Skip if
Shoppers who require a full manufacturer warranty or are uncomfortable with renewed inventory should buy new. The 8 qt split capacity also means each individual basket holds less than 8 qt, so those feeding a large group at once may find the per-basket volume limiting.

Overview
The DZ201-cr renewed listing covers a dual-zone air fryer that lets you run two baskets independently at different temperatures and times. Combined capacity is 8 qt, which is practical for preparing a protein in one compartment and a side in the other without swapping mid-cook. The 1690 W power rating keeps cooking times in a normal range for this basket size.
The dark grey stainless finish and stainless steel construction give it a premium appearance relative to typical all-plastic budget units. Touch controls keep the interface clean and responsive. At 17.9 lb the unit is substantial and stays stable on the counter during operation. Dimensions of 10 x 15 x 10 in make the footprint manageable compared to oven-style air fryers with comparable total capacity.
At $139.99, the renewed price positions it well below what most dual-basket new units cost. The 4.6-star average from nearly 1,000 buyers is the strongest indicator that the renewed units arriving to customers are in good working condition. Buyers who might spend $180 to $220 on a new dual-basket model could find real savings here with minimal functional compromise.
Performance notes
At 1690 W with an 8 qt total capacity split between two zones, each basket likely holds roughly 4 qt, which is comfortable for two to three servings per side. Touch controls at 110 V make this a standard US-outlet unit. The dark grey stainless finish on the exterior signals the underlying unit is from a recognizable dual-basket lineup. The 17.9 lb weight anchors it on the counter, reducing vibration or movement during high-fan operation. Two independent heating zones mean you can finish both components of a meal at the same time without timing gymnastics.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 927 reviews is unusually high for a renewed listing, suggesting that Amazon's renewal process for this unit is delivering product that meets or exceeds buyer expectations. Renewed products typically attract more scrutiny in reviews, so maintaining a near-5-star average at this volume implies unit functionality is solid. Some buyers may note minor cosmetic wear typical of renewed goods, but the score suggests this is not a widespread frustration.

Frequently asked questions
What does Amazon Renewed mean for this air fryer?
Amazon Renewed products are pre-owned or open-box items that have been inspected, tested, and certified to work and look like new. They typically include a 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee, though this differs from a full manufacturer warranty. Minor cosmetic blemishes may be present.
How does the dual-basket setup work in practice?
Each basket operates on its own timer and temperature setting, so you can run one basket at 375 F for chicken and the other at 350 F for vegetables and have both finish at the same time. This removes the need to cook in sequences and lets you serve a complete meal at once.
Is 8 qt enough for a family of four?
For a family of four, 8 qt split across two baskets can work for side dishes and moderate portions of protein, but larger families who cook big batches in one session may find the per-basket volume tight. For everyday two-component meals it is generally sufficient.
