I've owned and loved the Foreman Grill's over the years, and my biggest complaint was the messy grease tray and the fact they were either "on" or "Off" without much extra control. Besides that, loved them for things like burgers. Very light smoke compared to a stovetop.
I was looking for something simple, something to make burgers, hotdogs, or just use for grilling vegetables on. These seemed to be perfect!
They generally take up a lot of kitchen space and have a very small cooking area (this one seems to be 10x12", so just slightly bigger than a piece of paper). Food needs to be spaced out on it, not overlapping and generally not close to the edges. This gives very little space to work with, even for just 2 people since everything is laying flat on it.
The ones I've used have generally needed the glass cover to be truly smokeless - without the cover, it's still a bit smokey but not much. The bigger issue was that when you have the smokeless setting on (typically a fan to pull the smoke and grease into a tray of water), the food cooks crazy slow. You'll be cooking that hotdog for 20 minutes or grilling veggies for 30 when you could accomplish the same (with more smoke) in about 1-2 minutes on a stovetop. The cleanup is also terrible as you're juggling metal grates with food cooked on it and trays of grease-water, hoping to not spill anything.
I've tried to love it, I thought other brands could do it better, but they've all been awful and I kept falling for it thinking it would be different.
Again, no experience at all with this one, but I've been disappointed with every single one of these.. if you have any other options available. I'd rather use the Saute function of my instantpot than these again.

Power XL Smokeless Electric Indoor
Smokeless do work mostly. But damn takes forever to cook and a lot of pieces to clean afterward
