Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo, use Opened or Closed, Air Fry, Dehydrate & More, Pro Power Grate, Flat Top, Crisper, Smart Thermometer, Black
NINJA'S MOST POWERFUL GRILL: 500F independently powered grill grate creates direct, edge-to-edge high-heat searing for better char-grilled results. (Based on grill grate's direct heating element Versus FG500-series grills.)
12” BBQ GRIDDLE: flat top bbq griddle cooks foods grills can't and interlocks with the grate to harness its direct high heat. Precise temperature controls allow for fast, even cooking without hot or cold spots.
HOOD UP OR HOOD DOWN COOKING: Keep the hood down to add cyclonic air for fast, even, high-heat cooking, surround searing, crisping, and melting. Keep the hood up for intense high heat searing and flavors with direct bottom heat only.
SMART COOK SYSTEM PLUS THERMOMETER: The Foodi Smart Thermometer enable you to achieve the perfect doneness from rare to well with 4 smart protein settings & 9 customizable doneness levels. Do it all at a touch of a button with no more guesswork & no more over or under cooking.
UP TO 75% LESS FAT: Air fry crisp with up to 75% less fat than deep frying (tested against hand-cut, deep-fried French fries), using the included 4-qt crisper basket.
7 COOKING FUNCTIONS: Grill, BBQ Griddle, Air Crisp, Roast, Bake, Broil and Dehydrate functions enabled by the wide temperature range.
XL FAMILY-SIZED CAPACITY: Grill grate fits 6 steaks, mains, and sides at the same time, and more. Flat top BBQ griddle allows you to cook a whole platter of nachos, 4 sandwiches, or 6 pancakes.
SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM: the combination of our chef recommended grilling practices, a temperature-controlled grill grate, splatter shield, and cool-air zone reduces smoke, keeping it out of the kitchen.
EASY TO CLEAN: PTFE/PFOA-free, nonstick ceramic-coated powered grill grate, crisper basket, and bbq griddle plate are dishwasher safe.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro Griddle & Grill, 9" x 12" Grill Grate, 12" Flat Top BBQ Griddle, 4-qt. Crisper Basket, Foodi Smart Thermometer & Quick Start Guide.

The grill plate is sloped a bit and very, very non sticky.
Used it a few times. The grill function with the lid open is very handy when adding cowboy butter to your steaks. Gets hot enough to put nice grill marks on it. Griddle fits over the grate and has ridges that lift it up so it doesn't slope as much. This model can use the bottom heater and upper to cook faster.

Ninja Foodi XL Pro Grill & Griddle (verified owner)–
This Has Renewed My Interest In Cooking
I cannot say enough good things about the Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill/Griddle Combo.
This little gadget has given me a renewed love of cooking. About 3 years ago I purchased a Blackstone Flat Top Griddle, Electric Smoker, and an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Combo (offset smoker, charcoal grill, propane grill, all with a side burner too). I liked my outdoor kitchen but soon realized I wasn't using them often as I thought I would due to extreme hot and cold weather temps and the hassle of cleaning up. This is what led to my purchase of the Ninja OG701 7-in-1 Outdoor Electric Grill & Smoker. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy the Ninja Foodi for indoor cooking.
I've had the Ninja Foodi XL 7-in-1 for 2 ½ weeks and used the griddle 3 times, air crisp option 2 times, grill 4 times and broil once. I consider myself to be a good cook. My cooking expertise leans toward Thai, Mexican, and Indian cuisines. However, I tend to get in a hurry when frying over easy eggs and break the yolks. Plus I gave up cooking steaks years ago because I hardly ever can get them Medium Rare.
Everything I have made on the Foodi has turned out perfectly. Grilled Salmon and Ribeye Steak were restaurant quality. The slipperiness of the griddle plate makes over easy eggs a breeze with in tact runny yolks. All pancakes were evenly cooked at the same time regardless of where they were on the griddle. Air Crisp zucchini fries and eggplant slices were delightfully crunchy and tasty. The baked (then broiled) meatloaf was slightly crispy on the outside yet moist on the inside. Baked skinless chicken thighs were done to perfection and very juicy.
The temperature probe is fairly accurate, though my Thermapen has always been spot on so I tend to use that when cooking something super fussy. When you set a temp and insert the probe, the Ninja shuts off as soon as the programmed temp is reached. It then reminds you to let the food rest.
After cooking,comes clean up. Nothing could be easier than cleaning the Ninja Foodi. The grill, griddle, and air crisp basket come clean with a sprayer faucet. Seriously, no wiping or scrubbing – a strong spray removes everything within 15 to 20 seconds. Then a quick wipe with a soapy sponge or dishcloth gets rid of any residual greasiness. I see no reason why I'd run them through the dishwasher. I also remove the splatter screen and wipe both sides with a soapy sponge then rinse under the sprayer – it still looks brand new.
The only critique I have is that the included recipe pamphlet seems to have incorrect cook times on many recipes. I've seen other reviews stating the same thing…cook times are too long. I'd suggest always using an instant read thermometer or probe for greater accuracy when cooking.
All in all, I'd strongly suggest getting a Ninja grill, or get two like I did.

Easy!
I've been using a different air fryer (I won't name the brand) for over a year. It's the toaster oven style and is nice looking but just never seemed to cook things easily or correct. They would come out with burnt areas or not fully cook the inside.
After being a bit fed up and wondering what the hype was around this air fryer with the smart features I dove into review after of review and video after video. After a week of looking at it and all these new competitors, I decided on this one.
There are a few very nice features on this that make it "Easy".
1. The non stick coating on the cooking surfaces makes for a super easy clean up.
2. The inside is fairly easy to wipe down after each use. I can't get all the way in the very top of the nooks and crevices so time will tell how that goes.
3. The heated bottom plate and air from the top makes this cook evenly and quickly.
4. The temperature sensor really makes cooking chicken and steaks so easy that I can just walk out of my kitchen and do other things till it beeps at me to flip. EASY!
We have used this around 20+ times so far and at this point I am very happy. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a con or two.
1. The tray is slanted to the front to allow the grease to fill up the tray and because the ribs on the grate go in that direction it makes some food want to slide in. I would like to see a cover over that. The cover can have holes and be removable or you could just put the ribs the opposite way and put some channels in them to guide the grease.
2. Time will tell but it's very hard to reach the very top of it. If somehow they could engineer it to remove those pieces or provide a tool to scrub around that area it would be nice.

SAD NEWS!!
The surface where the buttons are and all the selections is cracking horribly. It's probably a matter of time before it seperates from the rest of the faceplate.
It's still cooking as well as it was, but I wish it was a bit easier to clean off around the fan area.

Broke after 1 month
Item worked for a little over one month then broke for no reason. Shows E7 in display and doesn’t function: Seller refused to repair, replace or refund. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER! Unless you folding mind losing a large amount of money on faulty items.
