SharkNinja returns with a refined take on its glass air frying innovation, unveiling the new Ninja CRISPi PRO. Building upon the foundation of the original Ninja CRISPi released in 2024, this upgraded model transforms the countertop experience with expanded functionality, higher capacity, and precise digital control. Both models share the same sleek glass design that made the series iconic, but the PRO brings a level of refinement aimed at serious home cooks and design-minded users alike.
Evolution of the Glass Air Frying Concept
The original Ninja CRISPi broke ground by introducing the world’s first glass air frying system—a clear, non-toxic container that allowed users to monitor the cooking process in real time. Its CleanCrisp glassware design made traditional non-stick coatings look outdated, combining BPA-free construction with leak-resistant versatility. The 2024 model came in compact sizes suitable for quick meals and small households, delivering the healthy, oil-light results that redefined air frying.
The new CRISPi PRO extends this philosophy into full-scale meal territory. With a 6-quart XL glass container, users can now roast whole chickens or prepare family-sized portions while maintaining the same clarity and heat efficiency that defined the original. It’s an evolution that proves transparency and performance can coexist without compromise.
Design Language: From Utility to Aesthetic Statement
Where the first CRISPi emphasized function, the CRISPi PRO elevates the appliance into a kitchen centerpiece. Available in four contemporary finishes—Cyberspace, Rose Quartz, Bone, and Ash Grey—the unit pairs minimalist geometry with architectural proportions that complement modern interiors. Unlike bulky plastic fryers that disappear into cabinets, the PRO is intentionally designed to stay visible, blending technology and home décor in one sculpted frame.
Yet, practicality remains central. The PRO retains compatibility with the 2.5 QT and 4 QT containers from the earlier model, enabling a seamless workflow from prep to serving without swapping dishes. The result: less cleanup, fewer transfers, and an uninterrupted cooking flow that suits everyday use as much as weekend entertaining.
Performance and Functionality
The original CRISPi introduced 4-in-1 cooking modes—Air Fry, Bake, Roast, and Dehydrate—targeting simplicity and healthier eating. The CRISPi PRO adds two new modes, Max Crisp and Re-Crisp, expanding its culinary reach to six total functions. This flexibility allows users to revive leftovers to near-fresh texture or push crisping power to professional levels.
Paired with digital temperature precision, the PRO delivers restaurant-quality consistency. It moves from frozen to crispy in under 15 minutes, a leap forward from the manual settings of the previous generation. Internally, improved heat circulation and refined sensors ensure that every ingredient—from vegetables to proteins—achieves uniform texture and color without guesswork.
Smart Cooking for a Health-Conscious Era
Both CRISPi models target the growing audience seeking non-toxic cooking solutions. Glass, being inherently inert and chemical-free, eliminates the uncertainty surrounding coatings and synthetic surfaces. The PRO continues this legacy while addressing user feedback collected from over 715 million social-media impressions since the original launch.
The result is a thoughtful appliance that merges intelligence, health awareness, and design credibility. For those unwilling to choose between wellness and convenience, SharkNinja has shaped the CRISPi PRO into a symbol of balance—smart, sustainable, and stylish enough to earn a permanent spot on the countertop.
The Ninja CRISPi PRO Countertop Glass Air Fryer is available now at $279 on Target.com and from SharkNinja starting October 21.
