The Cuisinart ClearView 4-quart Glass Basket Air Fryer is listed at $139.95 USD on Cuisinart’s US site, and it is one of the air fryers in the new Cuisinart Color Collection announced on November 9, 2026. Its glass basket and top window let you watch food brown without opening anything.
Cuisinart is a division of Conair LLC. Its press release says the collection puts 11 best-selling countertop appliances into six colors: Tahini, Bayside, Sage, Toasted Oat, Blush and Blue. The rollout has begun, more products and colorways will arrive through early 2027, and availability varies by product and color.
What is the ClearView 4-quart air fryer?
It is a 4-quart air fryer built around a glass basket instead of a solid metal drawer. According to Cuisinart, the basket can be used to prep, cook, serve and store food, and it can go in the fridge. A top window and an interior light give a second view from above.
Specs from Cuisinart’s product page:
- Capacity: 4 quarts
- Power: 1600 watts
- Temperature: up to 450°F, adjustable in 5 degree steps
- Functions: Air Fry, Recrisp, Bake, Broil and Keep Warm, plus 2 custom presets

Cuisinart says the collection keeps the performance of the existing appliances and changes the look. The press release gives no new specifications for the ClearView, so the figures above come from the product page.
Which colors can you buy now?
Cuisinart’s press release lists the ClearView 4-Qt Glass Air Fryer in Tahini, Bayside, Sage and Toasted Oat. On the collection page, checked on November 10, 2026, the Tahini model (AFC-4B) had a Shop Now link, while the Sage and Toasted Oat versions were marked coming soon. The standard AFC-4 is black.
The same collection also includes a 6Qt Basket Air Fryer and a Compact 2.5Qt Toaster Oven Air Fryer. Cuisinart names Cuisinart.com and other retailers, including Amazon and Target, as places to buy.
How much does it cost?
The product pages checked list the price in US dollars only:
| Model | Color | Price (USD, Cuisinart US) |
|---|---|---|
| ClearView 4-quart AFC-4 | Black | $139.95 |
| ClearView 4-quart AFC-4B | Tahini | $139.95 |
| Stainless Steel Crisper Plate AFC-4SSCP | Accessory | $14.95 |
Cuisinart also offers three interest-free Klarna payments of $46.65 on the product page. The press release states no prices at all. Tom’s Guide reported a price of $139 at Amazon in its May 22, 2026 article, and the same outlet listed a larger 9-quart model at $159. Prices in other countries are not listed on the pages we checked, and a sale price can change at any time.
Why is this air fryer getting attention?
The new colors are part of it. The other part is how it compares with the Ninja Crispi, the glass air fryer it is most often set against. In a June 4, 2026 comparison, Tom’s Guide said the ClearView costs about $40 less than the Ninja Crispi’s regular price and has a top window, an interior light, temperature control in 5 degree steps and two custom presets.
Tom’s Guide gave Ninja the design win because of its wider color range and an extra storage bowl, and it favored the Cuisinart overall on price, design and functionality. The Crispi comes in 4 and 6 quart sizes. With the new Tahini finish, Cuisinart is answering the one point where it lost.
Who it suits
Small households. Tom’s Guide described the 4-quart size as aimed at 1 to 2 people, and said it fits about 1.5 lb of french fries, 2 lbs of wings or a whole 4 lb chicken.
Cooks who like to check on food. The glass basket, top window and light let you judge browning from the side and from above, and the shake reminder prompts you to turn food at the right moment.
Shoppers who want an uncoated look. Cuisinart lists a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick crisper plate that goes in the dishwasher, and the glass basket doubles as a storage dish.
Who should wait. If you want Sage or Toasted Oat, those finishes were still marked coming soon on the collection page. Larger families may prefer the 9-quart model or the 6Qt Basket Air Fryer, though Cuisinart lists no price for the 6Qt in the press release.
What is still unknown?
The press release gives no prices and no dates for the colors that are not yet on sale. It does not say which countries get each color, and the pages checked show only US prices. Cuisinart has not published new performance figures for the collection.
What should you do next?
Check cuisinart.com/TheCuisinartColorCollection for the current status of each color, then compare the same model at the retailers Cuisinart names, including Amazon and Target. Confirm the model number before you order: AFC-4 is black and AFC-4B is Tahini.
