How to choose

Two baskets and total capacity

Two baskets let you cook two foods at once instead of cooking in batches. The Ninja Foodi holds 10 quarts across two 5-quart baskets, the KMFurnila holds 9.5 quarts, and the Cuisinart holds 11 quarts across two 5.5-quart baskets. A larger total suits a main and a side in one round, while a smaller total suits a tighter countertop. Compare the total capacity with how much food you cook at once.

Sync cooking and reminders

Sync cooking copies settings or aligns finish times across both baskets. The Ninja Foodi has Smart Finish and Match Cook. The KMFurnila has Match Cook and Sync Finish. The Cuisinart has Sync Settings and Sync Finish. The KMFurnila has a shake reminder. The Cuisinart has a toss reminder. Match the sync feature to whether you cook one food in both baskets or two different dishes at once.

Cleanup and temperature range

Parts that go in the dishwasher cut cleanup time after cooking. The Ninja Foodi crisper plates go in the dishwasher. The Cuisinart crisper plate and basket go in the dishwasher. Temperature ranges differ: the Ninja Foodi cooks from 105°F to 450°F, and the KMFurnila cooks from 80°F to 450°F. Check the range against the foods you cook most.
