Frequently asked questions
It ranks #5 (B tier) on our consolidated air fryers board, drawn from 17 independent outlets.
Anyone who wants the single-basket fryer least likely to break. It is deliberately simple, with no app, no probe and no dual-zone complexity, and Good Housekeeping's testing has consistently favoured Ninja's core basket models. Buy the Cosori TurboBlaze instead if you want more modes for less money, it is the value pick at the top of our board. Buy the Ninja Foodi DualZone DZ401 if you cook two dishes at once.
Longer than feature-heavy rivals, because there is less to fail. It refines a proven platform rather than reinventing it, and the board lists no cons for it. The nonstick basket coating is the part that wears, and Ninja replacement baskets are widely sold. The contrast on our board is the Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer, whose water tank and app are exactly the kind of complexity that fails in year two.
Air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate. Air fry and roast are the same rapid hot-air cooking at different default temperatures. Reheat runs cooler so leftovers crisp without drying out. Dehydrate holds a low temperature for hours to dry fruit, jerky or herbs.
No, and on our board that counts in its favour. Simplicity is a durability feature, there is no software to stop being updated and no probe socket to fail. If you want a meat thermometer built in, the Ninja Foodi DualZone line covers it. If you want everything controlled from a phone, the board does not recommend any app-dependent fryer.
Yes, the basket and crisper plate can go in the dishwasher. Hand washing in warm soapy water extends the life of the coating. Avoid metal scourers and metal utensils in the basket. Wipe the heating element guard and the chamber with a damp cloth once cold.
