Newair AB-1200 126-Can Beverage Fridge vs Ninja Air Fryer Max XL

The AB-1200 is Newair's freestanding beverage refrigerator, sized to hold up to 126 standard cans behind a glass door. It is a dedicated drinks fridge rather than a general-purpose mini fridge: the shelving and the temperature range are set up for cans and bottles, and the glass front means the contents are visible without opening the door. Seven temperature settings cover everything from cellar-cool to properly cold, and the shelves are adjustable so taller bottles can be accommodated by removing or repositioning a shelf. At 18.9 inches wide it is designed to stand free rather than be built in, which makes it straightforward to place in a kitchen, home bar, office or games room. Newair backs it with a two-year warranty.

The Ninja Air Fryer Max XL uses rapid hot air circulation to crisp food with up to 75% less fat than traditional deep frying, while a 5.5-quart capacity accommodates family-sized portions of fries, wings, or a whole chicken. A Max Crisp technology setting reaches higher temperatures for extra-crispy results comparable to deep frying, and a wide temperature range allows both air frying and dehydrating in the same unit. The non-stick, dishwasher-safe basket and crisper plate simplify cleanup, while an easy-to-read digital display with preset cooking programs takes the guesswork out of common dishes.

• Large 126-can capacity for the footprint
• Glass door makes contents visible at a glance
• Adjustable shelves handle bottles as well as cans
• Two-year warranty beats the category norm

• Large capacity for family cooking
• Genuinely crispy results
• Easy cleanup with dishwasher-safe parts
• Versatile with dehydrate mode

• Freestanding only, so it should not be built into cabinetry
• Glass doors let in light, which is not ideal for long-term wine storage
• A drinks-only fridge is a poor fit if you also need food storage

• Takes significant counter/storage space
• Can be loud during operation
• Basket coating may wear over years of use
