This grill does exactly as advertised. Cooks quickly, evenly, without smoke, but it lacks one glaring thing, counter space. This thing is bulky and huge and looks like it needs a cart to lug around. I loved the hide away drip tray and the adjustable temperature dial on the handle, but this thing needs its own separate counter in the kitchen. It is also not the most attractive of kitchen appliances. Its design screams outdoor not kitchen. The cooking surface is rather small for it to be so bulky.
