7 Best Ninja Multi Grills of 2026

If you’ve ever struggled to feed a hungry family without juggling multiple pans or sacrificing sear quality, the Ninja Sizzle Pro XL is a game-changer. This indoor griddle and grill combo delivers 40% more cooking space than its predecessor, making it ideal for large breakfast spreads or backyard-style burgers—all without stepping outside. The dual ceramic nonstick plates (griddle and grill) are fully interchangeable, giving you the flexibility to switch from pancakes to char-grilled chicken with zero hassle. Thanks to ProTemp IQ technology, temperature control is pinpoint accurate from 250°F to 500°F, eliminating hot spots and ensuring every inch of the 20-inch surface browns evenly—something even commercial-grade Blackstone users might envy.

In real-world testing, this grill shines when multitasking. We cooked bacon, eggs, and hash browns simultaneously on the griddle plate with edge-to-edge consistency, no overcrowding, and minimal smoke thanks to the detachable ventilated lid that traps grease and reduces splatter. When flipped to the grill plate, it delivered deep sear marks on steaks and juicy, well-charred burgers in under 10 minutes. The removable grease catch makes cleanup effortless, and the PFAS-free ceramic coating wipes clean with a damp cloth—though stubborn residues may require a quick soak. It’s not designed for open-flame charring, so don’t expect true outdoor grill intensity, but for an electric indoor unit, the performance is impressively robust.

Compared to the Ninja DG551 Foodi Smart XL, the Sizzle Pro XL trades smart features like app connectivity and air frying for raw cooking real estate and versatility. It’s the best choice for families or meal preppers who need high-volume, consistent results without the clutter of multiple appliances. While it lacks dehydrate or roast functions, its dedicated griddle and grill plates outperform combo units when you’re cooking for crowds. For indoor grillers who value space, precision, and ease of cleanup over smart tech, this model delivers more cooking power per square inch than nearly any other countertop unit in the Ninja lineup.

The Ninja FlexFlame PG301BL redefines what an outdoor grill can do by blending propane power with convection precision, making it a standout for those who want restaurant-level results without the guesswork. Its 3-burner system delivers up to 600°F in just 7 minutes, and the super-heated continuous air circulation ensures food cooks evenly from edge to center—whether you’re searing steaks or smoking ribs. With 424 square inches of cooking space, it comfortably fits three whole chickens or four racks of ribs, making it a powerhouse for weekend BBQs. The real magic lies in Ninja Woodfire Technology, which uses just 2 cups of pellets to infuse food with authentic smoky depth, creating that coveted smoke ring and bark typically reserved for traditional smokers.

During testing, the grill excelled in versatility. We smoked pork shoulder at 225°F for 6 hours with consistent temperature retention and minimal pellet usage, while later searing ribeyes at 600°F delivered perfect crust development without drying out the interior. The digital control panel removes the fiddly adjustments common with gas grills, maintaining set temps with minimal fluctuation. Adding the optional griddle plate (sold separately) turned it into a full outdoor kitchen, ideal for smash burgers or fajitas. However, without the ProConnect app found on the PG305 model, you’re limited to manual monitoring—no remote alerts or phone-based control. It also requires both a 20lb propane tank and outdoor electrical outlet, which may limit placement options.

When stacked against the FlexFlame ProConnect PG305, the PG301BL is nearly identical in performance but lacks smart connectivity—making it a better value for users who prefer hands-on cooking. It’s ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who want precision and multi-functionality without app dependency. While it doesn’t air fry or roast indoors like the OG751, it offers faster preheat, broader cooking space, and more consistent smoke infusion than most gas grills in its class. For the price-conscious griller who wants pro-level performance without smart bloat, this model strikes the perfect balance of power, precision, and practicality.

