Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Grill Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Breville BGR700BSS Sear and Press Grill provides a large open grilling surface with reversible ceramic plates and independent temperature controls for versatile indoor cooking. Its premium price and lack of a lid are notable trade-offs. Best for home cooks who want a high-end countertop grill that can also function as a griddle.
The Hamilton Beach Indoor Grill with Hot and Cold Smoke Infuser offers a spacious 116 sq in PFAS-free ceramic cooking surface and dual smoke capabilities for indoor grilling and smoking. It lacks a built-in timer and requires unplugging to power off, which can be inconvenient. Best suited for small families or apartment dwellers who want versatile indoor smoking.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the grill's dual hot/cold smoke capability, generous 116 sq in PFAS-free cooking surface, and precise 450 °F temperature range, calling it an innovative indoor solution for smoked flavor. However, they criticize the lack of an integrated timer and a dedicated power-off switch, noting that users must unplug the appliance to stop it.
Everyday users generally praise the ability to add smoke flavor indoors, the spacious cooking area for family meals, and the dishwasher-safe parts that make cleanup easy. The most common complaints revolve around the missing timer, the need to purchase wood chips separately, and the inconvenience of having to unplug the unit to turn it off.
