This actually good for indoor use? How is it smokeless?
The smokeless feature is for the grilling and works pretty well. When we bought ours (prior version without the probe), I wasn't aware that it wasn't intended for air frying. Having said that, I'd still buy it again and this price is significantly less than what we paid.
If purchasing specifically for the air fryer, I'd probably go with something more dedicated to air frying vs a multi function like this, but this is a good device if using for muti-purpose use. I do wish we had this one that comes with the probe where it shuts off automatically when desired temp is hit. We have that on our outdoor Ninja and it does make things a bit easier.
Not sure why this is a Slick Deal. Amazon has it $49 and only a 2.7 rating. Seems to be the same model. Couldn't find a link but simply Google the model number without Gourmia and it pops up.
I used to own one. The control interface sucks and did not work at all, one out of three times. The heating element is directly exposed to the dripping juices, which exacerbates the smoke and can get pretty bad. The smokeless option kinda-sorta-not-really works.
Bottom line, I returned it to Costo after about 8 months and three or four attempts at grilling burgers and chicken kabobs. I would not purchase or recommend it.
I have one of these without the temp probe, yes it smokes up, yea it is large for a kitchen counter. I ended up putting this on my apartment patio and using it as an outdoor grill since we are only allowed electric grills outside on our patios. Bought a little camp table from Walmart and a grill cover off Amazon to keep the pollen off it and now it's my outdoor grill for hotdogs and hamburgers. The heating element is right under the grill plate like right up against it and the holes in the plate are meant to stop it dripping directly onto the element but sometimes doesn't work as intended so let it preheat and get the grill hot before using it then when your done I put the lid and grill plate and drip plate into the dishwasher. The insides around the grilI are hard to clean, paid about $60 for this off woot over a year ago.
I don't own this model but I've had 3 other "Smokeless Grill/Griddles" since they always sound like a neat little thing to have, and assumed the "better versions" of them would actually fix the problems I've had in the past, but they're all the same.
These are typically very large units that take up a lot of counter space (almost 2x2 feet after you give it the recommended "clearance space" on all sides.
The many pieces inside make it a pain to clean as stuff will start to burn, drip, get sticks and you've got like 6-7 pieces to clean.
Despite all of that though, the deal breaker for me was just how slow these things are. The smokeless part seemed to work fine on all of mine, but it took forever to grill with. I bought this to make burgers and grill vegetables mostly. A $20 george foreman grill will do so much better on burgers and even the mess those make is a much easier cleanup than this. Cooking hotdogs on this thing seemed to take 30 minutes, about the same for grilling vegetables, and that gets you comparable results to about 3-4 minutes on the stove.
You also need to watch the cooking space to make sure stuff doesn't too close to the edges, or pile on top of eachother, as they'll both affect the cooking.
I wanted to like it, I tried with 3 different ones and they all gave me the same results. Looking at the breakdown of this one, it looks like the same thing again

Only good use for this is if your apartments ban gas grills, as electric is the only thing allowed.
