Got this from a recommendation and at first scared to us it!! I joined a FB Ninja food group and saw all the fantastic things it could do and once I tried I wasn’t disappointed. It is amazing what foods it can do and how delicious they are especially from the air fryer, I know it’s expensive but we’ll worth i
We’ve had the Ninja Grill and Air Fryer for a few weeks now and so far we absolutely love it. Everything just seems to taste better and it’s super easy to clean too. I wish I bought this thing years ago!
Easy to use. The food we have cooked on it has been amazing.
Brilliant oven, have ditched my air fryer, health grill for this all in one. It didn’t disappoint. The food tastes amazing.
Very pleased with it, it cooks very well and is easy to use and keep clean too.
It is very easy to use and saves a lot of time. I love it.
Excellent product once you get to using all the different functions it’s superb with gteat be
Best piece of cooking equipment I have purchased in a long time easy to use food keeps its flavour and fast cooking
Great for steaks adds real flavour, dead easy to use and super happy with i
Brought this for the wife for Christmas (at her request – what do you take me for!?! .)
Was dubious at the price but thought fair enough. Comes with straightforward, easy instructions.
So far the results are really good – I can’t speak for the cleaning as I don’t do any of that but the quality of the food produced is exceptional. Cooking steak with the temperature probe produces perfectly cooked meat. Still more experimenting with other meats & foods but so far so good.
Very easy to use, versatile and excellent clean- up whether hand washed or dishwasher. Wouldn’t be without it now!
Would like it to have a proper starter recipe book found the book supplied not that great otherwise it is Fanta and so easy to clean.
We have been deliberating on whether to buy one of these or not for some time now and finally bit the bullet and wow, it is amazing! We used to have a Tefal actifry but we only ever did chips in it, they were lovely, don’t get me wrong but we have been experimenting with all different food groups and they are all coming out really well and soo tasty!
If you’re thinking about getting one of these machines, then go for it, i doubt you’ll regret it!
Wanted to upgrade our ninja af100 for ages, this one went into a sale and was a steal!
Cook whole chickens in it while the potatoes etc cook in our tiny oven. Has made meals for multiple people so much easier. It is heavy and needs cleaning often bu lt every comes apart easily and the brush it comes with makes the grate simple to deal with.
Fast, easy, simple
Love i
Great for all cooking needs got rid of deep oil fryer as oven chips cook really well in this good for heathy meals

Love it, it cooks a lot quicker than a conventional oven and it cooks to perfectio
GOOD ITEM VERY EASY TO USE .COOKS WELL IN A LOT LESS TIME THAN ORDINARY OVEN
So far have cooked whole small chickens, roasties, yorkshire puds, stuffing, marinaded chicken, perfect chips. In my view an excellent essential appliance for the kitchen, which will not be ending up hidden at the back of a kitchen cupboard never to used – like some kitchen gadgets I’ve bough
Needed to replace an air fryer brought for a friend so chose this as I have the same without problem
Really pleased with this air fryer. Very easy to use, cooks food well and quickly with hardly any oil. Wish I had bought one years ago.
This is the the perfect product for anybody with limited space in their kitchen. You can airfry,roast, grill, bake, reheat and dehydrate food, it also comes with an handy probe for cooking meat so it comes out just as you like it.
love my ninja, just wish i’d got one with probe but my fault for
not checking
it’s amazing, never used oven
since i got it
highly recommended
It’s so easy to use and to clean. We’ve had our best grilled steaks ever using this air fryer. At my age it’s a luxury cleaning everything at waist level. I’ve said goodbye to kneeling on the floor to clean the oven.
Absolutely love this … had just over a week and have used every day at least once. Oven not been used at all! Can’t fault it … does what it says on the box …
This is a tremendous product I just love it! Perfect results, cooks evenly and quickly and no smell . I haven’t used my oven since I’ve bought it.
I hardly use my cooker now and also if you keep on top of the cleaning the splatter disc then everything tastes perfect and easy to use.
My advice would be to buy baking sheets to catch the fat underneath to make cleaning easier.
As for cooking steaks, burgers, fish, fries, etc it’s so easy and also very quick compared to a cooker. Also its healthier. Must have item in anyones kitchen.
Brilliant, already have the ninja duo but this is another ball game . They compliment each other . My oven is almost obsolete
Fantastic up till now can’t fault it one of our better buys we hardly use our main oven now despite the price it’s money well spe
use this every day, oven put out to pasture bake and cook all meals in this love the probe not had a though piece of meat since
Just amazing everything came out so crispy and cooked to perfection and used the reheat function and it was so quick and came out like it had just been cooked. So I will be saying good buy to the microwave.
