Our Verdict
Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181
Ninja Crispi Pro AS101
The Ninja Crispi Pro AS101 and the Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL AF181 have different strengths, and you may prefer one over the other depending on what's most important to you. When it comes to frying quality, the Crispi Pro comes out ahead, leaving more of your food crispy and well-browned. Where speed is concerned, however, the Air Fryer Pro XL has the edge. It preheats and cooks faster, and it also reheats more quickly after you open the drawer to add food. Both options offer impressive versatility, making either a solid choice if you want to use your air fryer for baking, dehydrating, or roasting.
