Indoor Grill, CUSIMAX Smokeless Grill Indoor, 1500W Electric Grill Griddle Korean BBQ with LED Smart Display & Tempered Glass Lid, Non-stick Removable Grill Plate & Griddle Plate, Black

I purchased this for my brother. He can not have any outdoor cooking heat source in the apartment he lives in. He cultivated the “grilling gene” my father passed on to us. From my understanding it’s simple to use, delivers great taste, no smoke, is simple to clean, and beats the hibachi hanging out the second story window🤣 “Perfect” for the apartment

I recently bought the Cusimax Smokeless Grill, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This grill has completely changed the way I cook indoors. Pros: No Smoke: The smokeless feature really works! I can grill without setting off my smoke detectors. Even Cooking: The heat distribution is excellent, ensuring everything cooks evenly. My steaks have never been juicier! Easy to Use: Setup was straightforward, and the temperature controls are intuitive. I love that I can adjust the heat based on what I'm cooking. Versatile: I’ve used it for veggies, fish, and even pancakes! It's perfect for any meal. Simple Cleanup: The removable grill plate makes cleaning a breeze. I just pop it in the dishwasher. Cons: Size: While it's compact, it may not fit larger cuts of meat or big family meals, but it’s perfect for smaller portions. Overall, the Cusimax Smokeless Grill is a fantastic investment for anyone who loves grilling but wants the convenience of indoor cooking. Highly recommend!

This smokeless indoor grill works well. We've grilled steaks and chicken kabobs that came out juicy and delicious. It is super easy to clean as it it non-stick. There is a non-stick drip pan below the heating elements that is sloped to guide liquids to a collection pan below and all these section can be removed for cleaning. It is smokeless...if you remember to turn on the fan, except if course when you open thee lid. I bought a portable vent hood also which pulls in whatever smoke there may be when you open the lid. Smokeless does not mean odorless. Since I don't like greasy cooking smells permeating my furniture and window treatments, I ordered ZorbX and hopefully that will fix the cooking oder issue. Since I did the cooking, my hair absorbed the cooking odors.

Can’t have gas or charcoal barbecue this is a great alternative. Easy cleanup, be sure to add a little smoke seasoning to give your food that outdoor grill taste. I use indoors on cooktop. Smokeless grilling

I thought this would be something we'd use occasionally, just for fun, but it turns out to be so useful we never put it away. It lives on the right half of our stove-top. We especially appreciate the griddle. One of the best things it does is to sear meat for braising. That task used to take a long time and fill the house with smoke, but now it's a breeze. The large griddle surface allows all the meat to sear at once, very quickly. There's still a little extra smoke in the house, but nothing like before. Surprisingly, it's also wonderful for cooking eggs and bacon. I can do fried, scrambled, or omelettes with ease, and after a bit of practice, I'm turning out perfect eggs that cook in just a few minutes. We buy cooked bacon, and I like to drop a few pieces on the griddle just as I'm turning my eggs, and it heats them up to a nice crispiness. Breakfast sausage also cooks up very nicely. I've been making stuffed peppers on the griddle, too. I soften the peppers in the microwave briefly, and then stuff them, and let them go on the griddle until everything is done. It's easy to clean up. I tried putting the grill and griddle in the dishwasher, but it doesn't do a great job on them, and it's really not necessary. A quick rinse under hot water with the scrub brush, and it's good to go. The non-stick surface is exactly what it claims. I recommend picking up a couple of wide silicone spatulas to avoid scratching it. Speaking of non-stick surface, and two spatulas, you might find that some items, especially fried eggs, will skitter around when you try to scoop them up with your spatula. It really is that slick! So we usually use two spatulas, one to keep the item from running away, and the other to slide under it. You can also let the fan stay running after you turn off the heat, which helps to contain any smoke while the grill is cooling off.

