I was pleased to find this electric indoor grill.  I've been on the hunt for quite a while but was waiting for the right price and the right features...found it!  I received it and washed it the same day.  The next day I was was using it to cook Italian sausage links wanting to check for "hot spots" and how well it maintained a constant temperature.  This appliance receives high marks from me.  I did not give five stars because the water pan that sits under the grill element is very shallow so tricky getting it out of the base to empty without making a mess.
