I was extremely skeptical of the idea of a "Smokeless" grill at first. I have owned dozens of various grills and not many of them uphold the bold claims that they make. This grill is an exception to the normal! I got this grill almost 2-years ago and we still use this thing weekly. Burgers and chicken come out perfect with NO SMOKE! Our family uses a silicone scrub pad to clean to increase the longevity of the non-stick surface which I HIGHLY recommend. It still work and looks good as new. I honestly can't recommend this grill enough.
