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

Food excellent that has been cooked on these grill

I bought two grill as Christmas presents and both parties have texted me that they love their grill. Both said food had a really great taste and the cleanup was super easy since all they did was put dirty parts in dishwasher. I'm thinking of getting myself one.

Indoor Happiness

I have seen the infomercials many times about this grill, but I just could not justify the $129 price and ordering from tv. I've been wanting one for a while and when I saw the $49 price from Walmart I could not resist any longer. I actually thought I'd be getting a smaller size for that price but I was shocked at the size of this. It's much bigger than I expected. I can fit 8-10 chicken breasts on it at once. I wasn't convinced of the smokeless feature until I used it, and it does work. It has a fan switch that you can turn on or off for that feature. I've grilled steaks and chicken. I think I need to learn temp settings vs cook times. Overall, I am impressed with the quality and performance of this indoor grill. There is a water tray in the very bottom under the drip pan. I'm not 100% sure what it's for, maybe only a drip pan lol, but I'm sure it has a distinct function to the grill. The parts clean up easily washing by hand. I still don't know if I would pay $129 but for $49 bucks, I say grab one.

Steaks taste like they were done on out door grill

Gift for Christmas, Grilled 2 large rib eye and 2 Delmonico steaks to medium rare, 10 minutes, look and taste both Great. Clean up very easy. Minor grease spatters (depends how you hold the cover when turning meat. Fire/smoke detectors NEVER went off, no smoke...VERY HAPPY (so is the cat that hides from the noise when. I've tried to use the broiler in past). Cook time comparable to outside grill.

Fantastic grill

This grill is so easy to use and the food cooked is so delicious that I bought two of them: one for me and one for the adult kids. We cook almost everything on it. Cleaning up is a breeze. We will never use charcoal, propane or any other means of grilling again! Only bad thing is if you buy it from Sams, you will need to order the flat griddle separately online as it doesn't come with that. It's only about $20, so it's not a big deal to order. I recommend this grill to anyone who loves the taste of grilled food but hates the mess of a larger grill.

does not work at all

I was so excited to get this item.. but when I finally went to use it, it will not turn on. it gets power but will not let me adjust the temperature so it does not get hot. when It got delivered I threw away the package and put it away so I can't even return it. there is a troubleshooting section of the instructions but however it does not cover if anything is actually wrong with the machine. there is also no contact number for if you are having problems with the machine. so now I am stuck with a broken machine that was not cheap.

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.

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.

When you can't grill outdoors

Gives the appearance, but not the intense flavor of foods grilled outdoors (charcoal or gas). Nice char lines because of the lattice-like griddle-type surface. Not as hot as outdoors at its highest setting, but the gradient-controlled temperature settings can be a blessing when grilling delicate foods like fish, seafood and vegetables. I wish there were a visible reminder somewhere on top of the grill to not forget to pour in the water in the bottom pan before starting. Overall, I'm generally pleased with the product.

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.
