amazing machine
bought this to replace my old Phillips air fryer and what a upgrade, wow. Have cooked steak, the usual chips, jacket pots, chicken and we are venturing into new food all the time. Would def recommend.
Smart cooking
I already had the foodi max but so glad I got this! It’s so quick and the probe is amazing! Really takes the guessing away!
Looks amazing too!
love this
great air fryer big enough for 4 people. love this machine. bake in it grills burgers steaks lamb chops to perfection. use it every day
Grea
The most used appliance in my kitchen. The grill plate is a bit hard to clean as I don’t have a dishwasher.
Love using this cooker. Have char-grilled, roast and air fried. Excellent. With the airfry I find that I need the temperature less than recommended time. It makes great chips but I do them on 180 degrees instead of the recommended 200 degrees. Also grilled pork chops on lower temperature than advised. Lovely chops, juicy and flavoursome with char-grilled lines. You can add mushrooms/tomatoes to the the tray near the end of cooking. Be careful not to overcook as it does operate very quickly. For quick roast potatoes, microwave briefly first then place in a foil tray, ( no washing up!) add a little oil and seasalt and place in Ninja 210 degrees – fabulous roast potatoes in10 minutes!! ( Remember to turn them.) Little tip, when doing anything in the basket that needs oil I wrap foil underneath it to save oil going on the bottom pan . All can be placed in the dishwasher if you wish. Great purchase!
Convert!
Was sceptical but now a convert. GF wanted an air fryer and I wanted a second oven. This does both and more very well
Fast to cook, great little oven and grills really well with very little smell.
Even tried the dehydration function and it worked a treat.
Cooking probe makes grilling meat simple.
Very easy to clean but the trays get very hot so be careful.
Love this…it cooks faster on a lower temp so don’t use the guide on food packet. No need to turn food it cooks all the way round. Fantastic piece of ki
First Ninja. More to come!
First dive into the world of Ninja! Only had it 24 hours but already so happy with it! Brilliant build quality and it works just as well as you would hope with the price tag. My only advice it the timings ninja give are maybe a bit too long. Keep and eye on your food when cooking as it will overcook.
Can’t wait to get some more ninja products and build up the collection!
Love it!!!
Brilliant grill. More versatile than just an air fryer and similar size. It is big but it’s worth the space!!
I don’t usually write reviews, but ninja grill and air fryer have exceeded my expectations that I want to leave a positive review on this product.
The delivery was fast, the air fryer was easy to set up. It didn’t come with a thermometer like some reviews have said, but I didn’t need one.
I tried the grill function on some lamb pieces first, they came out crunchy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The air fry function also did very well in making crispy chicken fillet. I like how easy it is to check food during cooking. It is so much faster than the big oven I have at home.
The parts are easy to clean too. They came out very clean from the dishwasher. Tonight I just cleaned the big tray with anti-bacteria wipes, and hand washed the grill tray.
I’ll definitely be using this more often.
Delighted
I have been looking at this for ages trying to decide whether to get this or not, as I have the ninja foodie, but I have to admit it is well worth buying. It is so easy to use, and there are times when I do need both items. Easy to clean and even my husband likes it to use. Definitely would recommend this as a first buy to anyone.
Best thing I've ever bought for the kitche
This product is absolutely brilliant. Everything I go to cook in it turns out so well. The air fryer is great, I’ll never need takeaway chips again! The air fryer is really easy to use, easy to clean and the fact you can lift the lid to check progress means you can always cook things to perfection, with minimal or no oil. The grill creates fantastically moist meat with a lovely charred crispy outside – the burgers you can make are amazing, and fish, chicken and steaks turn out great too. Lastly, while I haven’t used the bake function to actually bake yet, using it for 1-2 minutes for a shop bought bun/cookie/pastry makes it feel like the item is freshly baked from the oven. Cannot recommend highly enough – just make sure you have enough countertop space for it – it’s not small.
Perfect in any kitche
This is a great product, everyone should have one. Grill, Fry, Roast, Bake and Dehydrate.
Love this!!!
I am like the anti chef, I am no fan of the kitchen. However, I can make all sorts with the minimum of fuss with this great gadget. Also, it’s much quieter than I was expecting after seeing some of the videos. Seriously impressed.

