Our Verdict

Ninja Foodi DZ550

Ninja Foodi DZ071

The Ninja Foodi DZ550 and the Ninja Foodi DZ071 are both good air fryers, and you may prefer one over the other depending on your specific needs. The DZ550 is a dual-basket model that produces better-quality fried food and works faster. The DZ071 features a single large basket that you can divide into two sections when needed. It maintains a more stable temperature and is a bit more versatile, with a lower minimum temperature that makes it a better choice for dehydrating and proofing dough. It's also smaller, but then again, it has a smaller capacity as well.
