Overview
A small 1300-watt electric grill with a 32 square inch cast iron cooking surface, a slanted nonstick plate that drains fat into a dishwasher-safe tray, and a footprint under 8 by 10 inches.
The grill's small size is its defining trait: reviewers repeatedly describe it as sized for one chicken breast or a couple of burgers rather than a family meal. Some longtime owners compare it unfavorably to an older, heavier version of the same model line.
- 1300W, 32 sq in cooking surface
- Cast iron nonstick cooking plate
- Dishwasher-safe drip tray
- 7.5" W x 9.6" D x 5.1" H footprint
Who it's for
Good for a single person, a dorm room, or anyone grilling one or two portions at a time. Not suited to cooking for a family in one pass.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several reviewers liked how fast it heats and how easily it cleans, with more than one calling it well suited to a single portion or a dorm setup. A recurring complaint was the small cooking surface, and one owner who'd used an older Proctor Silex grill for a decade felt this version was lighter and less well made.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Heats up and cooks quickly
- Nonstick surface and dishwasher-safe drip tray simplify cleanup
- Compact size suits small kitchens or dorms
- Cooking surface is small, best suited to one or two portions
- One buyer felt the newer version is lighter and less sturdy than an older model
Performance notes
The 32 square inch plate heats quickly, with several reviewers cooking a chicken breast or fish fillet in under 10 minutes, and the slanted design lets fat drain into the tray rather than pooling under the food. That same small surface means it fits one chicken breast or a couple of burgers, not a full family portion in one pass.
