Test Conclusion

In the CHIP test, the Ninja Max Pro 6.2-liter air fryer proved to be uncomplicated and easy to use. It is controlled entirely via buttons; a touchscreen is not included. Automatic food programs are absent, but there are temperature and time recommendations, both of which can be adjusted manually at any time during cooking. We also missed having a shake function. Additionally, the power cord is only 80 cm long. Like many Ninja appliances, the Max Pro boasts a stylish design with a matte finish and a silver-colored handle. The Ninja Max Pro 6.2-liter heats up relatively quickly. The fries produced by this air fryer were among the best in the entire test; they were evenly cooked and very crispy. The Ninja also did a good job with croissants, although the pretzel stick wasn’t quite cooked through. With a maximum power of 2,000 watts, the Ninja uses a lot of power, but it is quite energy efficient. Individual parts are dishwasher safe.

Test Conclusion

The Ninja Foodi Flex Drawer (AF500EU) achieved a good overall result in our test. This air fryer has a large 10.4-liter capacity, large enough to accommodate even big roasts. A special feature of this model is the ability to divide the compartment into two equally sized sections using a divider, allowing you to prepare two different dishes simultaneously. Thanks to the sync function, these dishes are ready at the same time, even with different settings. Weighing around nine kilograms, the air fryer is quite heavy and has a footprint of 50 x 32 centimeters. Like almost all Ninja models, the Foodi Flex Drawer offers a wide temperature range of 40 to 240 degrees Celsius. In our test, the air fryer cooked fries and baked goods well and quickly, although it was somewhat noisy. The Ninja Foodi Flex Drawer is easy to use. It offers seven automatic programs, but there’s no reminder to shake the fries. In Flex mode with two compartments, the display only shows the temperature and not the remaining time.

Test Conclusion

The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone is an extra-large air fryer with two frying baskets and a massive 9.5-liter capacity. The Ninja Foodi is easy to use, and food can be cooked independently in each basket. Alternatively, they can be synchronized so that both cooking processes finish simultaneously. However, it lacks a shake reminder. Measuring 42 x 27 centimeters, the air fryer takes up a fair amount of counter space. The cooking results are pleasing, and the fries cook quickly and evenly. We did miss having a timer to remind us to shake the basket. The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone’s temperature range is from 40 to 240 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for both dehydrating and achieving extra crispiness. Individual parts are dishwasher safe. The appliance’s 80-centimeter power cord is rather short.

Test Conclusion

The Ninja Double Stack (LS300EU) achieved a good overall rating in our test. The special feature of this air fryer is its design: the two 3.8-liter compartments are stacked on top of each other, meaning it takes up very little space with a footprint of just 28 x 42 centimeters, making it ideal for small kitchens. Unlike most air fryers, the heating element and fan are located at the back, not directly above the food. As our test showed, this negatively affects heat distribution: food browns more in the center. Therefore, when preparing food, it’s important to shake and turn it regularly. We appreciated the low noise level during operation. Like all Ninja air fryers, the Double Stack can be operated within a temperature range of 40 to 240 degrees Celsius. Operation is quite straightforward: there are six automatic programs, but time and temperature can also be set manually.

Test Conclusion

The Ninja Crispi is anything but an ordinary air fryer: its modular design means it has to be assembled each time from a glass container and a Powerpod attachment with a heating element and fan. This makes it very compact and ideal for small kitchens. The package includes two glass containers with capacities of 1.4 and 3.8 liters, as well as two lids for easy transport of cooked meals. These containers are dishwasher-safe, as are the ceramic non-stick inserts. The glass allows you to easily watch the food sizzle, but you should be careful not to accidentally burn yourself on the container. Operating the Ninja Crispi is quite simple. There are four programs, including air frying and Recrisp, and you can also set the desired cooking time. You cannot adjust the temperature. Ninja specifies a temperature range of 50 to 185 degrees Celsius for the Crispi, but in our test, we measured temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius inside. The result didn’t always convince us: the fries in particular took a comparatively long time and didn’t become uniformly crispy.
