One-line verdict
This microwave air fryer puts crisping and reheating in one black countertop box, provided your worktop can surrender 51.56 cm of frontage.
Best for
Busy households that want one countertop appliance for microwave jobs and air-fry cooking, with glassware that can also handle prep and storage.
Skip it if
Skip it if a 51.56 cm-wide countertop appliance would turn your kitchen into a game of appliance Tetris.
The full picture
The Ninja CRISPi MW101UKBK1 is aimed at the particular domestic irritation of choosing between speed and crispness. The ordinary microwave wins the lunchtime race, then produces leftovers with the structural morale of a damp flannel. An air fryer can help with the crisping, but now the worktop is hosting another large black object with ambitions.
Ninja’s answer is a countertop microwave and air fryer with 14 functions: eight microwave presets, five air-fry presets and FusionCrisp Technology. The named air-fry side covers Air Fry, Crisp, Air Roast, Air Bake and Air Grill. That makes it a plausible main kitchen appliance for people who want a less fragmented routine, rather than a novelty machine built around one very photogenic potato.
The more considered bit is the flatbed microwave design. There is no turntable, and Ninja specifies 20% more usable cooking space than a 33 cm diameter turntable. It comes with a 5.2-litre CleanCrisp glass cooking dish and removable crisper tray, so the appliance has the necessary supporting cast rather than asking you to discover, mid-hunger, that the useful bit was sold separately.
We think it earns a prominent place because the proposition is unusually coherent: microwave convenience, air-fry presets, dishwasher-safe glassware and a two-step child lock in one unit. The catch is refreshingly physical rather than mysterious. At 51.56 cm long, 44.6 cm wide and 35.81 cm high, this is for a countertop with actual spare territory, not the narrow strip between a toaster and a pile of unopened post.
The Irresistible
- It combines eight microwave presets with five air-fry presets, giving the MW101UKBK1 a genuinely broader brief than a standard reheating machine.
- The flatbed design removes the turntable and is specified with 20% more usable cooking space than a 33 cm diameter turntable.
- A 5.2-litre CleanCrisp glass cooking dish and removable crisper tray are included, rather than being treated as a later administrative surprise.
The Clever Part
- The included glassware is described as PFAS- and PTFE-free for prep, cooking and storage, which gives it a life beyond the appliance itself.
- Both the CleanCrisp glassware and crisper tray are dishwasher-safe; the washing-up pile need not acquire a specialist division.
- A two-step child lock prevents children from opening the microwave during use, useful in kitchens where buttons attract small, determined fingers.
- The manufacturer lists a two-year guarantee for the UK black model.
The Fine Print
- The black MW101UKBK1 measures 51.56 cm long, 44.6 cm wide and 35.81 cm high, so it requires a serious stretch of countertop rather than a polite corner.
The Reality Check
- This is a countertop-only appliance, and its footprint makes it a poor fit for genuinely tiny kitchens or already crowded worktops.
