Elite Gourmet EMG-980B Smokeless Electric Tabletop Grill Nonstick, 6-Serving, Dishwasher Safe Removable Grilling Plate, Grill Indoor, Tempered Glass Lid, Adjustable Temperature, 14" Black

One word: Wow! I love this grill! It's a perfect size to cook an entire meal for two: veggies and a protein. And it cooks everything perfectly without hot spots--all even cooking.Nothing sticks to the grill, and it cleans easily, and the cooking plate is removable. It's dishwasher safe, although it's so easy to clean, why do it. The entire grill is waterproof.I've used this grill a few times and find it convenient, easy to use, easy to clean, and my food is cooked perfectly. No more greasy, difficult-to-clean barbecues for me. This is a keeper.This is my third Elite Gourmet small kitchen appliance. I find each one excellent.

I was using a George Foreman grill but it never got hot enough and the plates kept falling off. Got this electric indoor grill and it has been wonderful. Heats very quickly, sears the meat, has a cover to keep smoke at bay, and easy clean up. Highly recommended and the 11" size is perfect for 2 people.

The only thing I didn't like about the grill was that Amazon ships it in it's retail packaging without any packing around it, I mean come on it has a glass lid, and the first one I received the box had a hole in it and the knob was smashed to bits, but the replacement came quickly and was also shipped in retail package, no box. As far as the grill goes, it's awesome, after initial clean and setup I lightly brushed the cooking surface with olive oil and it came up to 400 temp pretty fast, then I threw on a few batches of veggies and dogs and everything cooked fast and thoroughly, can't wait to try steaks on it. Little smoke but I was smart and used it outside, cleaning was a cinch but don't forget about the grease catch as it's kind of hidden in the base and easy to miss.

I just received this item and used it as soon as I could wash it and preheat it. I marinated chicken breasts in anticipation of receiving the grill. It is so easy to use. It's a perfect size and price. I wanted something simple to operate and easy to clean. It grilled my chicken perfectly then I took the grill piece when it cooled and put it in the dishwasher. It cleaned up beautifully. It's not bulky so I found a spot in the kitchen to store it because I plan on using it a lot. I do all the cooking and grilling and I was tired of running outside to the big gas grill while trying to do the inside cooking as well. I can grill in the winter now, too. It was entirely smokeless because of the water tray under the grill. I wish I had bought one of these sooner. The cord is a decent length, not like the really short ones, so you can move it away from the wall a little. There are just two of us so there is more than enough room for our needs, and plenty of room for more.

For the price, you could not ask for more. Great grill. The cover keeps the smoke at a minimum. Washes off easily. If you are used to a George Foreman Grill, it will take twice as long to cook food but since those are not really available anymore at the same quality of the original, the extra time is not a consideration for us.Very pleased with this item

I put in a lot of time and research reviewing electric grills and decided on the Elite Gourmet EMG-980B Smokeless Electric Tabletop Grill - and so glad I did!I want that grill look and taste that you don't get from the frying pan or stove and reviewed grills from $30 to $200+. Price wasn't as much of an issue but I definitely wanted the value. Why pay too much when it seems an electric grill basically works the same way...it heats up on a grill plate. But don't get me wrong...this is my food we are talking about and I'm willing to pay a higher price for a higher grade of quality.I came across the Elite Gourmet 14-inch smokeless electric grill (EMG-980B) and compared to numerous brands and models - and this is why I chose Elite Gourmet:The Price:The price wasn't my biggest consideration but even when reviewing high-end grills at much higher costs, the EMG-980B still came out on top. Quite honestly, you cannot beat this unbelievable value.Electric Power/Watts/Temperature:This model works at 1300 watts and 450 degrees where the vast majority seem to be at 1000 watts. This assures me the true temperature reaches the level it needs to be at regardless of what it says on the dial. Watts matter.The Cover:The most simplest thing matters the most for an electric grill - and that is the lid (cover). Many electric grills do not have one and it is essential when using your electric grill to distribute the heat when cooking. Take it off near the end for the full grill look and taste.Grill Quality of the Plate:In reading so many reviews of various products, one of the chief complaints was the grill did not distribute heat evenly or reach the stated temperature. This grill plate cooks evenly throughout the plate. Even better is that the grill plate heats up immediately - there is literally no wait time. Pretty impressive.Plate Type:Most models had flat grills where this model has ridges. To be honest, I thought I would have preferred the flat grill but after cooking meat skewers and steaks, I see why the ridges are absolutely better - it allows the grease to separate and go to the outer ring and drip pan. Also, it leaves grill marks on your steak which looks like you actually cooked it on the outdoor BBQ grill.Plate Size:Elite Gourmet has three sizes (11-inch, 12-inch and 14-inch). I ordered the 14-inch plate thinking maybe I should have went with the 12-inch - but glad I went with the 14-inch as it is perfect when cooking a couple steaks and/or adding various veggies around the plate. I'm glad I didn't order the 12-inch. The 14-inch is just right. And for some odd reason, the 14-inch was less money than the 12-inch - so scored even better on that one!Non-Stick and Easy to Clean:The marketing states this grill is non-stick and easy to clean. My first use was cooking BBQ pork skewers and sure enough, the plate is nonstick and easy to clean as advertised. I simply wiped down the plate to remove the BBQ sauce char (and garlic) with ease. It made it quick and easy to use the grill right away for my veggies. A+Smokeless GrillJust about every electric grill claims theirs is smokeless - but it basically is just a form of marketing magic. Now when you cook with the lid/cover on, it is essentially smokeless (until you remove the lid). However, it is pretty unrealistic to expect any type of cooking device to be "smokeless" as it is a matter of physics. Unless there is some sort of air induction feature, this is basically the same for all types of models.Value:I challenge anyone to find a better electric grill than this one based on the quality alone but take into consideration the price point, you simply cannot beat the overall value. There is a reason the Elite Gourmet Electric Grill is an Amazon Choice product.

Very satisfied with this indoor grill. It’s simple but does its job well. Grilled pork chops with small seasoned potatoes the day I received. No smoke, heated up real quick and done a great job. Took no time to clean cooking surface and lid! Good for a couple or small family. Recommend.
