Its water tray helps reduce smoke, though results vary by food and user.
Why this is our Budget pick
Buyers describe this Starfrit as a good small grill for indoor cooking, including in apartments and condos. They report successful burgers, steaks, chicken, wings and vegetables, with some noting clear grill marks and even cooking. Buyers also consistently describe it as easy to use. The adjustable temperature control and water tray explain those reports: the grill is designed for counter use, with drippings collected below the cooking surface. We chose it for the buyer evidence around simple indoor grilling and solid results across everyday foods, rather than for a promise of completely smoke-free cooking.

Buyers report that it cooks steaks, burgers, chicken and vegetables well, and several say it produces useful grill marks.

Smoke and heat are not consistent for everyone: buyer feedback is divided on both points, with some finding the heat weak or hard to regulate and others getting the heat they need. Cleaning is usually praised, but 21 unfavorable buyer mentions show that it is not effortless for everyone; one buyer called washing it a major pain.
