Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love this Ninja Foodi product. Unboxing and setup was straight forward no assembly required. Went straight to the the instruction manual and everything is very intuitive. The from LED read out is crystal clear and the buttons are nice and clicky. This indoor gril in well built and solid construction. Looked through the included cookbook and there are some nice recipes in there, will have to try some. I decided for the first meal it was going to be steaks. So I bought 2 KC strip steaks and seasoned them up and let them come to room temp. Started the grill up and it began to pre-heat. That took about 10 minutes to do so. It beeps letting you know to add food, since I was doing steak and wanted them medium doneness I selected beef and medium from the menu display, inserted the thermometer into the steak horizontally as instructions indicated. Placed them on the grill and pressed down slightly so they get those grill marks everyone loves to see. Closed the lid and in 10 minutes I had two KC strips at a perfect medium temperature. These steaks were well flavoured and so moist and juicy. This really beats the heat and standing outside to grill on your traditional grill that you keep outside. There was zero thought and little effort into making the perfect steak. There was no smoke at all coming from the unit and the kitchen didn’t heat up either like using the oven does. I’d say this is the perfect companion for those that don’t have a grill like those living in an apartment. The steaks were so tasty that I can easily recommend this to anyone who likes to grill. Even your kids should be able to use it, its that easy. I was super impressed. One think to note is that it doesn’t seem to take up a ton of counter space, but make sure you’re close to an outlet as the cord is a little shorter than id like. But that’s really a non-issue. Love this grill!!! I have not tried the other 5 uses this thing has as I really wanted to grill but I can only imagine it works just as well as the grilling portion does. Very well done Ninja!

We have started a carnivore diet and this grill is excellent! It is wonderful for steaks, chicken bacon on the grill and also has a big basket for normal air frying. We had a ninja XL air fryer but this thing will be able to take its place and do much more. It is a larger footprint for the counter but worth it. It doesn’t smell up the kitchen as much as the regular air fryer and it’s not hard to clean. It takes a little more time to clean but not bad at all. Cleaning it every time is important so it doesn’t smoke. We love it 100%

We love grilled chicken and steaks. We grill just about every week, even in the below-zero winter, because it's great to have cooked food on hand, and grilling adds great flavor and texture. I wanted to try this out to see how it works and whether it can replace some of my other kitchen gear, and I'm pretty impressed so far. Real estate on my kitchen counter is really valuable, so something has to be really good in order to earn space, and so far this thing is pretty impressive. I grilled some chicken drumsticks and they came out really good. I used the thermometer and it got the chicken cooked really good, nicely browned and crispy on the outside while fully-cooked and tender on the inside. I used the air fryer to cook some frozen burrito snacks and they came out fully cooked and crispy right from the freezer. It takes 5-10 minutes to pre-heat. I've experimented a bit with it, and I determined that it's a bad idea to try to use the pre-heat time to start cooking. My food just turned out dry and crunchy. I think it might be able to take over for the toaster oven -- after some trial and error, I found that if you grill on High, it can toast bread! Set it for 1 minute for normal or 2 minutes for dark toast, and wait until it finishes pre-heating, but the results were really good. It also cooks frozen pizza nicely. It's easy to clean, and it magically doesn't produce smoke! I'm impressed with this thing.

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.

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.

I bought this for my BF for Christmas and he LOVES it! He loves that you can grill, bake, broil, dehydrate. The little booklet of recipes are of actual food we would eat too. None of that fancy weird stuff but actual food. We grilled pork chops in it tonight and it’s cool because you put the thermometer in it while it cooks and it tell you if it’s rare or medium. It’s just so cool. Very happy

When I first opened the box it was a lot heavier & larger than I expected. I don’t have a lot of counter space. The cord is a bit short also. I am not a chef nor do I like to cook but this made dinner easy for me, the panel is easy to use, display is large & the timer stops when you lift the lid & resumes when you close it. You can do many things with this & some features I may never use, you can grill, roast, air fry, bake, boil & dehydrate. A recipe book with about 15 recipes was included so I decided to try the barbecue/ honey mustard grilled chicken, I used canola oil & had no smoke at all even after adding marinade, this was great because every other indoor grill I purchased smoked & got super hot, this was warm but it didn’t get as hot as I expected it to, there is a vent on the top & fan in the back. The display told m3e at one point when to flip the meat. Our chicken was tasty but was dried out & over cooked. I used smaller breasts & think this is a learning process to get it just right. The thermometer is handy but must be inserted at the start of cooking & tucks away into the side. I am not a big fan of fried food at all but tried the air fry feature with sweet potatoes & also used canola oil again & they were perfect, delicious & not greasy at all. I haven’t tried the other settings yet. A drip pan is included which catches everything & is easy to clean, the fry basket is easy to clean also, the grill grate is easy to wash but hard to dry because of all the grooves, they are all non stick PTFE/PFOA free ceramic coating. I was hoping all accessories would fit inside but they don’t, one has to be left out. Other than the few things I mentioned this is a really fun way to make things, especially for those who hate cooking & the food is good, just takes a bit of practice on the timing to get it perfect.

