Did you have Ninja releasing a whole ass microwave on your 2026 product release bingo card?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you actually did. Nearly every countertop appliance you could think of has already gotten the Ninja treatment by now — since Ninja has already cemented itself as a household name for air fryers, it feels correct to finally extend those crisping skills to the humble microwave. Released July 16, the Ninja Crispi Microwave combines these two staple time-saving appliances into one 14-in-1 oven.
The Ninja Crispi Microwave's FusionCrisp technology aims to solve the texture issues that come with microwaving. Right after regular reheating concludes, automatic air frying kicks in to leave food crispy rather than soggy. With 1700 Watt power and up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit of circulated airflow, Ninja claims that you'll be able to take food from frozen to crispy in 10 minutes. That's up to 60 percent faster than a conventional oven, no agonizing preheating window required.
There's little that can't be cooked in the Crispi Microwave. There are eight microwave presets: popcorn, potato, defrost, beverage, soup, frozen dinner, frozen vegetables, and soften butter. The five air fry presets are similar to what you'd see in an air fryer toaster oven: max crisp and normal crisp, air roast, air bake, and air broil.
The Crispi Microwave features a PFAS-free glass cooking cavity with up to 40 percent more usable cooking space than your average turntable microwave. Instead of having to transfer fridge leftovers into an air fryer basket, the flatbed design can hold several containers or bowls. You're even getting a nice new baking dish out of it: a 5.5-quart PFAS-free glass basket that can hold an 8-pound chicken, four slices of pizza, or a 9 x 11 casserole. A stainless steel crisper basket is also included.
