Do you feel something like this can replace outdoor grilling for you in some, if not all, of your grilling needs? If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Foodi NeverStick Pan comparison video, too: https://youtu.be/K8BRLhFABh4
if you buy a regular air fryer, you cannot even see the heating element so you don't even clean it
I have this one and it did not come with a thermometer!!!!! That makes me mad!
The bottom is really a drip tray not a cooking tray.
Great review! Really appreciate how you addressed every function, as well as concerned when buying a small appliance like this.
Thanks for your honesty about the cleaning aspect of the top part.
Hi, Which one is better?Which do you prefer? ninja551or cosori583? Which machine cooks pizza, lasagna and sweets better?Please help me choose
Fantastic review! Thanks, so much!
Awesome review brotha. Very detailed 👌
I have Ninja products. All are great. Workhorses. I have an earlier model still going strong.i use it all the time. Beats heating a huge oven for a one person meal.
I have had this since 2021 then it stop working. Called customer service gave me a new unit for 70 $. Very good review. I agree with everything.
I cook everything in that grill
Can it fit a 2 kg roast pork?
Great review. Just subscribed. Question… I'm looking for an indoor grill that does a great, easy job with burgers and steaks (really just those two things). Sear marks, ideally. If you were to do a blind taste test, you might not know it was from an indoor grill (if that's even possible). Oh, another big criteria… very little smoke. I saw this tonight and it looked perfect… right up until you pointed out how it's impossible to clean that top portion. Being able to clean something is a high priority for me. I've got a lot of Breville products and have looked at their smart grill, too (a bit pricey, but if it's the best one out there… I'll get it). Have you come across an indoor grill that A. does an amazing job and B. is easy to clean? I don't really need it to do anything else. I've got a great air fryer, pressure cooker, etc.,. Thanks.
hey great review! I have a hard time cooking chicken breast, do you think would this make it easier or a ninja air fryer? to get it perfectly cooked
That air fryer basket should be bigger
I'm a 55 YO bbq grilling fanatic my entire life. This little grill is amazing. Everything has faults if you look deep enough. This is a keeper! Get one!
Aqui no Brasil passa do seus 5 mil 😢
Does ninja have a recipe app ? Who still uses these booklets ?
I just bought this last 2 weeks, still dont get use to it.
Ok Joe could you put some water inside the machine and turn it on so that it steam cleans itself basically and then wipe out the hard to reach spots? Just a thought. Or maybe you could boil some water in a cup and then let the cup inside so that the steam penetrates the grease without even turning it on. Either way you would think that would make cleaning a little bit easier.
Great review. Have you found a cooked that you would recommend over this one for the indoor grilling type cooking?
The main 'deal breaker' I can see is the depth of the pan, it really should have been a bit more deeper
Measure dB from where a person would be standing, not directly next to the fan. Sound intensity obeys an inverse square law, so even just 1m away is way more quiet than what you suggest.
Background music most annoying 😢
Спасибо!
I cant get the ultimate system in Europe but cant i just only buy the attachments discs separately and use it wit mit blender ? The pitcher is exactly the same . I live ninja products but the put out new products at a too fast pace . That makes you feel outdated pretty fast .
I absolutely LOVE my new grill. I received it on time and was undamaged https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . It was very easy to put together. I did it in less than 2 hours. However, there is one picture wrong in the instructions, but I had read the previous reviews before I bought this and knew what to expect. My last girl was a Charbroil grill and my friend and I did it together and it took us about 3 hours to do that one. I didn't want to write this review before I used it and I have only used it once but it was great. The thermometer worked perfectly, the grill ignited immediately (however, I will warn you in the instructions it does state to turn the knob slowly too high to ignite and you do need to turn it SLOWLY. If you turn it too fast it doesn't ignite). I will say the Cuisinart grill is a better made grill than my Char Broil was. And, my fiance loves the fact that it has a bottle opener on it. You definitely get your money's worth on this purchase. Plus, once you receive your grill, Cuisinart will send you a flier stating they will send you a free gift if you will post a review. Good or bad. They truly want to know how you like your grill. My gift shows I will receive a grill scraper, which I will definitely be able to use. Thank you Cuisinart!!
Thanks for an excellent review. As you wrap up I was wondering if you would recommend a similar item considered an upgrade from this Ninja. You said this was a step up or upgrade from a George Foreman grill but I'd like to know what's a better recommendation above this Ninja. Thanks!
I purchased one last month, the BEST ever. Everything has come out just the way I wanted. I LOVE MINE. And the cleaning is awesome, no problems here.
Some of the best reviews on youtube, very subjective and honest. I know its like comparing apples and oranges but which would you pick between this grill and the foodie pressure cooker pro with smart lid?
A very good informative review. Thank you.
Can l make a lasagna on the baking tray?
I thank you for your honesty in your video. I just purchased this Ninja after 2 Kalorik Air Fryer MAXX Ovens ceasing to work at the 18 month point. I need to say they are SO much harder to clean than the Ninja!! I feel like I'm dreaming with the ease of the Ninja clean up in comparison. I'm very happy with my purchase as it is quieter, smaller, smokeless, better ease and results of food cooking than what I have had for 3 years. I wish I had switched sooner.
I love mine, pretty much replacing my oven and stove. Just one other drawback is the inability to roast a whole chicken or leg of lamb. The inside clearance is just not enough, even just sitting on the bottom of the roasting pan.
I’ve used mine almost everyday. I love it.
Can you bake a pizza in it? Or cake stuff that needs an oven?
I noticed by the mesh filter the metal is very sharp. I had to handle that very careful so as not to cut my fingers when wiping it clean around the heat unit and surrounding area.
Excellent reviewer… clear and concise. ❤❤❤😊
😮 your channel is amazing! Thank you for sharing these recipes/reviews with us.
An absolutely excellent job demonstrating this product..Thank you.
I think it’s a hit!
Thank you for including cleaning this device and your honesty about it in your review. It seems most don’t. Being difficult to clean is a deal breaker for me and I was ready to take the plunge before I saw your review. Very good job on the review.
I have a question. I was recently reached out to by a company I had reviewed a product over and they offered me to be on their affiliate program. I’m not familiar with all that, but when people say “ I was sent this” do most people receive stuff to review for free or is it not mentioned they paid for it.. I know sponsors I think are always given for free just to review but I’m not sure how that works
