I have owned a Ninja air fryer for quite a while and it has served me well, though it is clearly nearing the end of its life. When I saw this casserole style 6 quart air fryer with a full glass bowl, I was immediately curious. After using it for a bit, I can say it feels like a much better upgrade.
The first thing that stood out is the glass cooking container. Being able to see the food while it cooks is surprisingly useful. Instead of opening the fryer to check progress, you can watch the browning happen in real time. The drawer style design is another feature I quickly appreciated. You slide the glass dish out rather than lifting a hot lid, which feels safer and more convenient during cooking.
The wide casserole style layout also makes a difference. Food spreads out instead of stacking deep in a basket, which helps everything cook more evenly.
Pros
+ 6 quart capacity with a wide casserole style design that allows food to spread out for more even cooking
+ 100 percent non toxic materials with borosilicate glass and stainless steel, no PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA coatings
+ Full glass cooking bowl with interior light so you can watch food as it cooks
+ Drawer style access makes it easy to check food without lifting a hot top
+ 12 preset programs including steak, fish, fries, wings, vegetables, bake, and reheat
+ Rapid hot air circulation that produces crispy food with far less oil than deep frying
+ Cook, serve, and store in the same glass dish with the included storage lid
+ Dishwasher safe glass and stainless parts make cleanup simple
+ Includes useful accessories like a stainless basket, silicone mitts, and a trivet
Cons
- Takes up more counter space than my previous Ninja air fryer
- It's pretty heavy at 20 pounds
- Price is higher than many air fryers
Who it's ideal for
This air fryer makes a lot of sense for families or anyone cooking larger batches. The 6 quart capacity easily handles meals for around four to six people. It is also great for people trying to avoid non stick coatings and "forever chemicals" since the food contact surfaces are glass and stainless steel.
If your kitchen counter space is tight or you are looking for the lowest cost air fryer available, there are smaller and cheaper options out there.
My final thoughts
I really like the simplicity of this air fryer and the visibility while cooking. Watching food crisp up through the glass bowl feels oddly satisfying, and not having coated surfaces gives some peace of mind.
Yes, it costs more and it takes up a bit more room on the counter. Still, the design, safer materials, and large cooking area make it feel worth the extra money. Overall, I am very happy with it and it has already replaced my old air fryer as the one I reach for every day.
