A well-built two-in-one grill and griddle for indoor use, with a lid that controls spatter more than smoke, so a heavier-smoke meal like bacon may still call for a range fan.

Overview
A reversible indoor electric grill and griddle with a 15 by 11 inch cooking surface on each side, a removable glass lid with a latch, and a nonstick coating, weighing under 6 pounds.
The heating element sits within the grill plate itself rather than underneath a separate plate, which one reviewer specifically credited for faster heat-up. The glass lid keeps spatter contained but isn't a sealed hood, so it reduces smoke rather than eliminating it; several owners still ran a range fan or moved it outdoors for smokier foods like bacon or a seared steak.
- 15 x 11 inch surface on both grill and griddle sides
- Removable, latching glass lid
- Nonstick reversible cooking plate
- Under 6 lbs total weight
Who it's for
Apartment and small-kitchen cooks who want both a griddle and a grill surface without two appliances, plus anyone entertaining tabletop-style. Less suited to anyone expecting the char and smoke of an actual outdoor grill.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers were largely positive about heat-up speed, sear quality and how compact and light the unit is for a two-in-one grill and griddle, with several using it regularly for steak, salmon, bacon and vegetables. The main complaint was lid durability, one owner's hinge broke after only a few uses, and a couple of others noted it isn't truly smokeless despite the glass lid, so they ran a fan or moved it outside for heavier smoke.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reversible plate covers grill and griddle in one unit
- Heating element built into the plate heats quickly
- Nonstick surface wipes clean after cooling
- Under 6 lbs, easy to store or move
- Lid hinge reported as fragile by at least one owner
- Glass lid reduces spatter but isn't fully smokeless
Performance notes
The plate flips to switch between the ridged grill side and the flat griddle side, and the glass lid attaches or detaches without tools, locking upright when open. Reviewers used it for steaks, burgers, chicken, salmon, bacon and vegetables, generally describing even sears and quick heat-up, with one owner noting the lid hinge is the weakest part of the build.
