Kitchen appliance that delivers oven-style crisping in a compact footprint, ideal for small homes and student houses. Home cooks gain quick, countertop meals without a full oven, and leftovers stay ready to go. How well does the Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer match full-size results in a smaller package?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Crisping Performance: 1700W Power Pod with heated-air cooking and non-stick crisper plates delivers even, oven-like browning and a re-crisp function for leftovers.
- • Best for: Small households, student kitchens and anyone who needs portable countertop cooking with quick cleanup and direct-to-table glass bowls.
- • Not ideal for: Weekly meal-preppers who batch-cook large quantities; the 3.8-litre maximum means multiple back-to-back cycles, extending total cooking time and changing crisping consistency between batches.
A compact, portable air fryer system that uses a 1700W Power Pod and two removable glass containers. Designed for flexible portioning and easy cleanup, with lids for storing leftovers.
Recrisp and Serve – Heated air and crisper plates deliver oven-style texture
The 1700W Power Pod forces hot air around the food and pairs with non-stick crisper plates so surfaces brown evenly and regain crunch when reheated. User scenario: a midweek roast comes out with a crisp skin and tender interior without preheating a full oven.
Serve food straight from the glass bowl using the included lids for leftovers, with the trade-off that glass bowls are heavier to handle when hot compared with lightweight metal baskets.
Flexible Portions – Swappable 3.8L and 1.4L containers handle singles to family plates
Two removable glass containers, 3.8 litres and 1.4 litres, let cooks switch between a whole 1.2kg chicken with veg and smaller side portions. A user preparing sides and mains can run the small bowl while the large one rests between cycles.
Cook for one or feed a few without bulky equipment, though preparing larger batch meals requires extra cycles and more hands-on timing.
Portable Countertop Cooking – Compact footprint and simple cleanup for tight spaces
Measured at 34.5 x 30.4 x 34 cm, standing about the height of a standard cereal box with a shoebox footprint, the unit fits on small countertops and uses a UK plug Power Pod. Thermal-shock resistant glass containers clean in the dishwasher for low-maintenance use.
Move the unit between kitchen, student flat or holiday let easily, while noting the 1700W draw requires a proper mains socket rather than thin extension leads for safe operation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I store food straight in the glass bowls with the lids?
A: Included lids let you cover and store leftovers directly in the bowls, but allow food to cool slightly before sealing to avoid trapped steam and condensation.
Q: Are the glass containers safe against sudden temperature changes?
A: The bowls are thermal-shock resistant, designed to withstand rapid temperature shifts; for best longevity, avoid transferring a bowl straight from the freezer into the hot cooker.
