Ill start off by saying this product definitely isn't for everyone. There are better grills you can get if you can cook outside, and their are cheaper griddle options you can get from stove top pans to electric griddles you should consider.However, I wanted this product from other competitors as it fits my case for where i find it to be really useful.I have an electric stovetop, which traditionally when I cook on doesn't distribute heat evenly, so getting a stovetop griddle was out of the conversation for me, as well as a stovetop grill. Stovetop grills are also really difficult to clean - there is a reason people tend to give these away to others after using it for a bit.I also live in a rental, and although I probably can cook on my porch, there are a looooot of bugs outside. To the point where I'm having issues keeping my screen window open to get in airflow into my house as I get nats coming in everyday dying to my bug zappers.I also generally don't know the HSA rules for my property since I'm just renting the spot, so I try to avoid doing things that may be an issue on that front.The other products that I was looking at (which I think was the hamilton beach) was cheaper, but didn't reach the temperature this one provided. This unit is also much easier to clean in comparison, as you can take off all components from the pans to the smoke cover to wash them.Firstly, this is not a smokeless product. This will reduce smoke that your food may produce, but don't purchase this and believe that your food won't create steam. Physically that is not possible, as the water leaving your food has to travel somewhere in some form, but the top of the vent gives you a way to dissipate the smoke to those vents to reduce what comes out overall.I've cooked on both the griddle and the grill, and haven't had issues with either. You will need to wait 7 minutes before operating on the product, but once thats gone, the temperature is consistent across the entire pan.The compact size allows me to cook what I want to cook and put it away in a pantry, as this isn't a product that I want out all the time.The product does seem to make some noise while operating, not really sure what this is from, but I'm assuming the pieces get rigid when their cooled off, and expand while in use which causes the unit to make noise from the expansion.Overall, I don't think this is for everyone but I think this is a solid grill for my use case and for my particular lifestyle, as I needed a product that is easy to clean, easy to store, cooks food evenly across the whole board, reduces smoke as much as possible (as I live in an apartment that has bad airflow without an AC. The window next to the window doesn't even have a screen on it), and I could mimic when I want a reduced down version of what gets cooked on traditional grills that do reach the temperatures this unit provides. I live single, so in terms of a family I don't think this would be a good unit as the plates in general are really compact, so you may need to spend more time to serve in those cases.

I've became a big fan of the Ninja Sizzle Griddle and Indoor Grill, model GR101, very fast, and I can confidently say it's a game-changer for indoor cooking. This 14'' electric grill, with its versatile design, makes it possible to enjoy grilled meals year-round any time with results that rival my summertime outdoor grill surprisingly.Performance: The steak and hamburgers I've cooked on this Ninja Sizzle have turned out remarkably well, with beautiful char marks and juicy interiors - just like you'd get on an outdoor grill. The 500°F max heat allows for that perfect sear, and the edge-to-edge cooking ensures there are no cold spots, delivering even cooking across the entire plate. Whether it's steak, burgers, or salmon, the flavors are locked in, and the textures are spot-on.Versatility: The ability to switch between grilling and griddling with the interchangeable plates is fantastic. I've made everything from pancakes for breakfast to fajita veggies for dinner, all with the convenience of indoor cooking. The griddle plate is perfect for those mornings when you crave a stack of pancakes, and the non-stick surface makes cooking eggs or bacon a breeze.Ease of Use: It's incredibly straightforward to operate with no complicated settings. The smokeless design is a lifesaver, especially in apartments or smaller homes where smoke can be an issue. I've grilled without setting off any smoke alarms, which is a testament to its low-smoke technology.Clean Up: One of my favorite features is how easy it is to clean. The grill/ griddle and top lid are dishwasher-safe components means you can spend more time enjoying my meal and less time cleaning up if need to, But I usually hand wash the parts they clean easy in the sink. The non-stick coating prevents food from sticking, which simplifies the post-cooking cleanup even further.Design: The silver finish looks modern and fits well with any kitchen decor. The size is just right for family meals or small gatherings, accommodating up to six burgers or a few steaks or serval pancakes at once.My only note would be that, like any electric grill, you need to ensure your outlet can handle the 1800W power draw, but this is a minor consideration given the overall performance.In summary, the Ninja Sizzle GR101 has brought the joy of grilling indoors with results that are surprisingly similar to my outdoor summer grilling. If you're looking to grill without waiting for warm weather or want a versatile kitchen appliance, this is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone who loves grilled food but wants the ease and convenience of indoor cooking. And even if some things burn onto the surface if you are not carful it is easy to clean with dawn soap and a non abrasive scrubber. I've used a few different ones on mine dozens of times to get the cleaning done fast and it doesn't scratch the surface of the grill or griddle palates.
