Ninja European Single-Basket Comparison: Pro, MAX and MAX PRO

Quick decision: Start with the usable batch you need: 3.8-litre AF100EU, 4.7-litre Pro, 5.2-litre MAX-class or the 6.2-litre MAX PRO. Compare the exact controls and finish package after capacity; these are European appliances, not US AF141/AF161 listings.

Exact review	Market and vessel	Useful distinction / offer
AF100EU	EU · 3.8 L	This is the small European single basket, not the US AF101. It suits modest batches and reheating; moving to AF140EU adds nominal basket space, while AF160EU adds Max Crisp.
AF140EU	EU · 4.7 L	A straightforward European Pro single basket. Pick it for routine air frying and reheating; choose the larger AF180EU when one shallow layer of food is the limiting factor.
AF140EUCM	EU · 4.7 L	Cinnamon is the distinguishing finish, not a different cooking layout. Compare the delivered price and included pieces with ordinary AF140EU before paying a colour premium.
AF150EUCP	EU · Retailer listings conflict: 5.2 or 6.2 L; confirm the manual	A legacy copper package with incomplete current manufacturer documentation. Buy only when the seller supplies its exact manual and rating label; do not transfer AF160EU Max Crisp settings merely because both are sold as MAX.
AF160EU	EU · 5.2 L	The European MAX sits between the smaller Pro and the larger MAX PRO. Its Max Crisp programme is the reason to compare it with AF140EU; volume alone does not establish how much breaded food fits flat.
AF180EU	EU · 6.2 L	Choose the larger square single drawer when wide portions are more important than two independent zones. The adjustable crisper plate changes food position, not the number of cooking zones.
AF180EUCP	EU · 6.2 L	The copper finish belongs to the MAX PRO family. Check the included plate and accessories; a finish change is not evidence of better airflow, a probe or additional cooking zones.
AF180EUWH	EU · 6.2 L	The white model retains the large single-drawer layout. It makes sense for a coordinated kitchen when its complete delivered package is competitive with the standard finish.

Capacity and the shape of dinner

A broad fillet or several breaded pieces can make the cooking floor more important than nominal volume. A larger single drawer still needs successive cooking for foods requiring incompatible temperatures.

What the family names mean

The Pro family supplies a simpler programme set, while MAX and MAX PRO add their own high-heat programme choices. Do not borrow AF160EU settings for the legacy AF150EUCP package without its own manual.

Copper, cinnamon and white

Finish-specific codes need the correct box and warranty, but a colour is not proof of a different heating system. The legacy AF150EUCP documentation gap is disclosed in its guide; obtain the original manual before choosing a used unit.

What this comparison does and does not establish
