It’s a very well-designed and engineered indoor grill with the added benefits of the air frying that I love so much along with baking/roasting functions and dehydration. Powerful and effective at air frying and leaving grill marks. Super-hot high-density grill grate gives you char-grilled marks and flavors. Uses 500°F cyclonic air to perfectly cook or char-grill your food to your desired doneness on the grill grate for delicious, char-grilled marks and flavors. Bring the outdoor grilling experience to your kitchen. With the BTU cooking power of an outdoor grill, it brings outdoor grill flavors conveniently to your countertop any day of the year. Easy to clean. The PTFE/PFOA-free, nonstick ceramic-coated grill grate, crisper basket, and cooking pot are dishwasher safe. This countertop grill is wonderful! You can grill anything from steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and sausage. Easy to use. The digital control panel makes it easy to select your cooking function and adjust time and temperature so you can grill with confidence. Virtually Smoke-Free The combination of the temperature-controlled grill grate, splatter shield, and cool-air zone reduces smoke and keeps it out of your kitchen. 500 Degree Cyclonic Air Rapid cyclonic air moves all around your food for Surround Searing, which gives you even browning and delicious charring without burning.

CONS

Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer
Ninja AG301 Foodi Air Fryer
Yes

No preset modes for different food. When you select cooking mode, a default time is set (i.e. 10 min for Max Crisp, 15 min for air fry, and 20 for bake). Quite tall but should still fit on your counter. You will still need to have the back and top open when using it as the air intake is at the top and the air exhaust is in the back. It's deep but the cooking is uneven. The top will get burned while the bottom is still raw. You can make this problem go away by shaking your meal. You constantly have to Google the cooking temperature and time of a food item as not a lot are in the booklet that comes with the appliance. It is considered to be a bit noisy.

Yes

Big, heavy, and needs lots of space to store away. Pricey for a grill marker but remember it can do more than just grill.
