I have the Phillips, and it's awesome! Just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Many folks complain that it doesn't brown or char that well, but it does if you turn it on and let it sit for a full 10 minutes before putting anything on the grill bars. Also, MARINATE all meats. It's a nice to have for other grills, but it's essential for the Phillips since its using radiant heat rather than direct flame or element heat. Do these steps, and you too will love the Phillips. I now prefer it to anything else for grilling, and the only better flavor out there is from charcoal.
Does it taste similar to a gas outdoor grill? I'd love to get a concrete answer on this as I live in a smaller apartment and would like to retire my older outdoor portable gas grill.
The Delonghi instructions say the grill plate is dishwasher safe but it also says not to get the socket that’s attached to it wet. That’s contradictory. Anyone figure this out?
Good review. To make a good review better mention the price of the two grills. How easy it is to tear down and store the grills when they’re not in use. Talk a little bit about the trade-offs between the two grills. The review does itA little bit but it would be good to add a summary at the end summing up the differences. Again I enjoyed the review my comments are met in the spirit of constructive criticism of what is a very good review
I don't understand these products. You can buy a Lodge or Emeril cast iron skillet with raised grooves for grill marks and fat catching. It gets much hotter than either product and costs $30. And it will last forever, producing better tasting food.
I dont understand why does the phillips only have one temperature to cook with, some foods may burn or cook to fast if it has one cooking temperature setting.
Your right,thats why I went with the Power smokeless grill. It has three temperature settings. The problem with it is you set the temperature at the beginning and that is the temperature it has to stay at the entire time, you can't adjust it while you are cooking. The good thing about it is it has a lid and it comes with a griddle plate for cookin up a mess o flapjacks.
@@davidsheriff9274 The only thing I don't like about the power smokeless grill is there's a lot of cleaning you have to do with that grill, most grills is 2 piece cleaning, the power smokeless grill is 3 piece of cleaning and wiping besides it also don't give great grill marks but I guess none of the grills is perfect...
I'm debating on getting the Philips but have read reviews about the outside casing melting. Is that a design flaw when it gets too hot or are those just defective units that got melted?
This is a month old, but the outside casing is cool to the touch for me while cooking. Able to be lifted with my bare hands. So I'm assuming it was defective units. Not not affiliated with the grill makers in any way but I'm fucking in love with it so I decided to search for videos online lol.
Just wondering if it's really smokeless? I can't believe you can cook anything and not have any smoke. Or does smokeless really just mean it doesn't spatter?
Bruce, the grills may be all the same, but come with different accessories - one looks like it comes with a "Wire grilling grid accessory" - I hope this helps!
I noticed you place a wood board under neath. I live in an apartment and obviously do not want to damage anything. Do you need to protect the counter surfaces in that manner? Perhaps I can go on the terrace? Thank you
Hi Catherine, there is no need for a wood board (or anything) underneath these units - we use these cutting boards for visual purposes in our video and nothing more. You should be fine to use on the counter top :)
This is a grill, its more for grilling stuffs like steak or chicken chop, creating an indoor bbq sort of cooking effect. You should use a normal frying pan or maybe even an iron skillet. Heat from grill is not suitable for most chinese cooking style like dumplings.
Hey Christina Mohan, The Philips Smokeless Grill is a couple hundred dollars more - you can check the most current prices with the links that are in the description 👨🍳
@@EverythingKitchens Tried it with some steaks set of the smoke detector in the kitchen took it back and the sale lady said a lot of them came back for that reason really smokeless for some things

Jeff, thanks for the protips! We'll have to try marinating some chicken and pork tenderloins to test out 😉
@@EverythingKitchens You're welcome! Thanks for the great video review and comparison!

@@braddorcas9363 my thoughts exactly..i want something for an i door tiny apartment as i no longer have a belcony in this new place...great question
Thanks for the comparison. I will absolutely be going with a smokeless version for my apartment!
Thanks for the help I appreciate it
Smoke Less not smokeless
The Delonghi instructions say the grill plate is dishwasher safe but it also says not to get the socket that’s attached to it wet. That’s contradictory. Anyone figure this out?
Ahhh...so first click is keep warm....2nd is for COOK! THX!

