Ninja Launches Its First-Ever Microwave, that Crisps Like an Air Fryer

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 16, 2026--

SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: SN), a leading global product design and technology company, today introduced the Ninja Crispi™ Microwave, the brand's first-ever countertop microwave built to crisp as well as it heats. It joins the recently launched Ninja CRISPi ® DualZone and the upcoming Ninja MultiPot™ XL, extending Ninja's latest cooking innovations across the microwave, air fryer and multicooker categories.

For decades, consumers have relied on microwaves for speed while settling for soggy leftovers and unevenly heated meals. Building on the success of the Ninja CRISPi ® platform, Ninja reimagined the microwave experience. The Ninja Crispi™ Microwave delivers your traditional settings plus crispy, oven-quality results in non-toxic glass, with full meals ready up to 60% faster than a conventional oven. 2

The breakthrough is FusionCrisp™ Technology. It starts with microwave cooking, then automatically finishes with Ninja's legendary air frying, using superheated cyclonic air up to 450°F to take food from frozen to crispy in 10 minutes. 3 The Ninja Crispi™ Microwave brings CleanCrisp™ glass to countertop microwave cooking for the first time. The 5.5-quart glass basket is non-toxic PFAS & PTFE free, while its flatbed design provides 40% more usable surface 4, making it easy to prepare meals for eight to 10 people.

"The microwave has long been the go-to for quick meals and it's always made the same tradeoff: fast or good, never both," said Michaela Dubeau, VP of Product Development at Ninja. "We decided to rethink it completely. The Ninja ® Crispi™ Microwave combines microwave speed with the power of an air fryer, so you get the texture you actually want, not just the speed you're used to."

Beyond the microwave, the CRISPi ® lineup introduced the Ninja CRISPi ® DualZone this summer, the first glass air fryer with DualZone™ Technology. Two independent 4-quart CleanCrisp™ glass zones run at different settings finishing both at the same time with Smart Finish ® for a total of 8-quarts of cooking capacity. With six functions, Air Fry, Bake, Dehydrate, Max Crisp, Roast, and Recrisp, it offers more ways to meal prep, host, or make meals for the whole family.

Later this summer, DualZone™ Technology enters the multicooker category with the Ninja MultiPot™ XL 12-in-1 Multicooker. Two 3.3-quart ceramic pots let you make two completely different dishes at once, or swap in the single 7.5-quart XL pot via MegaZone Cooking to feed up to 12. Powered by 1,500 watts and temperatures up to 400°F, its 12 one-touch functions deliver better, hotter, faster results 5- including category-first Sautee, plus Sous Vide, Stir Fry and Hot Pot.

The Ninja Crispi™ Microwave (SRP $449) and the Ninja CRISPi ® DualZone (SRP $349.99) are available now, and the Ninja MultiPot™ XL (SRP $249) arrives September 8th, all online at SharkNinja.com.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian authorities at the country's border with Iraq thwarted an attempt to smuggle weapons believed to have been headed to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, state media said Thursday.

A truck was seized with advanced weapons and rockets, Syria’s state-run SANA news agency quoted an unnamed Interior Ministry official as saying. The official said that a preliminary investigation concluded that its intended destination was Hezbollah in Lebanon, which since early March has been at war with Israel.

The new leadership in Syria, which toppled former President Bashar Assad in 2024, has cracked down on smuggling of weapons and illicit drugs along its borders, especially with Iraq and Lebanon, which for decades have served as strategic routes for supplying Hezbollah and other groups backed by Iran.

Hezbollah called the Syrian government's accusation “baseless,” as they have done several times in the past. Hezbollah for years was present in Syria backing Assad during the 13-year conflict, but the group maintains it no longer operates there.

“These claims and accusations are nothing more than fabricated narratives with no foundation in reality,” the group's media relations office said.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s Joint Operations command said that it formed a committee to investigate the smuggling and will coordinate with its counterparts in Damascus. It did not offer other details.

U.S. President Donald Trump has insisted that Syria take military action against Hezbollah, while Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has been trying to prevent his country from being sucked into a wider regional conflict.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi earlier this week traveled to Washington to meet with Trump, who has been pushing Baghdad to disarm Tehran-backed militias.
