Cosori's dual-basket model is the value pick for families who want two-zone cooking. At around £130 it undercuts the top Ninja AF400 (~£165) and even adds two more functions — eight versus six — covering air fry, roast, bake, reheat, dehydrate and grill, plus Sync Cook and Sync Finish to coordinate both sides, across 8.5L of dishwasher-safe baskets. The trade-off is size: each basket is 4.25L against the Ninja's 4.75L, so per-zone capacity is a little tighter, and the fixed divider means no single large-zone mode. Choose it to save money while keeping proper dual-zone cooking for a family of four; skip it if you want the largest drawers (the AF400) or ever need one big open space (the FlexDrawer or VersaZone).
