Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 Indoor Grill w/ Air Fryer, Roast, Bake & Dehydrate + $30 KC EXPIRED

Just note that this model does not have the thermometer built-in.

This is the one that does and normally sold at Costco for $169.99 https://m.kohls.com/product/prd-4...&bduri=yes

Better Deal Alert (IMO)

First of all, transparency and disclaimer - I am a seasoned home cook and have pretty good judgement in this area. I have not owned any of these Ninja Indoor grills so I do not have any first hand experience with them. I DO have experience with reverse sear steaks, roasts, fancy coffee stuff, cast iron pans, baking, yadda, yadda.

I've just finished doing a lot of research - reading, pricing, and watching YouTube videos on this grill. OPs deal is a great deal (thanks OP, don't forget to rep her). However, I see a better choice (IMO) that Does cost a more.

The same model is available in the Pro Version. The Pro Version has a built in thermometer that tracks the temperature of food (example, ribeye) and communicates with the Indoor Grill Pro and stops cooking when meat is cooked yet still juicy (no guess work). This is a huge benefit. It makes cooking great food foolproof and less of a hassle.

The math on OP's original deal (loose math)

Standard Version:
$145 + $5 filler = $150 (plus tax) and $45 kohls cash

Fuzzy net price of Standard: $150 - $45 = $105 (if you count kohls cash as cash, I consider it funny money)

The math on Pro version (loose math)

Pro Version (with thermometer):
$195 + $5 = $200 (plus tax) and $60 kohls cash

Fuzzy net price of Pro: $200 - $60 = $140 (if you count kohls cash as cash, I consider it funny money)

So the Pro version is $35 more if you are ok fronting more money (plus an extra ~$5 tax for the higher price), and having to spend $60 kohls cash instead of $45.

To me it's totally worth it. Also, you save money by not buying twice. You save money if you actually use something you purchased more. Also, the convenience and the results have a real $ value.

This is the filler I chose:

It's $5.51 after 15% coupon applied. It fits in this Indoor Grill. Looks like it allows more air to circulate underneath for what I expect to be better results for some dishes.

Remember, with your kohls cash you can go nuts getting accessories for the Indoor Grill.

The 6-in-1 Smart XL version is also available for $10 less then the Pro Version I'm recommending. It's 6th feature is Broil which sounds nice. But not nice enough. Based on the YouTube videos I watched both the Standard version (OP's original post) and the Pro Version brown better than the XL, and have a deeper tray so you can do roasts. The XL version is flatter (less vertical room). All versions are the same wattage. The XL version has a smaller top heating element which is why I think it doesn't brown as well, and doesn't distribute the heat as evenly, especially since the tray is wider one side, narrower the other and has less vertical room to circulate air. The XL version has slightly more surface area. XL (9" x 12" = 108 sq inches) vs others (10" x 10" = 100 sq inches). It has the Broil function, but i don't see the point when steaks, roast, chicken come out browner and nicer on the Standard and Pro version. Also, the 12" x 9" length grill looks harder to clean in the sink, it won't sit flat at the bottom of my sink, I measured it. Look at XL vs Standard videos on YouTube for more info.

Here's the YouTube video that shows the Standard (OP deal) vs XL version. You can see the XL version doesn't brown as well:

I got mine for $170 a few months ago and it's been my favorite appliance ever since. I got it for the indoor grilling but the air crisp(fry) option works just as well.

Definite good deal.
