Ninja® Foodi® Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill & Air Fryer, Black/Silver, FG551

10/10As a single guy, this is a game changer. I can take fully frozen chicken breasts right out the freezer and it'll have them fully cooked in about 25 minutes.I would *strongly* recommend getting a red silicone drip mat, thin wire grill rack to sit on top of the red silicone mat and a silicone bristle wand brush thing.Cleaning this airfryer can get laborious if you use the grill grate that comes with it. Get the 3 add-ons and cleaning becomes a breeze :)

Love this grill. It comes with a lot of instructions so be prepared to read (I suggest you take the time) but it worked fabulous. I made 4 bone in chicken thighs in about 20 minutes- possibly less. The skin was very crispy but not burnt. I used the Grill function and it cooks quicklyI would say use the thermometer it comes with if you are cooking meat on Grill or be prepared to have your food cook in less time than you might think. I will update my review with a video next time I use it. I am thoroughy impressed. Clean up is pretty easy also. It needs space when it operates as it does blow out heat but nothing like an actual grill. Can't wait to use it again!

If you buy one thing this year, make it this grill. Seriously. I'm not easy to impress, but this thing exceeded my expectations. It's reliability is solid.My only complaint is that it takes a while to preheat. It feels like forever sometimes, but once it's ready, it cooks beautifully. The food comes out crispy, and the crust it puts on chicken is incredible. The size is also ample, I was able to grill three sliced bell peppers all at once with beautiful grill marks.With how hot it's been where I live, I had no interest in standing outside over a grill in the middle of summer. This lets me get the same results without dealing with the heat. It's definitely a little loud while preheating and cooking, but for me, that's a small tradeoff for how good the food turns out.

Great product. Easy to use and versatile.

I will say I was skeptical at first but was surprisingly satisfied with this. We have made fries, BBQ Boneless chicken thighs and now burgers. No smoke what so ever. Everything was cooked to perfect and fits right on my counter. My husband, who is hard to impress, was actually impressed by this. I have told several people about this product. The no stick grates are really nice and easy to clean. I will say my only complaint is it is a little loud.

I read the reviews before purchasing and everyone is correct about the thermometer not working, but I have noticed that if you follow the cooking temps and times that are recommended everything cooks very well.So far I have air fried pork chops, I have air fried homemade potato wedges and I grilled a few pieces of chicken. Everything came out really good. I was especially impressed by how well it cooked the meats. The pork just melted in your mouth and the chicken was juicy and delicious. The potato wedges were crispy and cooked perfectly with the recommended time and temp.I have seen a lot of reviews saying it's not a smokeless cooking experience but if you read the instructions it clearly states you should not use cooking oils such as olive oil or vegetable oil for a smokeless cooking experience. I tested it out by coating the pork and the chicken, very lightly (tossing them in a bowl) with olive oil and I had a smokeless cooking experience. So I assume people are just using too much oil if they are getting a lot of smoke.The machine it's self is slightly smaller than my small microwave, so it was a little bigger then I expected.I would say it's easy to use when the instructions are read properly.I've always had trouble cooking meats on the stove top, they never come out perfectly. I would recommend this for air frying and grilling especially if you're someone who is not particularly good at cooking meat.Update: I have been using the machine for a few months now and I had noticed anything, like meat that is very greasy will make the grill smoke heavily.I recommend cleaning the top circular smoke screen after every use for a smokeless experience. It is hard enough to clean after one use but I have noticed that they sell extra smoke screens on here so they can easily be replaced if not cleaned. I have also seen inserts for the bottom pan that I'm seriously considering purchasing because if you don't have a dishwasher cleaning this machine after use is a bit of a cho

Awesome ninja. So far I cooked, bacon, hamburgers, thick steaks and salmon fillet. All came out perfect with little effort. Used highest temperature on broil, lowered towards the end to 450.It marks well, sear great and everything was juicy.This unit is very easy to use, very intuitive, easy to control.Clean up? Just rinse or soak the dripped crusted pan and dishwasher does the rest. Wipe the rest as needed but there is no mess.Now, this thing does not smoke but still produces cooking smell so use it under the hood or you house will smell .Can't wait to make my sweet potato fries in it .Honestly. It does replace oven for daily cooking.Money well spent. Great price.Couldn't be happier.

I was talking to a coworker about how I wish I could grill at home, but living in an apartment in the city without a balcony or dedicated space outside makes that impossible. They mentioned this machine and wow I wish I knew about this sooner! It cooks proteins in a way where I look forward to eating them. It is no longer a chore to find something healthy to cook. This has no smoke, is easy to clean, and super fast process to cook. You will not be disappointed.
