Grilled taste and seriously no smoke. 
I had low hopes going into this but I am really impressed.
So far, we have made both chicken and burgers on the grill setting and they were delicious.
There was absolutely zero smoke, no splashing of burger or chicken juice - The cooking process was as close to a grill as you can possibly get without the hassle of unexpected flames.

We’ve used the griddle setting a handful of times for pancakes and it is so much easier cooking a few at a time vs just 1 in the pan. 
It cooked evenly and the heat didn’t suddenly spike and burn our food like our previous griddle did. 

When you’re done, the compact size is easy to store, and if you don’t have enough cabinet or pantry space to put it away, the design is attractive enough to be kept out.

I just ordered one of these for my brothers birthday gift and I know he will love it too!
