We inherited a dual-basket air fryer, a nice Ninja model, and had it for a week before realizing it was worthless compared to the convection oven we already had. Spacing things out enough in the compartments meant there wasn't enough food for even two people (unless you put the same food in both baskets), it took longer to use than the oven, it absolutely stunk up the house, and then it had to be cleaned. Weird product and we got rid of it.
I've got a dual basket Ninja and I haven't really found this to be the case for the past five years, most of which was cooking for two people
no issues with stink
perfectly sized for quickly cooking portions for two
does a better job for fries and tater tots and similar things than the oven
cleaning does suck a bit because the baskets barely fit in the sink and sometimes you gotta do that to scrub bc the dishwasher can't get the baked on stuff off
sure you can't fit two pounds of wings in it without needing to go toss 'em halfway through cooking, and yes it takes longer to cook and is more inconsistent if overloaded, but it can most definitely handle a large portion of food per basket. and if you're cooking more than two portions, that's what the oven is for
I gotta say I think you had the wrong use case / expectations and that there was some user error here. if appropriately loaded, it should never take longer to cook than the oven. it's better convection and heats up faster due to size. it simply beats the oven at this. but it has a hard limitation on capacity
