Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Easy to use and clean up! I just use aluminum foil for easy cleaning and with the thermometer it cooks everything perfectly. I have the outdoor grill as well but ended up buying something for indoors because of daylight savings time. It was completely dark when I got home to my RV and I also use it when there is bad weather outside.

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.

The Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Countertop Indoor Grill with Smart Cook System has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. This versatile appliance not only delivers on its promises but also exceeds expectations in terms of convenience and performance. Versatility: One of the best things about this grill is its multi-functionality. It’s not just a grill—it’s also an air fryer, bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate machine. I’ve used it to grill juicy steaks, air fry crispy fries, and even bake desserts, all with excellent results. The 6-in-1 capabilities mean I can prepare a wide range of dishes without needing multiple appliances cluttering my countertop. Smart Cook System: The Smart Cook System is a game-changer. The included meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking, ensuring perfectly cooked meals every time. I love being able to select my desired doneness, and the grill does the rest, alerting me when the food is cooked to perfection. It’s incredibly easy to use and has taken my cooking to a whole new level. Size and Capacity: The XL size is perfect for my needs, offering enough space to cook for the whole family or when entertaining guests. The 4-quart air fryer is large enough to prepare sides or even main dishes, and the grill itself can handle several steaks or burgers at once without overcrowding. Ease of Use and Cleaning: Operating the Ninja Foodi is straightforward, with intuitive controls and clear instructions. The nonstick grill grate and crisper basket make cleanup a breeze, which is a huge plus for busy weeknights. The dark grey and stainless design also looks sleek and modern on my countertop. Verdict: Overall, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Grill is a powerhouse appliance that delivers on all fronts. Whether you’re a grilling enthusiast, a fan of air frying, or just looking for a versatile kitchen tool, this is a fantastic choice. It has quickly become one of my most-used kitchen gadgets, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality and convenience in their cooking.

When I first opened the box it was a lot heavier & larger than I expected. I don’t have a lot of counter space. The cord is a bit short also. I am not a chef nor do I like to cook but this made dinner easy for me, the panel is easy to use, display is large & the timer stops when you lift the lid & resumes when you close it. You can do many things with this & some features I may never use, you can grill, roast, air fry, bake, boil & dehydrate. A recipe book with about 15 recipes was included so I decided to try the barbecue/ honey mustard grilled chicken, I used canola oil & had no smoke at all even after adding marinade, this was great because every other indoor grill I purchased smoked & got super hot, this was warm but it didn’t get as hot as I expected it to, there is a vent on the top & fan in the back. The display told m3e at one point when to flip the meat. Our chicken was tasty but was dried out & over cooked. I used smaller breasts & think this is a learning process to get it just right. The thermometer is handy but must be inserted at the start of cooking & tucks away into the side. I am not a big fan of fried food at all but tried the air fry feature with sweet potatoes & also used canola oil again & they were perfect, delicious & not greasy at all. I haven’t tried the other settings yet. A drip pan is included which catches everything & is easy to clean, the fry basket is easy to clean also, the grill grate is easy to wash but hard to dry because of all the grooves, they are all non stick PTFE/PFOA free ceramic coating. I was hoping all accessories would fit inside but they don’t, one has to be left out. Other than the few things I mentioned this is a really fun way to make things, especially for those who hate cooking & the food is good, just takes a bit of practice on the timing to get it perfect.

While I’m no grill master I’ve certainly enjoyed this little grill. The best feature is the digital thermometer that controls when it stops. My wife always thinks I undercook my steaks and meat because they are pink in the center. This has helped get her off my back about that. Its also nice that I dont have to pay as much attention to the actual unit while im off to the side on the stove making other things for sides. I can trust it to stop itself before anything overcooks. Its true you dont get smokey flavors or anything like that, but seasoning can make up for most of where its lacking there. All in all though a great unit.

I am a Ninja fan. I have the Ninja blender and food processor. This is my latest purchase. I love how this is made. Very sturdy and easy to clean. I use it almost daily. I make steaks, sea food and burgers on the grill, roasts and baked potatoes in the roaster and fries and cheese garlic bread in the air fryer. It has even replaced my toaster for toast. As I live alone this has replaced firing up the oven for many meals. I have had my other Ninja products for years and expect this to last for many years to come. I got this as part of a Black Friday promotion at Best Buy. My experience with Best Buy is always positive. Delivery right to the door in a timely fashion.

