Living in a downtown apartment, when I wanted to grill I had to make a trek to the roof to use one of the apartment grills. While sometimes thats fun, often times I'd just as soon enjoy a piece of grilled meat in my apartment. I read some very positive reviews on this product, so I gave it a try. I have not been disappointed. It heats fast, not too smoky, and easy to clean. I also really like the fact that you can easily adjust the temperature. The sear feature is nice as well for grilling medium rare steaks. If you are looking for a relatively small indoor grill, buy this product.
