The Ninja DZ901 is the 2026 10-quart version of Ninja's DualZone air fryer: two independent 5-quart baskets, each with its own fan and heater, plus Smart Finish to end both baskets together and Match Cook to copy settings for one big 10-Qt batch. It has 6 programs, 1690 watts and dishwasher-safe crisper plates, and it sold for $199.99 on Amazon when we checked. Buy it if you feed four to eight people and want Ninja's proven two-basket layout in the larger size. Skip it if you want a built-in thermometer (get the DZ950), a narrower footprint or a lower price (the 8-Qt DZ801).
Best for: Families of four or more who cook a main and a side every night, batch-cook wings or fries for a crowd, and want a big-brand dual basket air fryer with simple dial controls.
Skip it if: You cook meat often and want doneness handled for you; the Ninja DZ950 adds a built-in thermometer and a 450°F top end. If you cook for one or two, the Ninja DZ801 is smaller and cheaper.

Specs from the Amazon listings on Nov 2, 2026. Also see our Ninja DZ302 review, the earlier 10-Qt DualZone XL.
The DZ901 is a 2026 listing, so it has far fewer Amazon ratings than the older Ninja DZ302 or DZ201. Amazon's bullet list still says "2 independent 4-quart zones" in one line, but the title, the box contents and Ninja's own page all say two 5-Qt baskets. Amazon lists a 400°F maximum, lower than the 450°F of the DZ950 and DZ302, which matters mainly if you like a hard sear on steak. It is wide: plan on about 14.5 inches of counter width and 16 to 17 inches of depth plus room for the rear vents, and give its 1690 watts its own outlet. Prices change often, so check the listing before you buy.
Two 5-Qt baskets fit a full family dinner. Pair our air fryer pork chops or chicken thighs with today's honey garlic carrots, or browse all of our easy air fryer recipes.
Carrot sticks tossed with a teaspoon of oil, smoked paprika and thyme, air fried at 400°F and finished with a light honey garlic glaze in about 25 minutes. Put the carrots in one 5-Qt basket and a chicken or pork main in the other, then press Smart Finish.
Get the recipe →It is Ninja's 2026 DualZone 10-quart air fryer. It has two independent 5-quart baskets, Smart Finish, Match Cook, 6 cooking programs and 1690 watts, and it comes in grey.
Both have two 5-Qt baskets, Smart Finish and Match Cook and the same footprint. The DZ950 adds a built-in Smart Thermometer and lists a 450°F maximum, while the DZ901 lists 400°F and cost about $20 less when we checked.
Yes. Smart Finish works out when to start the shorter cook so both baskets finish together. Match Cook copies one basket's settings to the other.
Ninja says it makes meals for 6 to 8 people, or up to 4 lb of French fries or wings at once. It suits families of four or more.
The crisper plates are dishwasher safe, and the nonstick baskets are easy to clean. Use non-metal tools to protect the coating.
Ninja lists a 1-year limited warranty for the DZ901.
