Ninja Air Fryer AF101C 4 QT 1550W Black - Open Box

A four-quart basket that crisps frozen food without heating the whole oven

The Ninja Air Fryer AF101C is the small countertop machine that quietly takes over the jobs your oven is too slow for. Fries, wings, frozen snacks and leftover pizza go in the 3.8 L ceramic-coated basket, 1,550 watts of convection heat does the work, and dinner is crisp without waiting twenty minutes for an oven to come up to temperature. Ninja rates it at up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods, tested against hand-cut, deep-fried French fries.

It is a genuinely compact unit at roughly 28 cm wide, so it parks on a counter beside the kettle rather than claiming a whole section of worktop. The basket holds about 2 lb of fries, which is a weeknight dinner for two to four people. The basket, crisper plate and multi-layer rack all go in the dishwasher, which is the part that decides whether an air fryer gets used on a Tuesday or stays in the cupboard.

Key Features

• 3.8 L ceramic-coated basket: nonstick and family-sized, holding up to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of French fries in a single batch.
• Four one-touch functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, each on its own button on the digital panel.
• Wide 105F to 400F range: low and slow for drying fruit, hot and fast for convection crisping, set with the temp keys.
• Up to 75% less fat: compared with traditional frying methods, tested against hand-cut, deep-fried French fries.
• Multi-layer rack included: stacks a second level into the basket so you can dehydrate more in one run.
• Dishwasher-safe parts: basket, crisper plate and multi-layer rack all lift out and go straight in.
• 1,550 watt motor: enough convection power to crisp straight from frozen with little or no added oil.
• Digital controls: separate time and temperature keys, a clear display and a Start/Pause key.
• BPA free: the food-contact parts are BPA free, and the basket interior is ceramic coated.

What to know before you buy

This is a single-basket machine, so everything cooks together in one drawer rather than in two independent zones. There is no viewing window, so checking on progress means sliding the basket out and looking. The panel carries four program buttons, Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, and a dedicated bake program is not one of them, though the temperature dial covers the range most recipes ask for. At 4 qt this is a compact fryer rather than a party-sized one, and tall items such as a whole chicken are not what the basket is shaped for.
