- Which is better for air frying?
- The Ninja Crispi. Its air fryer runs at 1700 watts and reaches 450°F, and FusionCrisp can microwave and air fry at the same time. The GE's air fry mode runs off a 1050-watt unit with no stated top temperature.
- Is the Ninja worth $251 more than the GE?
- Yes if air frying is a main use. You pay for a much stronger air fryer, combined cooking and a flatbed interior. If you mostly reheat and only occasionally air fry, the GE covers both for $199.00 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026.
- Which has more microwave power?
- The GE, at 1050 watts versus the Ninja's 1000 watts. The gap is small and unlikely to change daily reheating much.
- Which fits larger dishes?
- The GE lists a 1.0 cu. ft. cavity, slightly larger than the Ninja's 0.9 cu. ft. The Ninja's flatbed has no turntable, so square and rectangular dishes sit more easily, and Ninja claims 40% more usable space than a 0.9 cu. ft. turntable.
- Does the GE have any cooking mode the Ninja lacks?
- The GE adds convection baking as a separate mode. The Ninja covers bake, roast and broil through its 14 functions but does not list a convection mode.
- Which lasts longer?
- Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. The Ninja has a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 331 ratings; the GE has no rating given here. Check the warranty terms at checkout for both.
