The Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro is a compelling option for anyone craving the char and flavor of grilling year-round, regardless of weather.This 7-in-1 appliance boasts a large cooking surface and a range of functions, aiming to be more than just a grill. After several years of testing, here's my take: The Pros: • XL Cooking Surface: The "XL" designation is no joke. This grill offers ample space to cook for a family of four or even larger gatherings. You can easily fit multiple burgers, steaks, or even a whole chicken. • Versatile Functionality: Beyond grilling, it offers air frying, baking, roasting, broiling, dehydrating, and even a flat griddle option. This versatility truly makes it a multi-purpose appliance, potentially replacing several single-use gadgets. The probe/smart thermometer with metal braided wire is especially cool when grilling a steak! No more guessing, as it tells you the exact temp of the steak and when to flip it! • Smart Cook System: The built-in smart thermometer and pre-programmed settings take the guesswork out of cooking. It monitors the internal temperature and alerts you when your food is cooked to your desired level. This is a game-changer, especially for those less confident in their grilling skills. • Excellent Sear: The grill grates deliver impressive sear marks and a genuinely grilled flavor. • Easy Cleanup: The removable grill grates and grease tray are dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze. • Reduced Smoke: While not entirely smokeless, the design does a decent job of minimizing smoke compared to traditional outdoor grilling. You do notice a tab bit, but nothing that would set-off your smoke detector. The Cons: • Size: The "XL" size, while a benefit for cooking capacity, also means this appliance takes up a significant amount of counter space. • Price: It's a premium appliance with a premium price tag. Do you really need it.. yes you do. • Learning Curve: While the smart features are helpful, there's still a bit of a learning curve to mastering all the different functions and settings. Read the manual thoroughly and you'll be ready to go quick! If you have the counter space and budget, this is definitely worth considering.

Man I am basically an indoor pit boss now. The creations I was able to chef up on this grill have been amazing. The whole family can’t wait till I break this out each time I cook. Love the griddle portion of it. Nothing better than flipping cakes then switching to the grill to flip sausage patties. And it doesn’t take long to chef up something. I can fit 5 decently sized strip steaks on there as well. Such an easy unit to use so glad I made this purchase. And the included meat thermometer is a game changer. I’m talking perfect line inside steaks every time. Will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to wake their inner Netflix special chef.

This is the best small appliance I have ever bought. We use it daily. Grills steaks and chicken to perfection. Bacon is easy. Reheating anything is a breeze. Sweet potatoes using the roast setting is delish. Salmon is quick and easy. I could go on and on. I purchased this ninja because we had to move for a year and had no outdoor grilling access. My husband is hooked. I kid you not, we use it daily. Rarely do we turn the oven on.

Item is excellent that I bought before. But this one I bought as a gift and it showed up in a cardboard box with a lot of bubble wrap. Not sure this is new since it isn't in the Ninja Foodi Grill box I received perviously. AMAZON PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS OUT OF MANUFACTURER BOX. My guess is it's reconditioned and not new. Kind of sick of Amazon and the BS they play.

I use this more then I use my oven probably because its design perfect for small groups the probe ensures a perfect cook every time and its easy to clean and mine never smokes I hear about them smoking but I believe that's because they use the wrong oils when cooking.

i had a ninja air fryer before and it was good and effective but i did not like the style of it. i had a george foeman beyond grill (most recently) but........ i do not think they tested the power cord that came with it. when it worked it worked flawlessly, but i dont think the power cord was properly tested and it caused a lot of cutting in and out of power. sooooo i was in the market for buying a new air fryer/griller and the 1st generation of this product was down in price so i thought i would go back to the ninja. i actually choose a used option of this product and it arrived a couple of days before the suggested date (thumbs up). when i opened the box and examined the items/parts, it all looked brand new or was cleaned extremely well. almost all items were present except for the recipe book. other than that everything looks like it was there. i did a test run with frozen totinos pizza and at 350 degrees/air fry/ @ 8 minutes/on the grill plate the pizza was done to perfection. i mainly will use this for grilling steaks so i will report back after that test. i kinda know how long to flip/cook steaks in an air fryer so i do not need a thermometer, but if i use it i will report on it. my last ninja was well made and i hope this one has the same ninja quality/longevity. Edit: after cooking several items this ninja cooks a lot hotter and faster than it appears. Like if instructions on frozen pizza says 12 minutes at 370, the ninja will get it done at 8 minutes at 355 degrees. Not complaining, it's quite powerful. edit: 30 may 2023. finally cooked a ribeye steak and because it runs a lot hotter than advertise i was a bit worried about my steak. i like my steaks medium rare and knowing it does run hotter than suggest i had my settings on grill/hi/pre heated/8 minutes. i flipped as well as it told me to flip at 4 minute mark (which i did) and it looked very nice, but as the time the timer was going down i was a little worried it would cook too fast i stopped it 30 seconds before the full 8 minutes. steak looks amazing with good grill marks and i let it sit for about 10 minutes before cutting into it. after cutting into i think it was more on the medium side. not complaining but i like to factor in when i reheat it in microwave so i prefer it on medium rare because of that. i know the one i own runs hotter than the suggest recommendations, but i do not use the thermometer so if you use the thermometer then it may come out perfect for you. i stay in front of the grill every second when it comes to steaks so i am aware of the seconds when it comes to steaks so i do not use a thermometer. anyway in summary it still turned out to be a fantastic ribeye steak. also i washed the mesh screen before cooking the steak and i did not have any smoke. this was the first time i cleaned the screen after at least 7 uses of frozen pizza and sweet potato. so if you clean it well then i believe the smoke will be very minimal or non at all. very happy with my purchase. reserving the 5 star for longevity.

This Ninja Grill does nto work int he UAE. Be very careful. It runs on 110v USA power source and the UAE and most fo the world is 240v. The seller should not be shipping it to the UAE.

Absolutely love this machine!! Haven’t used the dehydrator function but the air fryer is awesome and has a fairly large basket. I previously had an xl ninja foodie and was worried this basket would not be big enough, but it is (for a family of 4). I love the grill!!! I will say that, if you cook your meat according to the included cooking guide, it will likely be over cooked. It definitely took me a little practice to learn how to cook my steak the way I like it (medium well). I don’t ever cook my steaks on “high” heat as they suggest, but always on medium heat to “well done” and they come out perfectly with some pink inside. For someone like me who has never barbecued anything in my life, this machine has been so worthwhile!!! I highly recommend!

It works! And the most important part it was new.

Muy recomendando para quien le gusta la carnita asada y no quiere humo en la casa.

Excelente servicio y el producto cumplió con nuestras expectativas.