Before I start off my review, let me first tell you what made me come across this product and why this grill is such a lifesaver. Story: Ever since an apartment eviction, the long lasting pandemic, then my mom and I getting kicked out of her ex-neighbor friend’s house, I’ve been living for in a cave for a long time. What I mean by that is I forgot what it feels like to live in a real home again. Because everyday I’ve been ordering DoorDash food deliveries or having to buy microwavable meals. And even now, we’ve been staying at a hotel for a year now since last April. I can't even remember a time I had fresh home-cooked meals since our apartment eviction. All I know now is this hotel room has no kitchen, only has a small dorm sized fridge, and serves no free breakfast. So it was even worse now since there was nowhere nor no one who can cook foods for us. That’s when I started realizing I needed to do something because I’m out here wasting $430 a week at some rubbish hotel, while also spending DoorDash orders left to right that costs me on average $20 - $40 with $20 per day Uber trips to work since we have no car. Review: At first, I had thought of and considered the George Foreman or Hamilton Beach grill. But then, I’ve realized those would’ve smoked up the hotel’s fire alarm. I needed something that was more compact & portable, lightweight, and easy to use. Enter: The Cusimax indoor electric smokeless portable grill. I wish I had found this sooner... but my search is over! I had to get a loan to buy this but it was worth it to save money. Here's more reasons why… Pros: 1. This product is easy to use and clean. It literally gives you a guide with all the components that can come off assembled and disassembled. In minutes, I was able to start cooking like a chef with this thing. And for the smokeless feature, all you need to do is add water to the bucket underneath and turn the fan on. 2. It comes with it’s own grill plate, spatula, and top glass lid. 3. The grill is also very portable and takes up less space. It features a very fancy LED, showing the current temperature so you don’t have to wait and guess on pre-heat. On top of that, you can use its touchscreen to quickly turn up or down the temperature control button. Cons: 1.The only complaints I have currently is why hadn’t I found this product sooner? 2. Although, there is one else add-on from Cusimax store I’d recommend that didn’t come already bundled with this and that’s the griddle plate. You'd have to get that seperate if you plan on also cooking breakfast or other foods that rely on frying oil so it don't splatter down the holes of the main grill plate. Other recommendations & conclusion: And speaking of frying, another product that goes hand to hand with this is an air fryer. I brought the Dreo air fryer which lets me make french fries without the need of oil and is also portable like this grill. Combine both of these products and you’ve got yourself a mini cookware kitchen! Already was I able to multi-task with them both to make me burgers / chicken and fries with ease. Saves so much time and hassle with less resource too.

Make sure to inspect your product when unpacking the box, when we opened and assembled our grill there was a huge crack on the bottom of the base piece. Amazon thankfully sent out a replacement without questions. We washed all the pieces before testing out the grill. I recommend for at least 30 minutes turning on the grill to 400F at a well ventilated area so the scent of the heating coils to subside before first use. We cooked unseasoned pork belly strips at 450F, there was no smoke and only an occasional steam which went away right away. In order to further minimize the cooking smell we placed the lid. This is where the design flaw presented itself. The steam from the cooking was being pushed out through the fan and moisture started to build up under the entire grill. In the middle of cooking we found there was a small puddle building up underneath. Is it a deal breaker? No, but unexpected, so next time we will place a dish towel underneath to minimize the moisture build up while cooking with the lid on. Overall, it is a great product from first use and cleaning process was a breeze.

Something to note, I bought this specifically for kbbq and have only used it twice. -Meats tried: sliced brisket, sliced rib-eye, pork jowl, kalbi -Fed 6 adults, 1 teen, and 3 kids for this session I thought it was very easy to intuitive to use and set up. The only real 'building' you have is to screw in the handle for the lid (which I don't really plan on using much). Size: I would put this at a medium-leaning large size. It was tough to keep up with the demand for meat for everyone all at once (because I was feeding 10 people), but it did a good job. It did take a little longer to find my grove as I started with the grill plate vs the griddle, but things started to move quickly once I did. For reference, I fit an entire pack of Trader Joe's Kalbi at once on the griddle. If I remember correctly, the grill plate did have a bit more cooking area. Grill experience: Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The smell is definitely still there, but it definitely did not get smokey at all. The hot spots on the griddle were more toward the middle. The further parts did not heat up as well but didn't end up being that big a deal for me. Only wish: My only minor gripe was that there was no fat drain for the griddle. You could scoop it over the edge, and would fall out into the draining parts. However, it did wipe up pretty easily with a paper towel and made the rest of the clean-up pretty easy. Clean-up: Top-level is the grill/griddle, then a 'funnel' level both below/to the side of the grill/griddle, (the heating element), then it would go to the catch at the bottom pan. At a minimum, you will need to clean the grill/griddle + funnel part every time. The funnel is the 'sides' of the griddle. The grilling element, for me, didn't get dirty at all but it could be different cooking something fatty on the grill plate. Conclusion: If I could start over, I would buy this again, maybe two of them. For a smaller party or family use, I think 1 of these would be perfect in size. The smokeless aspect definitely works, and it isn't too bad to clean up. Most of the other options for smokeless grills that I saw did not come with a griddle. For KBBQ, I would only want to use the griddle vs. a grill plate. The grill plate would be useful for like steaks.
