Buy the Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer.

It does everything the Chefman does plus the jobs a toaster oven handles, and it doesn't have the same trail of dead-unit complaints.

What was compared

  • Chefman Air Fryer – 6 QT Compact Airfryer for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes, Features Hi-F... — $69.96
  • Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer, 8-in-1, Stainless Steel, SP151 | Air fry, bake, broil... — $149.94

Five reasons

  1. 1. Replaces the toaster oven you'd still need

    Chefman only air fries with 4 presets. Ninja adds toast, bagel, broil, bake and dehydrate in one 1800W unit, so you skip buying a second countertop appliance entirely.

  2. 2. Fits a full sheet pan, not one basket load

    The Chefman's 6QT basket cooks one layer at a time, no room for a frozen pizza or a tray of cookies. The Ninja's XL flip design handles full-size trays, so family meals skip the second batch.

  3. 3. Fewer stories of it just dying on you

    Chefman owners repeatedly report units that stopped turning on, control panels that froze, and one case of a fryer catching fire after a month. Ninja owners more often call theirs their most-used daily appliance years later.

  4. 4. Flips away so it doesn't own your counter

    Toaster ovens usually squat on the counter all day. The Ninja flips vertically against the backsplash when idle, while the Chefman only saves space by doing far less with it.

  5. 5. Yes it costs $80 more. Buy it anyway.

    The Chefman is cheaper today, but it only air fries, and its reliability complaints, dead units and stuck panels, mean a real chance of buying twice. The Ninja's extra functions replace a toaster oven you'd otherwise buy separately, closing that gap fast.
