Almost There
The Ninja - Foodi 6-in-1 Countertop Indoor Grill with 4-quart Air-fryer Model EG 201 is almost there, but not quite. The unit is very attractive in stainless steel, which will match most of today's kitchen appliances This model comes well-packed with many accessories include:the ceramic-coated drop in grill grate, the air fryer ceramic-coated crisper basket, the ceramic-coated cooking pan, the splatter guard, a cleaning brush with tips that fit in the grooves, and a basket that sits within the well. Just as important, there is a full size Owner's Manual, a Quick Start Guide, and a Recipe book. This absolutely does have a counter top profile-it easily fits below your upper cabinets and not overtake the depth of those counter tops either. I love the ease of clean up with ceramic-coated pans. I also agree that there is no smoke or foul odor when cooking that does occur when cooking on your stove, thereby affirming that their engineering of air intake, air outflow, and grease accommodation must be done correctly. However, in order not to have those smoke and smell issues, the manufacturer recommends only the use of the following oil types-canola, avocado, vegetable, grapeseed, refined coconut and not use olive oil, butter, or margarine. Additionally, another thing that must be done to limit smoke and smell is to maintain the cleanliness of the splatter shield that attaches to the top of the unit's hood. In all function applications, it is definitely stated to preheat the unit and there is a preheat button that has a pre-programmed amount of time. Then after pre-heating is done add the food and it will cook for a pre-programmed amount of time at a pre-programmed temperature unless you manually adjust either of these factors. If you use this machine to successively cook multiple batches within the same function or use multiple consecutive times with different functions, it is recommended to wipe down the splatter shield, clean out any grease or oil in the grease collector on the back, let the unit pre-heat again and then add food. I found the Quick Start Guide invaluable because it has all sort of tips and tricks, grill function explanations and how to's, and a grilling cheat sheet that literally gives you times and temps for room temp foods, as well as, guidelines for cooking either fresh or frozen food. While I am generally happy cooking with this model, there is one main reason that I gave this unit only 3 stars--it is because this unit does not have the ability to use a thermometer to cook your proteins to perfection based on how you want them based on internal temperature. There are models that have 2 thermometer ports so that technically you could cook steak and chicken or steak and fish, whatever you want at the same time and each of the proteins come out to perfection. I do not know which models have either one or two thermometer portals, but I would imagine that the increased price would be worth it. No matter what model you wind up with, remember to sign up for the warranty, you just never know.

Super Versatile Cooking Appliance
This is the second air fryer that I have gotten and this one is much more versatile. This Ninja has a 4 quart capacity so it is a little larger than our previous one. The obvious advantage to that is you can cook more food at once, instead of running it two to three times. Opening up the box, there are a few components. The main pot, a crisper air fryer basket, a grill grate, and a brush to help with the cleaning, along with some manuals and instructions. All the things that go inside the air fryer have non-stick surfaces and are very easy to clean. They are also dishwasher safe. Clean-up was fast as anything stuck on rinses off with a little spray of water. The controls are straight-forward to use. After powering it on, select the type of cooking you plan to do (Bake, Dehydrate, Grill, Broil, Air Fry, or Roast), the temperature, and how long to cook it for. What is a little different from my previous air fryer is that this one says to preheat before adding the food. I didn't realize that was required the first time I tried it and just added the food in. The only problem with doing that is the timer doesn't start until it preheats and then you open and close the lid. I was watching it the whole time so it wasn't a big deal, but something to keep in mind. Once it beeped that it was preheated, I opened and closed the lid and food still turned out perfect. From then on, I have been preheating before adding the food. I've wanted to try using the dehydrator, but haven't had the chance yet. The Grill option worked well. I cooked a couple of steaks and other than finding the right timing to get to your right doneness level, it is pretty easy to use. Overall, I really like this air fryer and plan to use it frequently (reheated pizza is so much better with an air fryer). I highly recommend this Ninja.
