Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven (SP101)
A capable flip-away air-fry toaster oven with a bare-metal interior - but its bundled air-fry basket is Teflon-coated, so it is only a clean choice if you cook on a stainless tray or swap in a stainless mesh basket.
The verdict: Minimal plastic contact
The oven cavity and wire rack are bare metal, so the oven itself has no nonstick cavity - the point of going the toaster-oven route. The catch is the included air-fry basket, which Ninja coats with PTFE (Teflon). As shipped, air-fried food sits on that coated basket, so it is minimal-contact. It earns that rating only on the assumption you use your own uncoated stainless tray or a stainless mesh replacement basket instead of the bundled Teflon one - a cheap third-party swap. Used with the coated basket, it is effectively a coated surface under the food.

A popular 8-in-1 air-fry toaster oven with a flip-away design: the whole unit rotates up to stand against the backsplash when not in use, saving counter space. It air-fries, roasts, bakes, toasts, and more across a wide temperature range, and ships with an air-fry basket, a sheet pan, and a wire rack. To keep food off the coated basket, air-fry on your own uncoated stainless tray or a cheap third-party stainless mesh replacement basket.
