I absolutely love this, it is so easy to use, I’ve even taught my daughter who has learning disabilities and is blind how to use it. We have made just about everything from full English breakfast to rice pudding, joints of meat to chips, buns to apple crisps it is so versatile.
Brilliant item
It’s easy to use I love the grill makes gorgeous steaks and I have used the air fryer and done roast potatoes in the roast. Easy to clean apart from the splatter guard doesn’t get all the brown marks off but so long has you clean it should be fine.
Game changer!
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!
You won't regret i
I am in love with this. I’ve only had it 24hrs and I can’t complain. Food tastes so much better cooked in this. I cooked a whole chicken in 50 mins and it tasted better than a rotisserie chicken. Chips are amazing in it. Best buy of my life!
Every kitchen needs one!
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!
My best ever impulse buy!
I bought this on impulse when it was on a deal of the day and also had the Amazon pay in instalment offer.
As someone with chronic illness I thought it might make cooking a bit easier but I couldn’t have imagined just how much it actually would!
It’s so good for cooking just how much I need, no bending down checking on things in the oven or ending up with uneven cooked food.
I’ve been so impressed with the versatility and speed of my Ninja plus how perfectly it cooks everything I’ve made so far.
I’ve not yet used all of the functions but even if I only ever make chips in it I’ll consider it a good buy.
I would absolutely recommend buying one of these and for what it can actually do, I’d probably have paid full price.
Great purchase
After reading some of the reviews I nearly didn’t buy this machine, but I’m so glad that I have purchased it after all. It is very easy to use and I have to disagree with some of the reviews about it being noisy and difficult to clean, as I don’t find either is the case. It comes with a handy little brush to clean the grill plate, the rest cleans easily without. I have only tried the air crisp and the grill function so far and I am over the moon with the results. Absolutely love my Ninja and can recommend it to anyone!

Love my Ninja Health Grill ❤️
My Ninja health grill is absolutely fabulous. No more frying anything especially when making a full English breakfast. The grilling plate is brilliant and gives your food that charred look without the smoke. Easy to understand instructions and use. I wish I had invested in one of these babies years ago. I’ve also invested in the Ninja 9 in 1 Foodi and the Hot and cold blender/soup maker. I love my Ninjas
What a great purchase this has been.
I won’t turn this review into some huge story, I’ll get straight to the juicy bit….
ITS WORTH A BUY 100%
I have this item on my kitchen worktop, next to an Instant Pot pressure cooker, and using this items has been a revelation in the kitchen.
The Ninja cooks food very nicely and makes cooking super quick and easy. You literally cannot go wrong with this.
This device gets very hot quickly and cooks like a breeze offering much functionality. The added temperature probe really helps with your longer roasts and the reminders to turn/flip your food is great.
After all your food is cooked, everything can go into the dishwasher. It’s also really easy to clean without a dishwasher.
Oh so simple.
My absolute favourite thing about this device though is the almost complete lack of smoke. The filter does a great job of trapping the smoke.
Other items I’d suggest to buy along with this are:
Ninja skewers (official website)
Avocado oil (it’s the best)
A temperature probe (essential cooking item)
I hope I’ve helped you in your decision making, this is a really great product from Ninja.

Great kitchen aid/gadge
Bought this for my wife she is in love with it so may different ways to use this. Very easy to use a bit bulky for your kitchen counter but my wife has it on display so it guess it’s ok.
he temperature probe means meat is cooked to perfectio
Positives – I love this appliance, and it was worth clearing a space on my worktop for. I use it everyday now, replacing the grill and oven of my main cooker, as well as the old deep fryer. The parts clean perfectly in the dishwasher, there is no smoky atmosphere in the kitchen and food is cooked to perfection. It does take some getting used to, as things cook quicker than expected, but it is worth the effort to get to know how it works and how long things take.
negatives – Ninja’s website offers spare or replacement cooking tray and the grill insert, which would be great as when you use this a lot, you may need to use it more than once to cook a meal, and the tray or grill insert needs washing in preparation. Once used they are hot and need to cool down for some time to wash by hand or go in the dishwasher, which itself requires significant time. So I was happy to order a second tray and grill but they are permanently unavailable, or marked out of stock. this has been the case for weeks now, and I worry that with the daily use my Ninjas is getting, I will need a replacement at some point, and not be able to get one. Could do with Ninja upping its game on spares.

