Bought the Ninja Crispi, found the lid not heavy at all, and liked it so much they bought a second one so meat and meat-free food can cook separately; after trying many air fryers it is the easiest to clean by far.

Glass bowls go in the dishwasher and double as storage, but air frying is weaker for some.

Says the Ninja Crispi is a brilliant storage system and very easy to clean, but the actual air frying does not crisp food nearly as well as other air fryers.
Disappointed in the EU version: weak, can't crisp well without overcooking, but good for ease of use, cleaning and small form factor.
Likes the small footprint and finds it very easy to clean and use, getting the same results as a larger $400 model; the glass container shows what's cooking.
Has had it almost a year and loves it: no power issues, frozen fries, veggies and chicken all cook well, and it's easy to clean and a perfect size for two.
Has used it for a year as a single person; super easy to clean and the cooking container doubles as a bowl, though only the handles are safe to touch.
Tested the EU Crispi FN101 borrowed from their mum: the easiest air fryer to clean and very easy to use, but weak, needing 5-8 extra minutes and never crisping frozen wedges well.
Stopped using their bigger, more powerful Ninja after buying the portable Crispi from Costco because it's so easy to clean, and it's better for veggies since they can watch them.
Had the Crispi about a year and loves it; the glass has not shattered, it cleans easily after every meal and cooks better than their previous Gourmia.
Got the Crispi for Christmas as a first air fryer and loves it after about a dozen cooks, valuing the see-through bowls and dishwasher-safe parts, though the lid sensor on the large bowl sometimes needs reseating.
Is happy with the Crispi style and finds it easier to clean than their previous pull-out basket air fryer.
Uses the Ninja Crispi with its heating element in the head unit; the glass dish, crisping tray and lid all go in the dishwasher, the head unit grill stays free of grease when wiped after each use, and nothing holds food smells the way their first air fryer did.
Lives alone and uses the portable Ninja Crispi every day; the glass bowls are easy to clean, though it doesn't bake well.
Got the Ninja Crispi a few weeks ago and uses it almost every time they cook at home, loving that the glass bowl and divider go in the dishwasher.
After their Ninja AF160 died, they tried the Crispi and say cleaning is far easier with more room to cook, though the heavy glass has burned their knuckles.
Calls the Ninja Crispi a great air fryer: small but easy to clean and use.
Owns it and says it is super easy to use and clean with not too many parts.
Owns the Crispi and finds it very easy to wash; glass wipes clean and burnt bits slide off the nonstick tray, though they suggest the Pro for a whole chicken.
Replaced a Ninja DualZone with the Crispi: misses precise temperature control (modes use 25-degree ranges), finds the glass bowls hard to stack, and found dehydrating too slow, but loves the glass.
Loves their Crispi for versatility, cooking and storing in one non-toxic container, and easy cleaning; dishwasher placement at an angle dries the seam.
Finds the Ninja Crispi great for reheating and very easy to clean.
Loves the Ninja Crispi, cooking, serving and refrigerating in the three glass sizes; seeing food cook is great and cleanup is easy.
Likes the Ninja Crispi for easy cleanup, no preheat, and lids for storing leftovers in the fridge.
Had great luck with it; easy to peek at the food and nothing sticks to the glass, so it cleans easier than metal.
Loves it; throwing the whole tub in the dishwasher is amazing, but notes the European version is weaker.
Uses it twice a day at work and calls it amazing, easy to clean and store.
Lives alone, has had the Crispi for six months as a first air fryer, uses it all the time, and loves the easy cleanup.
Has a Crispi, finds it great, dishwasher-safe after use and easier to clean than a dual basket, and enough space as a single person.
Just bought the Crispi (glass) air fryer and really loves the ease of cleaning it offers.
Chose the regular Crispi over the Pro because the portable unit is easier to clean than a tucked-away heating element.
