Very good applicance. Able to cook meat from frozen. It makes some really good ribs too. I am able to grill or air fry chicken, steak etc in a fraction of time and it always comes out juicy and tender. I use it frequently, cleaning isnt to difficult to do when done. If you use oil sprays it can get a bit smokey. But I really like it ninja is taking over the applicance space.

I have to say, i am not a chef in the slightest. I have saved a lot of money with this machine. The steaks come out perfect set temperature everytime, chicken wings always crisp and hamburgers are cooked perfectly. Clean up is effortless. It does NOT smoke up your house. Its well vented. Would recommend to anyone.

We really like the Ninja indoor countertop grill!
We have used it to roast, grill and fry different kinds of meat. It’s easy to use and clean up, and the meat cooks faster than the traditional oven.

Absolutely Amazing

I’ve been using the Ninja Grill for a few months now, and it has completely changed the way I cook. Whether I’m grilling steaks, air frying veggies, or even reheating leftovers, the results are always fast, flavorful, and consistent.
The grill marks come out perfect, and I don’t have to worry about weather or mess like I would with an outdoor grill. It heats up quickly and is super easy to clean — the removable parts make it simple to maintain.
One of my favorite features is how versatile it is — I can grill, air crisp, bake, roast, and dehydrate all in one device. It’s become a daily part of my kitchen routine.
If you're looking for a reliable indoor grill that delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal hassle, the Ninja Grill is 100% worth it!

I purchased this after previously purchasing an instant pot brand air fryer and being beyond disappointed, I do not recommend that item at all... This ninja foodi grill, though! It is perfect! I haven't used my oven since I bought it .. I air fried catfish for 30 people in it, which is the reason I bout it, I've grilled chicken legs/hot dogs.. grilled corn on the cob, made kabobs, even made a box of stovetop stuffing! Garlic bread, steaks, burgers.. everything turns out perfectly and even when set at 500 degrees, it doesn't heat up my kitchen or me lol like using the oven or stove normally does. Yes it's a little pricey compared to other air fryers, but it does so much more than just air fry, aside from my kitchen aid mixer, this is the best small kitchen appliance that I've ever bought.

The machine is versatile, efficient, and well-rounded. It cooks food thoroughly with minimal effort, making it a great option for small families or individuals who need quick meals on the go, or who want to avoid major cleanups while cutting back on takeout.
I highly recommend performing a deeper cleaning every two weeks or once a month.
This works for me:
Deep Cleaning:
1. De-grease Air Vents and Fan: Oil and residue can accumulate near the vents. Use a soft brush, like a clean pastry brush, along with a vacuum if necessary to remove any buildup.
2. Odor Removal (for foods like fresh fish): Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water. Place the mixture in a shallow, oven-safe dish inside the unit and heat to 300°F for 10 minutes. After it cools, wipe out the chamber. This method helps preserve the machine.

Great Results as an Indoor Grill and Air Fryer
|

TLDR:
(that’s Too Long, Didn’t Read)
To find a place in my cramped kitchen, a cooking appliance must fulfill two basic needs for me; great cooking results and easy cleanup. This Foodi Grill does both. Assuming you have a need for the cooking modes this grill has to offer, and have enough counter or storage space for it when it’s not in use, you’ll get some really great results. When you’re done cooking, just about every part that can get messy pops out and goes in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
Pros:
* Great cooking results.
* Easy to use controls and displays.
* Versatile cooking programs.
* Temperature probe neatly stores in a side pocket and plugs in on the outside.
Cons:
* All parts cannot nest inside so it’s not as compact for storage as it could be.
* Cord is not removable and doesn’t wrap on unit, so cord just dangles when not in use.
* No obvious handles to pick it up easily.
* “XL” also means that it’s not tiny so it needs a bit of counter and storage space.
Setup and Use:
Most of the internal parts are non-stick steel or aluminum and are designed to fit in one direction inside with notches that make this obvious. The removable spatter screen that fits in the top isn’t the easiest to remove, especially if really messy, but it does come off and can go through the dishwasher like most of the other parts except for the temperature probe. I’m an RTFM kinda guy and it should be noted that the user’s manual incorrectly states that the probe stores and plugs in on the left side, but it’s really the right side. No biggie, but someone kinda goofed on the proofreading.
I used the grill mode to cook up some strip steak and yellow squash. I put the steak on at level 4 Med-Rare and the squash was on a Hi grill for 5 minutes. Both cooked back-to-back (not at the same time) and both came out perfectly done. Cleanup was a breeze because I just put everything in the dishwasher. If you don’t have a dishwasher, though, the grill plate can be a challenge to clean but is nonstick so the included brush works well.
Once the parts were clean, I wanted to nest everything back inside the cooled-off grill for storage, but the grill pan and air fry pan don’t fit inside at the same time. Bummer. That’s a small design flaw in my book. The cord also doesn’t wrap under or inside the unit so you just have to wrap it up with a twist-tie or leave it dangling. At least the temperature probe stores neatly in a little pod that magnetically docks in a spot on the right side of the grill.
BTW, the “Smart” in the name refers to the automatic probe-based cooking; not to any Bluetooth, WiFi or app-based connectivity. This is a standalone cooking appliance which is not necessarily a bad thing. One less thing to install an app for, update the firmware of, and worry about connecting before use.
Conclusion:
If you have the need for an indoor grill and have enough counter top or storage space for it, you can’t go wrong with this Foodi grill. It provides fast and accurate grilling, roasting and air-frying with super-easy cleanup. A few small design improvements would make it even better for storage, but the results still speak for themselves.

