It's rare to find a kitchen appliance that truly does it all. Even rarer is one that actually lives up to those claims. If you're looking to level up in the kitchen, you won't find a better companion than the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill.
I put this six-in-one powerhouse to the test and I can confirm that it does not disappoint. Yes, it's an indoor grill, but it can also air fry, bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate virtually anything.

Getting the grill set up was a breeze. With a quick rinse of the removable parts in warm, soapy water and a look through the manual, I had it up and running. I was especially impressed by its size — at 15.75 inches long by 16.54 inches wide, it's not too big or too small — and the way it didn't overwhelm my counter space.
I started by grilling some asparagus, and was thrilled with how quickly (and perfectly!) it did the job. The Ninja Foodi's Cyclonic Grilling Technology rapidly circulates hot air around the food, giving it that perfect char on the outside while keeping it tender on the inside.
And, yes, it's 'smart' — which means even if you know nothing about cooking you can probably make this work for you. It features an intuitive display with four protein settings and six doneness levels, significantly simplifying food prep.
It also has a built-in thermometer to take the guesswork out of your efforts. Issues like undercooked and overcooked are things of the past. No more poking, prodding, or frantic taste-testing to make sure dinner's done!
After making the asparagus, I tossed in some fries to test out the Air Crisp function. They came out golden and crispy with minimal oil — perfection literally within minutes and with the added bonus of less grease and fat.
Ninja designed the Foodi with advanced Smoke Control Technology, which is huge for an indoor grill. There wasn't a trace of lingering smoke in the kitchen, so there was no need to crack open the window to clear it out.
If you're incredibly busy and find yourself pressed for time to prepare meals from scratch, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL can make your life so much simpler.
While it easily handles weeknight staples like grilled chicken, salmon, and vegetables, shoppers also rave about its versatility.
'My dream machine,' says one reviewer. 'I LOVE it. It cooks everything perfectly, it's so easy to use, and importantly it's easy to clean as well. I have baked brownies, roasted a small roast, baked lasagna, grilled ribs, and air fried just about everything. Excellent quality.'
With enough room to accommodate up to six steaks at once, it can comfortably feed a family or make meal prepping for the week a breeze. Plus, the removable grill grate, crisper basket, and cooking pot are all dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is equally easy.
The price is just right for a device that brings restaurant-quality results directly to your home kitchen. Don't forget to enter code WELCOME20 to snag your Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill for an extra $20 off!
