When this initially was introduced, I had great interest in it, but was very hesitant. Lately, a lot of products just aren't up to snuff, in part thanks to Amazon and offshoring manufacturing, regardless of the origin of the corporation that brands the product. For this reason, I held off on a purchase to recently. With that said, I'll note that the only thing this review won't cover is the longevity of the product. I've ran it through its paces, but haven't owned it long enough to determine the build quality when it comes to durability. I will say that whoever, or whatever group, engineered this - they did a good job. I could see some improvements that need to be made, but for the most part this product is solid. Let me explain what I did. On day one after cleaning out the unit, I loaded it up with the Kona pellets that came with it and smoked salmon filets. They came out with just the right amount of smoke, while tasting less salty than typical smoked salmon. The second day, I smoked ribeye steaks to 120 degrees, and then finished them in a cast iron skillet with a garlic and butter baste. I also had some macaroni and cheese that my friend made that same day, which I added to the smoker for the last 30 minutes of cooking. It all came out perfect, especially the mac %26 cheese, which was elevated over what it originally tasted like. The third day - smoked pork butt, with more smoked mac %26 cheese, but also baked beans that my friend cooked previously. The pork butt was cooked until it reached 205, and then I shredded it (pulled pork) without adding any sauce to it. It was moist, flavorful, and touched with just the right amount of smoke. The fourth day...yes, I was a cooking fiend...whole chicken. I brined the chicken the day before, then applied a dry rub the morning of the cook. The chicken was moist, full of flavor, the skin slightly crispy (I added avocado oil right before smoking it), and very tender. The fifth day, I took a break. On the sixth day - baby back pork ribs. A dry rub was applied and the ribs sat for 12 hours. I then smoked them for three hours, then wrapped them in butcher paper for another two hour smoke, then finally unwrapped for a one hour smoke. I put a bit of Wagyu beef tallow in the buther paper, so when they came out they were moist, a bit crispy on the outside, but flavorful with just the right amount of smoke. All-in-all, the reviews have been pretty much on point - you CAN get more smoke flavoring from an outdoor smoker, but you can't beat this for an indoor smoker. For the most part, cleaning up is easy. You remove the racks, the side rack mounts, the drip pan, the water reservoir, and then wipe it out. The flip-up cover over the heating element seems to be removable, but you probably won't need to do so that often. Of more concern is the vent on the back wall - it collects a lot of oil. I'm running of out space so...this thing rocks. If you like smoking food, then buy it.

I have to keep in mind this is indoor unit and should not be compared to my outside smoker. It does not support the concept low and slow in the reset recipes. The recipes work well but not as tender as i like. The high smoke level does not generate a thick bark. You can't get a thick bark. I thoughtn I get an assortment of pellets I only got the Premium Blend. Still a thumbs up.

easy to use

So far so good Its a little tight but will fit a pork shoulder or 2 slabs of rib. Good enough for me. Cleans easy and I don’t really notice smoke smell in the house.

My outdoor smoker needed some repairs, so I decided to give this a try for convenience. I'm not disappointed as it performed BETTER than my old king smoker! We did fix the outdoor smoker, but now we find ourselves using this one far more. The Wi-Fi and app eliminate the need to continuously monitor the temperature ofwhatever I am smoking, to unlike the old one where I had to manually adjust the temperature every 5 to 10 minutes. I love that is able to hold everything I need.

I've used it 4 times in 3 months and am still getting acquainted with it (Smoke setting). Ribs the first time and a BB roast the second. Both with the supplied wood pellets. Yesterday I went it salmon and a small pork tenderloin with apple. So far everything has been very good. It appears to be very well constructed and once I quit trying to over think things easier to operate. I haven't venture Into connectivity but that will be next. I believe it's a keeper. Bill

Move into an apartment, and was upset that I didn't have a place to smoke food, so I see this unit, and had it for a month now, and never let me down, and didn't disappoint..

I am obsessed with my indoor smoker. I use it inside my RV and it does not raise the temperature or fill it with smoke. I can smoke two whole chickens at the same time so it has a large capacity. I love that I can set the temperature probe and forget. It does all the work and lets me know when it's finished.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this smoker! I live in an apartment and I dont have anywhere for a outdoor smoker. This appliance fills the need perfectly. Having the ability to smoke foods without the worry of smoking out my apartment is wonderful. I love the simplicity of the setup and ease of use. The pre-programmed settings are great. I also like the functionality of the app for checking on the time of the smoke and the adjustable temperature settings. The capacity of the unit is perfect for meals that could feed plenty of people. The cleanup is simple as well. I recommend this product to anyone living somewhere they dont have access to a patio or maybe its too cold/hot to go outside.

[Employee of ge_appliances] I really enjoy smoked meats but am not a fan of smoking and grilling outside. This was the perfect solution. I am still experimenting with cooking techniques. I am glad I purchased this product and look forward to improving my smoking skills.
