And how theNinjaCrispi stacks up compared to thebest air fryerson the market.

The timer can be adjusted by minute increments, and you could also add and lower.

One thing I found a bit odd is you could’t quit your cooking setting early.

Plus, unlike the Crispi, there’s no extra accessories to store.