Great product. Very versatile. Makes cooking many things faster and easier and helps the kids do more on their own as a bonus!
Saves time and money as heats much quicker than an ove

Bought this after it was recommended to me. Only had it a month so still quite new to it, however not disappointed with the food I’ve cooked so far. Very easy to clean. Great buy
Brought this to use in a caravan, it’s brilliant! Can cook so many different things and it doesn’t take up much space
So I’m deeply cynical in reviews- too much smoke and mirrors out there so I held off buying one of these!
Now that I have, I’m pleased to report it’s an impressive appliance! This is the big brother of the range, and requires significant power but for short duration; hears up efficiently BUT if you’re taking to the caravan where there’s a limit on your Elec hook-up, bear in mind this absorbs around 10amps (2.3kW).
It’s ability to do crispy chips cut from potatoes rather than out of a bag is impressive! Im lookin forward to trying sweet potato wedges- and I’m confident it’ll do better than a domestic fan oven as it gets hot really quickly without building up too much steam!
The probe is also impressive- stick it in a chicken breast and it’ll cook it to perfection without overcooking.
I’ve a deep rooted dislike of the gimmick kitchen appliances you see on tv shopping channels- eg halogen ovens and mini rotisserie products! This is actually useful! If you’ve a family with teenage kids, it’s a good idea to go for a big one- I should point out it’s not particularly small or lightweight, but it’s done a good job of everything I’ve put in it so far!! I’ll report back for n the sweet potato wedges- might even take a pic!
Where do I start?!
Probably the best item I ever purchased in my entire life. So much so I got another one for my mother in law for Christmas (she wanted one ever since I got mine about a year ago – I got mine directly from Ninja but the review you are reading is technically for the one I got for my MIL bought from Amazon on Black Friday).
I cannot describe how much I love my Ninja.
I cooked every kind of meat possible. I made pulled pork, steaks, hard boiled eggs (BAKE 160C 14 minutes – you will be amazed – they wont break), fish, sea food, bacon, sausages, whole chicken (BAKE 180C 30 to 45+ minutes depending on size – pro tip: spatchcock), wings etc (every part of the chicken, pork or beef basically), halloumi.
I pretty much stopped using oven, all I need in my life is Ninja Foodi Grill.
I use it at least once a day, I cook fresh and do meal prep.
Cooking time in comparison to oven is at least 1/2 to 1/4 depending on what you are making.
My mother in law eat more variety in her diet and she enjoyed home made chips, grilled cheese sandwiches etc. She absolutely loves her Ninja too! She’s an older person living alone, she doesn’t want to waste time and energy on using an over for one person. She had no problem with set up or instructions – Ninja Foodi Grill may look a bit like spaceship but it’s actually extremely easy to use. And the results are delicious.
We both mostly wash our grill parts in dishwasher, sometimes by hand.
Never had any problem, they always wash perfectly.
There is no smoking (even from pork belly or bacon), smell, no mess.
I personally can’t see any negatives, its not any noisier than regular air fryer but so much more versatile.
Yes it is heavy, it’s not something that (I feel) you can keep in the cupboard and get it in and out all the time, you are better off to have permanent, dedicated, spot on the counter but for me this is not a negative as I use it ALL THE TIME anyway.
If I had to take just one kitchen gadget to a deserted island this would be THE ONE!
This is one of the best things I’ve brought in ages. It is so easy to use and clean. The food is cooked to perfection, comes with handy cooking instructions for variety of different foods.
I absolutely love my ninja foodi grill, been wanting one for ages and so glad I took the plunge.
It’s revolutionised the way I cook all my meals and I haven’t used my conventional oven since receiving it.
Highly recommend anyone who hasn’t already got one to go for it, you won’t regret it.
Amazing product, even more than I’ve expected.
Very easy to clean, just pop the accessories out and out in the dish washer.
The flat plate/griddle is great for making pancakes as the heat is evenly distributed and the heat is regulated.
Grill is actually smokeless as promised and the air fryer is excellent.
Wanted one of these for a while, never knew which model to choose. So glad I picked this one! Easy to use, easy to clean! Excellent well worth the expense!
i honestly cannot recommend this product enough! absolutely brilliant! highest quality and functional. i have owned this product for 6 months and its amazing. also i have purchased the dual drawer fryer which is also awesome
Bought this to replace an acti fry, so no surprises this is so much better. Saying that this is a great gadget. How long it last and maintenance will yet be determined
The ninja Foodi is easy to understand the functions and how to use them.
