Our take on the Ninja Air Fryer XL With MaxCrisp, 6.5 Qt, 6-In-1, AF181

The Ninja AF181 is a 6.5-quart basket air fryer with six functions: Max Crisp, air fry, air roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. Max Crisp pushes superheated air up to 450F, so frozen foods go straight from the freezer to a crisp finish without thawing. The nonstick basket and crisper plate are dishwasher safe, and the footprint stays compact for its capacity. It suits families and batch cooks who want one countertop appliance for wings, fries and reheating; against pod-style and dual-zone rivals it trades a second zone and app control for simple, large-batch cooking.
