The Ninja AF161 Max XL is a definitive powerhouse that cuts standard frozen food cook times by nearly a third using a 1750-watt heating element and 450-degree air. In our testing, we found you will burn your first batch of fries if you follow the package directions. The Max Crisp setting salvaged day-old takeout better than any standard 400-degree model we tested, but the circular 5.5-quart basket requires constant shaking to cook a full bag of wings evenly. If you value raw speed over smart connectivity, this unit earns its footprint.
