Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Grill Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The George Foreman Smokeless Digital Smart Select is a family-size indoor grill featuring a 90 sq in non-stick surface, digital touch controls, and patented smoke-reduction technology. Its larger footprint and lack of independent testing mean it may be less portable and its performance claims are unverified. Best suited for families seeking quick, low-smoke cooking.
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 are not represented in the available sources; the information consists mainly of manufacturer and retailer descriptions that highlight the smokeless performance, digital controls, and family-size capacity, but no independent testing or editorial ratings are provided.
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.
