An indoor grill that adds a built-in thermometer for meat doneness plus air frying under the same lid. A good fit for steak and chicken on a countertop, though it takes real cabinet space.

Overview
Ninja designs this model as a countertop grill with a probe that reads food temperature. The same unit air fries, roasts, bakes, broils and dehydrates, using a cooking pot and a crisper basket.
The thermometer is the headline: you choose a doneness level and the unit works toward it, so you skip the guessing. The listing does not say how big the grill plate is, and the large body and weight deserve counter space.
Who it's for
An apartment or a household without an outdoor grill gets the most from it, since searing and crisping share one appliance. A cook who wants real smoke flavor or a big griddle area will find the compact grate and sealed lid limiting.
Pros and cons
- Thermometer probe built in
- Six cooking modes in one unit
- Nonstick pot and basket parts
- Grill plate size not listed
- Large and heavy to store
- Not a source of outdoor smoke flavor
Performance notes
Cyclonic air flow moves hot air around the food for air frying, while the grill element supplies searing heat from above. The thermometer feeds temperature back to the controls, so doneness depends on the probe placement as much as the setting.
