CNET's #1 overall pick for 2026 — it preheated faster than every competitor and placed first or second in nearly every test. The flip-up hinge design stores it in just 7 inches of wall clearance, making it the only serious option for tight kitchens.
For small kitchens, this is the no-brainer. The flip-up design is genuinely clever, the air fryer function is best-in-class, and the speed is unmatched. Just know the low ceiling limits what you can cook inside.
“The Ninja preheated the fastest (by far) and kept its heat consistent throughout. The air fryer function was also best in show and it broiled a salmon filet nicely.”
