The conclusion to the fight between the Panasonic NB-G110P FlashXpress Digital Small Toaster Oven and the Ninja DT201 Foodi XL Pro Air Fryer Toaster Oven was without any surprise. Even though the Panasonic was our best energy-saving pick, it couldn’t hold a candle to our best large pick—the Ninja.

The FlashXpress has an interesting auto-pull rack and a few distinct cooking presets that are typical in a Japanese appliance. Unfortunately, its timer and temperature range are nowhere near as detailed and expansive as the Ninja’s. The Ninja’s presets are also much more well-designed.

The Panasonic can achieve really high heat (as high as 500°F) with a low power output of 1500 W. However, it’s hindered by the lack of cooking space but a relatively large footprint, not to mention not having a convection system.

The machine has a pretty decent overall cooking performance for a small unit. It actually hit the right spot for a higher pizza score but still not enough to win against the Ninja all things considered. Besides, we thought the Ninja would’ve had a higher score if it were to bake a fresh pizza.