Robust & well made, brilliant grill and cooke
Bought this a couple of weeks ago and have used it every day since! My wife has just asked why anybody would buy an oven!!
Steak. 5 stars, best sirloin I’ve ever cooked, nice brown golden crispy fat
Bruschetta 5 stars, what a fantastic result that was
Air Fryer. 5 stars, sent my old air fryer down the recycling centre!
Well made, it feels robust and well made
Love it, thanks Ninja
Brilliant appliance.
I have been using my Ninja Max Grill for approximately 4 weeks. Having got used to the different methods of cooking I now use it daily. I have cooked – chicken thighs, bacon, liver, burgers, sausages, chips, homemade Irish potato bread, baked potatoes and roast vegetables with minimum use of oil and great success. I do not use it to cook steak.
I absolutely love cooking with it and tasting the results as does my fussy husband ( his choice of adjective! )
I spent a lot of time as usual researching before purchasing and I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.
My favourite kitchen appliance
Ninja is my favourite kitchen appliance, and i have several different cooking appliances. It is so easy to use and clean. I would however have preferred if there was some kind of spring in the lid to prevent it slamming shut. It does cooks food to perfection and i thoroughly recommend it. You would not be disappointed.
Worth the money
Simple to operate. Produces good results. Cleaning could be a little easier but generally not an issue. Definitely worth the money.
Highly recommended
Really pleased with this it cooks really well easy so easy to use the versatility is brilliant would definitely highly recommend
Buy it, don't think about it just buy it...
One of the best purchases I have ever made. I don’t know how it does it but everything you cook in this grill just tastes sooo much better. It’s also very quick to cook rather than a conventional cooker. Not one bad thing to say, it’s simply AMAZING.
So versatile
The best purchase I’ve made in a long time, it’s really efficient, quick and cost effective, I tend to use my Ninja rather than my main oven and grill now. I’ve used the airfry function, which is great for crisping roast potatoes. Highly recommend.

Grills all sorts of food
Food tastes like it was grilled on a gas barbecue but without all the smoke I haven’t tried out all the different things it can do yet but it’s really easy to operate I especially like the temperature probe which when used allows you to use the pre-programed type of meat it even tells you when to flip the meat over and stops when it reaches the correct temp you can choose eg: how you want your steak rare, medium rare, medium or well done, and it’s very easy to clean. I highly recommend this Ninja grill and it looks great too, PS: it is quite large and opens upwards so needs to be placed where nothing is above it, so check the measurements first to avoid any disappointme
so versatile
Bought this as a replacement to the Tefal healthy fryer, Tried Breville but after two faulty products settled on the Ninja. Thank god we did it’s amazing. The chips are so crispy, everything we have tried has been cooked so well. tried some frozen salmon and the taste was amazing.Even cooked a whole chicken and its so tasty. Cannot recommend enough.

Ninja grill
Bought this to go along with my foodi love it can cook a whole roast dinner in an hou
Bought as a Christmas present for my husband who isn’t usually into cooking but wanted to give this a try. We were a bit surprised at how big it was when it turned up but we have easily found space for it- something to watch out for if you don’t have much space. He loves it and finds it easy to use- I don’t think he has used the oven since he opened it! It’s easy to clean and the food tastes great. For the roast/bake/air fry options we find it seems to cook things quicker than usual so timings need a bit of adapting but that’s not a problem and hasn’t put off my husband either. Would recommend!
a Transforming Cooking Experience
I love this product unreservedly and my main cooker has had very little use since I purchased the Ninja a couple of weeks ago. it contains all the mess of air frying, grilling and roasting and is so easy to clean.

Love our Ninja
We love our Ninja we use it all the time! We make chips, wedges etc and using the grill function we make the nicest cooked breakfast. It’s easy to use, fairly easy to clean (the grill insert is a faff) and doesn’t take up that much space

Useful but smelly
Cooking Chicken, burgers and even small lamb and beef joints come out moist and full of flavour. I’ve been able to put the toaster away as it toasts bread very well. The only downside is when cooking fish and burgers it is very smelly, so much so that you have to open the window and shut the door on it.

