What to know about Ninja Crispi Pro AS101 (AS101DG Ash Grey; also AS101CY, AS101LG)

A countertop air fryer that cooks in interchangeable 6-qt and 2.5-qt borosilicate glass containers that double as storage. RTINGS rates it the best small air fryer it has tested.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

The Crispi Pro is the best way here to cook in uncoated glass. Both containers are dishwasher-, microwave- and freezer-safe, so food can go from cooking to the fridge to reheating in one dish. RTINGS rates it the best small air fryer it has tested.

Ninja's FAQ says all food-contact surfaces are designed without PFAS and PTFE. That is a manufacturer claim, and only the glass vessel is uncoated; the crisper plates carry a nano-ceramic coating.

What to know

Skip it if you're watching the budget or counter weight. It costs around $270, weighs 18 pounds and holds 5.4 quarts by Consumer Reports' measure. The glass also gets very hot.
