Ninja: what it’s actually made from

Every Ninja product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 22.0 out of 100.

We have scored 9 Ninja products. They average 22.0 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 47 points.

Of those 9: 2 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 1 name no food-contact material at all; 0 state a country of manufacture; 0 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.

That spread is the thing worth noticing. The same company publishes enough about Ninja Air Fryer Max XL 5.5 qt for it to score 47, and so little about Ninja DoubleStack XL 2 Basket Air Fryer SL400 that it scores 0. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

Ninja appears in Air fryers. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