This grill is so simple to use. We haven’t yet tried the air fryer capability but the roast and grill abilities have been tried multiple times over the past month. Food comes out perfectly cooked and delicious every time and the grill, roast and air fryer pans all go in the dishwasher, along with the splatter guard, so dead simple to clean. Big heavy piece of equipment so be aware if you are buying for somebody frail. I wouldn’t want to have to move it often, it now sits out permanently on our worktop.
Food lovers must have
Absolutely nothing to dislike and buying it on Black Friday with 50 off was an added bonus
This is the best cooking machine iv used for 2020 its easy to use and versatile..The food cooks evenly and does not dry out…very impressed and good value for money..Would reckommend to family and friends.
Second only to the Ninja Foodi
Love it. Haven’t used my oven for 2 months since I bought my Ninjas. My number 1 purchase of the year.
Im a rubbish cook so love this as I can just set it off and leave it and it tells me what to do when! It is quite big but as it does so much it warrants the space and looks modern over other fryers/grills being chrome and touch screen rather than all plasticky in comparison. Mine didn’t come with a soft tongs though so I bought some extra as didn’t want to scratch it. I’m now planning on getting the soup maker/blender too to match as really impressed with this product.
Big
This was a present we did nit realise it’s a very big machine
But great for its purpose
Review ma

Two Baby chickens 35/40 mins!!
Made two baby chickens today first attempt using the roast function. I did have the heat on 220 which was too high in hindsight for 20 mins then I lowered to 180 for another 15 mins. The chicken skin was crispy and cooked really well. I would probably try one baby chicken next time and see if it cooks any different! I did sear the chickens in a pan with butter before putting them in the ninja for roasting. Very impressed for first attempt.

Ninja Grill
I love this grill, the food cooks very fast and my family have all commented that the food tastes better than done in a conventional oven. I highly recommend
Get one - you wont regret i
Honestly I love this grill, I’ve cooked chicken in it and fish and it comes out lovely, really succulent and tender cant wait to try other stuff
Good purchase
This was a birthday present for my partner and she has used it to cook steaks, chicken and fish, all with excellent results.
A superb addition to any kitchen.
It is everything it is claimed to be. However, a lot of practice and trial & error is required to perfect your cooking. The cooking times in the handbook bear no resemblance to what is actually required. Once you find the correct times for your ingredients the end results are superb.
Absolutely brilliant addition to the kitchen. Wouldn’t be without it now.
Simples
Extremely versatile. We’ve cooked chicken, loads of chips and baked potatoes. We’re aiming at being more adventurous….. soon!
Absolutely love the Ninja grill and air fryer! The instructions took a little bit getting used to, but have to say this machine is fabulous. It’s really easy to clean and cooks food so fast. Have tried so many different foods so far, and home made chips are gorgeous.
love this unit, rather big for my little kitchen bench but have cleared out a cupboard for storage.
makes great chips from raw potatoes with minimum of oil.
steaks, salmon and various foods cooked really well and quicker than any convention oven, plus saves money from putting a large oven on to cook a meal for 2.
love my ninja.
Wow. That was the best fillet steak ever! Better than any restaurant.
Very pleased with product. It is very easy to use with little complications. All you need to do is select cooking mode and set temperature and time and off you go. How well does it cook food products? Well, I have used the Ninja to bake or grill mostly and if you follow cooking method in good package then you can not go wrong. If you do so, the food item will cook perfectly and even. The only gripe which I have is the size of the cooking interior. It is on the small side but I am in a single household so I do not mind too much. Do those with a family maybe in of the other Ninja models may be better suited. Prior to using the Ninja I owned a halogen cooker until it broke down, in fact I had two over the last few years, and the cooking performance between the halogen and the Ninja is night and day. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Ninja, you can not go wrong.
You can cook almost anything with it, & I really love it. The grilling gives a nice golden colour, the air frying is great as well. It gets really hot too. Sometimes food stick on the base, but it’s removable when washing just make sure to wash it Asap, also dish washer friendly which makes it easier. I recommend !
Easy to use
Don’t no how I managed with out it would recommend
make your oven redunda
versatile piece of equipment ,we had an air fryer and moved to this 100% delighted
Very versatile produc

