The best dual basket airfryer

Two drawers, two temperatures, a synchronised finish: the most popular layout. Here are the models that do it well.

What makes a good dual drawer

Synchronisation

The feature that delays one drawer so both finish together: it is what changes everyday cooking.

Volume split

Two equal drawers are versatile; one large and one small match the main + side habit.

Footprint

Side by side, two drawers take width; stacked, they take height. Measure before you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Is a dual drawer worth the extra cost?

Yes if you often cook a main and a side. For one dish at a time, a large single drawer costs less.

Can I cook the same thing in both drawers?

Yes: most models offer a feature that copies one drawer's settings to the other to double the quantity.

Are the drawers dishwasher-safe?

On every model in this comparison, baskets and racks are listed as compatible. Hand washing keeps the coating longer.
