I bought this as a returned "excellent condition" item.1. Box was damaged but the product packaging was not open. There's one small dent and if I didn't tell anyone they wouldn't ever find it.2. Very high quality piece of cookware, very solid.3. So easy to clean we used it 2-3 times ish a week and several times a day on the weekends. We haven't used our grill in over a month now and we grilled a lot.4. Smoke level varies depending on what your cooking and how long. When I say smoke varies it's not even close to what a outdoor grill is. The temperature settings are adjustable and the airfryer option selection are great but you need to watch it and you'll learn the amount of time you need to cook to your taste.5. Easy to setup and instructions are very clear and precise6. Stickiness is not a factor, depending on if you overcook you may spend a little more time cleaning7. Set it and go do something else after you've learned what settings you prefer. The overall functionality is the best for a Ninja airfryer.

WOW this is the the best cooker ever. Not just price wise but it truly is a smokeless device that does nit heat up your kitchen! We have used the grill, bake, air crisp, roast and broil functions with temp probe on some. All of which work flawlessly. The cooking guide that comes with it is comprehensive and complete. The cook times for us were half the time shown in the book but cooked thoroughly and perfectly. The small footprint makes it perfect for smaller kitchens and almost 0 heat outside the ninja cooker. Hot summer days are when you don't want cook with your oven, The energy savings for using Ninja vs Oven cooking is that it uses lower power consumption and saves on air-condition by containing the heat,

tl;dr: Good device. Worth getting in place of a normal air fryer due to its greater flexibility. It is, however, still a convection device. Keep in mind when cooking things.This is a first impression so far only using it to cook a few things so far, but my experience has been great - if with a few caveats. For full disclosure, I bought this with my own money and while it was about $30 off. I received what appeared by all accounts to be a brand new unit with that new appliance smell, complete with burning off excess plastics on first use.First things first: this is a fancy convection oven. It's a convection oven that gets to very high temperatures and has very strong air circulation, but it is - ultimately - a convection oven. Unlike a proper grill, this has a fan that is constantly circulating air which means it will cook things faster. Keep this in mind when using it and make adjustments to prevent overcooking your food. As a general rule, the recommended times that come with the device are to make something Well Done. For this purpose, they're accurate, but you probably will want to cut a few minutes off of those times for anything less than that.The device itself is straight forward to use. It has fairly standard oven/air fryer controls, but arranged a little differently. There are different functions that effectively change whether the air circulates in the unit or not, and there are macro temperature controls (low, med, high, max) that can be fine tuned from there. Time is only in intervals of whole minutes, which is slightly inconvenient, but Fine.When initially starting up and preheating, this thing is fairly loud. It doesn't stay loud for long, but can probably wake up a light sleeper in a small apartment. Probably not a huge issue, but one to be mindful of when using for the first time.I've cooked london broil and salmon with this using the Grill option (regular circulation) with the recommended temperature settings (High and Max accordingly.) As I mentioned before, be mindful of how much you want to cook something. The recommended settings always err toward Well Done. As an example: in the case of salmon, I cooked it for eight minutes the first time and it was just a touch more cooked than preferred. At seven minutes, it was perfect.As for the steak, don't make the same mistake I did the first time and keep opening the grill if you have a standard meat thermometer. All of that hot air is just going to escape and it'll take some time to get back up to temperature again. In my case, I was too paranoid about the doneness of the steak that I ended up slightly overcooking it (medium-well instead of medium-rare) due to having to bring the unit back to temperature in order for it to cook the center properly. In short: get a quick read thermometer, or just follow the guide line of shaving a minute or two off of recommended cook time based on desired doneness.As for the results, they still tasted great. The grill surface does get hot enough to make a nice sear into the meat. Like any convection oven, the circulating air keeps the food from drying out and the cuts of meat were left very juicy and tasty.Cleaning is easy for as long as the ceramic coating lasts. This is the same caveat as literally anything with a Teflon (or similar) coating. If you're especially paranoid, let everything soak in soap+water before cleaning it off. The brush it comes with does the job, but any sort of dish scrubbing brush (NOT WIRE PADS) should be just as good.Overall, my first impressions of this appliance are great. It is far easier, quicker, tastier, and more convenient than frying off or sticking something in the oven to broil. My wife and I have replaced the air fryer in our kitchen with this since it serves both purposes. If anything changes, I'll update this review.Update: We’ve cooked a larger variety of things including turkey legs, hamburgers, smaller wings and so on. Everything remains great. It’s been very easy to clean as well with no signs of chipping on the finish. I will say I do hand clean everything, but it shouldn’t make much difference in the dishwasher.

So far, a fine kitchen tool. For my purposes, better than an air fryer. Easy to clean, but read the fine print. You must clean the screen, otherwise you get MAJOR smoke. Ninja warns about this. They also give a list of recommended oils. Pay attention.

This is the best air fryer I've ever had. Large capacity, quick to heat or cook, crisps perfectly. The grill feature works perfectly and I've cooked steak, chicken, sausage, wings, etc with everything coming out great. I played around with the timing, especially on the steaks. You learn after trying it a few times. Just made my first roast chicken in there (using the Roast feature for first time). It took about 40 minutes for a 3 lb bird and was moist but crispy skin. You can't go wrong with this air fryer.

My husband and I absolutely love it. We have yet to use anything except the bake and grill features. Food comes out perfectly almost every single time. Only notes are it takes an annoyingly long time to pre heat, even to a medium temp. And if the pieces of meat you throw on the grill aren't close enough to the same size one will be significantly more done than the other. It sucks that there aren't ports for 2 meat probe inputs on the grill. That would be ideal. All in all though, freaking love this thing 💞

Absolutely awesome addition in my kitchen! Cooks well in a matter of a few minutes and grill quality. It has an amazing versatility. Love it!

I love this grill. I use it several times a week and honestly… it might do a better job grilling some meats than a gas or charcoal grill. Healthier option for cooking for sure. All settings are easy to use, does not smoke. It is compact so you can store all parts together. Design is great. Easy to clean and is really non stick. Quality is great. Worth every penny!
