This article was updated on the 22nd of October to reflect that the Ninja Crispi is currently unavailable, though more stock is expected soon.
Ninja's first ever air fryer microwave has dipped back out of stock but it looks like more is on the way – you can sign up to receive a notification when more becomes available for £359.99 via the brand's website. After selling out completely shortly after it was first released, it's still proving very popular with shoppers.
If you're looking to save worktop space by combining the convenience one of the best air fryers with the reheating powers of a microwave then the Ninja Crispi will absolutely tick your boxes – it earned 4.5 stars in our recent Ninja Crispi air fryer microwave review after being put through its paces by our expert Home Economist Helen McCue.
Not every microwave air fryer combo is made equal – some of the early iterations we tried out here at Ideal Home were not worth the money spent on them – but the Crispi Ninja has finally cracked the code (and the John Lewis own brand take for £179.99 looks pretty good too). Here's a closer look at why this hybrid buy was a sellout success the first time around.
Available in black, silver and blue the Ninja Crispi 3-in-1 is currently sold out once again (just as we predicted!) but more stock should be landing very soon. Sign up via the Ninja website to be notified when it drops.
One of the things that impressed our reviewer Helen most about the Ninja Crispi was that it managed to harness the power of one of the best Ninja air fryers without compromising on microwave ability. In fact, it combines the best of both worlds with its FusionCrisp setting which allows you to use the two modes in conjunction to seriously speed up meal times. According to Helen, this hybrid setting is where this appliance 'really shines'.
Another thing that stands out about the Crispi is that it's easy to use with controls that don't take a learning curve to figure out. If you've used any Ninja appliance before you'll know that user experience is always prioritised over complication.
The news of the release of the Ninja Crispi was very well received here in the UK, where kitchens tend to be smaller and multi-functionality is always appreciated. Though this combi model isn't exactly small, it will allow you to condense two spots on your worktop into one, freeing up valuable space.
If you're a fan of a streamlined, tidy kitchen, there will be plenty of appeal in this fairly sleek product. Below, you can find some of the other microwave-air fryer alternatives that have a similarly positive user rating.

We haven't been able to get our hands on this air fryer to test it yet but it's incredibly well-rated by customers (with a 4.5 star review from 16 ratings at the time of writing). It's also a fraction of the price of Ninja's version.
This air fryer microwave combo was well regarded by our reviewer when she rounded up the best microwaves on the market. It's got the sleek good looks of a Sage coffee machine, too.
This pick from Panasonic also features a grill element, if you want to combine even more functionality into one buy.
If you're interested in investing in the Crispi to simplify your appliance set up then I'd recommend acting sooner rather than later – this is certain to be a second time sellout!