Ninja Indoor Grill

Ninja Indoor Grill and more another great item from ninja I'm loving the idea of grilling indoors and having better tasting food. I had always used a press grill that always pushed the juice out of the meat. This has a nice space inside a meat thermometer that attaches it self to the ninja. The first time cooking with it the meat did come out a little dry we had the meat temp set might have to adjust the cooking temp on this. The chicken still came out tender not pressed down like my old counter top cooker. This does have more function then grilling we did saute some veggies they came out great not a big mess to clean up and very soft.. Air Fry was able to hold a lot and able to spread everything out so it cook evenly. The one thing about this is it take a little time to warm up and get started and when you open the lid to check on the food it stops and has to kick it back up i with that was a little fast. We are going to try to Dehydrate some fruit we eat a lot of and are always outdoors. something new. The display is big and easy to read it's all push buttons no turning knobs and reading little numbers. Button for Grill Air Crisp Roast Bake Broil and Dehydrate. Clean up is very easy has a drip pan and it comes with a brush to clean the grill that makes it very nice and easy.. It says it can hold up to 6 steaks might have to try it, This is big for a counter top cooker i put a picture of it on my counter and under my cabinets. Overall a great indoor grill i this we will get a lot of use out of this winter.

Cooking made fun. Food made great.

I don't know how to put into words just how much not only I, but my wife, love this thing.
Cooking is suddenly fun thanks to this Ninja Foodi. My wife and I have just been having a really great time using this thing and working together in the kitchen for dinners.
We haven't been able to use a grill for a few years due to ours breaking and decided to not bother getting a new one until we redid or backyard.. and this limited us in quality food that we could cook.
Burgers on a stove? That becomes old overtime...Never eating steak because why bother without a grill?
That has all changed.
Upon receiving, I made sure the first two nights of meals was going to be burgers the one, steaks the other.
WOW. The cyclone grill technology works wonders. Grill lines? Got em. Juices to the meat? Just enough. . Flavors? All there. This thing cooked the meats to perfection. Not overcooked, not undercooked. You set it, you forget it, it does the work for you, tells you when its time to flip, no need to be waiting by to make sure anything is burning, the smart system alerts you when the time is right.
We also used the grill feature for asparagus and corn on the cob. Both cooked great! We typically put asparagus in the oven with some seasoning like salt, pepper, garlic powder and parmesan cheese , so we did the same for the Ninja and grilled.. Unreal the amount of flavors this retained and the taste difference compared to the oven.
One of my other absolute favorite features is the smoke control system.. Anytime we cook food on our stove or grill, the smell lingers in the house. Not anymore. No smoke smell and no food smell lingering in the house. This machine contains everything so well. It's really an amazing experience.
Thermostat makes sure that any meat you're cooking is thorough to the right doneness.
Cleaning is also really easy thanks to the ceramic coated attachments. The one night I did a honey coated chicken in the cooking pot. After that was done, decided to use the crisper over top instead of cleaning it out first and air crisped some mini potatoes. When removing, the cooking pot was completed crusted with black from the honey and I thought, " Oh no, I've ruined it. " Nope. Literally slid right off with a little water, so simple to clean.
I strongly recommend this product and I am now looking at other Ninja products that I can add to my kitchens arsenal.

Living in a smaller condo in a shared building, I was unable to get a grill for our patio. This is the perfect solution for all of that. It is perfect for grilling burgers, steaks, chicken, and other meats and veggies. It also works great as a crisper for fries and pizza. I love this thing so much . It's my go to in the kitchen now.

Unfortunately, our older model that we had for many years stopped working. so we decided to upgrade to the larger one when it went on sale. We have used it a couple of times during the holiday season, works really well compared to the older model. when you have a steak on grill mode it tells you when to flip it steak/meat over. My only issue is when you put the basket rack in you have to adjust it just right for the lid to close.

Excellent cooking device, I bought one last year and just bought this one for my son for his birthday. He used ours daily, but he moved out, and I think he might have missed the Ninja more than us. It cooks everything you throw at it perfectly and does a fantastic job with steaks and other meats. I am a big fan of this brand. I know there are so many different air fryer models out there, but this is by far my favorite.
