Let me start by saying this machine is freaking awesome.  It's a lot bigger than I anticipated.  I am so in love with it. Ninja makes some of the most awesome products and this machine does not disappoint. 
We're always wanting grilled burgers but I hate standing outside in 100 degree weather watching my gass grill.. No more of those days now that I have this foodi grill .. It makes delicious perfectly cooked burgers and grilled chicken  I've even did asparagus and Brussels sprouts and they come out great .I've air fried wings and made sweet potatoe fries. . Its easy to use and even easier to clean up. because the non stick plates the parts are removable and dishwasher safe. I've got to get me a cook book and possibly some accessories to go with it . This machine is amazing  and well worth it.. If you are hesitant about it don't be  it well exceeds everything I imagined it would be
