It heated quickly and has a ready light so no guessing. The heat is consistent all through the cooking time. No fluctuations or drops in temp when the food was added.
Clean up was child's play, easy peasy. Seriously, a good wipe down of the grate and inside, wash the tray, done.
If you're looking at this go ahead and get it. I promise you'll love it.
Just FYI, I got mine "used" but it was just a damaged box. You would never know from looking at the product. It is in perfect condition. I really am so very happy with this grill. I had to order some wings to try next. 😋
This grill would be great for two to three people to prepare quick healthy meals there is room to cook the the beef, chicken, fish or whatever you desire as well as some veggies.
Cleanup is a breeze the lid, drip pan and grilling surface are easily removed and are dishwasher safe (I prefer hand washing something like this in the sink). The Teflon coating makes the char come right off.
Easy to use red indicator light indicates preheating green indicator light grill is ready to use. There are several temperature settings as well as "Sear" I used this setting throughout the entire cooking time.
There is little to no smoke I set the grill on my cooktop and turned the vent hood on.
I my opinion this grill is an excellent value.

Negative- Although the black drip tray holds the most of any model, it warped after the first dishwasher cleaning. I have sent an email to Hamilton Beach asking for a n/c replacement since it said the parts iof this grill can be cleaned in a dishwasher. They responded and will replace at no charge
Last, the inside if the glass and metal cover has rough metal trim so be careful washing the inside of the cover. I recommend
I did a lot of research and thinking about what I wanted. I am on a strict low carb diet, so I eat a lot of meat. What I knew I didn’t want was a 15 pound unit that: costs a bundle, uses lots more electricity, and doesn’t give me much more cooking surface area. So, I kept coming back to this unit.
I could never have gotten these results with my old grill. The pink center, lack of shrinkage of the meat.... both amazing. I bought 2 steaks recently. I cooked one the other day on my George Foreman, and it was so charred on the outside, that is was difficult to eat (4 minutes got it to about medium.) I heated this grill to Sear (about 5 minutes... I thought it would be double that), put a slice of onion and mixed peppers on the grill with the steak. The book says 6 to 14 minutes for the steak. I left everything for 3 minutes, flipped the steak, rechecked the temp after 3 minutes, flipped it again, then let it cook for 1 and a half additional minutes. In the meantime, I moved the onion and peppers off the center of the grill to the side panel to keep them warm, but not burned. (The peppers were frozen when I put them on. The onion was still a bit crunchy when I ate it.) I cooked the steak to 145, then let it rest for 3 minutes on my plate. You can see the results. The meat was like butter, and incredibly juicy.
It took only a few minutes longer than the George Foreman, pulls the same power as the GF, but, the difference in the meat is stunning. Not much smoke (only when heating it up... I oiled the grill since my marinade had no oil). The grill heated to 450 (but did not stay at that level which doesn’t really bother me, (I’m not sure it’s supposed to), and the results were so good that I am not going to worry about it.). This should be a great grill for fish....the cooking process is nuanced enough. I am looking forward to making salmon and chicken thighs later this week.
Clean up? A breeze. I let it cool, wiped it with wet paper towels, then rinsed the grill off under warm running water.
Set up? Took about 2 minutes. The lid popped in easily, and you just match the underside round holes on the right to the base, and you are off! (I washed the lid and grill in warm soapy water first.)
One tip: it’s not sealed all the way around. I reached into the tray to grab a piece of pepper which had fallen through, and my finger connected with the hot grate. Watch your kids. The back part of the grill under the cover is open about a half inch, so careful there as well.
I will update this review if I see anything different, but for now: a big 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. Reasonably priced, easy to handle, doesn’t take up your whole kitchen, little smoke, and GREAT results. Enjoy!

I was cooking my dinner within 10 minutes of unpacking this!
I had everything prepped and ready-to-go, I was waiting for the Amazon driver to show up, SOOOOO hungry but darn it, I was so excited to use my new grill!
Then, IT happened! The buzzer rang!
"HE'S HERE!" I yelled to no one...
I tore that box open, I got a paper cut, but screw it, let the blood flow! I was hungry!
I washed my new grill. I made sure she was clean and shiny. She was.
She's so easy to put together. Only 4 pieces and they all go together like they were made for each other! Wait...
I plugged her in. I turned the dial. I got the chicken out of the fridge. I got the veggie skewers out. All was perfect. The brown and wild rice pilaf was cooking in the air fryer. Life was beautiful.
Then, I heard it. A quiet little "click". No, not really a "click", more of a "clunk", I guess. That's okay, it was the sound of my grill being READY. She was heated up.
I got the tongs. I got the first piece of marinated, de-boned chicken thigh. I placed it gently on the grill. "SIZZLE!" it shrieked to me. "Ssshhhhh" I said gently. "It's okay. This is how it's supposed to be."
The chicken responded by quieting down and welcoming the second piece, which also gave a little vocalization of hesitant fear, or was it delight? I like to think it was delight. Yes. Sweet, gentle delight.
After letting them relax and bask in their juicy, tasty, juicy-tastiness for a while, I then added their new friends, the veggie skewers. Ah, yes. The skewers. No, no, the skewers were not for eating! The skewers were the mere presenters of the beautiful vegetables impaled upon them.
The peppers, both red and green, the mushrooms, peeled lovingly, the onion layers, the carrot slices, the celery pieces, the garlic grated over this beauty and drizzled with olive oil, then lightly dusted with salt and pepper. My God, what a meal.
But the grill! How did it do? You're thinking, this woman has had too much to drink! Ah, but no.
This is just a really good grill. You should buy one. Everything cooked perfectly. Browned nicely. No smoking!

My only negative so far is the cord is way too short. I had to use an extension cord to reach my outlet.
While heating the grill, in the drip tray I layered aluminum foil and put a bit of water in. I read this assisted with cleanup.
My first attempt was cooking some chicken skewers and burgers. The cooking time definitely takes longer depending on the cut/thickness of meat. With the lid open I noticed certain parts of the chicken was not being cooked evenly, so I made sure to close the lid. After 10 minute's cooking time the chicken had reached temperature and was cooked. There was very little to no smoke, I would say it is more steam. So far so good.
What I really wanted to test was making marinated shortribs, similar to Korean kalbi. I was afraid the marinade would produce alot of smoke and splatter but to my surprise it wasnt too bad. I followed another user's advice for marinades and put the grill under my exhaust . The food came out perfectly cooked around 3 minutes each side, nice grill marks and left little mess compared to using a pan. My unit smelled amazing from the meat, without the greasy smokey feeling. Another success.
Cleanup was ok. Soaked in water and used a soft scrubber on the grill. The first time cleaning is fine but I'm curious to see how long the nonstick coating will last.
Overall I would recommend this grill.