I once had an air fryer from another brand that ended up being recalled due to explosion risks. At the time, I didn’t bother sending it back and just threw it away, and since then I completely stopped using air fryers. But cooking fish or meat at home was always a hassle because of the smoke and smell, so I finally decided to look for a new option and ended up buying the Ninja Foodi Smart XL from Best Buy. The price is a bit higher than other air fryers, but the delivery was fast, the packaging was secure, and after using it I can honestly say it’s worth it. The built-in smart thermometer makes it so easy to cook meat exactly to the doneness I want. The outside comes out nice and crispy while the inside stays juicy. I also love that I can get that crispy texture without using much oil, which makes meals feel a lot healthier. Another big plus is that it produces far less smoke and smell than I expected. I can grill fish or meat indoors without making the whole house uncomfortable. The XL size is great too—big enough for family meals—and cleanup is simple since the removable parts are nonstick. Considering my past concerns about safety, I feel very reassured and happy with this purchase. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who often cooks fish or meat at home

Great purchase! Upgraded from my regular sized NinjaFoodie. Best decision ever! The thermometer feature is great. Takes the guesswork out of determining how long to cook your meats (especially if you misplaced the booklet). Simply insert the thermometer into your meat, select your cook preference (medium, medium well, etc.) and walk away. It turns off when it reaches the temp! Easy cleanup.

This thing is very versatile! I’ve used it to air fry, bake, and grill, and it excels in all categories! I use this more than my stove and oven. I highly recommend this because it’s not just an indoor grill, there is so much more it can do. It is a bit of a pain to clean, but I still really enjoy it.

The Ninja indoor grill is awesome and great to operate,Never in my life would I expect a indoor grill to do as well as this one does. Love it!!! Oh, The steak's are done just the way you want them, thanks to the built in thermometer.

The Ninja Grill came very well packaged, and includes a grill, a basket, and a great recipe/instruction book. When you first turn it on, the fan noise is definitely noticeable, but not obnoxious. You can adjust the time and temperature during preheat if using manually, but can also use the "smart" technology and the presets to make things easier. It's fairly simple to use and will actually help you along the way. After preheating it will tell you to "add food". Once you add the food, it will automatically start once the cover is shut. The first thing I grilled were pork chops, but because they were slightly frozen, and less than 1", I didn't use the thermometer. I set the time for 15 minutes. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to flip the meat, but after about 8 minutes, a message came on to "flip". I then read through the recipe book and they have great charts including one that shows cooking time, temp, and when to flip. The recipes, including some for sauces are great. It did not smoke at all, but the heat did set off my smoke alarm (mine is sensitive and close to the unit). Cleanup of the grill and the drip plate were very easy. The second item I grilled were steaks and asparagus, following the instructions exactly from the book. It was wonderful to set the rareness, and let the grill do the rest for cooking time. The steak and asparagus were perfect. We've also used it for simple things like corn dogs, fries, etc. It can bake, air fry, roast, grill - an all purpose appliance for the kitchen! The only two negatives are: I wish the grill and the basket fit inside the unit for storage and no matter how careful I am to use silicone tongs and spatulas, there are some scratches on the basket and I'm hoping it won't be an issue in the future.

Super easy setup and settings. The thermometer is a game changer for steaks. Great size for family cooking or food prep and very easy to clean. Three ribeyes at once makes for a happy family!

I LOVE my Ninja Foodi Grill. This is my second one. My first was a work horse, but I couldn't resist the new one. My second one lives up to all that my first did and more, i.e. it is bigger. I rarely use my over anymore...nightly dinners, special occasions are prepared on my grill. Great for fish, steaks, hotdogs, vegetables, garlic bread! I'm a Ninja customer for life!

Fantastic option for anyone who needs a indoor grill. As long as you follow the well-made instructions and cooking suggestions which are included, you will be leveling up your indoor cooking significantly. Also, easy to clean, and minimal smoke.

I absolutely love this grill! I’d never used an indoor grill or an air fryer before, so it was a new experience for me. I got it to grill meats indoors without dealing with cooking smells or greasy mess on the stovetop or in the oven. It works incredibly well for both! I set it up on the stovetop, just under the exhaust hood, and I never have any cooking odours in the house. Hardly any grease collects in the pan or on the grill, and nothing splatters around the stovetop. The air fryer function is fantastic too—I hadn’t tried it before, but now I’m a big fan. Cleaning the unit is a breeze as well. I really think you won’t regret buying this!

While I’m no grill master I’ve certainly enjoyed this little grill. The best feature is the digital thermometer that controls when it stops. My wife always thinks I undercook my steaks and meat because they are pink in the center. This has helped get her off my back about that. Its also nice that I dont have to pay as much attention to the actual unit while im off to the side on the stove making other things for sides. I can trust it to stop itself before anything overcooks. Its true you dont get smokey flavors or anything like that, but seasoning can make up for most of where its lacking there. All in all though a great unit.

Amazing indoor grill Gets the char marks and flavor is out of this world Everything is faster in this bad boy Amazing space in there was able to get 3 ribeyes for christmas dinner

The Ninja Grill has truly transformed my cooking experience. Its versatile functionality allows me to grill, air fry, roast, and dehydrate with ease. The precise temperature control ensures perfect results every time, and the sleek design adds a modern touch to my kitchen. Cleaning is a breeze, thanks to the non-stick surfaces and dishwasher-safe components.
