Overview
A 1200 watt electric indoor grill with a 90 square inch nonstick cooking surface, sized for up to six servings, and a floating hinge that adjusts for thicker cuts like steaks and bone-in chops.
The removable drip tray and the way the plates direct grease away from food are what reviewers call out as an improvement over older countertop grills, several naming a George Foreman by comparison. One reviewer found heat distribution uneven, with the outer edges undercooking while the center overcooked, so food may need repositioning partway through rather than left to cook untouched.
- 1200W, 90 sq. in. nonstick cooking surface
- Floating hinge for thicker foods
- Removable, dishwasher-safe drip tray
- Cooks 6 servings in 10 minutes or less
Who it's for
Suits anyone wanting to grill burgers, chicken, fish or vegetables indoors without an outdoor grill, especially for low-carb meal plans. Less suited to someone who wants fully removable grill plates for dishwasher cleaning, since the plates here are fixed in place.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers frequently compare it favorably to older George Foreman style grills, pointing to the larger surface and deeper drip tray design as an improvement. The main complaints are that the plates are fixed rather than removable, making the lid and edges harder to clean, and one reviewer found the center of the grill runs hotter than the outer edges.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Large 90 sq. in. surface fits up to 6 burgers at once
- Floating hinge handles thicker steaks and chops
- Grease drains into a removable, dishwasher-safe tray
- Cooks most foods in 10 minutes or less
- Grill plates are fixed, not removable, for cleaning
- One reviewer found heat uneven between center and edges
- No separate on/off switch
Performance notes
The 1200 watt element gets most foods done in 10 minutes or less, and the floating hinge lets the lid tilt to accommodate thicker cuts rather than pressing food flat. Grease runs off the nonstick plates into a removable, dishwasher safe drip tray underneath. One reviewer measured uneven heat, with the outer edge of the cooking surface undercooking while the center overcooked, meaning some foods benefit from a mid-cook flip or rotation.
