The Ninja Crispi is at its lowest-ever price – it's ‘the future of air frying'
Air fryer innovations don't come around very often. In the end, even the best air fryers are really glorified convection ovens; there's not that much you can do to a hot filament and a fan. However, Ninja did just that with the crispi air fryer. This unique product shrinks the usual body of an air fryer to a small detachable heating lid (known as the PowerPod) that sits on top of a heatproof bowl. The idea is that you can meal prep straight into a glass bowl, perfect for slipping into your bag and taking it to work. It's so compact that you could even take the whole air fryer to the office, though your colleagues may not appreciate you air frying salmon next to them. Best of all, we loved it when we put it to the test. This air fryer isn't just good in theory, but a rare appliance that can actually improve your food prep. Right now, there's £60 off the air fryer in the Ninja summer sale, the lowest price we've seen since its launch earlier this year. It's £5 cheaper than it was during the last Amazon Prime Day sale. If you want to snap it up, you'll need to use the discount code below at checkout. Keep in mind, however, that as this is a seasonal promotion, it isn't likely to be around for long. The discount code can also be used on some of our favourite kitchen and outdoor appliances, including the Ninja creami ice cream maker, Ninja double stack XL air fryer, Ninja woodfire outdoor pizza oven and more. The Ninja crispi got a rare seal of approval from our discerning senior tech critic, Alex Lee. In his full review of the Ninja crispi, Alex found that this air fryer makes great food. He could make 'golden and crispy chips without needing to shake them' and 'a seasoned chicken breast dish came out tender and juicy'. The other functions are mostly excellent, too. While the roast function is fine, the re-crisp mode revitalised leftover pizza, resulting in 'a crispy base and melty cheese, rather than turning into a sad, chewy mess'. One of the reasons this air fryer cooks so well is that it uses food-safe glass bowls. It's a simple feature, but the glass means 'you can actually watch your food as it cooks and know exactly when your chips are crisped.' It's totally safe, too. Alex noted that 'the glass containers also have heat-resistant feet, so there's no risk of scorching your lovely countertops'. These also stack neatly together, so form 'one tidy, nestable unit'. But the best feature is this air fryer's convenience, especially if you do a lot of batch cooking. Alex says: 'Once your food is cooked, you simply pull off the PowerPod lid, then pop on a storage lid when you're ready to store your food in the fridge,' which saves you from faffing around with tinfoil or air fryer liners. It's easy to store, and unlike other air fryers, it won't dominate your countertops. Now with more than 30 per cent off with the summer sale discount code, it's rare to see the air fryer drop this low. The last time we saw a big reduction was during Amazon Prime Day, when it fell to £124, but this is an even better offer that can't be found elsewhere.

