Overview
A 9 x 15 inch indoor electric grill with a copper-finish nonstick plate and a water-filled drip tray meant to cut down smoke while grilling on the countertop. Sized for family-scale cooking rather than single servings.
The name is the one claim buyers push back on directly: multiple reviewers who cooked burgers and other higher-fat foods report real smoke, especially at higher heat, even though steaks and leaner cuts produce far less. The pyramid-shaped plate, with the heating element built directly into the grill rather than under a separate plate, is what reviewers credit for the fast heat-up.
- 1500W / 120V heating element
- Water-filled drip tray
- Adjustable low-to-high temperature dial
- Dishwasher-safe base and drip tray
Who it's for
Works for someone who wants grill marks and reduced, not eliminated, smoke on a kitchen counter, especially for steaks or chicken. Not a fit for anyone who needs it to run truly smoke-free on fattier foods like burgers without a range hood or open window nearby.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently report fast heat-up and easy cleanup, since the grill breaks down to just a few dishwasher-safe pieces. Several reviewers directly dispute the smokeless claim, saying burgers and other greasy foods still produce noticeable smoke, especially without a range hood running.
