- Expensive at $340-$499
- Large footprint at nearly 20" wide — takes up significant counter space

Our take
If you're buying one air fryer in 2026, get the Ninja Crispi. The glass chamber solves every complaint people have about air fryers — chemical coatings, hard-to-clean baskets, not seeing your food — and the cooking performance is top-tier.
The Typhur Dome 2 is what happens when someone builds an air fryer without compromise. It's expensive and takes up counter space, but it out-air-fryers every other air fryer — if performance is your priority, nothing else comes close.
