Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good! Have used many times and everything has turned out great. Burgers, chicken, smoked ribs. No complaints here

Love this grill. I can enjoy the weather while cooking outside with this grill. It also has the smoke feature that works like those expensive smoke grills.

We love it. You can cook anything in n this grill. It’s smokes food that tastes delicious

Love it love it love it .. I smoke EVERYTHING with this machine I love it lol

We bought this for our RV and the grill does a good job. We've tried a sirloin roast, whole chicken and pork chops so far. You'll want the extra griddle plate, it did a great job on bacon and eggs and halibut so far. The app really sucks. It wants to do everything and if you mistakenly touch the screen it can cancel the cook and no easy way to restart. I would buy again but not the ProConnect until they update the app.

Great to cook anything and perfect one of best purchases ever made

Awesome Grill loving it a whole lot been using it like crazy very satisfied customer very happy with my purchase.

It’s been awesome and it’s really easy to take to families houses if they don’t have a smoker and you want to watch some sport games and smoke some ribs

this is a very good smoker if u dont want to have a real big smoker laying around its easy to setup and very easy to clean the grill grate u have to use a 14ga or lower power cable anything higher then 14 will trip the breaker this does smoke and cook meat faster then a normal smoker/grill

I love the smart capabilities of this cooker so I know what temperature my food is at. Ive made steak, pork chops, and much more and nothing compares.

Great product. Much larger than the original one. Great smoker. Can't be happier. This cooks better than my viking BBQ when I use the smoker.

So far so good and I'm just getting started. 10 outta 10

Awesome grill with so many functions and features. Great value for the money

This is a cooking machine, it cooks like it is it's job!

This things is fantastic at dehydrating meats, all other food has been good too. The smoke feature is really cool

Works well; intuitive controls. App easy to install and use.

Love my new bbq. Works great, easy to use. Love how fast it works.

When they say XL they mean it, this thing is big! Immediately opening the box it comes packed up with all the accessories you need to be up and cooking in less than 30 minutes. I have cooked on charcoal, gas, electric griddles and smokers before so this being 7 cooking appliances in 1 seems like a great way to go! Set up was simple, unboxing and organizing the items that this unit ship with. I washed the main cooking plate and the air crisp basket before powering up the unit for the first time. This particular appliance comes with an app that allows you to control the unit remotely via Bluetooth or WiFi. High Five to Nijna for providing their customers with a VERY EASY set up process through the app, set up was less than a few minutes and I was already controlling my grill from my phone to start the first burn in before cooking for the first time. I will advise to read the included quick start guide and instruction manual just to get a feel for all the options and neat things this grill can do. One HUGE call out when setting up the grill, if you sync with your wireless internet you can monitor temps and cook times from anywhere via the app! I ran to get the kids from school and while in the pick up line, I could see exactly what the internal temp was of my tenderloin and how much cook time was left. Pretty slick to have technology assisting you when life causes you to multi-task. There is this intimidation factor when it comes to smoking meat or grilling that is completely eliminated with this grill. Because its so easy to use, experimenting with different proteins and seasoning will be tons of fun! I first cooked a pork tenderloin using the woodfire smoke feature and it turned out incredible, the included temperature probes and the app helped me ensure I cooked it perfectly to approx. 180 degrees. In the app, there are presets by meat and cut or you can fully customize depending on your level of expertise. I wanted to try the air crisp feature by cooking chicken wings, so on they went after checking out a few online recipes. What changed the game for me when cooking these wings is the addition of a subtle amount of smokiness! The air crisp feature is similar in design to an air fryer BUT you can raise the bar by adding the wood fire feature and add some smoke while cooking. This was fun to play around with because traditional grilling doesn’t naturally add so much smoke flavor. Clean up was fairly easy with the one exception of how the air crisp basket is designed, it did take some elbow grease to get totally clean. The primary cooking surface is non stick and is removable from the grill unit so cleaning that is pretty straight forward. Storage can be kinda tricky due to the dimensions of this cooker, and once you use the woodfire smoke feature it will for sure smell like smoked food so storing inside might not be an option for everyone. There are TONS of videos on YouTube to get ideas of what to cook next and with the versatility and increased size over the original the sky is truly the limit on how many amazing meals you can make with this grill. Essentially the Swiss Army knife of outdoor grilling appliances!

