Score: 81/100Rankings
The Cuisinart GR-6S is a 5-in-1 indoor electric grill featuring a smoke-less mode and independent temperature control across a 200 sq in surface. It may need factory-default tweaks and its cooking area, while generous, is smaller than XL-class competitors. Best suited for small households seeking precise, low-smoke indoor grilling.
The Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Indoor Grill offers a 1400-W heating element, 180-sq-in reversible ceramic cooking surface, and dual temperature zones for versatile indoor cooking. Its limited cord length and short warranty may be drawbacks for some users. Ideal for small families seeking a versatile, easy-clean countertop grill.
