Can I use only one basket at a time?

Yes, all dual-zone air fryers allow single-basket operation. The other basket simply remains off. This gives you flexibility for smaller meals while having dual-zone capability when needed.

Do dual-zone air fryers use more electricity?

When using both baskets, yes — roughly 1,500-1,800 watts versus 1,200-1,500 for single basket. However, cooking both items simultaneously saves total energy compared to cooking them sequentially in a single basket.
