[@k.p.1139]

Based on these videos...I bought one! The regular size. I am HAPPY!! YES, indeed. And GIRL those biscuits were a show stopper. I have had it a week and have used it almost every day. THANK YOU!!! You are the best.

Thank You too! Can’t wait to try it out myself but your channel makes it look so easy!😊

[@melb6862]

Brilliant demo, I've been looking at the XL as an upgrade to my original but after watching your great video I'll stay with my old one as I really prefer the deeper dish. Thank you so much. This is the best comparison on KZbin.

@@vivianmontilla6612 my mom has one of the egg shaped airfryers and let me try it out i couldnt figure out how to make tortino pizza rolls in it and i made gordon's breaded fish fillete and kinda got it almost good. so i was like i need one i can see the settings on so bought the original today hope i can figure things out lol

[@bjmanuel4033]

This demonstration was fantastic and very helpful. Thank you. Even though the XL is bigger, the original is deeper, which will suit my family.

[@danceswithsheep3058]

Pretty much what I’m thinking and I’m sure the chicken would have fitted without being spatchcocked in the standard grill if the basket had been removed.

[@bluchu22]

Thanks 😊 thanks

[@belisarius1]

I just bought the old one this week at Costco at a huge discounted price compared to initially was...and I love it. With small counter space and I live alone so no need to cook a lot at once. I've yet to use the thermometer but I'm kinda excited to see it to work.

[@sgooding8138]

Thank you for a brilliant review! The side by side comparison was just what I was looking for and has helped me to decide which model to go for, the original. That chicken looked delicious.

[@fireballglamm]

I use a potato masher to press it down that way you don't burn yourself after you flip it and it works really well to get a broader area versus just tongs

[@bomac10]

Fantastic demo!! I’m gonna buy the original now this video actually convinced me because I don’t need the extra size anyway but I like the deeper pan. Thank you indeed

Excellent demonstration. You did a fantastic job!!! Thank you very much

[@khush05]

I’m going for original!! I’ve been debating between the two for weeks

[@tess5162]

I have the original foodi grill without the probe which I LOVE and was considering upgrading to the XL. Based on this video and a few others I've seen, I don't think its worth it to upgrade. Curious as to why they made the heating element so small. I'd have to get a REALLLLYYYY good deal on the XL to consider spending my coins! LOL!! Thanks for the video!

[@datazndood]

XL has a $75 off offer right now on their site. I’m on the fence, I want the original for the baking since I’ll be bringing mine abroad where appliances are nil, but the smart tech on the new one is nice for the set it and forget it features and even cooks exact rare, medium well which is insane.

[@janpeterson21]

Great review! Ive been torn between the two!

[@stevenelson5481]

I have the original foodi grill and the Xl model too. I just recently did a whole chicken (5.5 lbs) in the original foodi right in the bottom of the roasting pan and I didn’t have to spatchcock it. It turned out fantastic!

[@stephenlynn1233]

Excellent video and far better than any other ones I've seen so far! thumbs UP!

[@chrispeer4279]

Simple reason this test landed this way. With convection it requires 360 air flow to cook properly. You can not stuff a convection cooker. It simply will not cook right. I own both of these units and use them for different dishes or at the same time. They have different purposes. Look for discounts and sales and buy both.

[@datazndood]

Can you cook bread in the new one, say baguettes and biscuits for example. The original is much deeper which is nice for cakes and artisan size bread but I like the smart tech features on the new one. Both are exactly the same price on BBB right now. The place I’ll be bringing it to use won’t have any gadgets so the bread thing is pretty crucial for me. Bringing it to India to a small village so this will be the work horse for sure. XL seems like the better choice at the exact same price, but people love the original it seems. Thanks.

[@daleatt]

Thank you for the demonstration. I've been thinking about a Ninja Grill and think I'm gonna have to get Smart Grill because of the with the extra width.

[@nekomancey4149]

Foodi grill original is more versatile with stuff like ham and whole chicken, xl allows feeding more people with a smaller range of things to cook. Will depend on needed use. Ninja is getting paid whichever you choose!

[@chrisbullock6477]

Interesting I guess maybe we have a different version of the X l model ours came with a grill insert that can be removed and also has the basket in the bottom

[@sweetsavant]

Hi Chris. Yes, we may have different models. Frequently Ninja Kitchens releases several versions of a product. Thanks for watching!

You are so right about the original ninja foodie grill, I’m baking a whole chicken in it and was able to stuff it with onions and celery, forgot the garlic, but it is in my seasoning. I only wished I’d cut the back bone out of it. Baked for 60 minutes, and it is delicious!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@maggiel6597]

Is the grill plate got scratched and needed to be discarded? Or ok to use metal utensils on it?

[@nefertiti7009]

Thank you for this detailed demo. I have been trying to decide and came across many videos that appear to be promotional instead of organic like yours. I am still undecided because I want evenly cooked food with the option to cook more or less with the same result. My kitchen is small so I'm leaning towards the original but would hate to make a purchase and they introduce a newer, improved version. I think I'll wait a little bit more, but will definitely decide before the new year. Thank you again.

[@Lindasims733]

Wonderful review thank you, I live in the U.K. the model without the probe is available here , you say it’s also available with a probe to my knowledge that’s not available here.

[@KatElectraGlide]

Big difference. Id much prefer the brower one. great review. Thank you

[@palehorse5275]

So are the two whole chickens about the same size? I was surprised it didn't fit into the XL very well. The regular Ninja looks a lot larger inside.

[@Whatisalex]

Is this grill ceramic coated or is it teflon? Thanks for making this video. It will help in my decision.

[@snigdhamd]

I have the one sold by Costco last year (physically more like the the original one). I also use it for baking. I have also used the Ninja baking kit pans which in the older model are pretty close to the heating element. My specific question is that with the loss of depth is it more difficult to bake and can the baking kit pans even be used?

[@cherylcooper2838]

I love my original and it Air Crisps great too due to the larger burner I think. Thanks, best comparison I have seen.

[@danielwatts9803]

I'll wait both of these grills out until Ninja comes out with a third, hopefully larger, deeper grill. Maybe Ninja will listen and include a larger cooking element in the top of the lid also. C'mon Ninja, make a third grill with ALL the kinks out of it soon please!

[@Nykki72]

Daniel Watts I would down for something deeper. Maybe not quite a turkey size deep, but maybe a rack of lamb deep

I was going to do that but the newest ones are so expensive. I went with the XL Foodi Grill without a thermometer. I just couldn't wait.

Thanks. I have the one but I like the thermometer of the grill. It seems the grill is truly meant for the grill function in order to cool steaks etc. The deeper basket of the old one is meant to be an oven. I’d hate to replace my old one just for the thermometer. Does anyone know if any smart grill thermometer will work with the old one? Will the lid close?

[@sweetsavant]

I'm not sure if another thermometer will work.That is a good question. There are some wireless thermometer probes that send the temperature to a smart phone app. I've been thinking of getting one of those. I'll post a review if I get one. Thanks for watching
