I never thought I’d get excited about replacing my microwave, but the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer has made a pretty convincing case for ditching two appliances and making room for one. Combining a microwave with a built-in air fryer, it’s designed to speed up everyday cooking, give leftovers their crunch back and, perhaps best of all, free up some valuable kitchen counter space.
Priced at $449.99, it’s certainly not a budget-friendly microwave. But this is no ordinary machine for heating leftover soup. Ninja has paired a 1,000W microwave with a 1,700W air fryer system, powered by its FusionCrisp technology, which combines the speed of microwave cooking with the golden, crispy results you’d typically expect from an air fryer.
