Five cooking configurations in one machine, full grill, half grill/half griddle, full griddle, panini press, and waffle maker. Dishwasher-safe plates and precise digital temperature control make it Good Housekeeping's top overall pick.
Our experts found the digital controls easy to use and appreciated being able to set a specific temperature for more precise cooking, unlike other models.
It also converts to a griddle (we cooked eight pancakes at once!), you can buy waffle plates for an addition cooking capability or you can press paninis between the two plates.
I have the Cuisinart Griddler which is pretty decent.
Top pick from both Serious Eats and Epicurious for indoor grilling. Gets hotter than competitors, produces minimal smoke, and cleans up fast thanks to full nonstick coating on both sides of the grate.
Does the work of six appliances, grill, air fryer, roaster, broiler, baker, and dehydrator, in one unit. The 500°F grill plate and built-in probe thermometer make it the most capable indoor grill for families.
Serious Eats' runner-up pick at a fraction of the price of premium models. The viewing window lid and adjustable temperature make it a solid everyday indoor grill for apartment dwellers.
Serious Eats' splurge pick with a tilted grill plate that channels grease away from the heating element to reduce smoke. At $350, it's for serious indoor grillers who want premium build quality and precise control.
