What customers say
Consumers highly value this grill for its convenience and ability to achieve impressive searing temperatures indoors, delivering a desirable crust on meats. Its compact design suits smaller kitchens well. A key consideration is smoke; while marketed as low smoke, users report noticeable levels, especially with fatty foods, suggesting ventilation is necessary. Cleanup receives mixed feedback; removable plates are dishwasher safe, but the grease tray requires more effort. Overall, it is considered a solid, good value option for casual indoor grilling, especially when prioritizing a strong sear, provided users manage smoke expectations and cleaning effort.
Know before you buy
Yes, the adjustable temperature control makes this grill versatile enough for vegetables, fish, chicken, and paninis. You can lower the heat for more delicate items or crank it up to 450°F for a hard sear on proteins.
Yes, the nonstick cooking plate is removable and dishwasher safe. The extra-large drip tray is also removable and dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward after a meal.
While some condensation can occur depending on the moisture content of your food, the window is designed to let you check your progress without lifting the lid. This helps maintain a consistent internal temperature for better searing results.
The grill features a 118-square-inch cooking surface, which is large enough to cook multiple portions at once while remaining compact enough for standard kitchen counters. It weighs just over 8 pounds, making it stable during use but easy to move if needed.
Because this is an indoor grill designed to reach 450°F, some smoke is normal when searing fatty meats. We recommend using the grill in a well-ventilated area, such as near an exhaust fan or an open window.