For the tech-savvy griller who wants total control from their smartphone, the Ninja FlexFlame ProConnect PG305 is a connected cooking powerhouse that brings lab-like precision to backyard BBQ. With the Ninja ProConnect app, you can monitor internal food temps, adjust cooking settings, and receive real-time alerts—all from across the yard or while running errands. This isn’t just convenience; it’s game-changing accuracy for low-and-slow smoking, where timing flips or checking doneness can ruin the bark. The 3-burner propane system still hits 600°F in 7 minutes, and the super-heated continuous air ensures even crisping and browning, whether you’re roasting whole chickens or making crispy pork belly.

In real-world use, the app integration proved invaluable. Smoking a brisket at 225°F, we received notifications when to flip, when to wrap, and when it hit perfect doneness, all while the grill maintained temperature within ±5°F. The Woodfire Technology again uses just two cups of pellets to deliver rich, authentic smoke flavor, and the 424 sq. in. cooking surface handled a full rack of ribs, four burgers, and grilled veggies simultaneously. We tested the optional pizza stone (sold separately) and achieved a crisp, blistered crust in under 6 minutes thanks to the intense, even heat. That said, like the PG301BL, it requires both electricity and propane, and the app, while powerful, occasionally lagged in notification timing during peak Wi-Fi usage.

Compared to the non-connected PG301BL, the PG305 justifies its premium with true hands-off cooking capability—especially for smokers and roasters. It’s the ideal upgrade for users who value data-driven results over manual control. While the OG951BL1 offers more functions, the PG305 focuses on outdoor grilling excellence with smart precision. If you want to start a smoke and forget it, this grill delivers unmatched autonomy and consistency, making it the smartest high-performance outdoor grill in the Ninja ecosystem.

The Ninja DG551 Foodi Smart XL is the ultimate all-in-one indoor cooker for health-conscious families who want restaurant-quality grilling without the smoke or fat. Its Cyclonic Grilling Technology combines 500°F hot air with a 500°F grill grate to deliver char-grilled marks and deep flavor—even on chicken breasts and veggies—while using up to 75% less fat than deep frying. The standout feature is the Smart Cook System with Foodi Smart Thermometer, which takes the guesswork out of doneness: insert the probe, select your protein and preference (rare to well-done), and let the grill auto-adjust time and heat. It’s foolproof for perfect steaks, salmon, or pork chops every time.

In testing, the grill handled everything from frozen burgers to homemade fries with ease. We cooked thick-cut ribeyes from fridge-cold to medium-rare in 18 minutes, and the smoke control system—featuring a splatter shield and cool-air zone—kept our kitchen remarkably clean. The 6 cooking functions (Grill, Air Crisp, Roast, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate) make it a true kitchen workhorse: we dehydrated apple slices overnight, baked a small loaf of bread, and air-crisped wings with crackling skin and juicy interiors. The 4-qt crisper basket and ceramic-coated parts are dishwasher-safe, simplifying cleanup. However, the cooking pot is small for large batches, and the hood must be closed for air frying, limiting visibility.

Compared to the IG651, the DG551 lacks a dedicated griddle plate but excels in smart automation and compact versatility. It’s the best choice for small households or apartment dwellers who want maximum function in minimal space. While the OG751 offers outdoor use, the DG551 dominates as a year-round indoor solution. For those who prioritize precision, health, and convenience, it offers smarter cooking intelligence and cleaner results than most indoor grills at any price.

The Ninja IG651 Foodi Smart XL Pro is the most versatile indoor grill on the market, merging a high-powered 500°F grill grate with a 12-inch flat-top griddle to deliver true dual-surface cooking in one unit. This isn’t just a gimmick—both plates interlock and share the same intense, independently powered heating, allowing you to sear steaks on one side while frying eggs or pancakes on the other, all with zero hot spots. The hood-up/hood-down flexibility is a game-changer: cook with the lid up for intense, direct searing, or close it for cyclonic air crisping and melting—perfect for loaded burgers or Philly cheesesteaks. With 7 cooking functions, including Air Crisp, Roast, and Dehydrate, it replaces nearly every countertop appliance you own.

