The Verdict
The Ninja Crispi is a versatile 14-in-1 kitchen appliance that merges a 1000-watt microwave with a 1700-watt air fryer to reclaim your counter space.

- Easy Maintenance: The flat, turntable-free interior wipes down quickly, and all included cooking accessories are dishwasher safe, taking the headache out of post-meal cleanup.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: 14-in-1 cooking functions including air roast and broil; high 1700-watt air frying power; generous XL capacity; dishwasher-safe accessories.

Who Should Buy This?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ninja microwave air fryer combo safe for young children?
Yes, the unit features a 2-step safety lock that prevents children from opening the microwave while it is in use, which can be manually disabled when you do not need it.
What is the benefit of the flatbed design?
The flatbed design eliminates the need for a rotating turntable, which provides 40% more usable cooking space compared to a standard 0.9-cu-ft turntable microwave, allowing you to fit larger dishes like 9"x11" pans.
Can I use my own bakeware with the microwave air fryer combo?
You must use the included Ninja Crispi Microwave Glassware for all Air Fry and FusionCrisp functions. While standard microwave-safe glassware can be used during microwave-only mode, the specialized glassware is essential for the higher temperatures used during air frying.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for space-saving It’s much more expensive than normal microwaves and stand-alone air fryers, but if you’re tight on space like we are, having them combined is a great space-saving option.It’s been a few weeks and we’ve been impressed by both the microwave and air fry functionality. The air fryer has been a game changer for getting meals out for our toddler and has consistently done a good job. It heats up fast.Some might not like the controls. The knob/wheel takes some getting used to, but we adapted fast and I don’t mind it at all. It would be nice to have better lighting and better illumination of some buttons, but there’s not that many and you’ll quickly memorize which one is which. The door has a safety on it, but you can easily press it and the open button with one hand.Overall, I think it’s a good value if you need the space. If space isn’t a concern, then your money is probably better spent on a cheaper microwave and a Ninja stand-alone air fryer.Variation: Color: Silver