Used all their time
I researched this and for my needs I chose this product. Feeding 3 adults I needed the size. Can roast joints of meat including making great crackling on pork (if you like that) so saves loads of messing about with oven etc rather have this on work surface than microwave. Was concerned about lift of lid under the top cupboard but no worries it sort of goes back to lift so does not need loads of room to lift lid fully. Really easy to use and everything I tried was on time or early so overcooked a couple of things as getting used to it. You need to get what is right for you and the size of your family. I love 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.

No hand book/recipe book
I have worked out how to cook the easy stuff but really needed help with suggestions, air frying, baking etc. I don’t think I am able to make the most of this item without help. I shouldn’t have to experiment, Ninja should give at least a recipe book with instructions. I know you have an online manual but this is cumbersome and it’s hard to find anything without trawling though all the pages (which keep jumpng btw) Even if you gave the option to print the manual it would be useful. This is a relatively new way of cooking and should come with better instructions.
Bloody amazing!! It is big so you need to make sure you have space for it but that’s the only downside. The grill is like having a bbq indoors without all the faff and the airfryer does what it should. Nothing I’ve not managed to cook as yet! Some before and after photos been included.
Perfect addition to the kitchen!
I was a bit wary of buying an air fryer at first, in case it wasn’t as great as everyone was making them out to be. After all the fuss everyone was making over them, I decided I had to try and I was not disappointed at all. The air fryer is now used daily by the family, multiple times a day. I would highly recommend everyone to get one and indulge in the many recipes you can make in a much healthier way!
Good quality but...
Overall I would give the ninja food grill 4.5 stars you may ask why? well.. I use to have a breville grill which had two advantages that this ninja does not have and that is you could see the food whilst it was cooking with the ninja you have to keep lifting up the lid to check to what’s going on. The second thing is the ninja does smoke slightly especially when grilling something like burgers.
A very positive aspect for me though is the ninja is well made and the grill plate and inner dishes are of exceedingly high quality non stick and I cannot see them peeling the future which most other makes do including the breville i had before. Plus they come up well either by dishwashing or hand cleaning and the remnants of food just slide off easily. So all in all very happy with this item just have to open the kitchen window if cooking burgers.
Not sure how i managed without one !!
I use this Air fryer/Grill almost daily, would struggle without it now to be honest. Only thing is the air fryer basket can be a bit annoying to clean, it is easy to get build up. Might clean better in a dish washer (i dont have one) so i have to let it soak then attack it with the cleaning brush (supplied) and i never feel that its fully clean. In saying that i would still recommend buying one 100 times over.
A really good product!
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!
This is a brilliant addition to my kitchen. It does everything Ninja advertises with ease. Cooking times have to be adjusted from regular recipes because it’s so powerful but I find it really simple to use and not difficult to clean. The probe for cooking meat is a welcome gadget as it cuts out guesswork on when something has reached the ” safe” internal temperature and it stores in a compartment at the side of the machine when not in use.
My only grumble is that you need cupboard or shelf space to store things ( from all ninjas) as not everything fits inside. If you’re airfrying you have to remove the grill plate and vice versa, similarly both items don’t fit inside at the same time do one or the other has to be stored elsewhere. However that’s a small annoyance for a great kitchen appliance. It compliments my 9 in 1 foodie perfectly.
Really impressed
Love this Ninja combi grill and air fryer. Used it a few times now and it’s easy to use, easy to clean and cooks food perfectly.
Not used the bake or dehydrate functions yet, but definitely plan too.
The grill function creates those lovely chargrill lines on food and tastes delicious.
Can hold to cook 8 sausages or 4 large Chicken breasts at a time.
Highly recommend this great product.
It is rather a large piece of equipment, if you have small kitchen counter tops, or limited space, you may find this on the large side.
Beautifuly cooked chicke
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.
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.
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!

