Review Text: Great All Purpose Kitchen Appliance. The Ninja Grill came very well packaged, and includes a grill, a basket, and a great recipe/instruction book. When you first turn it on, the fan noise is definitely noticeable, but not obnoxious. You can adjust the time and temperature during preheat if using manually, but can also use the "smart" technology and the presets to make things easier. It's fairly simple to use and will actually help you along the way. After preheating it will tell you to "add food". Once you add the food, it will automatically start once the cover is shut. The first thing I grilled were pork chops, but because they were slightly frozen, and less than 1", I didn't use the thermometer. I set the time for 15 minutes. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to flip the meat, but after about 8 minutes, a message came on to "flip". I then read through the recipe book and they have great charts including one that shows cooking time, temp, and when to flip. The recipes, including some for sauces are great. It did not smoke at all, but the heat did set off my smoke alarm (mine is sensitive and close to the unit). Cleanup of the grill and the drip plate were very easy. The second item I grilled were steaks and asparagus, following the instructions exactly from the book. It was wonderful to set the rareness, and let the grill do the rest for cooking time. The steak and asparagus were perfect. We've also used it for simple things like corn dogs, fries, etc. It can bake, air fry, roast, grill - an all purpose appliance for the kitchen! The only two negatives are: I wish the grill and the basket fit inside the unit for storage and no matter how careful I am to use silicone tongs and spatulas, there are some scratches on the basket and I'm hoping it won't be an issue in the future.
