Background

The Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer was released July 5, 2019 by SharkNinja, with a suggested MSRP of $169. The AF161 is a newer, updated design model of the previous AF100 model produced by SharkNinja. The device is a part of the AF160 Series with a model number of AF161.

The AF160 Series can cook food up to 30% faster as compared to the AF100 Series. The different functions of the device include Max Crisp, Air Fry, Air Roast, Air Broil, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. These preset functions are all included with the enhanced control panel from the AF150. The AF161 Max XL Air Fryer includes dishwasher-safe accessories.

The AF161 model features additional “Max crisp” and “Air broil” cooking functions compared to the AF150, which doesn’t feature the “MAX” text above the controls or in the product name and has a lower maximum cooking temperature (400F).

The earlier version of this product, the AF160, featured a metal base, which was replaced later on by a plastic one in the AF161.
