In-Depth Review
The Speed Demon If you love frozen nuggets, fries, or breaded chicken, standard air fryers often leave them slightly soggy. The Ninja Max XL changes that by pushing temperatures to 240°C (Max Crisp Mode)—significantly hotter than the standard 200°C limit. This ensures results that rival deep frying without the oil, cooking frozen foods up to 50% faster than fan ovens.
The Build: It uses a ceramic-coated basket (grey interior), which is generally more durable and safer than the standard black Teflon coatings found on budget models.
Quiet Power: Despite the high speed, UAE reviewers praise its quiet operation, noting it doesn't make excessive noise or generate heavy smells while cooking.
Why we picked this
"If your main priority is crunch, this is the winner. The 240°C "Max Crisp" mode handles frozen foods (nuggets, fries) better than any other model on this list."
