Noisy and Thermometer doesn't work well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a smaller indoor Ninja grill and loved it! This one doesn't fit an any normal size kitchen cabinet. It's very noisy and more smokey than the smaller one. The thermometer gets to a few degrees below the set temperature and doesn't shut off. So if you set the meat temperature to 165, it gets up to 163 and keeps running and burns your food. I was pretty disappointed by that.

Posted .Thank you for your honest review Tony!
We’re really sorry to hear that the Ninja Foodi hasn’t met your expectations, especially after having such a great experience with your smaller indoor Ninja grill. It’s understandably disappointing when a new appliance feels less convenient, noisier, and more difficult to store.
The issue with the thermometer not shutting off at the set temperature and burning food is especially concerning, and we want to make sure this gets looked into. Please contact our customer service team at 1-800-365-0135, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll do everything we can to make this right.
Kind regards,
Ninja Kitchen

A game-changer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My beloved (and admittedly super, super outdated) George Foreman grill finally died after 10 years of use, so I had to search for a replacement. I might be the last millennial on Earth that has never owned an air fryer, so after researching for a while, I decided on this one. This guy is a bit bigger than my teeny tiny George Foreman is, but MAN, it has so much more functionality. It cooks much, MUCH quicker than the George Foreman did and much better quality. It would take me almost an hour to batch-grill chicken on the GF because my surface area was so small. This grill can grill it all in one go. I’ve been using the thermometer to grill, and the chicken comes out so tender and juicy. I haven’t used every function on it yet, but I’ve been dabbling with the air fryer. I’m still working out some kinks, but I feel like it’s more user error than the machine itself. After eating food from it, my stepfather bought one too, which is as good as a glowing endorsement. The only con I can think of so far is how much space it takes up on the counter, but it is worth the compromise for how much it can cook at once, in my opinion.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used this daily! So many functions and I have used each one! I’ve made beef jerky for the first time . The grill works great! The air fry function is used the most. I like that size so you can cook quite a bit in it. Easy to clean & use. I did get it on Christmas sale for myself.

Absolutely Love it!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ninja knocked it out of the park again. Up till now my favorite kitchen gadget was the Ninja 11 in 1 but this indoor smokeless grill gives it a run for its money. I Absolutely love this grill, and would recommend it to everyone you can’t go wrong, so far chicken, pork and steak cooked perfectly.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the superior model of this machine and was concerned that this would not be good enough but I was wrong! This is even better for certain types of food as the lighter bottom bin is deeper. I love this machine so much that already bought another to give as a gift to a dear friend. Highly recommend it. I did not give it 5 starts because in comparison the other machine seems to have heavier, more solid trays but so far so good. It may deserve another star. Time will tell.

The Ninja wins the title
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Power XL air fryer is great but the Ninja (the one I always wanted) is amazing. Not only does it look good but it cooks superb. The Air Frryer portion has a lot of room for the extras vs competitors. Yes, it's expensive but you can grill, bake, air fry, dehydrate, broil in this bad boy. If you want it don't hesitate and just go do it.

Performance & Versatility
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This isn’t just a grill — it’s a full kitchen station. I’ve used it to grill steaks, air-fry chicken wings, roast vegetables, and even bake small casseroles. Everything comes out evenly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. The Smart Cook System with the built-in thermometer is incredibly accurate; it takes all the guesswork out of cooking. My steaks come out perfect every single time — from rare to well-done, exactly as selected.

Great indoor grill
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not everyone has a backyard or deck for an outdoor grill. Whether you live in an apartment, condo, or want to fire up the BBQ no matter what the weather forecast looks like, This is small enough to fit on your countertop and work great for burgers, chicken, vegetables, and more. Best of all, food will look and taste great!

XL Ninja Grill
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Ninja grill! Im so impressed on how many features and how quickly and accurately cooking times are. I have used the air crisp which is the air fryer for fries and wings.
