Is the Ninja Crispi Pro worth it over a cheaper basket air fryer?

If you want to watch food cook and prefer glass over a coated basket, it earns its premium. For large families or tight budgets, a bigger basket fryer gives more capacity per dollar.

How much food fits in the glass bowl?

It is sized for one to two portions per batch. Plan on cooking in rounds for a family of four.

Can the glass bowl go in the dishwasher?

Ninja advises hand washing the glass vessel to avoid thermal shock and chipping. Wipe it while warm for the easiest clean.

What can the 6-in-1 modes do?

The modes cover air frying, roasting, baking, reheating, dehydrating and a keep-warm style setting. Most everyday cooking uses air fry and roast.

Does it need to preheat?

At 1800 W it heats quickly, and most recipes need only a short preheat. Add a few minutes for dense frozen foods.

Our take on the Ninja Crispi Pro 6-in-1 Glass Air Fryer Rose Quartz AS101RS

The Ninja Crispi Pro is a 6-in-1 glass-bowl air fryer with 1800 watts of power, sold in a Rose Quartz finish. Its clear glass cooking vessel lets you watch food crisp without opening the basket, and the 6-in-1 modes cover air fry, roast, bake, dehydrate, reheat and more. It sits in Ninja's premium tier, so expect to pay more than for a basic basket fryer.
