I haven’t used all the functions of the grill yet but so far have found it wonderful for scampi, steak, chips, chops and chicken (whole, pieces and spatchcocked)
It preheated very quickly and cooked in the time recommended in the manual. I find the probe particularly useful for chicken, though I suggest using a slightly higher temperature and allowing more standing time if the chicken is still chilled.
I’ve used it to brown off the top of gratins, pasta bakes and cauliflower cheese. You do have to be a little careful of the temperature chosen for some dishes that need cooking as well as browning as it can burn the top before the centre is cooked if set too high. So better to choose a lower temperature for your first attempt and increase it next time if necessary.
I was a little worried by some reviews that talked about smell and smoke but experienced none of that.
We’ve moved house and have inherited an old and useless oven so I think that this will replace oven cooking for virtually everything until I get a new oven. My combination microwave is also now obsolete as the Ninja is so much quicker and works so much better in terms of crispness, leaving food moist in the centre.

I fell in love with this after the first few uses. It’s quick, easy to clean and the food came out beautifully. I fully recommend i

Everything is perfect
I made fries from raw. I cooked grill from frozen meet. You cannot fault i

still seeing all the options that it can be used far but so far so good, i know people rave about making chips in this but for me this has been same ok quality as my cheap air fryer so clearly I’m doing something wrong lol

I use this to cook frozen chips, croquettes etc. I love how precise the timing is allowing fine adjustments to be made for perfect results. Also I grill steaks, burgers and it’s brilliant for cooking sausages. This has never given off smoke or smells and is so easy to clean after use if you soak the containers first. I prefer to steam cook vegetables so don’t really use it for veggies yet.
The enclosed recipe book is a bit limited and I wish it gave information on the roasting option. This would be my only real complaint.
Overall this is a brilliant machine and I would definitely recommend it.

Good quality build. The heavy grill plate really sizzles the meat and give actual char-grill lines. Cooks really quickly – by the time I was setting up the sides, salad etc it was done. Temperature probe means cooking takes care of its self. Seems involved setting the right programme, on first use, but I know this will become second nature with more use. Food is absolutely great in look and taste which is what it is all about. Probably the best kitchen purchase I have made as it does it all….!

Absolutely love this and have only used it three times! Reheated last night’s noodles and tasted exactly as fresh, baked chicken patties that took less than 10 minutes! And also baked garlic bread slices which took less than 2 minutes! Only critique is i may have to watch it doesn’t over cook, as I’m not used to the speediness of it!

Absolutely love my Ninja Grill!!! Literally does everything and the meat probe is very handy to get your meat perfect. The grill function is amazing we love it for chicken skewers tastes just like bbq! If your in two minds whether to order take the plunge and do it!

So there are many gimmicks out on the market today that promise to make your life easier and for the most part, we fall for it and spend our hard-earned cash in the hope they live up to expectations. I have made many of these purchases over the years only to find they gather dust in the back of my cupboards.
So, our oven door had been playing up for a while and I saw an advert for the ninja on tv and decided to take a gamble as it looked so good. It isn’t exactly a cheap purchase so that’s why it was a gamble but boy was I glad I did!
Firstly, the Ninja does everything it says on the tin. This isn’t a machine that says it will deliver results then you discover it’s not exactly as you expected. I’d already looked at the recipes and knew what I wanted to try and I wasn’t disappointed. Roast vegetables, meat, fish, fries…you name it, the ninja can cook pretty much anything.
As soon as we received the Ninja, we used it constantly. I swear down we have barely used the oven ever since! It is so versatile. Now I am not a fan of steak, however, on my birthday we had my parents round for a bbq and I wanted to try a ribeye steak for everyone. we used the probe and it turned out the best steak we’ve ever had. No chewyness, just soft and lovely. Everyone was impressed.

I thought I’d list the pro’s and con’s I’ve found so far:

Pro’s –

Cooks food beautifully
Easy to clean
Super simple to use
Saves time on cooking
No mess
Healthy (little oil)
Worktop height (saves bending)

Cons –

Not quite enough room to cook enough for a family of five or even four
If you don’t watch food it can overcook
Have to cook food in batches then re-heat

I can’t actually think of any more negatives. This really does rate as one of my top five buys of all time. My only gripe is I need more of them to be able to cook more at the same time. Obviously, this would become costly and therefore not viable unless you can afford it.

My overall verdict is to buy this as you won’t be disappointed.

Since we received it, the Ninja has been on at least twice a day, sometimes many many more times a day, feeding from one to 12 people with additions, main courses etc.
It’s so easy to use, the kids love it, it produces great quality and keeps the foods flavorful and doesn’t dry it up (unless done wrong). It’s very versatile and replaced our oven and multiple pans for many of our daily foods. The kids say that the only thing we still do outside of it is Omelettes, and meat when there’s more than just us and we turn to our Garden grill.

Have no mistakes though – it is not like a charcoal grill, nor a full replacement to a Gas operated Barbecue, but definitely a great substitute for day to day and most foods!

Fantastic! The chicken was unbelievable! Mind you it’s Expensive. But it cooks like a chief. Wife cooked fresh salmon to perfection. Haven’t tried baking a cake yet.
Further review after three months of use. The one main point to consider is that it is difficult to clean the top lid. It gathers a lot of grease which gets burned onto the lI’d. To stay on top of it you need to clean it after every few uses. Tried a steam cleaner which didn’t do well. Probably will have to use some kind of solvent cleaner. Such a shame with such a great cooker.

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.

LOVE IT
After 2 years of having oven chips that are nasty I pushed the boat out bought the ninja and wow chips are lush, beef burgers are out and f this world very thing tastes so much bette

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

his is great for cooking anything . the only problem i have had is with the buttons , but if you use your thumb it works well

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.

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.

The ninja foodi air fryer and griil is a very versitile bit of kit great chips brilliant stakes and chicken wings

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 !

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.

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 !!!

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.

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.

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.
