The Chefman 6-Qt Dual Basket Air Fryer is a compact dual basket with two independent 3-Qt baskets and a viewing window on each basket. Amazon lists it at 11.81" wide, 13.38" deep and 10.63" tall and about 12 lbs. Chefman gives it Sync Finish, a Hi-Fry option, a +2 minute button, a shake reminder and a 200–450°F range at 1700W. Buy it if you cook for 1 to 3 people, have a small counter and like watching food crisp. Skip it if you cook for a family of four or more, since each basket only holds 3 quarts.
Best for: Singles, couples, dorms and apartments. At under 12 inches wide it fits where a 17-inch side-by-side model will not, and two 3-Qt baskets are enough for a protein and a side for two.
Skip it if: You cook for four or more, or want to roast a whole chicken. The Chefman TurboFry Touch Dual 9-Qt and the Ninja DZ401 have much bigger baskets. If you want Ninja's Smart Finish in a small size, see the Ninja DZ090 6-Qt.

Size is the main trade-off. Two 3-Qt baskets cook a side and a main for two well, but you will be cooking in batches for a bigger group, and a crowded basket steams food instead of crisping it. Chefman lists a top temperature of 450°F, but on Amazon some reviewers say their unit only reached a 400°F setting, and some also report units that stopped working after several months. Keep your receipt and register the 1-year assurance. The windows are a real plus: you can check fries or wings without pulling the basket and letting heat out.
If you want a small dual basket from Ninja, the Ninja DZ090 6-Qt is the closest match. For more room with windows, look at the Chefman TurboFry Dual DC 9-Qt or the COSORI TwinFry 10-Qt. If counter width is the problem but you need 8 quarts, the stacked Ninja DoubleStack SL201 is worth a look. Need something to cook first? Try our parmesan cauliflower bites.
It is a compact Chefman TurboFry Touch air fryer with two independent 3-Qt baskets (6 Qt total), a viewing window on each basket, Sync Finish, a Hi-Fry option, a +2 minute button and a shake reminder. Amazon lists the model as RJ38-SQPF-3TDB-2W.
Amazon lists it at 13.38 inches deep, 11.81 inches wide and 10.63 inches tall, and about 12 lbs. That makes it one of the narrower dual basket air fryers, but each basket only holds 3 quarts.
Chefman lists a temperature range of 200 to 450°F. On Amazon, some reviewers say their unit only let them set 400°F, so check the presets and Hi-Fry option on your unit if you need the highest heat.
Yes. Sync Finish lets the two baskets run different times and temperatures and still finish together, so a main and a side are ready at the same moment.
It is best for 1 to 3 people. Two 3-Qt baskets handle a protein and a side for two, but a family of four or more will usually want 8 to 10 quarts, like the Ninja DZ401 or the Chefman TurboFry Touch Dual 9-Qt.
Yes. Chefman says the removable nonstick baskets are dishwasher safe. Hand-washing them helps the nonstick coating last longer.