Ninja CRISPi air fryer review: a big win for my small kitchen
I'VE used air fryers for years, and wouldn't go without one for quick, easy meals. However, they can take up a lot of countertop real estate, which is something that's in short supply in my small kitchen. I've done a Ninja CRISPi air fryer review to see if the uniquely compact model could solve my problem, and more broadly, find out whether a portable air fryer is something the world actually needs. 5 Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass The new Ninja CRISPi is just one model in Ninja's wide range of air fryers, but it also has the most unique features. It launched in the UK just this year, hitting the shops (and online shelves) in March 2025. Like all air fryers, it promises to cook food quicker than an oven, and as the name suggests, it produces crisp food, replicating a fried effect but without lots of oil. It's described as a portable cooking system because the actual cooking mechanism is housed within the compact "PowerPod" lid, which snaps onto the top of one of two glass dishes. One glass container is 1.4L and the other is 3.8L. Once cooked, the food can immediately be served or stored in the fridge without decanting into another dish. There are three colours to choose from (blue, stone and sage green), and in classic Ninja style, they're aesthetically pleasing and buck air fryers' reputation for being big, bulky and ugly. Pros Cons The capacity isn't huge; it's suitable for two to three people max if you're cooking full meals The temperatures are pre-set and can't be changed Overall rating: 8/10 How I tested the Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer As The Sun's Home and Garden eCommerce writer, I'm no stranger to testing out kitchen gadgets. I've also owned an air fryer for about five years now, so I know what to look out for when choosing a new one. I tried cooking a few different types of food with the Ninja CRISPi, focusing on what I'd use an air fryer for day-to-day. The smaller container was ideal for snacks, starters or canapés, while the larger container was great for cooking a full meal for two or meat for six or seven people. How much does the Ninja CRISPi cost? At full price, the air fryer costs £179.99, but it's currently on sale for £119.99with the code NINJA20. Within the Ninja range, it's priced somewhere in the middle. Who is it best for? Those with small kitchens who want a compact air fryer that's easily cleaned and packed away. What I loved: The convenience of having the glass containers eliminated the need to put leftovers into Tupperware after cooking. I also loved its clever design, which is far more sleek and compact than other air fryers. What I didn't: The containers aren't big enough to fit more than two complete meal portions (if you were cooking meat, potatoes and veg in one go). Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, £179.99 £119.99 with code NINJA20 - buy here Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer review: The Nitty Gritty First impressions 5 Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, £179.99 £119.99 with code NINJA20 When I opened the box (which was larger than I expected), I was pleased to see how compact the CRISPi's components were. It's easy to assemble with no fiddly parts to worry about, so it would be pretty straightforward for anyone to get going. To set it up, all I had to do was drop the crisper plate inside of one of the glass containers (there's a tray to fit each size), place my food inside, pop the PowerPod on top and plug it in. 5 When using the larger container, you'll need to secure the adaptor onto the PowerPod to make it fit. Then I selected the cooking mode I wanted from the display at the top by clicking the 'mode' button. There are four to choose from: Air Fry, Roast, Keep Warm and Recrisp. Finally, I selected the time I wanted. Temperatures are pre-selected for each setting, meaning you can't change them, which is slightly annoying. Does it deliver? 5 Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer, £179.99 £119.99 with code NINJA20 BUY HERE I decided to test out cooking chicken thighs, something I always rely on an air fryer for. They took 20 minutes to cook on the Air Fry setting, and came out with perfectly crisp skin and juicy meat; an immediate tick from me. They took 20 minutes to cook on the Air Fry setting, and came out with perfectly crispy skin and juicy meat; an immediate tick from me. I cooked six thighs in the large glass container, but there was still space remaining, so you could probably fit eight in there — enough for a family of four, if you cook your other components separately. I liked how you could see the food cooking and keep an eye on it throughout. There is also the small container, which is handy for cooking snacks and quick bites — I tried mozzarella dippers and they were crispy and oozy after just seven minutes. 5 Unfortunately, though, because there's only one PowerPod, you wouldn't be able to use both sizes simultaneously. If you were looking to cook an entire meal (for example chicken, potatoes and veg), you're probably going to be limited to two or three portions because the food needs to be spread out as a single layer. That means that the air fryer is best suited to couples and small families. Once the food is cooked, you simply remove the PowerPod, and you can wash the glass container or keep it in the fridge. I popped mine in the dishwasher and it came out perfectly clean. The containers can also be used straight for serving to the table, minimising washing up. You could use the smaller 1.4L container for storing lunch or leftovers, although one downside is that the glass containers are attached to the handles and base, making them bulky — however, they are okay to go in the microwave. The Ninja CRISPi is easy to use and easy to clean, but the biggest selling point is the compact storage. It dismantles into its separate components in seconds, which makes it ideal for storing, and you could even fit it completely out of sight in a cupboard. The majority of air fryers are large, square and will take up a considerable amount of counter space, so if you've put off buying an air fryer for that reason, this could be the one for you. How much is the Ninja CRISPi? At the time of testing, the Ninja CRISPi air fryer retails for £119.99, with a £60 discount available on Ninja's website with the code NINJA20. There are both cheaper and more costly options, but the Ninja CRISPi is unique in its format, so there aren't many other brands that rival it. It's also definitely a useful gadget that genuinely helps save time with cooking, as opposed to a novelty impulse buy. Where to buy the Ninja CRISPi As well as Ninja's own website, the air fryer can be found at several other major retailers. Ninja CRISPi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer alternatives While I'd recommend the Ninja CRISPi for its unique features, there are other air fryers to consider. For a budget option with a similar idea to Ninja's, the Cookworks Halogen 15L Air Fryer is available to buy at Argos, and is reduced to just £32. Or, for a larger capacity, the Lakeland Dual Basket Air Fryer costs £99.99 and has two drawers, so food can cook separately and with different cooking times. Ninja also has the space-saving Double Stack 2-Drawer Air Fryer reduced from £229.99 to £199.99, with the benefits of having two drawers, but a stacked design that minimises counter space.

