Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 2kg 6 Function Air Fryer - Black vs Foodi MAX Dual Zone 4kg Food Capacity Air Fryer — Comparison

The Ninja AF300UK Foodi Dual Zone and the Ninja AF400UK Foodi MAX Dual Zone are both six-function, two-basket air fryers with touch controls and an LCD display, and both list dishwasher-safe parts and an auto-adjust fan. The AF300UK holds 2kg of food in a 7.6-litre capacity and costs £199, while the AF400UK holds 4kg in 9.5 litres and is listed at £179. The bigger model is also the cheaper one, and it is 35mm wider and 10mm taller, so the extra space costs less.

Both share the same presets: air fry, bake, dehydrate, max crisp, reheat and roast. Neither offers defrost, prove, keep warm or rotisserie, so the real difference is capacity. The AF300UK suits one or two people with a smaller footprint on the worktop, while the AF400UK suits a family. Buyers of both praise crisp chips, easy-to-use controls and non-stick drawers that clean easily, and say the square basket fits more food than many rivals.

Some buyers say the drawers could be larger, and one notes that the recipe book is a download rather than included. A few expected a little more from the cooking results, and one buyer found it good but not quite as good as expected. Overall, buyers rate the cooking performance well and say the controls are simple to follow.

Bottom line: choose the AF400UK if you cook for a family and want more capacity at a lower price, choose the AF300UK if you cook for one or two people and want a smaller air fryer on the worktop.
