Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket Airfryer Model NA350 series (model number varies by market)
Philips more or less started this whole category back in 2010, and the 3000 Series Dual Basket is the model Tom’s Guide names its best dual-zone air fryer. The clever bit is that the two baskets aren’t the same size: one big, one smaller. In a house where dinner is usually a big tray of one thing plus a little side, that suits real life better than two identical drawers you have to fill evenly.
Like every dual, it links the two zones so they finish together, and Philips’ fit and finish is a notch above the budget crowd — this is the ‘I just want a good one from a name I trust’ pick. The honest caveats: it’s a premium price, it takes up a lot of counter, and Philips sells this family under different model numbers in different countries, so match the exact model in the listing to the specs you’re expecting before you buy.

Skip it if you want the cheapest way to cook two things
The Ninja Foodi DZ550 does dual-zone for less and adds a meat thermometer. Only cook one thing at a time? A single wide basket like the Cosori TurboBlaze gives you more room for the money.
