Our Verdict

Ninja Foodi DZ550

T-fal Easy Fry XL

The Ninja Foodi DZ550 is a better air fryer than the T-fal Easy Fry XL. It makes great-quality fried food quickly, with a 10-quart capacity and a large surface area for cooking. It has two baskets for cooking different foods at the same time, and its wide range of fan speeds and temperature settings make it very versatile. It also regains its heat much more quickly after you remove the basket to add food and maintains quite a stable temperature throughout cooking. That said, it's a larger model, so you may prefer the T-fal if you're short on space.
