Our verdict
Where it wins
- Simple four-program control panel with little to learn
- Basket, crisper plate and rack are dishwasher safe
- Dehydrate mode runs as low as 105 F, which many small fryers skip
Where it loses
- 4-quart basket is tight for more than two servings, Ninja says it fits about 2 lbs of fries
- Tops out at 400 F and has no broil setting
- No window, so checking food means pulling the basket out
The AF101 is a basic single-basket air fryer that has been on the market for years and does the core job without extras. It suits singles and couples who want set-and-go crisping and easy cleanup. Families or anyone cooking a main and a side at once should look at a larger dual-basket unit like the Ninja DZ201 instead.
