Is the Ninja AF101 worth it at $59.99?

At $59.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is a strong value for a basic 4-quart air fryer. That is well under the $109.98 it has recently been priced at, so it is a good time to buy if you want simple air frying and reheating.

How does it compare with the Ninja AF161 or dual-basket models?

The AF101 is smaller and simpler, with one 4-quart basket and no smart features. Dual-basket Ninja models cost more and take up more counter space but let you cook two foods at once.

How much food fits in the 4-quart basket?

It holds about 2 lb of French fries, enough for two to three people as a side. For whole chickens or meals for four or more, a 5.5-quart or larger model fits better.

Can it dehydrate food?

Yes. The 105°F minimum temperature supports dehydrating fruit, vegetables and jerky, though it takes hours and the single basket limits batch size.

What comes in the box?

You get the air fryer unit, a ceramic-coated nonstick basket with crisper plate, and a 20-recipe booklet. No accessories or extra racks are included.

Prices swing widely; it has been quoted around $109.98 recently and is $59.99 at eBay as of November 4, 2026. Watch for sale events like Black Friday and Prime Day for similar lows.
