Our Verdict
Ninja AF101
thinkkitchen Retro Air Fryer
The Ninja AF101 is a better option for most people than the thinkkitchen Retro Air Fryer. While these models are nearly the same size and perform very similarly when it comes to air frying, the Ninja cooks faster and offers more versatility. The thinkkitchen is limited to one fan speed and a narrow temperature range, making it unsuitable for baking and dehydrating. The Ninja, on the other hand, has a wider temperature range, and its fan speed can vary depending on the application. It also offers a handful of cooking modes, such as 'Roast' and 'Reheat.' If you plan to use your air fryer for various purposes, choose the Ninja, but if you only plan to cook classic air-fried treats like French fries, you might prefer the thinkkitchen.
