This made me cook more meals. Meat and veggies are a breeze on this thing. Cleaning is not bad. Only the preheat is a problem.

Chicken has always stressed me and my husband out. But with this, having a built in thermometer has been a lifesaver! It’s so easy to use, and clean. We have a lot of grilled chicken, and it always tastes great! Can’t wait to cook more!

While you can’t cook everything, this bad boy is convenient. Smokeless and delicious meals in no time.

This Ninja cooker is really one of the best cooking appliance I have ever bought. We sat it by the stove and now we no longer use the oven. Easy cook in all the modes

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.

Everything cooks evenly and turns out perfect, especially when grilling chicken and beef! However, the grill is not easy to clean. I’ve tried several cleaners and products, but grease still gets stuck on the grill.

I have 2 Cosori Airfryers, an Instant Pot and have tried other similar appliances. This one is the real deal but before I go on, make sure if you are planning on buying a Ninja Grill Foodi that you do your research first as there is more than one option. Spend time watching YouTube videos.
So, first of all No Smoke! If you are grilling inside, read the directions and follow them because that’s the key. I use 100% Choice Avocado Oil spray or brush some from the bottled type which has a high smoke point. Certain oils should not be applied.
Second, controls are easy to use and offer every option one would need. I have not air fried yet, as I have had no need to, but grilling was great. It helps to rearrange food at the flip point if you are filling the grate but that’s to be expected.
Third the filter is an amazing feature which traps much of the spatter making clean up much easier than an air fryer for things like hamburgers. You can put the filter directly into the dishwasher however I soak mine in hot water with a little soap when it is very dirty and has bits of food trapped. I then take the brush they included with the grill and scrub it down before I put I in the dishwasher.
Fourth, the griddle/pans are ceramic coated so no Teflon. Rinsing off first in sink and then soaking the griddle in the pan, filled with hot water & soap, makes cleaning them easy. I don’t use the brush they provided just a Dobbie pad and toothbrush on those parts.
Fifth, the preheat gets the grate sizzling hot but after cooking the unit cools down relatively quickly as long as you leave the lid open.
Sixth, the included thermometer really shouldn’t be trusted however, once you use it awhile, you get to figure out what it’s inaccuracy factor is and it helps one not overcook food.
This unit requires a lot of space so measuring the area you want to put it in is paramount. We ended up having to modify a kitchen cart as when opening the lid it must rest on a solid surface behind the main body.
I do not hesitate to recommend this grill to anyone who has the space for it. Beginner cooks or advanced cooks will find it a useful and fun appliance to use. Will it replace an outdoor grill? For die hard outdoor grill devotees … of course not … well maybe in those cold months in the northeast. However, if that’s not you and you want to grill (or air fry) rather than using the broiler in your oven and smoking up the house … well heck yeah this is for you. Just remember you are still going to smell that food cooking throughout your house so if you have a exhaust fan nearby you can use that to tame that somewhat.

I bought for myself several years ago. Bought this one for my son. Others in my family have jumped on the Ninja train as well!

We owned the 301 series Ninja grill previously and liked it. But this came out as a second generation model and we decided to replace our old grill. Wow! This is a superior product. It’s bigger on the inside, the grates and grill pans are coated with a much better non-stick materiel and this the grill is easier to use. I’ve recommended this grill to many friends! The only downside is that the temperature probe does not seem to be very accurate. However, overall we love this grill/air fryer and would purchase again!
