You have to give Ninja credit. They take technology that's been around a long time and somehow make it a little better. I do wonder if this actually cooks 60% faster. The cool thing to me is the included 5 1/2 qt included glass pan. That's huge.
Like half the country I have an above the range microwave so no need for me. It should be a hit though.
I checked it out. The Breville does look really good. There are several good user videos that would be helpful deciding between the two. The main user review on Amazon is actually well done. The guy walks you through most functions and seems to love his Breville. He said it's an outstanding microwave just on it's own.
The Breville does look more refined and has a intuitive and easy to adjust menu. The construction looks solid too, stainless everywhere. It has nice touches like a soft close door, but I wonder how good it is at air frying. I'm confident Ninja would beat the Breville here. I can only assume Ninja wouldn't botch that aspect as they know that's probably the number one thing people are going to do, microwave then air fry. I also like the Ninja's air frying fan above (like most air fryers) rather than at the back of the oven with the Breville. I don't know, but I'll bet the Ninja's fan is more powerful.
What the Breville can't match is capacity. With the Breville they use this weird pan with folding legs that can't hold that much by comparison to the Ninja. The Ninja can cook a huge amount of food because it doesn't use a turntable and comes with that 5.5 qt microwave dish. It looks like it would be easier to clean the interior too compared to the Breville.
I'm not saying the Ninja is definitively better, and if you're a Breville person you'll probably be happier with Breville. I won't get to personally test either since I have no need, but at $150 cheaper and with the larger capacity I think I would choose the Ninja. Time will tell whether the new Ninja is all that. Here's a thorough reddit review of the Ninja https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaCri...ja_crispi/

There are reviews for the other color. 0.9 cu ft is fairly small, and the short warranty are the main areas of concern for me personally.
