Ninja Crispi Glass Air Fryer vs Typhur Dome 2

The Ninja Crispi's glass chamber is the only air fryer cooking surface that is completely inert — no coatings, no chemicals, nothing to flake or degrade over years of use. The Typhur Dome 2 uses PFAS-free ceramic nonstick, which is a meaningful upgrade over old Teflon, but it's still a coating that will eventually wear. If you're buying an air fryer specifically to get away from nonstick chemistry entirely, the Crispi is the only answer — and WIRED literally named it the best Teflon-free air fryer for exactly this reason.

Dual top-and-bottom burners aren't a gimmick — they're why the Dome 2 crisps 24 wings in 14 minutes while most air fryers take 22-25. No preheating required either, so that time gap is real from the moment you press start. For weeknight cooking, that's the difference between dinner at 6:15 and dinner at 6:30, which sounds small until you're doing it five nights a week.

At its cheapest, the Typhur Dome 2 costs twice as much as the Ninja Crispi. At its most expensive, it costs nearly three times as much. That delta buys you a stand mixer, an Instant Pot, or a very good chef's knife. The Dome's performance advantage is real, but it has to be real enough to justify that gap — and for most households cooking two to four servings at a time, it simply isn't.

The Ninja Crispi is designed to move — the glass chamber doubles as a storage container, and the whole unit is light enough to pull out, use, and put away. The Typhur Dome 2 weighs 20 pounds and spans nearly 20 inches wide. Once it's on your counter, it lives there. That's fine if you have the space and want a permanent cooking station, but if your kitchen is small or you share counter space with a partner, the Dome will create friction every single day.
