Highly Recommend!

I went through 2 expensive “indoor grills” that cooked well but smoked & smelled up the house. The grills were hard to clean. Watched many TV ads for this product. Have not tried out the air fryer yet but the grill feature is fantastic! No smoke, no smell and easy to clean. Great buy.

Very Pleased Customer

I really love cooking with the air fryer and the grill. I tried baking but the top on my cake came out alittle dark on the top and had to cover the top so it wouldn't get darker, but it came out OK and taste was good. Have not tried the dehydrator yet maybe later. But felt it was a great buy. I told my sister to get one too.

Faulty device

I purchased this unit in mid November and here we are in December and this product has not been working properly for about a week. It preheats, it says add food and it goes back to the preheating process. I grilled my chicken for 20 minutes, flipped half way through and it never changed from preheating. Same thing happened in the Air Crisp setting. I called Ninja to get a replacement and the lady was telling me her unit did the same thing and stated this is normal, trying to convince me there is no problem. I told her if she was ok with her unit doing this that that was her choice but not mine. Then she said that if they sent me another product that more than likely I will experience the same thing. This tells me the call center knows there is an issue. I will be returning this ASAP. Too bad because I liked the concept and I would have taken a replacement if it wasn’t obvious that there is an issue.

On the fence

It worked as described, but I don't have that much counter real estate to give up for this unit, and it was extremely heavy to keep moving. After one use I noticed that the finish was starting to come off on the edge of the inner pan. Also when you lift the lid it had a tendency to tip back and that made me uneasy. For those reasons I returned it, hopefully a newer model will have improvements and I would try again.

FANTASTIC COOKER!!!

Bought this for my husband and he is absolutely in love with his Ninja Food Indoor Grill. Everything that he has cooked in it has really been nothing short of perfection. Steaks, Chops, French Fries, Fish have all been wonderful. You get crispy when you need crispy, you get get tender when you need tender. He uses it every chance he gets. I only regret not buying it sooner. WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!! Thank you Ninja people for this super appliance it should be in every kitchen.

Love it!

Loved it! I have been using it every morning to bake 2 crescent rolls for breakfast. My mom is 80 years old with Alzheimers and getting her to eat is a big challenge. The fact that I can basically set it and forget until it beeps to let me know it is ready is what I look most. I’ve also used the grill and air fryer attachments and it works like a charm. Still haven’t use the dehydrator function yet,

Good but not great

I compared this unit to the Power Smokeless Grill, my outdoor BBQ, and just my stove top cooking bacon and spare ribs. Smoke wise the Ninja did way better than the Power Smokeless Grill on everything. The Ninja produced a ton of smoke with the Bacon, but very little with the ribs. Sadly the Ninja didn't produce that much less smoke than when I cooked the items on my stove top. The Ninja is also HUGE and heavy and either the air fryer basket or the grill has to be stored seperate from the unit so it takes up a TON of space. The Ninja does cook well once you figure out the times and temp. The internal space for grilling isn't that large and the grill has weird handles that get in the way. You can grill a couple of 11 oz steaks but little more. The cleanup of the unit is easy, but the splatter screen up top doesn't clean well and gets dirty easily. Given its high price, huge size, weight, and required storage space I don't feel the unit is worth it. I'll go with a rigded cast iron pan and gas stove and get the same effect with a bit more smoke, but not enough to care about.

WORKS GREAT !!!!

My Ninja 5-in-1 works great !!! I have grilled hamburgers, rib eye steak, asparagus, chicken and New York strip steak on it. I have air fried frozen French fries and a few other things. It worked GREAT each time I used it. I have recommended it to many of my friends.

First time out was good!

After really working past the price, I bought the AG301 two days ago. It came with a decent variety of accessories too. I was pleasantly surprised at how it cooked my 2 strip steaks, which perfectly done. They were a bit thicker than the inch and a 1/4”, so I kept turning them over and dropped the temp a bit the get them finished so they were not over done. I did trim the excess fat off too as instructed and that was helpful too. But, they were great!

Great Purchase

We have had our grill for about 6 months and we now hardly grill outside any more as this unit is so convenient and cleans up easily. We use the unit 2-3 times a week and have used the grill and air crisp features. The only drawback is size but for the two of us it works perfectly.
