Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle (IG651) review

My verdict
“Great job Ninja, great job redesigning this grill. I believe they added a ton of new features.”
What I liked
- “All of the accessories fit inside when it is closed.” 2:15
- “You can't… with the older model you could not cook with it with a lid open, so it operates more like a traditional grill and I think is better in a lot of different ways.” 2:15
- “I followed the directions on the back of these frozen egg rolls and they cooked perfectly in this thing.” 4:30
- “Very user friendly. I just figured this out on my own, I didn't read any instructions.” 8:17
- “The non-stick surface is definitely working really well.” 9:47
What I didn't like
- “This is really slick and everything rolls forward… it's kind of a pain especially when the dog gets stuck in this little grease trap at the front.” 5:15
- “Sound wise [it] is about the same loudness as the last model.” 3:00
- “I am unsure if this is dishwasher safe. This, I'm talking about the bottom piece.” 9:47
- “Keep in mind that this does retain a good amount of heat.” 9:02
Worth knowing
- Capacity
- “I would say this fits at least eight burgers easily. Definitely has more space than the older model for sure.” 8:17
- Tip
- “If you're going to do several hot dogs, instead of putting them horizontally like I have this one, it would be much better to put them vertically.” 7:31
