Both the original Crispi (FN101) and the Crispi Pro (AS101) use Ninja’s palm-sized PowerPod clamped onto borosilicate glass containers instead of a metal basket, and Ninja states both sets of glass containers are free of PFAS and PTFE. The Pro’s difference is size and power: a larger 6-quart main container against the standard’s 4-quart, both reaching the same 450°F ceiling.
Quick verdict
- Choose the standard Crispi (FN101) if you’re cooking for one to two people and want the smaller glass-pod footprint.
- Choose the Crispi Pro (AS101) if you want more usable capacity in the glass format, still without a traditional metal basket.

What’s actually different
Container size. The standard Crispi pairs a 4-quart container with a 6-cup one. The Crispi Pro steps up to a 6-quart main container plus a 2.5-quart second container — noticeably more usable volume in the same glass-pod format.
Power. The Crispi Pro runs at a higher wattage than the standard Crispi to drive the larger container, which Ninja pairs with a 6-in-1 function set against the standard’s 4-in-1.
Material. Both use the same CleanCrisp borosilicate glass, which Ninja states is free of PFAS and PTFE — see our best non-toxic air fryer guide for how this compares with ceramic and stainless alternatives.
Format. Neither model uses a metal basket. The PowerPod clamps onto whichever glass container you’re using, and the containers double as storage vessels with snap-lock lids on both versions.
Who should buy which
Buy the standard Crispi if you’re cooking for one to two people and the smaller 4-quart container covers your usual portions.
Buy the Crispi Pro if you want meaningfully more capacity without giving up the coating-free glass format — it’s the better fit for two to four people or batch cooking.
If you want two independent glass zones instead of one larger container, the Crispi DualZone brings the same glass-pod approach to a two-basket format.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Crispi Pro just a bigger Crispi? Largely yes — same PowerPod-and-glass-container concept and the same PFAS-free, PTFE-free glass, with a larger main container and higher wattage on the Pro.
Can the containers go in the dishwasher? Ninja’s Crispi glass containers are designed to be dishwasher safe; check the current listing for either model to confirm.
Do both work with the same PowerPod? Each Crispi model ships as a set with its own PowerPod sized for its containers; check current listings before assuming components are interchangeable across models.
