TikTok hype isn't always a great indicator of a good product, but the viral Ninja Crispi managed to win over Mashable's Samantha Mangino. Fresh off testing a huge batch of Ninja kitchen appliances, she named it her favorite air fryer in the lineup.

"With its portable design, [the Crispi] stores nicely and can be used on the go. Plus, it actually works," Mangino writes. It passed both of her trials with ease, turning tofu cubes into "crunchy perfection" and crisping frozen French fries quickly while keeping them fluffy-soft inside.

The Crispi is a good buy at its usual price of $179.95, but right now it's on sale for less. Amazon, Best Buy, Kohl's, and Ninja's website all have it marked down to $159.95, or $20 off, which is its biggest discount to date. Take your pick from three colors: Stone, Sage Green, or Cyberspace (which Amazon calls Navy and Best Buy calls Gray — go figure). Note that Kohl's throws in $30 worth of Kohl's Cash that you can put toward a future purchase from June 16 to 22.

Mangino admits that she was initially "skeptical" of the Crispi because of its design, which involves a glass basket and an air-frying lid with some controls on it. But beyond heating food well, it also doubles as storage for leftovers — super convenient. "The Ninja Crispi ... allows you to meal prep and store food directly into glass baskets, where you will then reheat it," Mangino writes. "The storage containers are all dishwasher safe, a rare trait in air fryer baskets."

Mangino's main gripe with the Crispi is that it has a limited number of settings compared to other air fryers (i.e., you can't change its temperature). That said, she thinks it's suited for "a variety of foods" as-is. Read her full writeup for more takeaways.
