Which Ninja Air Fryer is Right For You?
Each of these countertop heavyweights is different from the next, and they're all powerful cookers. So which pick in our Ninja air fryer comparison is the right choice for you? Well, let's break it down, because they truly are all different.
If you're looking for a large, flexible air fryer that can feed the family, almost all of these will get the job done, though something like the DoubleStack XL 2-Basket air fryer might be your best choice. Bigger families might prefer the Double Stack XL Countertop Oven and Air Fryer, too. It's large enough to roast a whole chicken in the main compartment, and can make sides or desserts in the space above thanks to its extra functions. If you want something that saves the most space possible, the Flip is the best choice for you. When it's not being used, it folds away to take up only half of its footprint. The Ninja Crispi is a unique cooker, though, and great for anyone who wants to take recipes with them—it's easy to clip a top on the glass Ninja Crispi container and bring leftovers with you. The Ninja Crispi Pro is the perfect upgrade to that classic favorite and lives comfortably on the countertop. But the most popular pick in our Ninja air fryer comparison is the simplest one: the first on our list, the Pro 4-in-1. The classic air fryer has room for everything, it's easy to clean, and it's not too expensive, making it a great choice if you are looking for a classic air fryer. That being said, it's hard to make a bad choice with any of these appliances.
If you're having a hard time choosing, our specialists are here to help. Call us at 800-860-3577 or come see us and our small kitchen appliances in our Gourmet Shop in the Abt Atrium.

Ninja Air Fryer Comparison FAQs
-
That depends on the Ninja air fryer. Some baskets can be washed right in the dishwasher, while others need to be soaked. For toaster ovens, hand-wash crumb trays, baskets and racks using warm soapy water and non-abrasive sponges or cleaners.
-
Most of the brand's air fryers don't have a preheat function. Instead, you'll need to play it by ear a bit. Choose your recipe's temperature, then let it warm up for 3-5 minutes to become preheated. If yours has a preheat setting, use that instead.
-
That depends on the model you're using and what you're trying to cook. Most air fryers will have a few different settings, but air fry will always be on the list. Heat the unit for a few minutes, choose your function and your temperture, then press start. Depending on what you're making, it could be a good idea to flip (or shake) your foods halfway through the cool.

Some Ninja air fryer baskets can go in the dishwasher, like for the classic Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1.
