Why it sits behind the Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer 140-3088-01
The Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT ClearCook Air Fryer 140-3088-01 (9.2) beats the Ninja Crispi Pro 6-in-1 Countertop Glass Air Fryer AS101LG (9.1) because it leaves owners a little happier.

About the Ninja AS101LG
The AS101LG is the bone-colored US model of the Crispi Pro. A glass container sits on a modular base that holds the heating element and fan. Two containers come with it: a 6-quart and a 2.5-quart. A 4-quart container fits the same base but is sold separately.
It has six functions: Max Crisp, Air Fry, Bake/Proof, Roast, ReCrisp and Dehydrate. Target's listing gives a ceiling of 450°F for Air Fry and Max Crisp, 400°F for Roast, ReCrisp and Bake, and 195°F for Dehydrate. There is no dedicated broil setting.
Each container comes with a snap-lock lid, so it works as a storage dish for the fridge. Aluminum crisper plates with a PFAS-free nano-ceramic coating come in the box, along with a recipe book. The containers, plates and lids are dishwasher safe.
What owners report about the Ninja AS101LG
Owners like being able to see food cook through the glass without opening anything. They also like how easy the glass is to clean, the range of functions, and the look of the machine. Some use the lidded containers to store and reheat leftovers.
The complaints are more varied. Some owners find cooking uneven, with a large roast overdone outside and underdone inside. Others find it slow to heat. Food can touch the heating element in the small container. The display is dim, and some owners question the value for the money. Owners also describe it as bulkier than they expected.
Cleaning has one catch. Owners report a gap where the glass meets the fixed base, which traps debris and water and is hard to scrub and dry. Noise comes up too: the fan is audible, and the finish beeps are loud. Some owners report cracked or damaged glass and units that arrived damaged, but this is a minority report, and for long-term durability there is little feedback on this exact model so far.
Who the Ninja AS101LG suits
It suits people who like watching food crisp, want one dish that goes from cooking to table to fridge, and want a basket with no coating to wear. It also fits households that cook mainly for one to four people.
Look elsewhere if you want the lowest price, a lighter machine or quiet operation. The Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 5 Qt AF141 is a plain budget basket. If you want to cook two foods at once, the Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 8-Qt 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology DZ201 has two drawers. Baking and roasting larger cuts suit the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS better.

Other air fryer picks
The other badge winners in our air fryers ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover air fryers for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
