Fun Cooking

Saw this grille on TV and thought it would be nice to have. After seeing this on Sams Club website I ordered it and my family loves it. You can grille good on your dining room table and not generate smoke from the grill. It works very nice and cooks the food just the way you want it.

Confused

Bought one in store and loved it!! Decided to buy another one for my daughter in college. She got it and it didn't have a griddle plate. The one I purchased in store did!! Purchased the exact same one!! Would recommend if the grills were consistent!!

Depending on where you purchased the second unit, it may or may not have included the griddle plate. If both units were purchased from Sam's Club you should contact the Sam's Club you purchased from to determine if the griddle plate should have been included.

Smokeless grill great for indoors and out

The smokeless grill works excellent When you're cooking hamburgers steaks or shish kabobs all the grease drops into a little moisture box area Very easy to clean non-stick coating very easy to clean we used it this past holidays and worked excellent indoors didn't have to worry about grease going everywhere with the protected lid and the built-in smokeless fan keeps everything in its place We are very happy with this product

Works great!

Decided to try this so we can grill indoors during winter months. So impressed with how easy and fast it is. Simple cleanup and great tasting food. So far I made burgers, steak and chicken, and all were very good! I may buy a couple more for Christmas gifts.

Will Not Cook Large Pieces of Meat

Going to try out our new indoor grill (because of the smoke cooking on cast iron skillet inside). Had a bone-in prime rib for 2. Blasted the temperature before putting it on.... long story short - don't think about it. I would take For-Ev-Er to cook this chunk of meat. I pulled out the trusty cast iron skillet, and dinner was saved. It handled the asparagus very well. Haven't re-tried it yet, but have a feeling it is going back. If you are cooking smaller items - it would be a great tool. However, if you are looking for something heavy duty, this is not it.

Great Flavor

This is the best appliance we have in our house. Food has that wonderful barbecue flavor we all love. It's cleans up so quick and easy in the dishwasher. I'd highly recommend this to my family and friends. As a matter of fact my daughter had a hamburger made on this grill and now she's getting one.

Good Smokeless Grille But Not Hot Enough To Sear.

Great looking and easy to take apart and clean, appeared to get rid of most of the smoke. Unfortunately it doesn't get hot enough (435-450) to sear, and took 20 min after preheating to cook one large pork steak. Also taking apart and cleaning would get old soon, would prefer a 2-3 piece design with the heating coils hidden.

More chillin' than grillin'!

I was very disappointed in the performance of this indoor grill. It doesn't cook well unless you leave the glass top on (strongly suggested in the instructions). When you do leave the top on, it cooks like more of a toaster oven or regular oven, more baking than grilled. I have yet to get grill marks on a hamburger or hotdog!

The glass lid, water in the water tray and the fan are required to keep the smoke contained within the grill. Make sure you are completely preheating your grill before cooking, the temperature will blink until it is completely heated up. If the grill is preheated correctly before adding your food you will see the grill marks you are looking for.

AWESOME GRILL!!!

I have one of these grills that I bought off a TV ad for quite a bit more than what I paid for this one at Sam's, and I love it and use it all the time! I like mine so much that I bought this one as a Christmas present for my mom, only to find out that she already had one! So, although I will be returning this one this weekend, I VERY highly recommend this grill!! It does a little of everything, from grilling chicken, burgers, etc. to making pizza with nice, crispy crust. Since it's smokeless, I can see this being great for someone in an apartment who can't BBQ outside or even a student's dormroom. Can't recommend the Power Smokeless Grill enough!! Oh, did I mention that it's incredibly easy to clean and everything is dishwasher safe?

Decent grill but I wouldn't call it smokeless

I've had multiple cook outs with this grill and I do like the size and convenience it is not completely smokeless. When you first start this grill is awesome. Cooks nice plus the lid is nice to cook meat through but the longer you cook the more smoke it puts out and the less heat you get. I believe that the holes in the grill get clogged causing the heat loss. Overall I like the grill but it has its quirks. If you're doing a small meal it's great but if you're cooking a lot be prepared for some smoke and longer cook times.
