Our Verdict

Ninja Foodi DZ550

Proctor Silex 35055

The Ninja Foodi DZ550 is a better air fryer than the Proctor Silex 35055. It makes great-quality fried food, while the Proctor Silex makes poor-quality fried food and works more quickly. The Ninja is also more versatile, with two baskets, so you can cook different kinds of food at the same time. It has better temperature stability and a wider range for both temperature and fan speeds, making it a better option for alternative applications like dehydrating and baking. That said, the Proctor Silex is smaller and more affordable, so if saving either space or money is your top concern, it may be worth a look.
