I have mixed feeling toward this smoke-less grill. On the positive side it is good to finally be able to grill something in our house with minimal smoke, and of course grilling in our air condintioned kitchen is way better than under the 100 degrees Florida heat. With that being said it did take a while to heat up and cook, I guess that is normal due to it being an electronic grill but I do prefer the traditional grilling as far as the cooking temperature and flavor of the food goes. However it is less hassle to set up, clean up and easy to store, so still good for occasional use.
