One-line verdict
This microwave air fryer brings 13 presets and a glass cooking dish to the weekday food treaty, provided you are careful about the MW101UK variant details.
Best for
Busy households that want microwave and air-fry presets in one appliance, plus a sizeable 5.2 L cooking dish for the rotating cast of leftovers.
Skip it if
Skip it if exact finish and regional model identifiers matter to you, because the supplied UK and US listings describe different MW101 variants.
The full picture
The Ninja CRISPi MW101UK is aimed squarely at the modern kitchen’s most exhausting diplomatic dispute: the microwave wants speed, the air fryer wants a tray, and the counter has already been annexed by the kettle. Ninja’s answer is one appliance described as both a microwave and an air fryer, with FusionCrisp technology in the product listing.
We think the appeal is unusually easy to understand. Instead of treating air frying as a mysterious bonus word bolted onto a microwave, the listed kit includes a removable crisper tray alongside a 5.2 L PFAS-free glass cooking dish. That does not establish any particular cooking result, but it does show that the two functions have been considered as parts of the package rather than left to a settings menu and a prayer.
The MW101UK also brings 8 microwave presets and 5 air-fry presets. Presets can be a minor miracle or a row of buttons nobody touches after Tuesday; here, the split is at least clear about the appliance’s two assigned roles. It suits the household where reheating, cooking, and the eternal question of what to do with yesterday’s potatoes all converge at roughly 6:14 p.m.
There is one bit of catalogue housekeeping worth taking seriously. The supplied UK listing names a black MW101UKBK1, while the supplied US listing names a silver MW101. We would check the exact regional identifier before becoming emotionally attached to a particular finish; kitchen appliances are already demanding enough without a bureaucratic subplot.
The Irresistible
- It combines documented microwave and air-fryer functions in one Ninja CRISPi appliance, a genuinely useful pairing for a crowded kitchen counter.
- The supplied UK configuration includes a 5.2 L PFAS-free glass cooking dish and a removable crisper tray, so the package is built around more than microwave-only cookware.
The Clever Part
- Eight microwave presets and five air-fry presets provide distinct documented preset groups for the appliance’s two functions.
- The removable crisper tray is included, which makes storage and handling less like a permanent commitment to one oddly shaped kitchen part.
The Fine Print
- FusionCrisp is named in the listing, but the supplied evidence does not explain how it works or establish a specific cooking outcome.
The Reality Check
- The exact supplied listings differ by market: the UK product is black MW101UKBK1, while the US listing is silver MW101, so buyers need to verify the regional model rather than assuming the names are interchangeable.
