Ninja Rolls Out DualZone Crispi Air Fryer, Enabling Simultaneous Cooking of Two Dishes

Kitchen appliance maker Ninja has introduced a new version of its Crispi glass air fryer, dubbed the DualZone model, which can prepare two separate foods at the same time. The product went on sale in the United Kingdom on September 9, priced at £299.99, and is being marketed as a step up from the single‑zone predecessor.

The DualZone unit features a pair of transparent glass containers that operate independently, each with its own heating element and airflow system. Because the containers are made of glass, users can move them directly from the refrigerator or freezer to the countertop and even to the dining table, eliminating the need for additional dishes. The separate zones allow distinct temperature and time settings, meaning a batch of fries can crisp while a piece of chicken roasts without cross‑contamination of flavors.

Air fryers have surged in popularity over the past few years as consumers seek healthier, faster ways to achieve fried‑style textures without large amounts of oil. Most models on the market offer a single cooking chamber, which limits the ability to prepare complementary items simultaneously. Ninja’s dual‑zone approach addresses that gap, positioning the Crispi DualZone as a convenience‑focused alternative in a crowded segment that includes brands such as Philips, Cosori and Instant Pot.

At £299.99, the DualZone sits toward the higher end of the UK air‑fryer price spectrum, reflecting its dual‑cooking capability and the inclusion of two glass vessels. The launch aligns with Ninja’s broader strategy of expanding its countertop appliance lineup, and the company has highlighted the product’s ease of cleaning and dishwasher‑safe components as selling points. Retailers report that the unit is available both online and in select brick‑and‑mortar stores, with initial stock aimed at meeting the anticipated demand from households that regularly prepare multiple side dishes.

Analysts suggest that the DualZone’s ability to handle two dishes in one appliance could appeal to families and small‑space kitchens where countertop real‑estate is at a premium. If consumer uptake matches early expectations, the feature may spur further innovation among competitors, potentially leading to more multi‑zone air fryers or hybrid appliances that combine air‑frying with other cooking methods. For now, Ninja’s latest offering adds a new dimension to the home‑cooking toolkit, and its performance in the market will likely shape the next wave of air‑fryer development.
