Fries in one drawer, wings in the other, both hot at the same time

At a Glance

Capacity: 9 quarts total, split across two 4.5 quart baskets
Controls: digital touchpad with separate time and temperature for each basket
Presets: 9 one-touch cooking programs
Range: 175 to 400 F with a 1 to 60 minute timer
Cleanup: non-stick baskets that go in the dishwasher
Footprint: 17.32 in long, 16.85 in deep, 11.22 in tall

The hardest part of an air fryer dinner is timing. The main dish wants 400 F and the side wants 350, so one of them always sits cooling on a plate while the other finishes. This Better Chef runs two independent 4.5 quart baskets side by side, each with its own time and temperature, so chicken and vegetables come out together.

Key Features

Two baskets, two settings: each drawer has its own time and temperature on the digital touchpad, so you can run 400 F on one side and a gentler setting on the other
360 degree air circulation: rapid hot air surrounds the food in each basket for crisp, evenly browned results with little or no oil
9 one-touch presets: start common dishes with a single tap instead of dialing in settings from scratch every time
A real temperature spread: 175 F is low enough to keep food warm or finish delicate items, and 400 F is hot enough to crisp fries and wings
Dishwasher-safe baskets: both non-stick baskets lift out and go straight into the dishwasher after dinner

What's Included

In the box: the Better Chef IM-438S air fryer base with its digital touchpad and two removable 4.5 quart non-stick baskets.

Before You Buy

The 9 quarts are split, not one open cavity. Each basket holds 4.5 quarts, which is great for two dishes at once but means a whole chicken or a large pizza will not fit in a single drawer
It is a wide appliance. At 17.32 inches across and 16.85 inches front to back it wants a clear stretch of counter, so measure before it arrives
The baskets are non-stick. Use silicone or wood tools and skip metal utensils to keep the coating in shape for the long run

Perfect For

Weeknight dinners where the protein and the side need different temperatures
Families cooking for picky eaters, with crispy nuggets on one side and roasted vegetables on the other
Game day batches of wings and fries that land on the table at the same moment
Reheating yesterday's takeout in one basket while tonight's snack runs in the other

Care & Use

Let the baskets cool, then wash them in the dishwasher or by hand with a soft sponge.
Wipe the base and touchpad with a damp cloth; never submerge the main unit.
Unplug the fryer before cleaning and give the vents open space while it runs.
Shake or turn food halfway through the cycle for the most even browning.

Why two baskets beat one big one

Dinner lands together

Separate time and temperature for each drawer means the chicken at 400 F and the vegetables at a lower setting finish on the same minute, instead of one dish going cold while the other cooks.

Crisp without the oil

360 degree rapid air circulation surrounds the food in each basket, browning fries, wings, and frozen snacks with a fraction of the oil a deep fryer needs, and no splatter to clean off the stovetop.

Cleanup is a dishwasher cycle

Both 4.5 quart baskets are non-stick and dishwasher safe. Lift them out, load them with the dinner plates, and the fryer is ready for tomorrow with a quick wipe of the base.

The numbers that matter

A two-zone family-size air fryer.

9 qt Total capacity across two baskets

2 x 4.5 qt Independent drawers with separate controls

9 One-touch presets on the digital touchpad

400 F Top temperature, down to 175 F

How does a dual basket compare to a single XL air fryer or a toaster oven?

vs. a single-basket XL air fryer

One big basket cooks one thing at one temperature. Two 4.5 quart drawers with separate controls cook the main and the side on different settings and finish them together.

vs. a countertop toaster oven

A toaster oven preheats slowly and browns unevenly at the edges. Rapid air circulation in a closed basket crisps faster and keeps the heat off the kitchen.

vs. running two appliances

An air fryer plus an oven means two preheats and two cleanups. This is one plug, one touchpad, and two dishwasher-safe baskets when dinner is done.

Fits your counter

A two-drawer unit is wider than a round air fryer. Here is the footprint before it arrives.

Length: 17.32 in
Depth: 16.85 in
Height: 11.22 in
Capacity: 9 qt (2 x 4.5 qt)

At 17.32 in across, it spans about the width of two stacked cookie sheets, so give it its own stretch of counter.
It is 16.85 in front to back and uses most of a standard 25 in counter's depth; slide it forward while cooking so the vents clear the backsplash.
At 11.22 in tall it sits comfortably under standard 18 in upper cabinets.

FAQs

Common questions that customers ask

Can I cook two different foods at the same time in the Better Chef IM-438S?

Yes. Each 4.5 quart basket has its own time and temperature on the digital touchpad, so fries can run at 400 F while a side cooks at a lower setting.

Is a 9 quart dual basket air fryer big enough for a family?

The two 4.5 quart baskets together handle a main dish and a side for a family dinner. Keep in mind the space is split in two, so a whole chicken will not fit in one drawer.

Are the baskets dishwasher safe?

Yes. Both non-stick baskets lift out and are dishwasher safe. The base and touchpad wipe clean with a damp cloth.

What is the temperature range on the IM-438S?

It adjusts from 175 F to 400 F, with a 1 to 60 minute timer, so it can keep food warm at the low end and crisp wings at the top end.

Do I need oil to cook in it?

Little or none. The 360 degree hot air circulation crisps food on its own; a light spray of oil adds extra browning on foods like fresh-cut fries.
