We're well into autumn, and that means more cozy nights in; busy school and work schedules; and, of course, holiday prep. Despite the fact that we're still a few weeks away from Black Friday, we're already seeing drops in prices across virtually all retail categories. That means now's a great time to stock up on appliances, tech and even practical holiday gifts. Right now you can save $80 on a Ninja DualZone air fryer at Amazon. That brings the price down to just $120. Prices and stock at Amazon tend to fluctuate without notice, so keep that in mind if you're considering jumping on this deal.

One super convenient feature of this 8-quart Ninja DualZone air fryer is that it has two compartments you can use at different settings for even faster meal prep. Each of these compartments has its own basket, fan and cyclonic heater. The six settings allow you to air fry, air roast, broil, bake, dehydrate and reheat, and it's got a temperature range of 105 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an even more versatile kitchen appliance. With dimensions of 13.86 by 15.63 by 12.4 inches, this machine doesn't take up too much valuable counter space, so you'll be able to keep it handy for quick use.
