Our Verdict

Ninja AF101

Ninja Crispi FN101GY

The Ninja AF101 is a better air fryer than the Ninja Crispi FN101GY for most people. The AF101 makes better-quality fried food, leaving a larger portion of each batch well-cooked and crispy. It also cooks faster. The AF101 provides more versatility, too; it has wider temperature and fan speed ranges, and while each fryer features four cooking modes, the AF101 allows you to input manual settings as well, while you're limited to the preset modes with the Crispi. That said, although the AF101 actually has a slightly larger capacity, the Crispi takes up less space and has a bit more surface area in its cooking chamber, so it's easier to spread food out in a single layer.
