Ninja Foodi DZ201
Score: 86/100
Breville Smart Oven Compact
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ninja Foodi DZ201 is a dual-basket air fryer offering 8 qt total capacity and six versatile cooking programs, making it ideal for families needing to cook multiple dishes at once. Its main drawbacks are its bulky size and heavy weight, which can be challenging for smaller kitchens. Best suited for larger households that prioritize flexibility over compactness.
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact offers precise Element iQ heating and a versatile set of 10-11 functions in a brushed stainless-steel shell. Its modest 0.5 cu ft chamber and occasional temperature variance limit large-batch cooking. Ideal for small households seeking oven versatility without a full-size unit.

Professional reviewers commend the Ninja Foodi DZ201 for its generous 8-qt capacity, dual-zone flexibility, and versatile cooking programs, but they consistently point out its bulky footprint and large dimensions as drawbacks for kitchens with limited counter space.
Consumers praise the dual-basket design for enabling simultaneous cooking of separate dishes, the spacious interior for family meals, and the ease of cleaning. The most common complaints revolve around the appliance being larger and heavier than expected, making placement and handling challenging.
“dual compartments for cooking two meals simultaneously, saving time”
“Crispy air fry results”
“Compact size fits my apartment kitchen perfectly”
Opt for the Ninja Foodi if budget and core air-fry capability are priorities; select the Breville Compact for a more versatile, app-enabled oven experience.
Professional reviewers commend the oven's precise Element iQ heating, super convection speed gains and strong toasting performance, while noting the modest chamber size and temperature variance as limitations.
Everyday users appreciate the crisp air-fry results, intuitive presets and compact footprint, but repeatedly mention the limited interior space and occasional uneven toasting as pain points.
