Ninja AF101 Air Fryer Review
Olivia's rating
Approx. $129.99
Best overall air fryer — crisps evenly, cleans easily, and just works batch after batch.
How it scored
What we liked
- +Even, reliable crisping
- +Dishwasher-safe basket
- +Simple controls
What could be better
- –4-qt is small for families
- –No window to peek
Across fries, wings and roasted veg the Ninja gave the most consistent crisp with the least shaking. The 4-qt basket suits 2–3 people and the parts are dishwasher-safe.
How we tested the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer
54 hours hands-on. We bought this unit ourselves — no loaner, no sponsorship.
- ✓Cooked the same recipes in the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer and rival models — fries, wings, roast veg.
- ✓Checked crisping evenness, preheat time and how much shaking it needed.
- ✓Lived with cleanup for two weeks: basket, tray and odour retention.
- ✓Tested capacity with real family-sized batches, not lab portions.
