1. Charles Oakley Hot Shot Smokeless Grill Indoor – Non-Sticky Grill

Hot Shot Smokeless Grill is an amazon’s choice known for its compact but with an extra-large grill area. You can also use its double cooking surfaces to cook different dishes at the same time. 

The only downside of this product is that, in some customer reviews, the heat temperature will not reach a certain maximum point. For example, if you want to reach it at a maximum of 400 degrees, it will get around 220 max.

But, the good thing is it has a non-sticky frill and a mess-free drip tray that allows you to clean the grill with just a dishwasher in no time. 

PROS	CONS
+ Has cover lid	– Heat cannot reach a certain heating temperature
+ Large grill area	– Not smokeless but less smoke
+ Easy to clean up

2. Hamilton Beach 8-Serving Raclette Electric Indoor Grill – PARTY INDOOR GRILL

If you have parties and big occasions coming up, then you might need this indoor grill. Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Grill has a unique feature of allowing you 10 different types of dishes. You can grill on one side, roast on the other, grill a fruit on top, and melt the cheese and so much more.

Unfortunately, cleaning up the grill will take you a lot of time because aside from each 8 shovel grill tray, you also need to wash the insides of the unit. 

Well, the performance of this product to grill at a certain temperature is still a top-notch for many customers.

PROS	CONS
+ Can cook 10 types of a dish at the same time	+ Hard to clean
+ Unique style	+ The top-level cooking area has weak cooking performance since it’s far from the heat.
+ Raclette Style Grill

3. Techwood Indoor Smokeless Grill – Non-Smokey Grill

This product makes indoor grilling fun and safe. It is known for its smokeless grill performance. Even if you like to grill a steak or meat, you won’t see any smokes popping out. This is perfect for your kitchen.

Even if this product is good for indoors, it really does have an issue in some instances about the unit’s fan. Whenever there will be a smoke while you grill and the fan is on, the high pitched sound might irritate you. So you might want to make sure you can handle it.

However, the Smart Control Panel LED makes your indoor grill tech-savvy and perfect for display because of its size and shape.

PROS	CONS
+ Smokeless	+ High pitch fan sound
+ Smart control panel and LED	+ The cover lid is not attached to the unit. You had to put it somewhere clean.
+ Portable

4. GoWISE USA GW88000 2-in-1 Smokeless Indoor Grill and Griddle – Large Steak Indoor Grill

GoWise USA Smokeless Grill is small but powerful. The performance of this unit to grill is top-notch. When you want to grill a 1.5-inch steak or thick meat, you don’t have to worry, this thing will give you performance like no other.

The bad news is that it does not provide a smokeless effect when you are cooking at home but considerably gives you less smoke. So, you might need ventilation or exhaust fan unless you want to turn your house into foggy.

However, GoWise USA does not only offer this grill but it also comes with a Recipe Book containing 20 different and delicious dishes absolutely free.

PROS	CONS
+ Free recipe book	+ Not smokeless but provides less smoke
+ Can cook and grill thick meat	+ Small grilling space
+ Non-sticky and easy to clean	+ Does not distribute heat evenly
+ Outstanding quality of the grill

5. New House Kitchen Electric Smokeless Indoor Grill – Multi-Tasking Grill with Cooking Surface with different heat zones.

This grill looks like an ordinary outdoor grill but with a different feature. In one grilling area, you have 3 heat zones: On the middle, the high zone which is great for meats; the medium zone on the side, which is good for burgers and hotdogs; and the low zone on the other which is good for fish, shrimp and vegetables.

The only problem for this product is that after a series of cleaning the water pan coating which is located below the grilling area, is peeled off. Plus, the water pan is too easy to spill since it is not that deep enough to hold fluid.

Good thing is that it is smokeless as long as you put water on the bottom tray with water.

