I live in an apartment in California and day 2 of cooking with a mini propane grill I was given a notice to stop. I got the pro connect and cook and smoke all the time now! Probably 90% of my meals I cook on it and it’s absolutely amazing ! Definitely worth the extra $$

Glad to hear Ninja made a solution for you! Thats what I love best about this unit. Its safe to have under my covered porch when I still wanna cook when the weather is sub par!

It's just me and my wife nowadays, but there is something I just can't stand about having to cut a rack of ribs in half to make them fit on the grill. That's why we have the xl and it is freakin awesome.

I Love the XL version. Definitely nice to have the extra space when you need it.
@conditionsunknown93845 ай бұрын
I have both and I definitely prefer the OG model !! The pro connect feels kinda toyish /cheap . Don't get me wrong I really like it especially the wifi Bluetooth feature but other then that it doesn't really impress me . The stand for the OG model is 10000 times better also . The stand for the pro connect is a pain in the butt because the legs don't fold and it's not a cart style where you can easily roll it around. They're both awesome because Ninja is awesome but I'd just prefer my OG any day!!!!
@KennasKitchen4 ай бұрын
I agree about the stand for the OG model. Feels sturdier and has cool features like folding it up and going! The OG style is definite a more travel friendly version.

I also have both and I completely disagree with your analysis. I find the pro connect to be superior it almost every way to the original grill which I also have. Taller, larger cooking surface, improved pellet access. An excellent update. And the app works flawlessly for me.
@kopenml4 ай бұрын
And the stand really has absolutely nothing to do with the functionality of the grill. There are so many possibilities that are better than either the original or the newer stand. Not even an issue for me at all
@MotorcycleMan19623 ай бұрын
On both, the stand looks like a poor design. I paid less and got a very nice stainless stand on Amazon that worked great and would function well for both units. It's not foldable and is on my back deck. Stainless top, two racks and a paper towel holder.
@conditionsunknown93843 ай бұрын
@@kopenml the size isn't really that much difference. The only thing better which isn't a big deal is wifi. But real cooks like to watch over their stuff instead of taking the lazy way out . The quality is definitely better on the original model. The pro connects aren't even selling as good that's why they went from 499 to 329 within a few months of being on the market. The original is still hovering at its original price of 349 !! The pro connect stand is garbage and takes up too much space. The pellet hopper on the pro gets jammed and is a junk design ! Everything about the original is better . But to each their own ! The pro also was so poorly designed that within 3 months they changed the control panel on them !!

@terriparker3606Ай бұрын
Helpful, but i wish you'd shown the grills more -- like the space of the small one vs the larger. For example, would one whole chicken fit on the smaller one? And explained only the small one's stand folds up.

Thanks so much for putting this video together, I really appreciate it! I don't intend to use any "smart" features or apps, but the difference in size might make a difference. I'll usually be grilling for just two people, but I certainly want to be able to feed more when friends come over. Is there a downside to using the XL model when it's just dinner for two? Or maybe even one? Just in terms of heat-up times, energy consumption, what have you? Thanks again, you rock!
@KennasKitchen4 ай бұрын
Im so glad it was helpful. I wouldn't say there is a downside to having the larger one, other than just a larger plate to clean, and a larger airfry basket to store somewhere when not in use. Haven't noticed a difference in preheat time or pellet use. I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you if it uses more energy. I dont know how to ready KW's.

Does the dial that you use to select the cooking method have clicks or indentations? As a blind person, if I can count clicks to know which setting I'm on, that's more useful than just turning a dial and hoping I stop at the setting i want.

Hello! Unfortunately it does not. Im curious if the app has any features or if your phones accessibility features could help with that within the app on the Pro Connect.

@@KennasKitchen I just ordered the Connect XL as I got a good deal on it, despite it might be too big for me (i'm single), but I do have gatherings at my place with friends and plan to grill then too. And after I saw Ninja came out with a 50/50 grill/griddle plate, it made more sense to have the XL. I'm looking forward to using it. Won't get it till the 24th this month.

I just got the xl pro. I also have the smaller one. With the xl pro does anyone have an issue where when checking the pellet smoke box or to refill the pellets (when it swings open) some of the ashes falls out on the bottom? How to prevent that. It’s really annoying.
