I have I think this exact one although I got it many years ago so it might be different now

It doesn't get too hot on the outside and goes up to 500F in grill mode. It's pretty big at least it would suit a family of 4.
I've had a ninja foodi grill one for years and it's still good. I will keep it for many more years, possibly decades.
Got it on eBay for much less than retail and it shipped from the manufacturer, somehow. I think $150? Well worth it. I use wax paper liners in it to make cleanup easier, also worth it.
Absolutely I have Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill and we use it nearly everyday day you can grill chicken with nice charr in about 15 minutes or less I make it for salads, chicken teriyaki, for chipotle style burritos, you can definitely make steak, french fries come out just like they’ve been deep-fried you can toast sandwiches literally everything bagels use it like a toaster over makes great grilled cheeses reheats food very well.
Ninja Foodi AG301 wär mini Wahl (isch mini Wahl gsii) Top da Teil, eifach i de Bedienig und hesch dank Grillplatte gueti zuesätzlichi Optione. Viel Platz und find ihn bruchbarer als die mit dene "Becher" zum inestelle.
I've seen the dual zone ones recommended before. Personally, it either cuts the usable area down so you can't do large things, or it makes the air fryer too big. Our air fryer recently died and needed to be replaced. We don't have as many of the name brand options where I live but ninja is available. Picked up the foodi grill because it looked convenient to use and it is head and shoulders above the old drawer basket style we had. It preheats faster, seems to circulate the air a bit better so things are crispier and it's so much easier to load things in and take things out. The grill plate works pretty well too. I'm not a huge ninja fan, but this air fryer makes me willing to at least consider the ninja brand for other things.
There aren't too many occasions that we would need two different things cooked in the air fryer. Either it is being used for the protein, in which case the sides are getting cooked on the stove, or I'm using it for a side in which case the main is cooked on the stove. Or I'm reheating some leftovers and nothing else is getting cooked.

It's been about 4 months now and every time I use it I still think about how I'm glad the old one died because this one is so much better.
As a side note, it does an awesome job with leftover pizza, just toss some cold slices in there and run the preheat and about a minute after preheat is done and it's even better than when it was fresh pizza!
We have a Ninja Foodi Grill XL which is also an air fryer. It gets used all the time, and we clean if after every use. I like that it has multiple functions in addition to air fryer.
If you are a couple or Batchelor in a tiny apartment, the Ninja Foodie 4 in one indoor grill with air crisp is a godsend and daily workhorse. Grills to perfection. Airfries beautifully as part of air crisp feature. I cooked a nice 3 lb beef roast and potato in it. Grills fish perfectly
You don't want this model of air fryer. For about the same price the Ninja Foodie 4 in 1 Indoor Grill with Air Crisp (air fry) is a much better unit. Yes it occupies more space on your desk but you can do way more with it. I have this very same unit and have cooked French fries, blooming onions, onion rings, chicken strips in its air fryer basket. Swap out the basket for the thick heavy grill insert and be patient while it preheats over 15 minutes. Once fully preheated, that heavy steel grill delivers a proper sear to steaks, burgers and sausages just like an outdoor gas grill. Remove all the inserts and cook a casserole, cake or bread in its tub liner. This one air fryer is perfect for guys like us bachelor's
You never mentioned the fryers cooking area. Ninja makes dozens of different air fryers. 10 by 10 inches is pretty average with larger models sporting 9 by 12 inches. My Ninja Foodie 5 in 1 indoor grill with air fry has a 10 by 10 basket cooking area. I can cook 4 full sized chicken breasts with room to breath or 6 cutlets
Ninja. They make so many, and their no stick coating seems to be some kind of aerospace grade ceramic enamel. It's very long tasting and nigh bullet proof. My air fryer can reach over 550 f to properly heat up its heavy steel grill insert. Ninja Foodie, 5 in 1 indoor grill with air crisp (air fry)
I have that Ninja 5 in 1 indoor grill air fryer, and I love it. Built in removable spatter shield, 10 inch heavy steel ceramic coated grill insert. 10 inch, easy clean ceramic coated air fry basket. It cooks perfect steaks and other grilling meats to perfection. I've cooked everything you can imagine in that Ninja grill fryer over its past 4 year career and use it daily thanks to it's durability and ease of use.
My first air fryer is a Ninja Foodie 5 in 1 indoor grill with air crisp (Air Fry). It not only does its job to perfection, it's ceramic no stick coating has soldered on for 4 years of heavy use. It is very easy to clean. Comes with removable spatter shield so burner housing doesn't get gunked up and smokes. Did I mention it grillsa perfect steak or fish.
I use a Ninja Foodie 5 in 1 indoor grill with air crisp. It's ceramic coated that has stood up to 4 years of heavy use and cleanings. It's roughly 10 inch square interior is generous. One of the very few air fryers that comes with its own removable spatter shield so grease does not fly up into the heating element fan head. It's perfect for 80% of my cooking wants and super easy to clean. Not recommended for cooking small pizzas unless they are butter tart sized or pizza pockets
There's a Ninja for every lifestyle, it seems. I have both their indoor grill air fryer and their classic big single drawer air fryer. Both have served me very well and reliably for 4 years. I am definitely getting a bigger 6 liter Auto Advanced glass tub airfryer simply because it can handle different types of tubs and has an extra powerful heating element fan. Unlike its smaller glass bowl fryer, the bigger fryer is better value for the 5 the heating head is mounted on a stand with a rising glass bowl holder for handling different depths of bowls. These are oven grade glass bowls that come with lids. Once cool, they are safe for fridge or freezer.