It produces less smoke. Duh.
They're buying it for the less smoke so they can use it in their kitchen without setting off the smoke alarm.
Indirect heat
So which one is this video saying is better?

The Delonghi - what’s the nonstick coating made of?
Can you add foil to the sides of the Phillips to avoid the splatter stains?
No! But I use foil on the drip catcher at the bottom of the unit.

@@mprose is the food dry since it doesn't have a lid?
@@msummer6926 No it is not! Melt in the mouth succulent 😋🥩
Do you recommend filling the drip pan on the Philips with some water too?
Rich, I don't think it's necessary to add water as the Philips drip pan stays cool because of the angle of the heating elements.
keep your food moister
Yes, very helpful video and very well presented. One question though: can the Philip's grill be used outdoors? Like on a deck.
The official manual states: "This appliance is only intended for indoor use. Do not use it outdoors"
Simply amazing!!!
Glad you think so!
Everything Kitchens Going to buy one now!!
I just wish they'd stop calling half these things "grills" when most of them are griddles, as you properly pointed out.
Frozen patties yes or no for this grill
You could do it yes, but would just take a bit longer than a fresh patty 🍔
Just wondering if it's really smokeless? I can't believe you can cook anything and not have any smoke. Or does smokeless really just mean it doesn't spatter?
It is smoke less, not smokeless. I sometimes place the unit on top of my stove so the smoke goes up and into the vent.
So you only have one temperature setting for cooking, that's crazy.
How do you clean it? I heard it kinda is a issue to clean the i side well
Forgot to mention how Philips's plastic body melts. look at all the negative reviews on Amazon
I only saw 2 negative reviews and one was because the grill wasn't included. All the others I read were all positive and great.
good review..
Is the food from Phillips dryer because there is no cover?
I wish he'd answer your question bcuz I'm curious too
@@msummer6926 The food is never dry. Steaks, chicken, fish, all perfectly done.
No problem with dryness. Always preheat unit for 10 minutes before adding meat/fish.
On Philips website there are 3 different models, but they don't tell you the difference among them.
Bruce, the grills may be all the same, but come with different accessories - one looks like it comes with a "Wire grilling grid accessory" - I hope this helps!

DeLonghi didn't have the sense to create some sort of cap for the temperature control?
Was there grease splatters from the Philips grill being as it doesn't have a lid?
Michelle, there will be some splatters from the Philips when cooking your food. I hope this helps!
i like to coat my steaks with olive oil then season, would that be a problem for the phillips indoor grill?
GQ, You may get a little smoke if any of that oil drips onto the heating element. It should make a nice sear though!
@@EverythingKitchens thanks for the feed back much appreciated
good information... I LIKE TO SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL.
Thanks for the sub!
Too bad the Phillips doesn't have a top to it
Its smokeless, why do you need need a top?
@@jasonsoh79 .... to cook things like Chinese dumplings... To stop the splattering of certain foods, etc

Good job :)
Thanks! 😄
What's the price difference on the two
Hey Christina Mohan, The Philips Smokeless Grill is a couple hundred dollars more - you can check the most current prices with the links that are in the description 👨🍳
I have seen them cheaper on ebay though.
Hi, what about the Power Smokeless Grill, as seen on TV?
Beverly Maloy, I personally haven't tried that grill - if I get my hands on one I'll test it out and compare to these!
@@EverythingKitchens Tried it with some steaks set of the smoke detector in the kitchen took it back and the sale lady said a lot of them came back for that reason really smokeless for some things
@@youbetcha1695 that was the Power Smokeless Grill that smoked up? I wonder if the fat dripped on to the elements somehow.
@@EverythingKitchens Yes the fan was on high water was in the drip pan 4 steaks dead center Sams Club $99 they did not carry them long.90 days at most I am a retired chef I had high hopes for it just didn't work out
@@youbetcha1695 what a bad experience! Searing without smoke isn't the easiest thing to accomplish.
What did you say spiders?? 🤔
Philips 👍👍👍
Yeah neither for me no thanks.
$50 compared to $200 lol...
The too expensive Phillips grill SUCKS...do not buy it
Good Gawd people no such thing as smokeless or smoke free grill, not realllly. Silly humans.
Speexis too slowwww. Poor vocal skills to away from the good review.