Top Quality
This is a fabulous product that works really well. Does great chips and the grill function is great. It is so well made and a pleasure to wash up.
We love ours
Ideal for two people as you are limited for space. But cooks great and makes great home made chips and magic steaks
Cooks amazing
Excellent fryer !
Cooking made so much easier and healthier.
Whole fish to sausages, we even cooked baco
Versatile
The product is brilliant it’s so versatile and easy to use
I have had many small grilling and air frying devices over the last decade, but this beats the lot. I have got rid of my halogen and actifry!
It does perfect steaks and other meat joints. French fries are perfect. It is easy to use and cooking controls are versatile. I It cooks from frozen, but a temperature probe is useful. They are fairly cheap.have just ordered the dehydrating trays.
Absolutely brillia
Tried the fryer in both fresh and frozen chips. Brill. Tried roasting a chicken. Brill. Tried the grill for chicken and pork. Just brill. Cleaning simple and quick therefore brill. Overall BRILL

Best purchase ever over the moon with this product we have cooked all sorts in it use it that much the cooker is now collecting dust it so easy to use and clean.
We love this air fryer etc. It’s really great and cooks lots of different ways. Much more economical for small things and cooks quickly – without additional fats (mostly). Great easy reference guide as well which helps.
This air fryer is fantastic. Easy to cook and the results have been great. My only gripe is that i am finding it quite difficult cleaning it. I thought it would be much easier.
Absolutely brilliant, anything that you normally grill or fry will cook in this in a jiffy. Can also cook a fairly large chicken or joint of meat with ease. Makes great chips too
This Ninja is excellent. It cooks everything quickly and to whatever perfection you require. No problems except if you want to dehydrate anything ( meats for Jerky, or fruits and vegetables) it doesn’t come with a dehydrating rack?????
Why sell a machine that can cook in various ways and not supply the very accessories required to carry out the task??? I have looked on the Ninja website as well as various others ( including Amazon) and cannot get the proper dehydrating rack to fit my Ninja. The round one is easy to find but the square rack for this particular model is impossible to acquire. This is why 4 stars not 5.
Great at general grilling giving consistent crust/barbecue effect and uniform cooking throughout.
Versatile as well in cooking whole chickens, tray bakes and even pizza’s – could this be the students new ‘must have’ all in one cooking tool?
Highly recommended!

Takes a bit of getting used too but I love it !!
Love it, although I wish I had gone for the more superior model. Unfortunately the little cook book didn’t give a great deal of recipe ideas. Nevertheless I do like it, but be aware it does give out fumes when grilling, and I do use the oil recommended
Makes the best French fries, sweet potato fries and sea bass
Didn’t know I needed this, until I used it. I can cook a whole chicken it in 20 minutes. It beautifully browns everything I cook in it. It’s not just about the quickness, it really makes everything look great and more tasty. I’m a kitchen gadget queen, one of my best ever buys.
Quick warm up and very easy to use
This is a multifunctional piece of kit.
Very good value and grills steak and salmon to perfection every time.
Only had it for a couple of weeks, so yet to try other things but so far so good