Is the Ninja Crispi the ultimate cooking gadget? I put it to the test
The Ninja Crispi is compact, powerful and TikTok-approved. It's making waves online as the ultimate kitchen gadget, with social media users praising it as the ideal "solution" for any family. The $200 all-in-one device promises big flavour and quick meals in a compact, countertop-friendly design. But is it truly a game-changer? I put it to the test to see if it actually delivers on all the buzz. The Ninja Crispi is a compact, 4-in-1 air fryer system with thermal shock-resistant glass containers, leak-proof lids and dishwasher-safe parts. The Ninja Crispi is described as a compact, all-in-one cooking system that conveniently packs the power of a full-sized air fryer into a handheld, portable design. With 4-in-1 functionality — Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry and Recrisp — you can whip up everything from a personal meal to a full four-pound chicken with veggies for the family. Ninja Crispi PowerPod: A countertop gadget offering the power of a full-sized, 1500-watt air fryer in the palm of your hand. Big Batch 4-Quart Container: Made with TempWare glassware. Small Batch 6-Cup Container: Made with TempWare glassware Adapter: The adapter ensures the Crispi PowerPod can be used on the larger 4-quart container. Storage lids This thoughtfully-designed system also features smart details like heat-safe fixed feet. Additionally, it disassembles neatly to facilitate easy storage. To make cleaning quick and easy, most parts are also dishwasher-safe. I love devices that make cooking, reheating and baking quick and easy, so I was excited to review the Ninja Crispi. As I unboxed the gadget, I was immediately impressed. The design is compact, sleek and surprisingly lightweight. Everything from the PowerPod to the TempWare borosilicate glass containers came neatly packed and thoughtfully organized. It was simple and easy to put together, and within minutes, I was ready to start cooking. $200 at Amazon For the first part of my meal, I decided to try the Air Fryer mode to cook two chicken breasts. I seasoned the breasts and placed them onto the large crisper plate inside the big batch 4-quart container. Then, I attached the PowerPod with the adapter, selected the Air Fry mode and pressed start. It was super simple. I liked being able to watch the food cook right in front of me, thanks to the glass container. This made it easy to check on it and adjust the timing if needed. Once the chicken was fully cooked, I removed the PowerPod and adapter to reveal my meal. Since the chicken was cooked in a glass container with heat-safe fixed feet, I was able to easily transport it from the counter to the table and serve it straight from the dish. Then, I decided to try the Recrisp option to reheat some leftover pizza in the small-batch 6-cup container on the small crisper plate. This container size does not require the use of the adapter. $200 at Amazon Within minutes, my pizza was crispy and ready to go! In the end, my meal was cooked quickly and easily — and in far less time than I imagined. From prep work to cooking, the entire process took less than 25 minutes. Cleanup was also super simple. I served the food directly from the glass containers, and afterward, just popped most of it into the dishwasher. The containers, crisper plates, adapter and lids are all dishwasher safe, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. Compact design: Conveniently packs the power of a full-size air fryer into a handheld unit. Versatile cooking modes: The appliance features four cooking modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. Easy cleanup: The containers, crisper plates, adapter and lids are dishwasher-safe. Space-saving: The Ninja Crispi takes up very little space, and the containers nest together neatly for storage. Limited capacity: Not ideal for cooking large meals. Adapter use required: If you're switching between container sizes, this involves using an extra piece (can you explain a bit more about when you have to use the adapter?) Unable to change temperatures: The preset temperature ranges limit cooking flexibility, which may not be ideal for all recipes. The Ninja Crispi "works like a dream," according to shoppers. ⭐️ 4.6/5 stars 💬 200+ reviews 🏅"Works like a dream!" The Ninja Crispi is well-loved, with most Amazon reviewers praising the system's ease of use, size and performance. "Ninja has done it again with a great product," said one shopper. Another claimed it was a "great addition" to their kitchen, emphasizing how cleanup is a "breeze." However, some shoppers caution it's better-suited for smaller families, due to its cooking capacity. Some also worried it might be "unsafe" for younger users, adding that it felt "clunky" and they returned it. After putting the Ninja Crispi to the test, to me, this is a kitchen gadget that's worth the price tag — but with a few caveats It's easy to use, convenient and delivers on performance. I found it easy to maintain in terms of assembly and cleanup, plus, the containers and lids make it easy to store. I love how you can easily monitor the progress of your food with glass containers. However, some parts of the product can get hot during use, so just be sure to handle it with caution. Overall, the Ninja Crispi has earned a permanent spot on my counter — and in my weekly meal routine. However, it does offer limited capacity for cooking and has preset temperature ranges that may not work for all recipes. So if you're cooking for a larger family, or hoping to get really creative with your meals, this might not be for you.

The first day I wore this, I had many compliments on my skin, which is not the norm for me. I'm an occasional, noticeable breakout babe.

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan! She said, "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma.

It'll leave a slight color and gloss on your pout while also working overtime to moisturize and strengthen it at the same time. Promising review: "This stuff is magic! I have very dry, gray colored lips that need a lot of moisture and care. This isn't *just* a lip tint, it's a beautiful moisturizer and smells amazing! It allows for your skin to breathe, and it also sloughs away dead skin when you wipe it off. Color stays for a long time. I literally only buy this for my lips!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 12 shades and multipacks). 17.

They're polarized, stylish, and will be a fabulous sunny day companion. I purchased these after my prescription changed (yet again) so I couldn't properly see out of my sunglasses. I needed a pair that I could wear to protect my eyes while going on walks with my kids (during which I don't need my prescription glasses). They're perfect!

With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors." Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag!
