ok we have not used it yet... BUT it seems they listened to you all because there is a griddle in ours that we bought, so it will be exciting to see how it cooks up everything, which we will take it on a huge test run next weekend by cooking various things on it from pancakes, eggs, steaks, burgers, hot dogs etc and then I will update my review then, but I just wanted people to know our came with the griddle insert

Perfect indoor grill for the home. There is a fan that makes this grill smoke-less and great for apartment grilling. The grill gets up to temperature pretty quickly and can go up to 450 degrees, which makes an amazing sear on your food. Locking in the juices and flavor, the sear and the beautiful grill marks can fool even the seasoned grill-master. The grill top also can help with healthier cooking as the excess fat and grease will run off and catches on the bottom tray. Emptying and cleaning is a breeze. Almost all parts can be washed in a dishwasher except for the heating element. For the price, this is a great unit that will get many uses. *I am writing this review as part of a contest.

This is wonderful! Just like grilling outside without all the smoke! The house didn't smell of burn or anything either and the fan is not quiet but not loud like the stove top fan. Grilled steak and veggies on it and it cooked nicely! I was worried about buying at first bc of someone saying it did smoke but upon purchasing and following instructions in set up, you must fill the water tray with 2 cups of water so I wonder if that's the reason (bc this step was skipped) for the reviewers negative review of the grill smoking? Lol.

I purchased this grill over a month ago and it is the bomb! I cooked on it at least 3 times a week and it cooks to perfection. I made burgers for dinner one night and my son fell in love with them and the sausages that I cooked also. I was so surprised when I saw the griddle because I needed that for breakfast foods. I like the fact that it is easy to clean. I was able to get $20.00 off when they ran a special. I promise you it is worth the money!

Easy to assemble and use right out of the box. The current temperature outside is -20 degrees and it was great to grill a couple of steaks indoors. After use clean up was a breeze. I was afraid of the fat/grease falling off of the two steaks I cooked and making a mess inside of the grill, but it fell perfectly into the drip pan provided and the steaks cooked perfectly!!! My wife likes grilled chicken to put on her take to work lunch salads so I know she will use it during the winter months!

I was scared by the bad reviews here but gave it a shot - we love it! Worked as described and came with 2 cookbooks which was a surprise . We We We made filet steaks tonight and they turned out perfect with beautiful sear lines . I have no idea what the haters are talking about . For people complaining about bone-in food not cooking well they didn't read the manual - it says bone- in food like chicken and ribs (and also sausage) need to be precooked first. As for the steak recipe that I think is supposed to mimic Outback Steakhouse - it was good but dial the black pepper way back .

The grill cooked the burgers great, but definitely not smoke free as commercial lead me to believe. Very disappointed and now annoyed that I need to go thru the trouble of cleaning and returning the grill. I'm returning the grill on account of the deception....

Just look at the 2nd image above and see that there are several pieces to this grill just to grill. Too much trouble to grill with that many pieces. Mine never grilled all that great. My Cook's Essential grill that I bought on clearance for $39 grills circles around this thing. And my grill also has a lid too. The smokeless hype is just that. It does smoke less, but my Cook's Essential smokes just about the same as this one does.

Used for the first time today with chicken thighs and bell peppers and onions. They were incredible! The char on the chicken amd veggies just took this dish to a whole new level. And it was smokeless even with the fan off! The drippings going into the water pan makes all the difference. Put everything in the dishwasher after it all cooled and cleanup was a breeze. I can highly recommend this indoors grill!

This thing is great! I love BBQ and grilling but sometimes the weather is bad, sometimes I don't feel like standing outside and heating up the BBQ for a quick mid-week meal. Now I never have to miss that char-grilled taste again. It's so easy to use!! I can't believe how good this grill is. It comes with a griddle too, which is nice. The food cooks up nice. And because it has a lid you can even steam things. I'm getting another one for my Dad who is a die hard (outside) bbq guy because even he was impressed with the burgers I made on it.
