QUICK SUMMARY
Ninja has launched the Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer to the US market.
Priced at $449.99, the Ninja Crispi Microwave combines the speed of a 1000W microwave with the power of its Crispi air fryer.
Ninja has just debuted its first-ever microwave, and it claims to be better than its popular Crispi glass air fryer. Using FusionCrisp technology, the Ninja Crispi Microwave combines the power of an air fryer with the speed of a microwave, making it 50% faster than a traditional oven.
Despite being the go-to name for air fryers, the Ninja Crispi Microwave is the first time that Ninja has ever developed a microwave. But in true Ninja style, it hasn’t completely ventured away from its air fryer roots, as the new Ninja Crispi Microwave can also be used as an air fryer.
Expanding its Ninja Crispi line-up, the Ninja Crispi Microwave has an internal glass cooking surface, and comes with a 5.5-quart glass container that fits inside the microwave. It can also fit a 9” x 11” baking dish, and can cook for up to 10 people at a time.
At the base of the Ninja Crispi Microwave is an XL flatbed, which not only delivers more usable cooking space but also replaces the traditional turntable action that you get from other microwaves. Measuring 14.08 inches in height, 16 inches in length and 19.65 in width, the Ninja Crispi Microwave is fairly compact, too, and can fit nicely in your kitchen.
The Ninja Crispi Microwave comes with FusionCrisp technology, which combines the speed of a 1000W microwave with the superheated rapid air power of the Crispi air fryer. When cooking meals, the Ninja Crispi Microwave starts with microwaving before automatically switching to air fryer mode to make your meals crispier.
While it looks and acts like a microwave, the Ninja Crispi Microwave has lots of settings to choose from, and is technically a 14-in-1 appliance. It comes with eight microwave pre-sets including soup, potato, popcorn, beverage, defrost, soften butter, frozen dinner and frozen vegetables, and it can reach up to 450°F.
As an air fryer, the Ninja Crispi Microwave has five air fryer pre-sets – crisp, max crisp air bake, air roast and air broil. Microwaves have somewhat lost their appeal over the years but having this type of functionality can definitely bring them back.
Available in black or silver, the Ninja Crispi Microwave is available to buy for $449 at SharkNinja. As of writing, it’s not yet available in the UK but I expect it to arrive in the UK and Europe later in the year.
