Ninja’s crispi dualzone arrived in September 2026, and the new model makes its case with a bigger footprint and more functions. The ninja upgrade gives households two 3.8l glass containers for 7.6l of total capacity, aimed at people cooking multiple dishes at once.
The dualzone adds eight cooking modes in all: the original crispi’s roast, air fry, recrisp and keep warm, plus bake, max crisp, dehydrate and prove. It also reaches 240C, which puts a wider set of cooking finishes into one countertop appliance.
crispi dualzone and the original crispi
The original crispi first launched in 2025, and the new dualzone keeps the glass-container idea while changing the format. Instead of the original model’s detachable power pod, the dualzone uses a more traditional drawer-style design, with detachable containers that are dishwasher-safe and supplied with storage lids.
That shift gives the range a different use case. The original model was pitched around cooking, meal prep and leftovers; the new version leans toward bigger household meals, with two containers that can run side by side rather than one compartment handling everything at once.
8-in-1 and £300 value
The extra functions make the 8-in-1 version more versatile on paper, but the reviewer still put the price question front and centre. The rose quartz model was tested in a busy family home, and the verdict was that it was worth spending an extra £120 on the upgrade.
That leaves the core decision for buyers unusually clear: the dualzone is not just a larger crispi, it is a pricier one at £300, and the case for it rests on whether the added capacity and four extra modes justify the step up from the original format. For shoppers comparing the two, the practical question is less about whether the dualzone works and more about whether two 3.8l containers solve enough of the daily cooking load to make the higher outlay worthwhile.
crispi range and cooking tests
The dualzone also sits within a wider crispi range that includes the crispi pro and the 6-in-1 dualzone, but this launch is the cleanest answer yet to families who need more room without moving to a larger cooker. A review of the machine at SharkNinja Launches Ninja Water Filter With 99% Contaminant Removal shows how quickly Ninja products are being pushed across home-appliance categories, while Peng Zhang Builds X-men Phoenix Fight With 20 Ninjas and Fourth-Round Ninja Choke Seals the BRAVE CF Bantamweight Title for Borislav Nikolić use the same word in very different settings.
What the launch does not yet answer is how the ninja dualzone performs in actual cooking tests compared with the original model. On size and mode count, the upgrade is straightforward; on value, the final judgment still depends on whether those two glass containers deliver enough real-world convenience to make the £120 jump feel justified.