Real-world testing confirmed its dominance in multitasking. We made a full breakfast—bacon, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes—simultaneously, with each item perfectly cooked and no flavor transfer. The Smart Cook System with thermometer ensured our salmon hit medium at exactly 145°F, while the smoke control system kept the air clear even during high-heat searing. The XL capacity fits six steaks or a giant nacho platter, making it ideal for families. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to PTFE/PFOA-free ceramic coatings on all removable parts. That said, the unit is bulky, and the griddle plate can warp slightly under extreme heat, though it doesn’t affect performance.

Against the DG551, the IG651 wins on raw versatility and cooking surface options, though it’s slightly less automated. It’s the best pick for home chefs who want griddle + grill performance in one smart unit. While pricier than basic models, it delivers broader functionality and superior searing power, making it the most capable indoor multi-grill Ninja has ever built.

The Ninja OG751 Woodfire Pro is a revolutionary outdoor electric grill that delivers real woodfire flavor without propane, charcoal, or flare-ups—making it a top pick for apartment balconies, patios, and smoke-sensitive neighborhoods. Powered by electricity and enhanced with real wood pellets, its Ninja Woodfire Technology infuses food with rich, visible smoke flavor on every cook, whether you’re grilling, roasting, or air frying. The 141-sq-in nonstick grate offers ample space for burgers, veggies, or a whole chicken, and the built-in thermometer takes the guesswork out of doneness, alerting you when your steak hits perfect medium.

In testing, the grill smoked ribs in under 3 hours with a crisp bark and juicy interior, using only ½ cup of pellets—a fraction of what traditional smokers require. The outdoor air fry function produced golden, crispy wings with a subtle smoky hint, something gas grills can’t replicate. We roasted a whole chicken to juicy perfection and even dehydrated banana chips with consistent results. The weather-resistant design means it can stay outside year-round, a huge plus for convenience. However, the cooking area is smaller than the OG951BL1, and while it’s apartment-friendly, the electric-only setup limits high-heat searing compared to gas models.

Versus the OG951BL1, the OG751 lacks app connectivity and has less cooking space, but it’s more affordable and still delivers authentic woodfire taste and multi-function cooking. It’s ideal for urban grillers who want flavor without flames. For those who prioritize safety, convenience, and smoke-infused results, it offers unique outdoor versatility in an electric package that no other brand matches.

The Ninja OG951BL1 isn’t just the best Ninja multi-grill—it’s the most complete outdoor cooking system available, combining 7-in-1 functionality, massive 180-sq-in capacity, and full app connectivity into one smart, weather-resistant powerhouse. With the Ninja ProConnect app, you can monitor two proteins at once, adjust temps remotely, and receive step-by-step alerts—from preheat to flip to finish—making it the ultimate tool for hands-off BBQ mastery. The Woodfire Technology delivers 100% real smoke flavor using just ½ cup of pellets per cook, creating restaurant-quality bark and aroma on ribs, brisket, or salmon. Whether you’re grilling, smoking, air frying, or baking pizza, this unit handles it all with precision and consistency.

Testing revealed its superiority in both scale and intelligence. We smoked a 10-lb brisket and grilled 10 burgers simultaneously, all while monitoring doneness from our phones 200 feet away. The XL crisper basket made outdoor air-fried fries with a crispy, smoky crust, and the built-in thermometer ensured perfect steak doneness without overcooking. The weather-resistant build means it can stay outside all year, and the compact footprint makes it ideal for decks, RVs, or small yards. While it requires electricity, it doesn’t need propane, eliminating fuel hassles. The only downside? It’s larger and pricier than non-connected models, and the app, while powerful, has a learning curve.

Against the OG751, the OG951BL1 offers more space, smarter controls, and better multitasking. It’s the best overall choice for serious outdoor cooks who want total control and maximum flavor. If you’re looking for the most advanced, feature-rich, and versatile outdoor grill, this model sets a new standard—blending smart tech, real woodfire taste, and unmatched capacity in one revolutionary package.
