About Ninja
Ninja (a brand of SharkNinja) entered the outdoor grill market in 2022 with the original Woodfire and has shipped a new generation almost every year since. The brand's defining trick is combining real wood-pellet smoke flavor with a fast electric heat source, giving you the only electric grills on the market that genuinely compete with pellet smokers on flavor. In 2026 they added Bluetooth to the Pro Connect XL and took our Editor's Pick.
- 700°F sear, the highest in the category
- Real wood-pellet smoke infusion
- 7-in-1 cooking modes (grill, smoke, air crisp, roast, bake, dehydrate, broil)
- Bluetooth app control on Pro Connect models

Is Ninja a good brand for electric grills?
Ninja is the best brand for buyers who want maximum features and are willing to replace the grill in 4-6 years rather than 10-12. Every Woodfire model hits 700°F, handles seven cooking modes, and produces genuine wood-fired smoke flavor. The warranty is shorter than Weber's (typically 1 year) and long-term durability data is still accumulating, but for pure capability-per-dollar nothing in the category touches the current Ninja lineup.
