Title: Makes side dishes and certain meals easy and fast
Review: This grill is so far one of the best purchases I've ever made for kitchen use. In the hands of a relatively experienced home cook (me) it's a super tool. First of all, it makes side dishes extremely easy and fast to prepare. Most frozen casual bagged finger foods such as french fries, egg rolls, pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, et al come out of the air fry function both much faster and much more crisp than you can achieve in the oven even using wire racks. Self made side dishes such as roasted vegetables and potatoes likewise cook faster than any other appliance and with better color and crisper results. Grilling is a mixed bag. Generally, proteins such as burgers or whitefish filets finish with great marking and color fast, but you need to check the doneness diligently. Hot dogs and sausages are easy and superb on this grill. I was skeptical of the Foodi considering it excessively over engineered, but the main benefit it has over other methods is that all cooking or grilling is enclosed, so spattering of even messy foods is non existent. It also grills consistently and cleanly so I can get better results of small tender items such as fish than I can with a gas grill outdoors. I love that the control panel pretty much lets you do anything. Bypass preheating and changing time or temperature on the fly are all standard. You open the cover anytime you like to check on doneness. I will ding the Foodi on easy of cleanup of the appliance itself. The screen pops out for cleaning, but you're on your own to clean the dried grease that builds up on the underside of the top lid. That's the downside of the shielding of the rest of the kitchen from spatters. I consult Youtube videos to find out best ways to clean this thing. Overall, if you know cooking already, this grill can pretty much do anything in terms of dry heat cooking.

Title: Small but mighty
Review: So far I love my Ninja. I have used the grill the most, chicken and steaks. I have not used thermometer yet. I have roasted vegetables and baked a casserole and used the air fryer for fries. I had an air fryer before the Ninja . (not a Ninja brand) The Ninja air fries even better than my old one, more room and much quicker. Little bit of a learning curve but basically very easy to use. It isn't huge but certainly big enough for a family of four. It is not light. I don't have a lot of counter space and I keep mine in the oven. Have only used the big oven once since I got the Ninja. I'm in my 70's and have no problem moving it in and out of the oven. My only complaint and it is small, is that I think it takes a long time to heat up. But when it gets there the grill is sizzling. It leaves great grill marks. Easy clean up on all the parts.

Title: Effortless, perfectly grilled food right in your kitchen!
Review: Omg, I am in love with this thing! I’ve used it almost daily since I got it. I’ve bought many “miracle” appliances in the past but none ever lived up to the hype and were quickly forgotten. I moved from a house where I grilled or used a cast iron grill pan on a gas stove almost daily. Now I have a glass top stove and can’t use cast iron and no grills allowed in the balcony. So far, I’ve used it for grilling steak, chicken, fish, and veggies and air frying potatoes, frozen fries, and frozen chicken strips and everything has turned out flavorful, moist, and cookbook-picture perfect. Honestly, the thermometer makes sure it’s perfect and the food turns out even better than my beloved grill (don’t tell Weber!). It almost feels like cheating somehow. The smoke alarm has gone off a couple of times, but only when I have the lid open and it’s stopped quickly. In a small apt practically everything sets off the alarm so I’m actually pretty impressed that it has only rarely activated it. I’m excited to try the other functions, like roasting and dehydrating. The grill, air fryer basket, and drip pan/roasting pan are very well made and dishwasher safe. They have been a total breeze to clean, which makes it even easier to use frequently.Bottom line: it’s not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny. Especially if you like grilled and air fried food, those functions alone make it absolutely with the cost and counter space. I’m not usually one to take pics of my food but I did take one of a cedar planked salmon and grilled Mexican street corn made on the ninja grill. Both were perfect with practically no effort and steaks and chicken were just as beautiful.

Title: Get it
Review: Literally get it. Now.Easy to clean, cooks as expected just fool around with it and see what you like, I don't recall any smoke... I do keep it under the stove and turn that fan on light because it although it smells phenomenonal i just don't want my house smelling like the cooking lol. Cooks pretty fast, good size I have GE stove it fits right on top so the design is good and value is great. I got mine on sale lol.

Title: Great Results
Review: I bought this Ninja Foodie for the temp probe and adjustable final internal temperature. My first attempt was a 12oz ribeye that was cooked perfectly and looked like it was right out of my Weber grill. Cleanup is a breeze due to the nonstick grill insert and nonstick pan. The controls are easy to use and adjustments are simple. I’m sold on the versatility and features at a cost effective price.

Title: Did What it Claimed.
Review: Overall I'm impressed with the Ninja Foodi. The temperature probe does an awesome job. I cooked a 1" pork steak that I bought from Publix (last one I get from there). I set the Temperature probe to 150. When it said to turn I added sliced onions to the grill. It came out almost perfect. The onions were perfect. It looked good and was very juicy. I let it sit on a plate so it could finish cooking. The Ninja did an outstanding job. I did miss the grill charcoal flavor. All in all I would rate it 8.5 out of 10.P.S. I do wish I had coated the meat with a light coat on oil. It would have helped in the browning.
