plus its just one tiny basket and i have two hungry kids and a husband who eats like he hasnt seen food in a week. i spend my whole night standing in the kitchen doing batches of fries and nuggets and by the time the fries are actually crispy the chicken is stone cold and i have to microwave it which defeats the whole purpose of having an air fryer in the first place!! im just done. i need a dual basket one so i can actually finish a whole meal at the same time and sit down with my family for once instead of eating over the sink while the second batch cooks.

since black friday 2026 is right around the corner im finally ready to drop some actual money on a good one like a ninja or something similar that wont die on me in two years. my budget is maybe 150 to 200 dollars if the deal is good enough. i usually check amazon first but their shipping has been so weird lately and i dont want to wait three weeks for it to show up. i live near a target and a costco too.

does anyone know who usually has the best doorbusters or online deals for the high end dual basket models this year? i dont want to get scammed by another flash sale for a junk brand again. is it better to just brave the crowds at best buy or should i keep refreshing the walmart site at midnight? i really need to get this sorted before the holidays really kick off because i am not cooking christmas dinner in this peeling metal box...
