I dropped by Sam's after a doctor's appointment today. They had a half dozen of these Ninja's in boxes and one open for you to look at.
Brief impressions:
Everything seemed to be of quite decent quality. I look forward to seeing one of their new actual gas grills when they are at a store. It will be very interesting to see how they apply this level of quality to a "regular" grill.
This one at Sams is all black. That doesn't matter to me - I even may like it better - but I think some others have a color lid. Maybe a "SE" for Sam's?
This is one killer price for a brand new, warrantable, multi-capable product for sale at a major retailer.
Would I ditch my grills and just have this? No, although if I had to live in a condo or other place that bans charcoal and gas, it would be a very viable alternative to electric grills like the Lumin. Larry's experiences certainly give proof of that.