The product is overall a 5/5 for the money that you pay. Picked this grill up for $170 and it does everything as advertised. The thermometer is cheap but works well, the overall construction of the grill is ok for the price point that I paid but probably not for regular price of $280. It is easy to clean the grill because it is non-stick so you can just wipe it down or take it out and lightly scrub it with soap. The ease of cleaning is definitely the best part of this grill. The air fryer is on par or even better than most other ovens that are primarily used for air frying. The only downside is the top of the grill on the lid that you lift can potentially build up grease or stains overtime which is harder to remove.

I love to break out the grill when the weather is nice and I’m always looking for an excuse to be outside BUT, like probably everyone else in the entire world, I find the prep and cleanup of outdoor grilling is just too much these days with kids and tons of obligations. So I went for this indoor grill in hopes that I can still get that unique grilled taste without all of the hassle. Well, I can say without a doubt, this is the real deal!! My wife and I decided to dive right in and cook some chicken breasts. I highly recommend you follow Ninja’s guidance to keep smoke to an absolute minimum (For instance, they recommend that you use canola or avocado oil as opposed to butter or olive oil). We could notice almost no smoke at all when we cooked. Back to the chicken - it came out great! Perfectly cooked, still juicy and tender, AND it has that smoke flavor that you expect from the grill. Total cook time is probably a 1/4 of the outdoor grill equivalent when you consider what at all is involved in getting an outdoor grill up and running. Soooo much time saved. We also used the air fryer option to reheat some pizza for our kids; it tasted like it just came out of the oven from the pizzeria. This thing is certainly more versatile than even I imagined it would be. Like anything from Ninja we’ve ever owned, it’s extremely user friendly to the point you’d almost have to be trying to mess up. Controls are simple, it’s a handsome appliance that you wouldn’t mind leaving out, everything just works like it should, the thermometer even stores on the side of the grill with a magnet. Simple. They include recipes and quick guides to help you make sure you do it right the first time and have an excellent product at the end. You’ll find cleanup is incredibly easy as everything is non-stick AND dishwasher safe (except the thermometer of course) and you’re done with cleanup in seconds! No more scrubbing grates, burner covers, lids, etc. etc. I can’t recommend this product enough for those of us who like to grill but the “grind” has caused you to lose the passion. Get this thing now!!!

We have started a carnivore diet and this grill is excellent! It is wonderful for steaks, chicken bacon on the grill and also has a big basket for normal air frying. We had a ninja XL air fryer but this thing will be able to take its place and do much more. It is a larger footprint for the counter but worth it. It doesn’t smell up the kitchen as much as the regular air fryer and it’s not hard to clean. It takes a little more time to clean but not bad at all. Cleaning it every time is important so it doesn’t smoke. We love it 100%

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

Love this air fryer grill has built in meat thermometer so you dont have to even pay attention to cook meat stick the thermometer in it tells you when to flip and then when its done its like not cooking at all love this grill and its easy to clean buy it

I'm really impressed! It's super easy to use, cooks food quickly and leaves everything crispy. I love the timer that reminds me to turn food for even cooking. Cleanup is easy and the large capacity is perfect for larger meals. Definitely one of my best purchases - highly recommended!

Perfection. I have grilled sausage, steak, shrimp and chicken in this and they have turned out perfect each time thanks to the smart functions. I have also tested the air crisp function and it made perfect air fried potatoes. This is a must have for the kitchen!

Ninja knocked it out of the park again. Up till now my favorite kitchen gadget was the Ninja 11 in 1 but this indoor smokeless grill gives it a run for its money. I Absolutely love this grill, and would recommend it to everyone you can’t go wrong, so far chicken, pork and steak cooked perfectly.

I can't recommend this enough. It makes my life so much easier when it comes to cooking and after a couple of weeks of using i can say it was money well spent. It is super easy to clean and use. The thermometer is a great tool included in here because now i know exactly when my food is ready. Im not a great cook and my meals come out great in there so if you're a great cook I'm sure you will love this even more.

Fantastic option for anyone who needs a indoor grill. As long as you follow the well-made instructions and cooking suggestions which are included, you will be leveling up your indoor cooking significantly. Also, easy to clean, and minimal smoke.

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.
