The Glass Air Fryer I Can't Stop Recommending Is Only $138 for Cyber Monday

I've tested dozens of air fryers. Ninja's 100% nontoxic Crispi is my all-time favorite, and it's $42 cheaper on Cyber Monday.

This is the best air fryer deal we've seen on Cyber Monday.

 CNET/Ninja

Ninja's Crispi Glass Air Fryer has been the No. 1 air fryer on our list for nearly a year. Even the newer, more modular Crispi Pro -- launched last month -- couldn't unseat the original. 

The Crispi's secret weapon is its glass cooking chambers, which make it easy to get squeaky clean and ensure everything your food comes in contact with is nontoxic. It's also easily stored away in a cupboard or drawer, as the entire unit breaks down into smaller parts -- a feature unique to this model.

It's typically $180 and occasionally drops down to $160. Currently, it's as affordable as we've seen it, priced -- just $138 in a lavender (save $42) with two large cooking chambers when purchased directly from Ninja. The same air fryer, in sandy stone color, is on sale at Amazon for $140.

The Ninja Crispi is a versatile and reliable as any air fryer we've tested. It's down to $138 right now for Cyber Monday.

I won't bore you with all the reasons I love the Ninja Crispi; you can read about them in this full review. You can also conduct a side-by-side comparison with our other top air fryers in our tested list of the best air fryers for 2025.

I can say that I've been using this air fryer for over a year and have no interest in switching to another. It's got power aplenty and the two glass cooking chambers double as food storage containers with tight-fitting lids to save leftover eats,

We love the way the original Crispi breaks down for easy storage.

It also fits nicely in the dishwasher, and the glass gets really clean -- something I can't say about previous air fryers I've used with nonstick baskets that tend to accumulate a thin layer of gunk over time. I like this one even more than the newer, larger (and more expensive) Ninja Crispi Pro, which launched just a month ago.

Why this deal matters

It's our favorite air fryer and it rarely drops below $160. The $137 Cyber Monday price is one of the best we've seen on the air fryer since it launched last year.
