KITCHEN PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2026/2027: NINJA CRISPI PRO

The Elektronikkbransjen trade magazine, in collaboration with retail experts, has selected the product of the year in 16 categories, with Ninja CRISPi Pro named ‘Kitchen product of the year 2026/2027’.

This is the 23rd consecutive year that the trade magazine has organised the awards, which also include the selection of the Christmas gift of the year. Specialist juries have assessed the products’ features, whether they bring something new to the market, and their expected popularity among the Norwegian public. The criteria also require the products to have gone on sale in Norway after 1 January 2026 and to be available in stores in the run-up to Christmas.

The specialist jury in this category consists of Arnstein Værdal (Elkjøp), Danial Ejaz Bhatti (Power), Henrik Hjelvik (Komplett/NetOnNet), Knut Grimstad (Elon), and jury chair Stian Sønsteng (Elektronikkbransjen).

Ninja CRISPi Pro

The product combines preparation, cooking and storage in one solution. The glass containers can be moved directly from the air fryer to the fridge or freezer with their contents intact. Seven cooking functions, two containers and a modular design are intended to provide flexibility, from simple meals to family dinners. The solution reduces the number of steps between preparation and cooking. According to the specialist jury, the model impresses with its large containers and a reheating function that allows the glass cooking bowl to be placed directly in the air fryer, while also being easier to clean than traditional air fryers.

Finalists:

Krups Coffee Crush Experience

A compact coffee machine measuring 15 cm in width, developed to make everything from espresso and lungo to cappuccino, filter coffee and cold brew. The stainless-steel grinder has five grind settings, while 15-bar pressure is specified for the brewing process. The touchscreen provides access to settings for coffee strength, temperature and cup size. Automatic grinding and tamping simplify preparation, and the steam wand can be used to froth milk. The expert jury emphasises that the model combines the same quality as larger coffee machines with a significantly more compact format and a sleek, well-executed design. NOK 4,000

Ninja CREAMi NC6

The ice cream maker has 11 one-touch programmes for, among other things, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, frappé and smoothie bowls. Advanced CREAMify technology helps achieve the desired texture, while two 710 ml XL containers make it possible to prepare larger portions and combine two flavours in the same container. Dedicated settings for dairy-free recipes and CREAMiFit for protein-rich blends are intended to provide flexibility for different preferences. In its reasoning, the expert jury says that the model stands out with a dedicated programme for protein ice cream and health-conscious recipes, and that it develops an established product category in an innovative way.

Ninja SLUSHi XL

The machine has six programmes for slush, frozen drinks, milkshakes and other cold beverages. RapidChill Pro technology cools liquid ingredients without the use of ice, while SlushAssist technology automatically adjusts the temperature for the right consistency. The container holds 4.4 litres and up to 12 servings per batch. The WhisperChill compressor keeps the contents cold for up to 12 hours. The jury highlights that the XL version meets the need for greater capacity and makes the product better suited to parties and larger occasions, while also considering it the best in its category.
