Quick verdict
The Ninja Crispi Pro (model AS101ANZ) is the supersized follow-up to 2025’s hit Ninja Crispi — a 2050W, 6-in-1 glass air fryer that ditches the traditional drawer for clear CleanCrisp glassware you cook, serve and store in. It’s $399 in Australia, and you get a modular base that accepts 2.3L, 3.8L and 5.7L glass containers (the two biggest ship in the box), six cooking functions including Recrisp and Dehydrate, and PFAS-free glass you can see through while it cooks. Where the original Crispi was built for portability, the Pro is a proper countertop machine for families — big enough to roast a 3.4kg chicken or feed up to 10 people. The trade-off is space: those glass containers have to live somewhere, and Australian reviewers have called the modular base a touch fiddly. For families who hate drawer-style air fryers, it’s a genuinely different — and better — way to air fry.
Ninja Crispi Pro: Australian price and where to buy cheapest
Here’s the current price picture (checked 8 October 2026):
$399 — David Jones — Rose Quartz, listed at the $399 RRP.
$399 — Harvey Norman — the Crispi Pro XL, in stock at RRP.
The Crispi Pro arrived in Australia in June 2026 with an AU$399 RRP, and Australian retailers are currently holding it there — $399 is the consistent national price. It comes in four colours: Rose Quartz, Bone, Ash Grey and Cyberspace (dark grey). Confirm the price before you buy, since retailers occasionally discount the range.
Ninja Crispi Pro: key features and specs
The headline change is the power and the platform. The Crispi Pro runs a 2050W heating system — a jump from the original Crispi’s 1700W — built around a modular base that accepts three sizes of Ninja’s CleanCrisp glass containers: 2.3L, 3.8L and 5.7L. The 5.7L and 2.3L containers ship in the box, with the middle 3.8L size sold separately. Each container comes with a crisper plate and a leakproof snap-lock storage lid.
The glassware is the whole point. The thermal shock-resistant glass means you can move food straight from the freezer to the fryer, and because the containers are separate from the cooking mechanism, they double as serving dishes and fridge storage. Everything except the base is dishwasher-safe. The glass is PFAS-free — a genuine selling point for anyone who’s been eyeing their air fryer’s peeling non-stick coating — and because it’s transparent, you can actually watch your food cook.
Six cooking functions are on board: Max Crisp, Air Fry, Bake/Prove, Roast, Recrisp and Dehydrate, with precision digital temperature controls instead of the original’s dial. The Pro drops the original’s Keep Warm mode in favour of Max Crisp, which pushes the heat higher for a faster, crunchier finish. Recrisp is the clever one: it revives day-old chips and fried leftovers from the fridge in minutes.
On capacity, the numbers are generous. Ninja says the 5.7L container can roast a whole 3.4kg chicken and feed up to 10 people — more than most dual-basket drawer air fryers, which top out around 4–4.5L. The whole system is designed for the prep-cook-serve-store-recrisp loop in a single container, so there’s less washing up than a traditional air fryer.
What the Crispi Pro does differently
The original Ninja Crispi (launched late 2025) was a portable system: a small PowerPod heating unit you could carry, designed for compact living and smaller meals, topping out at 3.8L and a 1.2kg chicken with four functions (Air Fry, Roast, Recrisp, Keep Warm).
The Crispi Pro flips the design philosophy. It’s unashamedly a countertop appliance, built to stay put and scaled for families and entertaining. The differences that matter:
More power. 2050W versus the original’s 1700W — the Pro has the headroom to drive that bigger 5.7L container.
More capacity. 5.7L versus 3.8L max. A 3.4kg chicken goes in comfortably; feeds up to 10.
More functions. Six (Max Crisp, Air Fry, Bake/Prove, Roast, Recrisp, Dehydrate) versus four. Bake/Prove and Dehydrate are the additions you’ll actually use; Max Crisp replaces Keep Warm for crunchier finishes.
Precision digital temperature control, replacing the simpler controls of the original, so you can dial in exact temps for baking and dehydrating.
What hasn’t changed is the glass system itself — and that’s the point. The Pro is the same idea, supersized. If you already own the original Crispi, the upgrade question is simple: do you need the bigger container and the extra functions? If you don’t cook for crowds, the original remains the more compact, more portable pick.