I live in an apartment building and in New York City, gas grills are illegal to have on a balcony or terrace, so electric grills are my only way to go. But you should also be aware of the rules of your building as it still may not be allowed. If you live in a building and are unsure if an electric grill is allowed, you should confirm with the building owner or landlord first before purchasing. With that said, the Ninja Woodfire ProConnect XL was a great choice for me! I’m not much of a cook so anything so I’ll take any help I can get when it comes to cooking. I loved the app features and how I’m able to cook while I’m away from the grill and not have to babysit it. Connecting the app to the grill was easy with the guided instructions. With the app it’s almost like microwave cooking simplicity. It will tell me when preheating is done and to add food. When to flip the meat. When it’s done cooking. It allows me to set the temperate and the cooking time. It even has presets for meats. There are 2 thermometers included to allow you to cook and monitor 2 different things at the same time. The display on the grill is bright enough outdoors and easy to read. Besides grilling, it’s also a smoker, which I’m completely new to, as far as wood flavoring goes. It comes with wood pellets, so that was nice to get me started because otherwise I’m not sure I would’ve ever tried the smoking feature if they didn’t include it and I was left to my own devices. The smoked chicken I made tasted great and was flavorful. Best of all, it was easy to make. You just put the wood pellets in the grill's separate pellet box, and set the grill to smoke. The Woodfire ProConnect XL is also an outdoor air fryer. It’s pretty cool that I can make fried chicken with the same machine as well when I want to eat outdoors, instead of using my air fryer in the kitchen then bringing it out. I can even cook fries and fried chicken at the same time. Cleaning is relatively easy. You remove the grease and grill tray from the grill and wash them with dish detergent and water in your sink or from a hose. The trays are non-stick, which helps with the cleanup. You can’t use abrasive pads, as tempting as it may be to remove stubborn stuck on food, or else it will scratch the tray and probably the non-stick coating along with it. You’ll also need to wipe down the inside of the hood. And that’s it. The cooking surface of the Woodfire ProConnect XL measures at 17.25” x 11”. This fits 8 of the 1/3 lbs Bubba Burger patties that you can buy from the supermarket. The base isn’t flat. It’s supported by 4 legs on its corners, so you will need to put it on a flat surface that’s wide enough to support the legs. So you will need about 23” x 21” of flat surface space. Unfortunately, the grill does not come with a cover, which is disappointing, since it’s an outdoor grill. Instead the cover is sold separately. Another thing I found annoying was that the power cord was short at just 4 feet and 7 inches. Most of us will end up needing a heavy duty outdoors extension cord. The extension cord I went with was a 10 ft 12-gauge outdoors extension cord. The ease of cooking with the app connectivity makes the Ninja Woodfire ProConnect XL worth it for me. Since I live alone, the size is more than big enough for me, but it’s welcome when my mom comes to visit and cooks for our family of 6 people.

The Ninja Woodfire ProConnect Premium XL Outdoor Grill is a perfect machine for someone new to the whole outdoor grilling/smoking game, and also a great addition to traditional gas/charcoal smokers and grills in general. Even though the weather has turned sour in the Pacific Northwest in the last few weeks, I was able to use it for some grilling and smoking parties to great satisfaction. Pros: Totally electric solution makes the unit small, easy to use and more importantly clean. Getting it up and running takes just a few minutes The built in 2 thermometers makes cooking a breeze App is very well organized and intuitive. Until I used the app to monitor a smoking job, I didn’t appreciate it much and thought of it more as a gimmick. Boy was I wrong. Now using my regular gas grill feels like using stone-age tools Included grill-pan feels sturdy and very usable. Cleaning is quite easy due to the non-stick coating Ninja Woodfire technology actually works. I used the included sample pallets (and got some other ones), and the flavor really did get into the mix. It won’t replace a traditional charcoal smoker by any means, but it comes pretty close. For newcomers this makes things so much convenient Control for the different functions via the front panel (or the app) is easy to understand Includes Air crisp, Bake, Broil, and Dehydrate functions on top of grilling and smoking options, making it more versatile compared to traditional grills A grill catcher with removable liner makes cleanup easier Cons: Even though this is the ‘XL’ version, the cooking surface is not the largest. Due to the way the unit closes (it has a fan and heater inside the lid), I had to plan ahead and had to make sure the meat does not touch anything. Grilling can be done with the lid open, but then the woodfire cooking option is unusable Non-stick grilling pan means it is not the most durable/robust out there. I had to take some care on what tools I’m using (had to get wooden spatulas etc. so as not to scrape the surface) The grill catcher can get full if you’re cooking large batches. Can get messy if not kept in check Fan can feel a bit noisy After grilling a bunch of burgers, sheekh kabobs, chicken breast, and chuck roasts, this has become my go to grill when I’m not entertaining a large crowd. It’s easy to use, setup, clean, etc. compared to my gas grill. And the app based control is a game changer.
