This device is life changing. I actually bought this one for my son. My daughter and I each already have one. This makes cooking so many things so easy. Everything from corn dogs, vegetables, grilling steaks, baking potatoes. It does everything. It has multiple setting including grilling, air frying, backing ets. It is large but not too large for a countertop. It looks very nice and modern and will not be an eyesore on your countertop. Very easy to clean. The basket, grill and frying pan attachments are all non-stick and are detachable, just make sure to let them cool down before you try to remove them to clean. You will love this machine. Read more

I cannot say enough good things about the Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo. This little gadget has given me a renewed love of cooking. About 3 years ago I purchased a Blackstone Flat Top Griddle, Electric Smoker, and an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Combo (offset smoker, charcoal grill, propane grill, all with a side burner too). I liked my outdoor kitchen but soon realized I wasn't using them often as I thought I would due to extreme hot and cold weather temps and the hassle of cleaning up. This is what led to my purchase of the Ninja OG701 7-in-1 Outdoor Electric Grill & Smoker. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the Ninja Foodi for indoor cooking. I've had the Ninja Foodi XL 7-in-1 for 2 ½ weeks and used the griddle 3 times, air crisp option 2 times, grill 4 times and broil once. I consider myself to be a good cook. My cooking expertise leans toward Thai, Mexican, and Indian cuisines. However, I tend to get in a hurry when frying over easy eggs and break the yolks. Plus I gave up cooking steaks years ago because I hardly ever can get them Medium Rare. Everything I have made on the Foodi has turned out perfectly. Grilled Salmon and Ribeye Steak were restaurant quality. The slipperiness of the griddle plate makes over easy eggs a breeze with in tact runny yolks. All pancakes were evenly cooked at the same time regardless of where they were on the griddle. Air Crisp zucchini fries and eggplant slices were delightfully crunchy and tasty. The baked (then broiled) meatloaf was slightly crispy on the outside yet moist on the inside. Baked skinless chicken thighs were done to perfection and very juicy. The temperature probe is fairly accurate, though my Thermapen has always been spot on so I tend to use that when cooking something super fussy. When you set a temp and insert the probe, the Ninja shuts off as soon as the programmed temp is reached. It then reminds you to let the food rest. After cooking,comes clean up. Nothing could be easier than cleaning the Ninja Foodi. The grill, griddle, and air crisp basket come clean with a sprayer faucet. Seriously, no wiping or scrubbing - a strong spray removes everything within 15 to 20 seconds. Then a quick wipe with a soapy sponge or dishcloth gets rid of any residual greasiness. I see no reason why I'd run them through the dishwasher. I also remove the splatter screen and wipe both sides with a soapy sponge then rinse under the sprayer - it still looks brand new. The only critique I have is that the included recipe pamphlet seems to have incorrect cook times on many recipes. I've seen other reviews stating the same thing…cook times are too long. I'd suggest always using an instant read thermometer or probe for greater accuracy when cooking. All in all, I'd strongly suggest getting a Ninja grill, or get two like I did. Read more

This is absolutely my favorite indoor grill, and I loved it so much that I even purchased one as a gift! I own the XL size, which is perfect for cooking larger portions and preparing multiple items at once. I’ve grilled everything from salmon to steaks, and the results are consistently delicious every time. The fact that it also functions as an air fryer makes it even better. This 6-in-1 grill is incredibly versatile and truly earns its spot on the counter. The build quality is impressive — it feels sturdy, stable, and well-made, with accurate heat control that delivers reliable cooking results. One thing to note: when it’s heating up, it does draw a good amount of power, so I usually avoid running other appliances at the same time. Also, be sure to spray the grill or add oil first, as food will stick if you don’t. I’ve owned this grill for five years, and it’s still going strong — a true testament to its durability and quality. If you’re looking for an indoor grill that can do it all and last for years, this one is an excellent choice! Read more

This grill is powerful, versatile, and surprisingly easy to use. It heats quickly, cooks evenly, and the smart thermometer takes the guesswork out of meats. The capacity is great for larger portions, and the different functions make it useful for everything from quick weeknight meals to more elaborate dishes. It’s a countertop appliance that earns its space because it consistently delivers good results without much effort, no smoke, no odors, only good and tasty food. Read more

This air fryer is terrific! It’s just the right size for a countertop. The weight is okay for moving it around. Food doesn’t stick to it, so cleanup is easy. It automatically preheats. The grill plate is a plus. Read more
