Single Basket vs Dual Basket Air Fryers
The honest pros and cons — and who should actually pay the premium for dual.
Dual-basket air fryers are the fastest-growing category for good reason: they let you cook the protein and the side at different temperatures and finish them at the same time. But they're not automatically the right choice.
**Choose dual when:**
- You regularly cook full meals in the air fryer, not just chips.
- You have bench space (they're about 40cm wide).
- You value flexibility over the largest single capacity.
**Stick with single when:**
- You mostly cook one thing at a time (frozen items, sides).
- Bench space is tight.
- You want the maximum possible capacity per dollar.