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!
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.
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
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.
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.
Must have!!!!!!
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
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.
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

good
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
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!

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.
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.
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.

Superb bit of Ki
I have no dislikes, it’s a great way to do grilled Chicken Breasts and it makes superb chips, it knocks our Tefal Actifry out the park and it does so much more. Really glad I bought it.
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.
Easy, convient superb worth every penny
Once you are used to it, it’s amazing. Turkey crown comes so moist, best ever.
Chunky chips yum.
Cant fault i
One of the best things I have brough
I am using my main oven less and less since I purchased this Ninja , It is one of the best things I have brought , It cuts the cooking time down and that means I save on my electric , Definitely will pay for it self in time as I am saving money on me electric bills
It is a nice design and easy to use.
It’s easy to use and can cook healthier foods you love with the air frye
The best air frye
Purchased this to replace a standard air fryer this is so easy to use and is really easy to keep clean. But does more than air fry.
Great produc
I just love it. It is great. And everything I prepare tastes great. My son says his dad started to eat since we had received it. Either I grill or I use the air fryer, the food tastes good without using any oil. Fresh potatoe french fries also are amazing and have a great texture (crunchy outside, moist inside) without using oil. I am really happy I bought it.
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.
The ninja foodi air fryer and griil is a very versitile bit of kit great chips brilliant stakes and chicken wings
Very good sturdy products first class materials used and very good results slightly disappointed as a few days after purchase it was reduced by 50
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 !
One of the best machines I have ever bought. Takes a little time to cook everything perfect, practice makes perfect. Highly recommend
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.

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.

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
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.

Excellent!
Delivered on time, unboxed it, read the destruction’s and tried it out straight away (as it was lunchtime). Excellent no mess and food cooked perfectly. Worth every penny too.
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 !!!

Best if you have the space
I have been using air fryers for a good few years now. So when we needed a new one I was papered to spend a bit more to get something better and this fits the bill. Easier to clean more versatile and cooks quicker. Only downside it’s a bit bigge
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.
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.

Simple and well made.
Beef jerky turned out great.
Bacon crispy. Sausages evenly browned.
It has 4 settings, so is versatile. Probably won’t use the Bake setting.
Love it.
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.
I’ve been using my Ninja air grill for a week now and I’m so glad I took the plunge and bought one. I read the reviews beforehand, all of which had received a free product to test to write a review. I was a bit sceptical but as I have other Ninja products which I’ve been very pleased with, I decided to buy one. I was not disappointed. I’ve cooked many dishes in the Ninja and all have turned out very good. It’s early days yet of course but I can see its potential for the type of meals I prepare. I usually dislike cooking sausages in the conventional way because of fat splattering everywhere, no matter how careful I am. In the Ninja they cook quickly and without the mess. I’ve cooked baked potato halves and the skin is just so crispy, an effect I wouldn’t normally get in a conventional oven. Steak comes out seared and succulent. I do use my own discretion though when it comes to timing. I’ve cooked flatbread in it but that’s a work in progress as I usually cook them in a flat pan on top of the stove. I can see it working well for homemade pizzas.
As I’ve said it’s early days yet but so far I’m loving it.
Cleaning is easy too. Clean it after each use and it’s like new. The stiff brush is perfect for the grill plate. The of the size of the Ninja as mentioned in some of the reviews may be a problem for some. I stored my large toaster to make room on the counter and discovered it toasts bread and buns very well. So all in all I’m one happy customer.

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.
