I have to say although I was a bit "creeped out" at first (because I was present at my pet cat's cremation and the Ninja Grill sounds a lot like a cremulator), I ended up keeping my Grill after all:-) The cremulator (which is the machine used to cremate a dead corpse) also takes an hour for an "average sized pet" so I could hardly use it for the first couple of weeks that I got it, but after seeing a therapist I came home and began using it to "air crisp" tater tots and french fries and I really have to say I love it! It takes a bit longer than I would expect (about 26 minutes for a 1/4 pound of tater tots) so now I allow them to "defrost" for 40 minutes before placing them in the air crisper:-)