Food comes out perfect and very tasty.
Air Fryer and Grill work well , baked a cake but it wasn’t a 100% successful but still edible, going to try agai
Don’t see the point in heat up time for air frie
So easy to use, can make so many different things in it, food tastes different to how it might via different cooking methods, can’t recommend it enough. So glad we bought this, the quality is fantastic too and very easy to clean we use it most days now. Looking forward to trying more different foods in i
This Ninja foodie health grill is just brilliant, with its different functions all of which I haven’t used yet but the chips I cooked came out wonderfully crispy and cooked so quickly. We have found it easy to clean as well.
It is quite big so you need to have the space for it, mine stands on top of my hob.
I bought this to replace a broken tefal airfreight. This is great as you can cook a variety of foods in it, plus the pans are more sturdy + easily cleaned.
You need several different inserts to enable you to do all the recipes some are included some are not. This could be a problem if short of storage. Otherwise it’s a great bit of equipment that allows you to produce so much great food with hardly any oil.
This was bought to cut down on electricity due to only being two of us now with a large range oven, this does it all, best but this yea
Great addition to kitchen, I don’t have to put on my big ove
I can’t believe I’ve not bought one before. I didn’t want a fat fryer in the house but bought this instead and the chips taste just the same.
It cooks so many different things easily and quickly.
Definitely recommend getting one.
This is the 2nd one I have purchased (this one for my son at uni) as it’s so good, use constantly as so quick and cooks things so well, he was missing ours so got in Black Friday with 50 off. Win win.
Absolutely brilliant it cooks food in half the time as a conventional oven and is far more versatile even basic cheese toasties are cooked way better than any toasting gadget frozen croissants 10 mins ,chicken breasts are cooked in about 15 mins I’ve bought one for my daughter and son-in-law for a wedding gift and they are very impressed now my other daughter has bought one as she too is equally impressed
So if asked would I recommend
Yes I most definitely would
So easy to use. Food delicious and very tasty. Whether it’s steaks, chicken or just chips, so tasty without the cooking smells around the house. Cooking a whole chicken or Lamb joint next.
Really love this. It cooks the meat perfectly and airfrying the chips tastes so much better. It also comes with a recipe book aswell which is grea
Bought this, as parents’ over broke down. Found that it has coped with all cooking requirements to date. My only suggestion to Ninja is to have dial controls instead of buttons, as my elderly parents find it difficult to press the small buttons. Would recommend this food grill because it is straightforward to use and long term will save on electricity bills as food cooks very quickly.
I absolutely love my Ninja it cooks very quickly the food is always amazing and very hot. It’s easy to use and clean up is easy either by hand or dishwasher. Fully recommend Ninja every time. Go get one.
We use this most days Frozen Chios are great as are healthy roast potatoes. Sausages cook in 10 minutes no fat splash. All parts go in the dishwasher. It’s quite big but we have a space in our drawer to put away. Not used our oven’s grill since purchasing. Great if you have a fussy eater for doing separate meals
Brilliant for cooking steaks to perfection in a very short amount of time with all the flavour locked in. Roast potatoes, grilled Mediterranean veg, crispy chips, chicken to name a few. Make sure you only use non-stick utensils and clean after every use. Comes with a handy brush for cleaning the griddle which is useful.

Bought this machine and wondered if it would join the rest of the machines on the side I don’t use but how wrong could I be. I use it every day. It grills to perfection and the air fry chips are to die for. Healthier too. I have even used it to bake so not putting my big oven on. Certainly recommend this machine.
Quite versatile. I’ve been cooking pretty much every thing l can on it.
Just getting use to the recommended cooking times but I’ve found the Ninja cooks very well, and is quite easy to clean, I put the Grill,and Roasting Pans in the dishwasher when cool and just wipe the outside of the Ninja.
It’s pretty good and I’ll use this a lot.
My Wife is in love with this device, it makes dinner times less stressful and so much quicker than using the oven!
It seems like a gimmick, I can 100% say it is not!
Used First machine now for a year would not be without it bought another for spare in case of break down. The heat up time and cooking time is fast and saves a fortune in power because of this. Very highly recommended.We also have ninja foodi and the smaller model of this one.
Amazing! I cook chicken and lamb chops, reheat pizzas and all sorts! this is saving me a fortune as I no longer need to order takeouts as much as I can make the food taste twice as good at home.
