The Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer has the ability to flip upward once you’re done using it. This feature lets the toaster oven take up about half the countertop space it previously occupied. The flip-up design lets you store the appliance off the countertop, which matters because most homes don’t have enough space for a countertop oven year-round. It offers eight cooking functions, enough capacity for a 12-inch pizza or four slices of toast, and an easy-to-remove crumb tray.

A countertop oven and air fryer that folds flat when you’re finished
With this model, you can rotate the oven to lie flat against the wall or backsplash. When flipped over, the size is cut in half, but when rotated back into place, you can use it within seconds. Since it’s so easy to reduce its footprint, it no longer competes with other items, such as a coffee maker or knife block, for counter space.
The control layout uses a digital display rather than a single row of mechanical analog knobs to set functions, temperatures, and times. Picking a function, selecting a temperature, and setting a cooking time all require turning a knob and pressing a button. After you make your selections, they appear on the screen, rather than having to guess whether one of your knobs landed between two points. A countdown timer also runs during the cook cycle, so you can see the remaining time without opening the door and letting heat out. When you’ve used the preset features before, the oven stores those frequently used combinations, giving you quicker access to recipes like a large batch of wings instead of having to select them manually every week.
These eight functions let you do what normally requires multiple appliances. They include air frying, toasting, baking, broiling, roasting, bagel-making, dehydrating, and reheating. When using the air fryer, food cooks with significantly less oil than deep-frying requires. Reheating food also helps leftovers taste more like their original form than a microwave could.
The capacity fits a 12-inch pizza, four slices of bread, or a vegetable dish. Those sizes are enough for a single meal for a family or two servings for two people, without having to run back and forth to finish. Preheating takes just a few minutes, compared with 15 minutes for a full-sized oven. Because it’s a countertop unit, it doesn’t heat up a large part of your kitchen while you cook one small tray of food. In many instances during warmer months, that alone is worth considering.
The crumb tray comes off easily, and the interior cleans quickly. Cleaning also includes putting all accessories in the dishwasher and wiping down the inside with water, so cleaning up after cooking a tray of chicken wings takes about the same time and effort as loading a couple of plates in the dishwasher. The box includes a sheet pan and wire rack, along with a recipe guide.