Love this does all different foods and much quicker than ove
Excellent purchase! Doesn’t smell at all when grilling meat on the highest temp. Which is good if you live with an open kitchen living room. Does everything it says brilliantly.
May seem a bit expensive but a very versatile addition to any kitchen.
Read a lot of reviews and user feedback before I bought mine and have been really pleased with the kitchen ninja, it works far better than I anticipated and is amazingly versatile. It did smoke a bit the first time I used it but that was my fault for using the wrong oil, an easy fix though, the fan may seem a little noisy but not enough for me to worry or complain about. I looked at many other kitchen air fryers and grills but in my view this has been the best all round addition to our kitchen.
The best addition to my kitchen !
Researched airfryers for a couple of month and settled for this one and couldn’t be happier ! EVERYTHING TASTES AMAZING ..chicken ..fish…steak 5* . You be hard pushed to find better prepared food in ANY RESTAURANT . Took a week to get used to just … HOW Quick everything can be cooked but then you will hardly use your conventional oven !!
If you like bbq grilled food and crispy chicken the ninja is firvyou and well worth the money !!!
Highly recommend
Fantastic piece of kit – highly recommended. Makes beautiful homemade chips!!
A great indoor Grill.
Another great item to work alongside my Ninja Appliances. Big plus adds a little more versatility to compared to the Ninja Foodi. Love the square. The grill. The air basket & the dehydrator. Doesn’t replace my Foodi. Can’t pressure cook or make my soup . Great item.
Downside, the same range of accessories aren’t available in the U.K. as is on Amazon.com (USA). Waiting on the griddle.
This product is amazing and compliments my already growing Ninja collection. Ignore the times and settings in the cookbook that comes with it. They are too hot and cook for too long, but the product itself is amazing and well worth the buy.
Roasted a full chicken and it only took 1hr, it was moist and cooked perfectly, sausages air fry brilliant without the smoke & watery eyes. Frozen chips work really well and anything coated in breadcrums, still practising with it yet but so far really impressed. Carnt fault.
Despite running a small part-time bakery operation that involves three bread ovens, as well as having a combi oven and an Aga, I have no grill per se. After a thumbs-up from Which? and a discount offer, I bought this. I have not regretted it. So far I’ve grilled, air-fried, dehydrated and even, as an experiment, baked a loaf of bread. This thing passes the Ronseal test with flying colours. (For non-UK readers, this means that it does what it claims.)
Do not pay too much attention to reviewers that complain about size and weight – they should see my Hobart mixer. It also does a fantastic job with bacon, cooking the meat and the rind perfectly, which is tricky to do in a pan and otherwise requires a clam-shell (‘George Foreman’) grill. Easy to clean too, as those parts exposed to food are all dishwasher-safe.
I love it, saw it on TV when I was in the States, In Italy, where I live not offered so I ordered it from Amazon.uk. My husband loves it wants to cook everything in it. You can cook most things fast, with next to no fats and it really tastes good.
Dont usually buy kitchen gadgets, but this is a must for everyone. Not used our oven much, this product is perfect, food is delicious and cooked in half the time. The Ninja has landed, well done best thing I’ve bought for the kitchen….

The Ninja Health Grill is a great machine not the easiest to clean ie the grill part. It’s best all rounder in the kitchen however the basket and roasting tin which fit inside the Ninja are non stick but are easily prone to getting slight chips. It’s an expensive machine and I would expect better build quality from its manufacturer on the accessories.
Fabulous product. Both meat and fish comes out beautifully crisp but so moist and juicy. Just like having restaurant griddled steaks at home. The air fryer is ok, not as good as the Nonja Foodi but the grill.more than makes up for this. Roasting function very good too.
Convenient and Fas
The two tone look is great, which fits into my kitchen nicely, the overall size is good (not too big that it dominates the counter top, similar in size to a small/Medium Microwave). I have only just started to use the Ninja, my first attempt so far was cooking steaks, which worked out really well. I just need to get use to how fast the cooking process is, so that when other food is also cooking either in the oven, hob or microwave it’s all ready together. Terrific cooking aid, also comes with cooking instructions and cooking ideas. Very happy that it’s easy to clean.
Sits easily on work surface as smaller than the pressure cooker. Food tastes amazing pizza nice and crispy bottoms, dehydrator is fab we purchased the racks so more fruit can be done in one go. Glad we made the decision to go with health grill.

