Uses their 6 qt Duo Crisp only as a pressure cooker: the extra lid saves no space and the air fry space is too small, so a separate Ninja is easier.

Finds two-layer air frying hard in the Duo Crisp when items need flipping, struggling to pull the top layer out with big oven mitts.
Uses their Duo Crisp at least twice weekly but the air fryer part only monthly, since the pot's size and shape limit single-layer air frying.
Loves and uses their Duo Crisp all the time, but the deep round pot makes single-layer air frying difficult.
Loves their 8 quart Duo Crisp for big cuts and large amounts, but says the slow cooker function is terrible.
Uses the Duo Crisp basket mostly for potatoes and veggies, but reaching the second layer to flip wings is a pain.
Says the Duo Crisp works really well and they can't say a bad thing, but the air fryer is small, so they added a standalone Vortex Plus.
Has had a Duo Crisp for a couple of months; 8 qt is plenty for pressure cooking but the air fryer basket is smallish so large batches need shifts.
