Love this item! The best part is the thermometer. Works well! I find myself cooking more, because it's easier.

If you’re thinking about buying one do it, you won’t be disappointed !! I picked up today and it’s so easy to use. I cooked a pork roast for dinner and it came out perfectly, the temperature was spot on. It’s easy to clean. I love everything about this Ninja Foodie. It’s well worth the money !! So glad I bought it !!

The best kitchen appliance that I got for my birthday. I used it almost everyday. I perfectly cooked the steak for the first time, I used it for french fried, chicken barbecue, and pork chop that always come out perfect. Highly recommended for anyone who love to grill or air fry their food.

Best thing I ever got!! I use it every day and basically forgot about my fancy stove. I am a parent who is on the go every day and my son who is an athlete and family are eating healthy meals . I spend less time to cooking and food taste delicious!

So far I used its grill and the air crisp feature and I loved it. I grilled chicken wings and drumsticks and pork chops and the result was nice looking and delicious. My husband is very picky on french fries and we have another air fryer that quit using it for fries because of his taste. I used the Ninja for fries and it turns out even better than what I was expecting, crispy but not dry! I used it to air crisp some veggies and the result wasn't perfect! Maybe I can get a better result next time. cleaning isn't hard although the inside top part of the device will turn the color a little bit. I saw it in one of the posted videos and thought they have not cleaned it! I cleaned it and still a little brown! or Maybe I am picky! In my overall experience, if you cook a lot at home you can absolutely use the Ninja every day. Loved it!

I love this product so much. If want bbq now I can do myself now. So much easier than a bbq pit. I loved this product so much I got my sister one.

First Impression and the bottom-line is I really like the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill and Air Oven. From the moment I unpacked the oven to our first meal that evening I was won over. A rewarding experience, to evaluate a product that captures one’s attention and covers all the bases of its intended role in today’s contemporary kitchen. The Ninja Foodi is brilliantly designed, engineered, solidly built, and implemented. The style and quality perfectly match its cousin the Ninja 8 qt Pressure Cooker. They make Fabulous Bookends on our kitchen counters. Preparing meals with the Ninja Foodi XL Air Oven and the 8 qt Pressure Cooker in the kitchen I envision a day that is free of the traditional oven and certainly in a kitchenette. Space and energy saving. Setup of the Ninja Oven is simple. Basically, you set the oven on the counter remove the accessories read the instructions look up a favorite meal in the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill recipe book plug in and start cooking. Truly quite easy with astonishing results. Note on Foodi Smart Thermometer: After cooking the grip on the thermostat is Hot, use oven mitt to withdraw. Proof is in the pudding: - First evening cooked three 9” long Rib-Eyes using the Thermometer, aroma of cooking garlic drew family into the kitchen. Rib-Eyes cooked consistently throughout all the steaks, tender and juicy. - Steaks were cooked to order, two were prepared between Medium-Rare and Rare and one Well-Done. Simply select a number between 1-9 to select Rare to Well Done. - Second evening it was Salmon Filets with roasted vegies. Salmon was delicious and the vegetables were the best I have ever enjoyed. - The salmon did not require flipping over and the thermostat control alerts when to flip the steaks. - There was no smoke from the oven in either steak or salmon dinners – nice. Likes: - Ease of cooking. Ninja states: “Choose your food type” “Select desired doneness” “Insert Foodi Smart Thermometer” “Foodi Grill Smart XL Grill does the rest” That is exactly how easy it is to cook on the Foodi Smart Grill, even makes me look smart in the kitchen! - Foodi Smart Thermometer. The application of the Smart Thermometer and supporting processes is astonishing. Like having AI built into your oven. The thermometer cooking system is reason enough to have the XL Smart in the kitchen. - Front Panel is in an uncomplicated layout that provides ease of control and feedback - Low noise level. - Build quality is exceptional. - Cook time is remarkably quick. Decided to have Rib-Eyes again this evening and asked family if they want the steaks cooked outside on our $1000 grill or the XL Smart Grill. Steaks are being cooked on the Ninja, yes it really is that good. Family loves the dinners, style, and ease of use. For the Foodi XL Smart Grill my Rating is a strong Five Star Rating.

My apartment complex doesn’t allow outdoor grill, but this all in one indoor grill make up for that. Easy to clean.

Had it for a few weeks and it is awesome. Used every day and everything taste great. Easy clean up!

Steaks, chicken breast, wings, veggies its all been great!

I love this machine! So much that i bought 2.. one for my RV.

Excellent for indoor grilling. Real grill marks and the best BBQ chicken I’ve ever made! So easy to use.

My best purchase!!! It’s easy to clean and makes cooking my favorite foods easy!

Amazing and so easy to use. I love cooking using my Ninja Foodi Grill

I should say up front that I received this item for purposes of review. And, I'm not going to lie, I haven't eaten this well in a while. The steaks alone made this a great item to review. The thermometer made cooking steaks extremely easy. The onscreen display tracked the progress of the steaks and let me know when they were ready to rest at my desired level of doneness. The air crisper produced crispy and hot french fries in a fraction of the time of a traditional oven. Somethings that I learned and weren't obvious to me up front: 1. Avoid using olive oil as it can produce more smoke. Instead use canola, coconut, or vegetable oil. 2. If you plan on using the thermometer, make sure your meat is thick enough for the thermometer to be effective. I tried using the thermometer on some thinner hamburger patties and the machine thought they were done when they clearly weren't. 3. If you should need more time or need to turn the device back-on, you can skip preheating by holding down on the preheat button. 4. Make sure that the FoodieXL has its own dedicated power outlet and that it is on a 15 amp circuit breaker. I wish there was a bit more space for grilling and air frying at the same time, but as it is, this is a large unit. It takes up approx. 15 inches by 15 inches of spaces with a height around a foot. It's going to need a decent amount of counter space or closet space for storage. Ninja sells a roaster rack and a combination air frying and grilling rack, but sadly they don't come included by default. Be sure to check out the ninja website for accessory options. The device is loud, but I didn't think it was much louder than my stove's exhaust fan. Using the approved oils, I never noticed much if any smoke. The food tasted great. If you have the space and are interested in an indoor grill / air fryer combo, the FoodieXL is easy to recommend!

We like it, it work perfectly fine. It’s the same that I dream about it.

Unpacking and set up was extremely easy. I referenced the manual for cooking time for hotdogs and cheeseburgers, it took 5 minutes to cook the hots dogs and 10 minutes for the cheeseburgers. I placed the food inside and set the time for 10 minutes and pressed play. As soon as it started cooking, I must say it sounded like an airplane ready to take off. The fan is loud but not a deal breaker because it is temporary. The grill does take up a good amount of counter space so it will be stored off the counter when not in use. As you can seen from the pictures the burgers could have cooked a little longer for medium rare but the burgers were thick overall it was perfectly cooked. The time specified in the manual was close, but you can always use the probe but the meat has to be thicker than one inch. Cooking surface area is large enough to cook a 12 inch steak, as you can see from the pictures 5 hamburgers fit easily. The burger came out as if it was cooked on an outside grill. I love this new cooking tool, it will be used a lot during the winters for steaks and burgers. Overall, this is an awesome indoor grill that is versatile - grills, fries and broils. Clean up is very easy. I highly recommend this grill for the winters and for all your frying needs.

Have cooked so many different foods in this and have not been disappointed yet.

Just buy it! I love this thing, i can now have juicy burgers and steak without having the smell of bbq smoke in my hair, skin and clothes!
