Ninja Double Stack XL SL400UK
Our verdict · Dual-zone cooking that stacks upwards instead of sprawling sideways, if you can justify the price and height.
Buy it if
You want true dual-zone cooking for two but lack the width for a side-by-side twin basket.
Skip it if
Your budget is under £100 or your worktop has low wall units above it.

If the appeal of an air fryer for two is finishing a main and a side together, the Double Stack XL solves it without the wide footprint of a side-by-side dual basket: Ninja stacks two 4.75L drawers (9.5L total) vertically, making it around 30% slimmer and about 38.5cm tall to fit under wall cabinets. It runs 2470W across six functions with two independently controlled zones, so chips and chicken can finish at the same time. The trade-off against the single-basket picks above is real: at roughly £199 it costs far more, needs cabinet clearance for its height, and 9.5L is more than two people usually need. We rank it third because that price drags its value score below the cheaper compacts, even though its performance and features are the strongest here; choose it only if simultaneous two-zone cooking genuinely matters to you.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Two independent zones cook a main and a side to different settings at once
- Vertical design is around 30% slimmer than side-by-side dual baskets
- Six functions and dishwasher-safe drawers cover most cooking
Cons
- Far pricier than a single-basket compact at around £199
- Tall build needs clearance under wall cabinets, and 9.5L is more than most couples need
