I bought my Smart XL a month ago and waited till now so I could use its functions. I must say it preforms great. I grilled stakes and chose medium rare. The grill marks were great. It even told me when to flip the stake and then, when it was done, counted down the five minute rest period. It was done to perfection. So, I tried bone in pork chops. Same results. For breakfast, on the griddle, tried pancakes and beacon. perfect! When I fried an egg, I forgot to add a little oil to the griddle. Just knew it was going to stick. Nope, flipped it over easy with not trouble. Great nonstick. Also, while the eggs were frying, toasted my english muffin perfectly. On the grill, tried sticky shrimp on skewers. just knew the cleanup would be a nightmare. I just put the grill in the sink with a little dish soap over knight and it cleaned right up. I realize I can put both plates in my dishwasher, but to be honest, that is not worth it. After ever use, I just wash it in the sink with a little dish soap and it cleans up great. It is easy to clean.
I have bought other appliances that don't do what they claim. The Smart XL, for me, does what is says and does it darn well! To my mind, it is worth the money.
I just got this about a month ago and wow! Great tasting foods that the family loves! Highly recommend this product! It is quick and easy, especially to clean! ❤️
We previously had the smaller 6 in one model and purchased the XL Grill/Griddle with temp probe and let me tell you that as much as we loved the smaller model, the larger blows it out of the water! So much easier to cook on and fit more food. Clean up on this grill is a total breeze including cleaning under the hood. Definitely recommend this model over the others!
We gave had great success in cooking with our Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro Grill and Griddle. I cooks great, no smoke, and cleans up really easy! We couldn't be happier with this grill. We use it in our RV and have had no smoke detectors alarm.

I have given the rating a 5 but I believe the FoodI Pro Grill Grate Brush and the Foodi XL Pro Grease Catch Cover should have apart of the purchase package
First off thank you to the Ninja Team for making a quality product again. And Thank you to Jelly007 on YouTube for bringing this product to my attention. I'm a single Dad so making quick and easy meals with quick clean up is a big deal and that's what your going to get with this machine. The non stick on this product is absolutely amazing and you won't be disappointed. It hit all my check marks ✔ and I can't wait to see what great family meals I can create. The picture of just the griddle top is after cooking and I only used a paper towel to clean it real quick so I could eat before washing it.
I bought this about three weeks ago. Fantastic product. I love that the probe let's me cook juicy skinless and boneless chicken breasts. They are so easy to overcook. Product is easy to clean. I think. I am addicted to ninja products.i already have at least 6 of your items 4 pressure cookers including the new single lid with probe. Love all of them
