Ninja Air Fryer MAX PRO 6.2L - Black vs CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer — Comparison

The Ninja AF180UK MAX PRO is a 6.2-litre drawer air fryer at £149, with six cook settings, heat up to 240C and an LCD display with real push buttons. Its listed footprint is 280mm wide, 360mm deep and 305mm high, It lists six functions but no keep warm or defrost setting. The Ninja CRISPi FN101UKST costs £179 and works differently: a 1700W power pod sits on glass containers of 1.4 or 3.8 litres, with four preset functions and a viewing window.

The practical difference is capacity and cooking style. The AF180's single 6.2-litre drawer is larger than either glass container on the CRISPi, so it suits family meals and batch cooking, and buyers mention even, reliable results. The CRISPi's appeal is the containers themselves: they double as storage with lids that can go in the fridge, and buyers say it cooks well for two people. Its listed dimensions are a little larger than the AF180's at 304mm wide, 340mm deep and 345mm high, so it is not the more compact unit its look suggests.

Reviewers of the AF180 praise how easy it is to clean and prefer real buttons to touch controls, though the drawer can stick when pushed back in and the default timer starts at 20 minutes. CRISPi owners like how light it feels and how quickly it gets food on the table, but several note there is no temperature setting, and one wanted a manual timer rather than presets.

Bottom line: choose the Ninja AF180UK if you cook for a family and want a larger single basket with heat up to 240C, choose the Ninja CRISPi if you want glass containers for cooking, storing and washing up and mostly cook for one or two.
