Introduction

The Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro completely upgrades indoor cooking. By introducing an independently powered 500°F grill grate and a flat-top BBQ griddle, it allows you to sear, sizzle, and air fry with authentic char-grilled results—all without the smoke.

The Positives (Pros)

  • 500°F independently powered grill grate for authentic, edge-to-edge searing
  • Included 12-inch flat top BBQ griddle is perfect for pancakes and fajitas
  • Hood-up cooking for direct high heat, or hood-down for surround air frying
  • Foodi Smart Thermometer removes all guesswork for perfect meat doneness
  • Extra-large capacity can comfortably fit up to 6 steaks at once

Room for Improvement (Cons)

  • Very bulky and heavy (over 27 lbs), taking up significant counter space
  • Storing the multiple large plates (grill, griddle, air fry basket) can be difficult
  • Premium price point compared to standard air fryers or basic indoor grills

Hood-Up and Hood-Down Versatility

A major upgrade in the Pro model is the ability to cook with the hood up for intense, direct bottom heat—just like a traditional outdoor grill or diner griddle. If you drop the hood, the system engages cyclonic air technology to rapidly circulate hot air for perfect air-frying, baking, and roasting.

Smart Thermometer Precision

Never overcook a steak again. The integrated Foodi Smart Thermometer features 4 smart protein settings and 9 customizable doneness levels. Simply insert the probe, tell the grill how you want your food cooked (from rare to well-done), and the system will automatically stop cooking at the exact right moment.
