Ninja Crispi Portable Air Fryer vs VerdeVida 15-in-1 Vegetable Chopper

These are not competing products. The Ninja Crispi is a portable electric air fryer that cooks food; the VerdeVida is a manual chopper, slicer and spiralizer that preps raw vegetables. Buy the Crispi if you want to cook crispy food in small or large batches, including away from home. Buy the VerdeVida if you mainly want fast, even prep for salads, stir-fries and zoodles and already have a way to cook. On build, the Crispi's borosilicate glass and 1,500-watt PowerPod feel more substantial than the VerdeVida's plastic body and 420 stainless blades, which owners rate 3.9 out of 5.

• Choose the Ninja Crispi if you want one appliance that air fries, bakes, recrisps and keeps food warm, with glass containers that double as storage and travel.
• Choose the VerdeVida 15-in-1 if your bottleneck is chopping and slicing vegetables by hand and you want eight interchangeable blades and a 1.2L catch container.
