Great review! Today I've been comparing this Hamilton Beach grill to a couple of contact grills trying to decide which direction to go. Your video was helpful.
Just ordered mine. Thanks for showing clean up in detail. I don't have a dishwasher. Other video I've see didn't show the underside and element connections very well. Now I know what I am getting.
I enjoyed this video! My husband and I purchased a similar Hamilton Beach model in January 2021. The thermostat seemed a little "off"...super hot, to the point that some of the plastic body in the base melted and warped, and it took some adjusting of cooking times, but we like it otherwise, particularly in winter when outdoor grilling in Michigan in the snow is not fun. I especially appreciated your review of the cleaning aspect of this unit. So far, I have not used the dishwasher for cleaning any of the parts that are "dishwasher-safe", but I agree with you, definitely a gentle scrub brush required to thoroughly clean it by hand. Also, it has a fairly small surface area, but it's perfect for two people for weeknight meals! So far, we have used it for NY strip steaks, burgers, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, grilled vegetables, stuffed mushrooms, and Greek pork souvlaki on skewers. It is a fun kitchen gadget! Thanks for sharing your review. You are so sweet and your delightful personality comes through in the video!
Wow, even on Sear mine hasn't gotten hot enough to melt the plastic. I just used mine over the weekend to make bacon cheddar burgers (it fit 6 of them just fine). I still hand wash it as I don't want to remove and of the non-stick qualities.
The food looks well done , I put 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom tray, fat that falls doesn"t smoke and the tray is very easy to clean. I don't know why you have so much smoke , I think you might be cooking on sear. I sear for 3 or 4 minutes turn the meat over sear for about a minute and turn the temp down to 400 . Good video maybe better without the fan noise and the piano .
Someone commented on here to not immerse the grill plates in water, but I think he meant the grill base where the electronics are. It's perfectly safe to wash the grill plates. In fact, this is from the product description: EASY TO CLEAN: Indoor grill hood, plate, and extra large drip tray are all removable and dishwasher safe.
Your Hamilton grill smokes a lot compared to other videos on UA-cam for the Hamilton smokeless Grill. The videos that I watched for the grill didn't smoke at all. I hope you didn't get a bad one. You did a very nice presentation.
My indoor grill die :( and I am researching and this one is one of the ones I’m looking at. Mine had ceramic plates it lasted a year I guess I should be lucky but for the price that I paid I really expected it to last longer. Have you noticed your food sticking on this one now that you’ve had it longer?
No really, but I never put them in the dishwasher. I have noticed with non-stick surfaces that washing them in the dishwasher removed the non-stickiness. I hand wash them.
The teflon grill is delicate and should not be left overnight . while its warm clean with a paper towel and later with just a soft sponge soap and water . Even the brush will wear out the teflon coating .
hi. whats the difference between this model and the one that looks the same but does not have the glass window; do they have the same size, wattage, and other things like the price?
Please help!! I just bought this indoor grill from amazon but I don't know what to do before starting grilling. I think one purchaser had said something like, "Attention, don't forget to preheat first,,, clean with grease first". etc etc. Will you please tell me what I need to do before using this grill for the first time, .....before putting my hamburgers etc there and start cooking.
Wash the parts that will be touching your food, put some water in the tray (to prevent excess smoking) and preheat it. That's all. I turn it up to Sear until the green light comes on, sear them on both sides, then turn it down a bit until they are done to your liking. If you like them medium rare, then searing them on both sides might be done enough. Also, hand wash the grill parts and the lid. Do not immerse the base. Do not put them in the dishwasher. I hope this helps.
Ah. That makes sense. The camera on my laptop isn't nearly as good as the one on the cell phones,so I rarely use it anymore. I thought it might be my 1990s wallpaper. 😋
You must have gotten a defective one because this has not been my experience at all. In fact, I just grilled marinated chicken breasts on mine for salads and it worked beautifully.
Great review! Today I've been comparing this Hamilton Beach grill to a couple of contact grills trying to decide which direction to go. Your video was helpful.
I am so glad this helped you. I have been using it every week and the more I use it, the more I love it.
Thank you for your review! Very informative and I really enjoyed it
I hope it helped you make your decision.
Thanks for the review, I just got this today and plan on making burgers tonight for dinner.
Wonderful! Let me know what you think of it. Did you get the brush for cleaning it?

Laura Parks I just did a review for mine I love it but warning first time use isn’t as great as it is now using it again....
I love mine and it gets used often - especially for sausages. Brats and Italian sausages cook up nicely on this. Still easy to clean.
I have the same grill,( without the window) & the oxo brush too. I had great results on cooking with mine too!
It's a sweet little grill, isn't it? So glad you are enjoying yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Thanks great video - going to buy one...
Thanks for the review. I sure would like something like this but not place to store it.

How's your grill holdin up as of today? Is it still working fine? Any updates? Thanks.
Fullblown I just did a review on my grill I love it but it was even better the second time I used it maybe it needed broken into ....

Johnnyflammable I just did a review on the one with the glass ... I love it

Would I need to wash this after every use? And what about the right side can you grill there or just vegetables.
I would wash it after every use.
@@benitastory8213 Okay thank you.
Would appreciate a update do you still use it ? Is it still going strong ?
I do still use it and, yes, it's still going strong. Hmmm... Now I want grilled hot dogs. ;)
@@benitastory8213 Awesome I just ordered one and was hoping the last and m as me it past first impressions. 😅 Thank you 😊
Hi! How is it now a year + later?
Works great! Marinated a couple of steaks a week ago, and grilled them up. Delicious!! And still easy to clean.
is the tray & cover cheap plastic? 9:21
The tray underneath is plastic, but the cover is metal.
@@benitastory8213thanks
did you time travel back to the 80s? lol
Why?
@@benitastory8213 the filter on your camera makes this look like an old home video lol
Ah. That makes sense. The camera on my laptop isn't nearly as good as the one on the cell phones,so I rarely use it anymore. I thought it might be my 1990s wallpaper. 😋
@@BenitaStory haha. anyways, I bought the grill based off of you review. I really like it. I only wish it could retain heat better
I bought one of these and it’s a complete waist of money. It does not get hot enough and takes forever to cook on. All hype and zero preformance
You must have gotten a defective one because this has not been my experience at all. In fact, I just grilled marinated chicken breasts on mine for salads and it worked beautifully.
That is not true. Dont waste your money . I got one now in selling it for $2
Sorry yours didn't work for you, but just because yours must be defective doesn't mean that all of them are bad. I love mine and it works great.