How it compares to the competition at Australian prices
At $399, the Crispi Pro sits in the busy middle of Australia’s air fryer market — and its main rival is, frankly, the original Ninja Crispi, which sells for less and suits smaller households and compact kitchens. Buy the Pro for family-sized cooking; buy the original if you value portability and a smaller footprint.
Against traditional drawer air fryers, the Crispi Pro’s pitch is the glassware. The Philips 5000 Series 7.2L Steam Airfryer at $349 is a conventional dual-basket-style steam air fryer — bigger basket capacity, no glass, no see-through cooking. Read our Philips 5000 Series first look for the full breakdown. The Tefal Dual Easy Fry Flex 9L at $249 undercuts the Crispi Pro by $150 with a huge drawer capacity, but it’s a traditional basket system — plastic drawers, no PFAS-free glass, no cook-serve-store loop. See our Tefal Dual Easy Fry Flex first look if raw capacity per dollar is your priority.
The honest comparison: drawer air fryers still win on set-and-forget simplicity and compact storage. The Crispi Pro wins if you care about non-toxic glass, watching your food cook, and cooking-serving-storing in one container. Australian reviewers who’ve lived with it rate the cooking performance highly — quick, effective, easy to clean — while flagging the downsides: it takes up real bench space, the modular base can feel fiddly, and $399 is fairly pricey for the category.
Who should buy it
Buy the Ninja Crispi Pro if: you cook for a family or entertain regularly — the 5.7L container and 3.4kg chicken capacity are the reason it exists; you’re wary of non-stick coatings and want PFAS-free glass you can see through; you love leftovers and the Recrisp function sounds like it was made for you; or you hate transferring food between dishes and want one container for prep, cooking, serving and storage.
Think twice if: bench and cupboard space are tight — three glass containers plus the base need a home; you already own the original Crispi and don’t cook for crowds; you want the absolute cheapest path to air-fried chips (a $249 Tefal does that); or you need Keep Warm, which the Pro dropped in favour of Max Crisp. And if your kitchen obsession runs to coffee instead, our Ninja AutoBarista Pro first look covers the brand’s $1,199.99 bean-to-cup machine.
Final verdict
The Ninja Crispi Pro is the air fryer for people who were never sold on drawer-style air fryers. At $399, you get a 2050W cooking system with 5.7L of glass cooking space, six genuinely useful functions, PFAS-free containers that go from freezer to fryer to table to dishwasher, and the best leftover-reviving trick in the category. The compromises are real but honest: it needs bench space, the modular base takes some getting used to, and it’s $50–150 more than conventional rivals. For families and entertainers who cook big and hate plastic, it’s the most interesting air fryer launch of the year in Australia — and an easy recommendation. For small households, the original Crispi remains the smarter, cheaper pick.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Ninja Crispi Pro in Australia?
The Australian RRP is $399. As of 8 October 2026, David Jones and Harvey Norman both list it at $399 — the consistent national price. It arrived in Australia in June 2026 in four colours: Rose Quartz, Bone, Ash Grey and Cyberspace.
What is the difference between the Ninja Crispi and the Crispi Pro?
The Crispi Pro is bigger and more powerful: 2050W (up from 1700W), a 5.7L max container (up from 3.8L), and six cooking functions (Max Crisp, Air Fry, Bake/Prove, Roast, Recrisp, Dehydrate) versus the original’s four. The Pro is a stay-put countertop machine, while the original Crispi was designed as a portable system.
Is the Ninja Crispi Pro glassware really PFAS-free and dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The CleanCrisp glass containers are PFAS-free and thermal shock-resistant, so they can go from the freezer straight into the fryer. The glassware, crisper plates and lids are dishwasher-safe; only the heating base needs to be kept out of the water.
What size chicken can the Ninja Crispi Pro roast?
Ninja says the 5.7L glass container can roast a whole 3.4kg chicken — roughly double the original Crispi’s 1.2kg limit — and feed up to 10 people. That’s larger than most dual-basket drawer air fryers, which typically top out around 4–4.5L of cooking space.
Can you store food in the Ninja Crispi Pro containers?
Yes — that’s the system’s signature trick. The 2.3L and 5.7L glass containers come with leakproof snap-lock lids, so you can prep, cook, serve, store in the fridge and reheat or Recrisp leftovers all in the same container, with no transfer to other dishes.