I will begin by saying this is a big bit of equipment. My picture shows it on a standard sized cooker top. That said it does so much so for me the size isn’t a problem.
1) Bake – this is ideal for things like chicken kievs, no mess as the pan they go in is easy clean and they cook perfectly. You simply choose the temperature and the time, leave the unit to heat up (handy little lights show you how close to temperature it is) pop the food in and leave it to cook. I’ve used this function for 3 different meals and it’s produced great results.
2) Grill – this is indoor BBQing with no mess or smoke. Perfectly cooked chicken breasts in 10-15 minutes, it will cook them from frozen too in about 25-30 minutes. If you want to add a brush on sauce you just lift the lid and brush it on during cooking. You get chargrilled with the grill marks and the taste of food cooked outdoors but without the smells and smoke. The grill tray comes with a brush to clean it, although I found hot soapy water got it clean anyway. The grill has different heat settings so you can be sure everything is cooked thoroughly, again you have a some preheating to do but you do only need to use temperature and time buttons to actually cook things.
3) Airfry – I’ve not tried this as I have an air-fryer and I tend to use these side by side, The instructions look simple and given what I know about how air-frying works I can’t see why this wouldn’t do the job. You have to shake the basket during cooking to ensure even results. As this unit has a hinged lid that doesn’t drop back down, doing anything during the cooking time is easy,
4) Roast – again I’ve not tried it as we don’t really roast meat very often, I will try it over the festive season and update this review, but this becomes a fan style oven with simple controls, so I think it will be fine for roasting small joints.
5) Dehydrate – I cut up 3 banana into 3mm (ish) slices and placed them as instructed, one layer in the main pan, and another layer in the cooking tray. It takes time to dehydrate as it has to be done at such a low temperature, so 8 hours later I had perfect crispy, sweet banana slices, ideal for snacks or on cereals. You can dehydrate lots of things and even make your own beef jerky. The dehydrating setting works and it works well.
I absolutely love this grill/oven/fryer. It’s incredibly versatile, simplicity itself to use, the instructions are fairly brief but they cover all you need to know. You get a little book of recipes to try, but this will do so much more than is in there. I’m still finding my feet with it but it’s fabulous. As for value for money, in my opinion, after using it every day for a week, it’s great value. As a disabled person not needing to bend to check ovens and grills is a real bonus too, this does everything at worktop height.
I will add photos to this review of food cooked in the Air Grill at a later date (it slipped my mind to take any up until now) so you can see its results and my progress.
This is more than just an Air Fryer. The number of people that are looking to buy these machines, not because of healthier eating but because they have a health issue like gall bladder problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. My daughter loves fried foods but because of her gall bladder, she has to grill everything but using this machine it has opened up food possibilities for her without upsetting her gall bladder.
Since it was near bonfire night she did burgers and sausages, she could not believe how fast they cooked, the sausages were done all around in 8 minutes and the burgers on both sides under 10 minutes.
She found the machine easy to use and but not so easy to clean by hand. Food is healthier but also crispier. Steaks turns out perfect. Drying fruit like bananas or apples is a doddle and also delicious fruit crisps.
A neighbour asks if we had tried the baking setting out yet, which is the one we haven’t tried yet. We roasted chicken breasts and veg in it and they took less than 20 minutes and cooked moist and tender.
You get a few recipes but you can also find a few on the net with a google search.
I must prefer this machine to an air fryer as this is like a mini oven where you can cook almost anything in it. Well worth buying well pleased with the quality, performance and how good food tastes.
UPDATE…
This is still going strong for my daughter and she uses it almost every day. Her gall bladder has not played up since using this to healthy eat. I have since bought 2 more, one for me and one for another daughter. Safer and healthier than a deep fat fryer.

Since it was near bonfire night she did burgers and sausages, she could not believe how fast they cooked, the sausages were done all around in 8 minutes and the burgers on both sides under 10 minutes.
She found the machine easy to use and but not so easy to clean by hand. Food is healthier but also crispier. Steaks turns out perfect. Drying fruit like bananas or apples is a doddle and also delicious fruit crisps.
A neighbour asks if we had tried the baking setting out yet, which is the one we haven’t tried yet. We roasted chicken breasts and veg in it and they took less than 20 minutes and cooked moist and tender.
You get a few recipes but you can also find a few on the net with a google search.
I must prefer this machine to an air fryer as this is like a mini oven where you can cook almost anything in it. Well worth buying well pleased with the quality, performance and how good food tastes.
UPDATE…
This is still going strong for my daughter and she uses it almost every day. Her gall bladder has not played up since using this to healthy eat. I have since bought 2 more, one for me and one for another daughter. Safer and healthier than a deep fat fryer.
