5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted   January 8, 2009
Carolin S. (Sterling Heights, MI USA)
I bought this grill a couple weeks ago and I am in love. We were using the original George Forman grill before we got this one, and I hated having to clean it. This grill is so easy to clean! It has excellent grilling space and is very light weight. It is not completely smokeless (I think that's impossible), but very tolerable inside! We have been using it every day since we got it! We made excellent burgers, chicken kabobs and steaks so far! I love this thing!


5 out of 5 stars Best indoor grill!   January 8, 2009
L. J. Ferguson (Seattle)
I did a lot of comparison shopping between various indoor grills. I was looking for a grill that was easy to clean after use and also grilled food like it was barbequed outdoors. After reading numerous, positive comments about the grill, I ordered it. We tried the Sanyo grill for the first time tonight. We grilled steaks on it and they were superb! They tasted just as good as those cooked on the grill. The grill is large and rectangular in size. It includes a drip tray, which covers the entire length of the grill. Before grilling, the removable drip tray,which fits inside the bottom of the base, is covered with water. Then the non-stick grill is added on top. Before cooking, the grill surface is coated with cooking spray. There is a detachable temperature control unit, which can be set to the desired temperature for the food that is being cooked (A cooking guide is included). The unit heated up quickly with no electrical smell. We placed the steaks on the grill and were pleasantly surprised that hardly any smoke was emitted during the grilling time. Also, no grease splashed up. The unit cooled off quickly once it was turned off. The grill was very easy to clean. Everything could be washed with soapy water. I highly recommend this product and plan to purchase another as a gift.


4 out of 5 stars This grill is HOT!... But not *that* hot.   January 6, 2009
G. Hamblin (Western U.S.)
I was very excited to receive this item from myself for Christmas. Though some of the reviews made me a bit wary I was willing to take the risk for the low price. Here's what I've found after having used it many times in the past 3 weeks:

This grill works pretty darn well, but not perfectly. If you add water to the drip pan it prevents smoke from the drippings, but the juices that stay on the cooking surface will still smoke some. In a way, that's a good thing because it helps your food still get *some* of that smokey grilled flavor, but not by filling your home with the stench of deceased cow juices. I find that as far as smell goes, making french fries on the stove has a stronger smell than this grill.

The flaw, as others have mentioned, is that the heating method is sometimes a little inefficient. The grill surface itself heats up as fast as any electric appliance, so don't worry about that, despite what you may have heard. The problem is that the heat isn't really retained around the food. This means that if you're cooking very thick things that it's going to be quite a bit longer cook time than your traditional enclosed barbeque.

I cooked some kebabs and found it took 15 minutes or so to make sure the meat was cooked thoroughly enough (and I like it medium). Then I took the advice of another amazon purchaser and put a sheet pan over the top of the grill. I also found that a standard cookie sheet with raised edges or a typical restaurant pan fit just fine. Enclosing the grill made the cook time drop to about 7 minutes.

All in all, I'm very pleased with this product. It isn't a perfect replacement for the old hibachi out back, but it's a lot faster, cleaner, and convenient. Since the weather has been snowy and below freezing lately I've really enjoyed being able to eat my food grilled when the mood strikes. The downsides are that the heat escapes a little too easily and that storage is a bit of a pain. But if you have the room, a bit of money, and a frequent craving for grilled food, get it.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent grill, and the price is right   January 2, 2009
Guitar Hero (Austin, TX USA)
My wife bought this for me after doing a large amount of research on indoor grills. I got tired of starting my charcoal grill just to cook a small meal for the two of us. So far we have grilled steaks twice and chicken once.

The manual comes with suggested cooking times for many different types of meat. Even with chicken breasts that were about 2 inches thick, the manual was right on the money (about 15-20 minutes on each side). My friend came over for dinner and was so impressed with my chicken (marinated only in an roasted red pepper italian dressing I bought at the store) that he decided to buy the same grill.

The filet mignon I grilled was very thick, so I had to stray from the suggested cooking time. Since steak is so easy to overcook, I turned down the heat from the suggested 325 degrees and just let it cook longer. The result was absolutely delicious steak! My second attempt at steak was a much thinner cut of meat, so I did cook it for less time on a higher heat.

There really is very little smoke, and despite complaints from others, I think it takes minimal time for the grill to heat up. It's not instantaneous but it's certainly less prep time than a charcoal grill. If storage size is a problem, Sanyo makes a compact but similar version (see the HPS-SG2). Depending on the size of your sink, the SG2 may also be easier to clean.

I would definitely recommend this grill. It works great and allows you to stay inside and entertain guests while grilling, keep an eye on the little ones, and/or grill when weather conditions outside are unfavorable. The only downside I have seen so far is that the entire surface is always the same temperature. Not all meat is done at the same time, but I can't move meat off the grill for too long or else it will get cold.

Normally when I grill outside on my charcoal grill I leave one spot without coals, so that when some meat is done I can move it off of the coals but still keep it warm. This isn't possible with an electric grill such as this one, but one possible solution is to have an oven (or even toaster oven) on at 100-150 degrees. As things finish cooking on the grill, you can move them to the oven to keep them warm (without cooking them further) while you finish grilling the rest of the meal.

One final note: the sponges made for the George Foreman grills work perfectly for cleanup with this grill too!