PROS	CONS
+ Has three cooking area with different zones	– No cover lid
+ Smokeless	– Tray starts to peel off after washing
+ Easy to store

6. T-fal TG403D52 Compact Smokeless Indoor Sear – Compact Indoor Grill

This grill is so portable that its weight and size are fitted to any size of storage of your car or into your counters. You can dismantle the entire unit and wash it properly without trying to use clothes and clean the insides of the tray. 

Speaking of its size, this unit is only available for up to 6 burger patties or at least 2 medium-sized hams. So if you are throwing a party using this, better have a big one.

PROS	CONS
+ Portable and easy to carry	– Cook small dishes only
+ Quality of the grill is good

7. BELLA (14750) 12 x 16 Inch Copper Titanium Coated Indoor Smokeless Grill – Multifunction Grill

This grill is one of the best sellers in the market, especially on amazon because it will cost you ranging from $34.99 – $58.31. The performance of this unit is good since you can cook bacon on one side, pancakes and eggs on the other side at the same time.

Low price as it may seem, this grill has issues on the pan and the grill. Like some of the customers’ reviews, you will know that the unit will start to fail after a few usages. The pan area starts to colorize to black as you will see when cooking pancakes a few times. As a result, food sticks on the skillet where the heating elements heats.

PROS	CONS
+ Low price	– Burnt foods after using a few times (especially for pancakes)
+ Compact and portable	– The coating starts to peel after a few washing
	– No cover lid

8. Secura Smokeless Indoor Grill – Reversible Cooking Plate 

Secura Smokeless Indoor Grill is known for its unique features: the glass lid cover and the reversible cooking plate.

The glass lid prevents unwanted splatter and helps to retain the heat of the food while grilling. This is good when you want to make sure that the food remains sanitized and warm.

The reversible cooking plate is also amazing, one side has a griddle area to cook for your burger steak or meat and on the other side is a plain area good for cooking eggs and bacon for breakfast. So instead of changing from one tray to the other, you simply need to flip the tray upside down.

The downside for this product is that aside from not being a smokeless indoor grill, the unit cannot be dismantled and its size makes it hard to clean significant areas.

PROS	CONS
+ Has a glass lid to cover the food	– It cannot be dismantled. Hard to Clean
+ Reversible cooking area (you only need to flip the tray from griddle to plain area)	– Not Smokeless
+ Portable and small	– Material is not that durable for longer use

What you need to consider before buying your own indoor grill:

1. Size

Of course, you don’t want to stress yourself in buying a big one which cannot fit your kitchen. Take a look at the first of your kitchen space to know what size you should buy. Another thing is, to save your time and energy, you should choose the size or surface capacity according to the number of your family or the usual number of people you want to serve.

2. Grill Type

This type is either an open grill or a closed one. An open grill usually has the same grilling surface of an outdoor grill. It is ideal for a large family as it offers wider surface capacity while closed grills are smaller which can fit less food at once.

3. Kitchen Set-up

You don’t want your kitchen to be messed up by a grill. Your cooking area, the set-up of your kitchen and your kitchen counter must all be considered before you decide what indoor grill you must buy. Everybody wants a very well-organized kitchen for the best experience of cooking. Grills must always be placed in a proper place for safety purposes, beautification, and convenience.

4. Price

You must know first how much money you want to spend on your indoor grill as obviously prices vary. Well, the more and advanced features and big capacity it offers, the more prices it offers. This will always depend on your budget.

5. Temperature

In buying your indoor grill, the temperature is also important to consider how much voltage it offers. Grills with lower voltage are not recommended for thick meats, steak, and chicken as this type of foods required hotter temperature. So choose an indoor grill with a higher voltage.

6. Materials

Indoor grills are usually made of metal, hard silicone, plastic or a combination of these materials. Though expensive, an indoor grill is best when it is made of metal as it can handle the high temperatures. It is more durable. However, those made of plastic and silicones are usually safer because it protects you from burns though not durable like metals.

WRAP-UP
