The Gourmia 10-Qt is the cheapest true dual basket air fryer worth buying. Under $80 gets you two independent 5-Qt baskets, SyncFinish, Match Cook, and FryForce 360 — features that Ninja charges $180+ for. Build quality is plastic-heavy and the controls feel budget, but the cooking results are surprisingly good. If you want dual basket cooking without the Ninja price tag, this is it. If you can afford more, the Ninja DZ401 is objectively better built and more durable.
Best for: Budget shoppers who want dual basket under $80. First-time air fryer buyers. Families of 3-5 who cook two foods at once. College students or apartment kitchens. Anyone who wants Ninja-style features at half the price.
Skip it if: You want premium build quality that lasts 5+ years — get Ninja DZ401. You want see-through windows — get Instant Vortex Plus ClearCook. You need WiFi/app — get COSORI Smart WiFi.

Yes. For under $80 it delivers true dual basket cooking with SyncFinish and Match Cook. Build quality is budget-tier but cooking performance is solid. Walmart's best-selling dual basket for a reason.
Ninja wins on build, evenness, and longevity. Gourmia wins on price ($60-80 vs $180-230). Both are 10 Qt with sync-finish. Budget pick = Gourmia. Long-term pick = Ninja DZ401.
360-degree hot air circulation. Distributes heat evenly from all angles so food crisps consistently without needing to shake or flip halfway through.
Match Cook copies the same settings to both baskets in one tap (big batch of fries). SyncFinish adjusts timing so both baskets finish together even with different foods/temps.
Yes. Baskets, crisper plates, and drip trays are dishwasher-safe with PFOA-free non-stick. Hand washing extends coating life.
