Our Verdict

MasterChef AF9003A

Ninja Crispi FN101GY

The MasterChef AF9003A performs a bit better than the Ninja Crispi FN101GY, though you may prefer either depending on your priorities. The MasterChef produces better-quality fried food, so more of each comes out crispy. The Ninja, on the other hand, preheats and cooks more quickly. It also maintains a more stable temperature while cooking and offers more versatility. While the MasterChef offers a wider temperature range, the Ninja has different fan speeds for different settings, though you can't change them or the temperature manually.
