TechRadar reviews Ninja Crispi Microwave air fryer and microwave combo

TechRadar reviewer John McCann describes the Ninja Crispi Microwave as a versatile countertop appliance that combines a microwave with an air fryer. It can also grill and bake, while its FusionCrisp Technology uses both cooking systems in the same process.

The review highlights easy-to-use controls, microwave presets and an included glass dish with a removable crisper tray. The appliance has no rotating turntable, leaving the full cavity floor available for dishes. Ninja says this provides up to 20% more cooking surface than a turntable. The glass surface can become very hot after cooking.

The model has a 5.2L glass dish and measures 44.6 cm deep, 51.6 cm wide and 35.8 cm high. The review says it requires at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance above for airflow, which may limit where it fits. McCann found its glossy door and control panel attract dust and fingerprints.

TechRadar lists the price as $449.99 in the US and £359.99 in the UK. The review says it was not available in Australia at the time of writing. In the US, it came in four colors; in the UK, Stone Gold was not offered, leaving three options. The reviewer calls it expensive compared with a standard countertop microwave, while noting its additional air-frying and combination-cooking functions.