I will add however the non-stick does wear away after just a few uses but its expected I guess as it hits some seriously high temperatures!.
in terms of size, this will be sufficient for a adult family of 4 MAX. it will fit 1 and a half medium chicken if cut into halves. It can fit 1 large chicken cut into quarters. It can fit 8 small lamb chops comfortably.
so overall size isn’t the best but the quality is well worth the compromise. This is a luxury A* product, please dont compare this to products sub 200.
This is the best thing ever,cooks perfect steak to your liking grilled lamb chops are amazing using the ninja grill, very spacious to cook on it roasts air fry’s bakes the amount of stuff you can use this for is amazing it cooks so much quicker than a conventional oven the only downside is the bleeping noise it makes wud be good if you could have a volume control
Near smoke free even when you fry a whole packet of bacon. Really nice grill markings on steak. Reheated left overs taste nicer than freshly made – crispy as opposed to soggy after microwaving. Game changer. Difficult to clean the inside of the lid, doing my best right now but will see how it goes long term
This is an amazing appliance. Easy to use and to clean and saves work tops from grease splatters.
I have not used the dehydrator function yet but the other functions cook to perfection. I would not be without it. Highly recommend.
You definitely get what you pay for. It’s not cheap but you will definitely get your monies worth.
I love it and whole heartedly recommend it.

I have an ever growing family of Ninjas. It is a testament to their quality and wide range of uses that keeps me coming back for more. This one is no exception. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect.
This is the best thing I have bought in a very long time. Makes my life so much easier, especially with the kids. Don’t have to heat up the whole oven to put a tiny burger or chips
I don’t even need to say anything else. The one and only purchase you’d ever need in a place is this. It’s made my brand new oven 100% redundant. Awesome piece of kit!
Brilliant works like a dream, Iv grilled, roasted, and baked all turned out with great results, just to leave and let it do it’s thing is great and to be able to do something else at the same time, next job a cheese and onion pie, should have bought one earlie
Great machine to have in the kitchen along with my other ninja products…. Easy to use great results…… Love the probe when cooking meat…….. Great feature…….
What a fantastic multi function grill and cooking appliance. So easy to use and the quality of grill, there are so many great thing’s you can cook, makes food tasty and healthier.
I am very happy with my Ninja air fryer makes fab roast potatoes nice crispy chips . Tried to bake a cake in it didn’t work very well , it says bake but no instructions what u can bake . Bought this used it once then the next 2days it was 40 cheaper I was gutted .. would recommend it .
Arrived well in time , one great thing about this Ninja amongst all the other things it incorporates is the Probe . No more guessing if food is cooked , the machine is so good .
I love it food is amazing, forgot that it was pre owned” As it looked almost brand New, So pleased about that’ plus it saves cleaning my oven !!” Which I hate doing
Thank you so much, one happy customer “
I had one of the early air fryers and it was rubbish. Expensive even when on offer, but this was a gift. The non-stick is good quality and I’m very pleased with it.
Excellent machine.
It has replaced the oven for cooking chilled/frozen food in half the time using the air fryer.
Using the probe, it is big enough to roast a shoulder of lamb or a medium whole chicken and it is cooked to perfection.
Will try out the grill next!
Easy to use on a daily basis, both grill and air fryer are in use every day. The grill, pan and filter go in the dishwasher and clean up like new every time. The food is always cooked nicely and chicken is always moist and full of flavour.
Pleased with this, so easy to use and clean, controls easy to navigate and set and everything I’ve cooked so far has been spot on, loving the grill setting
This ninja is just awesome the best kitchen item I have ever bough
Its a very sturdy piece of equipment that took a bit of getting used to, but I now love it. Food cooks quickly and it’s really versatile, you just need to take care with the temperatures as it can burn very quickly if it’s set to high. Additional cooking dishes for it are very expensive to purchase, so I think I might be improvising.
It is easy to clean. Let it cool then either take out the main tray and the basket or griddle drop in the filter fill with hot water and soap and leave. Rinse and clean with the brush. I clean after each use where any oil is released. Don’t usually need to after cooking a pizza. Pizza is quick and easy. Take a pitta bread two teaspoons of Tesco pizza topping sprinkle with pre-grated cheese and whatever fine chopped mushroom pepper left over sausage ham thin slice tomato, sprinkle with a little Italian herb mix and cook. You can make it during the heat up cycle! Roast potatoes chips carrots all great with minimal fat.
The other feature that attracted me is the grill function. This sets a higher temperature than air frying and it uses the special griddle plate. Tried sausages twice perfect and didn’t need to turn them.
So I find the controls much easier and more logical to use. Much better than preset buttons for chips chicken etc. The quality is very high and the internal basket and griddle plate coatings much higher quality. It is twice the price but I can strongly recommend despite this.
