Previously I had WOOTed a 6qt (maybe still a Chefman) and was learning and liking. That ended up at the cabin. Half because I forgot to packit and half because quick cooking there is nice sometimes.
So I was pondering a double basket to say cook a protein and a veggie.
I am Keto - so I cannot comment on fries - but I cook a lot of proteins and veggies in this. I cook steaks, burgers, sausage dogs, buns, veggies, etc in this. So don't shy away from an air fryer like I did if you are Keto. These are (no longer) a gimmick and are great and I'm using my oven and outdoor grill less and less.
I love the sync-finish button. If you know your times then you'll finish very well. For example hot dogs (more for my son - but hmm think sausage dog and I'm there. One basket 4-6 minutes for the dogs and other basket two minutes for the buns (Yes they come out great!) Sync finish and it all comes out ready to serve.
I did notice this version has no actual air input/output vents in the baskets (the bottom is raised - but no air input there - so all air must come from the top. So I don't know how this will do with more than one layer.
I am single but I think this would be fine for a couple. For example a 10 oz ribeye fit in the basket and cooked fine (does need flipping) and the veggies on the other side. Enough for two for sure.
Notes:
I really thought I would strongly miss a knob for time and temp. But (1) Temp is almost *always* 400 ;) and (2) Time, well it starts at 10 minutes and decrements by two. So while I'd still like a knob - I am not hating this like I thought I would. And there is a +2 minute button to tack on the end if needed.
This does not have any food presets. Probably for the better as they're often not spot on. But easy to look up and/or I have the Momo & Nashi fridge magnet page tabbed guide (on AZP)
You CAN turn the beeping off contrary to some complaints.
I'm not sure the liner coating is as durable as my original, more expensive, Chefman 6q
I don't - yet - know how this will do with more than a single layer. Hmm. That calls for a basket of wings. I'm confident I'll need to shake/mix - but we'll see (due to only top down air circ.
The window is nice - you can see some progress - but I haven't used it enough to see how long a nice clear window lasts or is cleanable reasonably.
The "light" is the heating element - so it will go on and off as it heats. So just know there is no constant light.
This should be 3 or more inches from the wall. Not critical - but most circulation is from the bottom of the unit (unit's circulation) so I don't want to damage my wallpaper.
I really like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725GYNG6 for this. As a set of two - the unit sets nicely on one - just right. The 2nd lives on top - but when I'm using the unit - it goes in front and so I can pull baskets and deal with them without the hot basket directly on the counter top. Also not bad for drying. Then it goes back on top. I do not buy many Amazon brands as they are often substandard - but these are spot on and economical and as 2 pieces I retain some flex on the counter top.
For cleaning I really, really like, https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Platinum-Powerwash-Starter-Bundle/dp/B082DLGV3F Dawn Powerwash. My dishwasher is good enough to not need it - but it makes really quick spray and hot water hose/rinse immediate clean up of basket very nice.
I'm not paid nor received anything. I do like to review things I really like.

feature I do not like is that it beeps repeatedly with a "shake" message every couple of minutes. Overall, I think this a great dual fryer option for the price.
