Ninja Foodi 5 In 1 Indoor Grill and Air Fryer with Surround Searing, Removable Grill Gate, Crisper Basket, Cooking Pot, and Smoke Control System

A good friend raved to me about her Ninja Foodi so I dared to try one.My condo does not have good ventilation above the stove, and my semi-vegetarian husband hates the smell of meat and fish cooking. I've tried various electric grills and skillets, all not hot enough or hot only right over the coils. The results were never delicious.I have the Ninja Foodi XL Grill on a table on my balcony and have been air-frying and grilling up a storm. The timer that turns it off when done allows me to be cooking in the kitchen and outdoors for the same meal.I can't claim it will never rust outdoors. It's so well-made, I'm betting it will hold up for quite a while. I had a custom-sized grill cover made, inexpensively, to protect it.The only con is how long it takes to preheat the grill feature. You just have to plan ahead.The grilling and the air frying features are really easy to use. The parts are easy to clean. I stack them together if I've cooked something greasy and start by pouring boiling water over them.I've never given air frying a fair chance before. I love it for quick breakfast meats to get kids off to school. I got rave reviews when I threw in some raw chicken wings. The last minute I brushed on buffalo sauce with a little BBQ sauce mixed in. Easy-peasy, and no oil used.If the Ninja Foodi rusts out in the next couple of months I'll try to update this. But after three months on a shaded balcony, the outside is still like new.

I would say it’s a medium size. I thought it would be a little bigger. It cooks my food really fast. Preheat takes a little bit long, but I still put the food in.only thing I don’t like is it shuts completely off when you open the lid and it slowly turns on again.but I would say overall, I really like this product and I didn’t need the 6 in 1 ninja with the thermometer which was unnecessary. Both have the same voltage of 1760 as the 6 in 1. I chose stainless steel in this one and all the others do not have that. It’s the lining that is stainless steel.It does kind of sound like an airplane taking off, it’s not the quietest, but I still like it.So this is cheaper and you get the same quality as if you bought the most expensive one which is the 6 in 1.

My husband’s health causes me to cook differently than I did when we were younger. The cooker allows us to eat “fried” foods without the oil. I am constantly amazed at the easy cleanup of the pot, air fryer component and grill. AND, being able to place them in the dishwasher without worry. Amazing product.

I had the original ninja foodi multi grill for over 5 years and it was the best small appliance I'd ever bought, until this one. While my old grill still worked great, I decided to upgrade because this one also has a dehydrator and is a bit larger. This version is a perfect upgrade. In addition to the added mode, this version fixes all the minor annoyances of the original..lower profile while also being larger (fits a lot of food inside), non stick coating on the grill plate, better filter, and quicker preheat. Living in AZ, an indoor grill is a necessity, and I love this so much I got rid of my outdoor grill entirely and almost never use my oven.

Fast cooking abd easy to clean

Easy to use not so easy to clean

I use this everyday! I hardly ever use my stove or oven anymore. So glad I got this.

I the first one I bought was larger than I thought it was going to be, so I gave it to my sister. This one isn’t much smaller, but I like it better. I like the Foodi brand, and I like the model bc I can put a small Pyrex glass pan in it.Easy to clean.
