Air fryer - one big drawer or two smaller ones?

[toomanyoptionsaargh]

Another one about air fryers...sorry!

I want to buy an air fryer and am struggling to decide whether to get one with 1 big drawer (specifically I've been looking at the Cosori Dual Blaze which has 2 heaters and means you don't have to shake the food/preheat it) or go for one with 2 drawers. If you have one drawer, do you wish you had 2? Or if you have 2 drawers is it annoying for bigger items?

Any words of advice as to what to get?? We're a family of 4 if that makes a difference?

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

I have a one drawer one which I will be changing to 2 drawers as I cook vegetarian and meat in sane meals so will save me time and means I don't have to use oven or job for other element of meal!

Thanks for your reply - I can see that having two drawers would definitely be good for separating meat and vegetables.

I have a two drawer one and wouldn't want a 1 drawer one.

Good for doing meat/non meat versions; or meat and sides, main and pudding etc, smaller items etc.

Thanks - and do you find the baskets are big enough for cooking whole meals? So enough meat and sides for 4 people in the two drawers? I assume you can pretty much fill each basket as long as you give them a shake at some point?

We have a 1 drawer one because we can't fit something too big in our kitchen. I really love it but if I had space and was buying new I would get a bigger, 2 drawer version.
We have a ninja and it's really good

I've started with a one drawer, as I have the option of using foil or silicone dishes to separate ingredients.

I've got a Phillips 1-drawer, but I bought a rack that sits inside the basket & effectively doubles the cooking area.

I have one drawer. I wish I had something I could fit a chicken in which I don’t. I’m thinking of upgrading.

Thank you all, a few things to think about!

One drawer but we use it so much I want a double one now.

Thinking of the ninja foodi but can't decide on 2 drawers or one large one 10.4 ltrs even though the large one has a divider.does anyone have any pro's and con's on this.😕Thankyou.

I would be inclined to say go for the large one with the divider. But it does depend what you use it for. Personally, I have a single drawer one but not a big one. I'd happily keep my single drawer but go bigger. That's because, for example, if I'm doing chips or something, I'd like to be able to do enough for everyone in one go and I seldom want to use the air fryer for two completely differnet things. And I can't fit a whole chicken in mine.

SIL on the other hand loves her two drawers as she often uses it to cook completely different things at the same time. She'll toss some chicken nuggets for the DC in one draw and a pile of tomatoes and peppers for roasted veg for her in the other.
