Cookwise Dual Zone XL 9L

Manufacturer: Cookwise

The Cookwise Dual Zone XL 9L is a large-capacity basket-style air fryer designed to handle varied cooking tasks across its split 4.5 + 4.5 litre configuration. With dual zone sync technology, both compartments can be coordinated to finish cooking at the same time, making it practical for preparing multiple dishes simultaneously. A built-in window and interior light allow monitoring without interrupting the cooking cycle, and the digital controls keep operation straightforward.

The unit runs at 2570W and supports a temperature range from 80°C to 200°C, covering nine functions including air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat, keep warm, dehydrate, slow cook, and broil. It measures 400 mm wide, 380 mm deep, and 310 mm tall, with a total weight of 9700 g. The dishwasher-safe basket simplifies cleanup, and the appliance comes with a one-year warranty. Smart home integration and a preheat function are not included.

Pros
  • The split 4.5 + 4.5 litre configuration allows two different foods to be cooked at the same time, with dual zone sync ensuring both finish together
  • A built-in window and interior light make it possible to monitor cooking without opening the unit
  • Nine preset functions cover a broad range of cooking methods, from air frying and roasting to slow cooking and dehydrating
  • The dishwasher-safe basket reduces cleanup effort after use
  • Digital controls provide clear, straightforward operation
Cons
  • No preheat function, which may affect cooking consistency for certain recipes
  • Lacks smartphone connectivity, Alexa support, and Google Assistant compatibility, limiting remote or voice-based control
  • At 9,700 g, the unit is relatively heavy, which may make repositioning on a countertop less convenient
  • The one-year warranty period is limited for an appliance of this size and power draw
  • Maximum cooking temperature is capped at 200°C, which may not suit all high-heat cooking needs
Who is this for?

This air fryer works well for households that regularly cook multiple dishes at once, thanks to its dual zone sync and split 9-litre capacity that lets different foods finish at the same time. The broad range of nine preset functions — including slow cook, dehydrate, and broil — makes it a practical fit for users who want versatility without managing separate appliances. The dishwasher-safe basket and easy-to-read digital controls also suit those who prioritise straightforward daily use and simple cleanup routines.

Who is this NOT for?

Users with limited counter space may find the unit's footprint — 400 mm wide and 380 mm deep — and weight of 9,700 g difficult to accommodate or move around frequently. Those who rely on smart home integrations for convenience will find it lacking, as there is no support for Alexa, Google Assistant, or smartphone remote control. Similarly, cooks who need a preheat function as part of their workflow, or who regularly require temperatures above 200°C, will find the feature set and thermal range insufficient for those specific needs.

Final Verdict

The Cookwise Dual Zone XL 9L is a capable, large-format air fryer built around the practical demands of cooking multiple dishes without sacrificing timing or convenience. Its dual zone sync combined with a 9-litre split capacity is the standout feature, making it genuinely useful for households that cook varied meals regularly. With nine preset functions spanning a wide range of techniques and a dishwasher-safe basket for easy maintenance, it covers the essentials well. That said, the absence of smart home connectivity, a preheat function, and its considerable physical footprint mean it is best suited to kitchens where counter space is not a constraint and app-based control is not a priority. Overall, the Cookwise Dual Zone XL 9L is a solid, function-focused appliance that delivers on versatility and capacity for the right user.
