Ninja has released a microwave that combines a 1,000W microwave with a 1,700W air fryer system, powered by FusionCrisp technology. According to TechCrunch, reviewers have responded positively to the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer.
Unlike two separate functions bolted together, Ninja's FusionCrisp blends microwave speed with air fryer crispiness. The device aims to produce golden, crispy exteriors with juicy insides, eliminating the rubbery results of conventional reheating.
The Ninja Crispi costs $449.99. The machine measures 20.3 x 17.56 x 14.1 inches, so while it consolidates two appliances, it takes up considerable counter space. According to TechCrunch, the device is legitimately bulky.
Kitchen appliance combos are not new. Brands like Smeg have offered similar products, and many modern microwaves now include additional cooking features. The question is whether consumers will pay premium prices for integrated technology. How many people need simultaneous microwave and air fryer capabilities?
The no-rotating-plate design allows more cooking space and fewer blind spots. The 5.5-quart glass dish with nonstick crisper plate indicates practical design choices. For power users and reheating enthusiasts, this appliance may prove useful. Whether it becomes essential or a kitchen-cabinet mistake depends on market adoption.
