Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love our Ninja Foodi! We uses it several times a week. My favorite part is that I can cook burgers in the middle of winter without having to stand outside at the grill.

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 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.

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.

I am very pleased with the grill, it has been cooking my steaks to my desired temperature and it is very easy to use.

Cooks well, purify smokes, easy to clean. Great for small places like dorms and balcony

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.

I am absolutely thrilled with the Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Countertop Indoor Grill! This appliance has transformed my cooking experience, making it more convenient and enjoyable. The Smart Cook System is incredibly accurate, ensuring perfectly cooked meals every time. Whether I'm grilling, air frying, or using any of the other versatile functions, the results are consistently excellent. The build quality is outstanding, with a sleek dark grey and stainless steel finish that looks fantastic in my kitchen. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the non-stick components and dishwasher-safe parts. Overall, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL is a game-changer. It’s well worth the investment for anyone looking to elevate their cooking game. Highly recommend!

This Ninja indoor grill is awesome. It has several options from grilling to air frying. Setup and use is easy. Cleanup is super easy. It cooks food delicious! The built in thermometer makes it so easy to cook to perfectly. Used it so far for turkey burgers, salmon filets and veggies. Love this Ninja! Definitely can recommend it

This thing is awesome! Cos streaks as well as my Weber propane grill, maybe better! I use this grill almost everyday. My stove is feeling lonely....

Very nice , I love it . Nice product and easy to clean .

What a great product! It is so easy to use and versatile. My favorite feature is the grilling option. Living alone, it's easy to throw chicken or steak in the Ninja and quickly get a beautifully grilled piece of meat. The probe makes sure your dinner is done perfectly every time. Clean up is a breeze. This product offers great value for your money.

My air fryer died, and I needed a replacement. This came up and I wanted to give it a try. You can tell (kinda) by the picture you have several options grill(which I did)bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate. So there is a lot going on in this smallish device. I made pork chops for my first meal. I did use the meat probe. I was told to flip them half way. But you can see no grill marks like in the advertisement. They were cooked all the way through though. There is a preheat, for about 10 minutes and my not very thick pork chops took another 10 minuter to cook. There is an included cleanup brush. The machine and the grill plates all cooled off pretty fast and did not heat up my kitchen very much. There are several included instructions for how to cook what. you can put in frozen meat if you want. I may try that this week. I know I have a lot of practicing to do. You can Google and see how other people are using this of course. Should you buy this? give it a try. I am sure I wont use all of the functions but I can see several coming in handy for me.

This is an amazing small appliance! Cooks perfect every time and is easy to clean. No smoke!

Cooks from frozen to done in about 20/25 minutes. It will also cook to your desired temperature with its built-in thermometer—several options to cook with from Grilled to Air Fry. It also doesn't take up to much counter space. Replaced two appliances for this one.

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.

The Ninja Foodi Grill stands out because of its built-in temperature sensor. It takes all the guesswork out of cooking meat. I can grill steaks, chicken, and fish to the exact doneness I want, and it automatically stops cooking at the right temperature. The results are consistently juicy and evenly cooked every time. Combined with the powerful grill and air-fry functions, this feature really sets it apart from other grills. It’s easy to use, heats up fast, and cleanup is simple.

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 bought mine on sale . This machine is easy to use and it cooks food to perfection. I’ve grilled vegetables, steak, fish and chicken using it and I haven’t been disappointed yet. I’m definitely happy that I decided to give Ninja a try.
