Pros:- non-stick surface makes it extremely easy to clean. Charred food debris just slides off the surface.- base of the unit is made of plastic and acts as an insulator so there is no need to put anything under it to protect your tabletop.- safety mechanism built in so that grill cannot be operated without drip pan.- takes only 10 minutes to heat up fully.- grill is a heavy cast iron so holds heat well. I have seen other similar grills by companies like Sanyo and only Zojurushi uses a heavy cast iron grill.- heats very well. Grills meat very fast.- no smoke generated- not sure why, but there just isn't any.Cons:- none so far.Notes:- if you want to grill vegetables, I'd recommend coating them with some oil before putting them on the grill, otherwise the veges tend to get dry.- power cable is short, so make sure you have an extension cable handy.

Yes, it is....That is the problem with all the other electric grills on the market...they just don't get hot enough. This one does and I think it is just smashing !! I can control the temperature, it heats evenly and leaves nice grill marks on the food.....It is perfect for someone like me who does not have time to wait around for a charcoal fire to heat up and does not particularily like gas grills..... From onions to eggplant and shrimp to steak, this little cookery has lovingly seared my heart....It's just great !! It is certainly worth owning and I can highly recommend it to everyone !!

The Zojirushi EB-CC15 Indoor Electric Grill is a great indoor grill, and a large part of the reason my friend got me this one was due to the Amazon reviews. At first I was somewhat skeptical, since most similar products are significantly marked down from list price. But after spending a month really using this guy, I have become a believer. Zojirushi's reputation is well deserved!Pros:+ Great performance from the grill with a variety of meats and veggies+ Detachable power cord provides safety and easier storage+ Non-stick surface really works!+ The lower reservoir catches excess fat and makes clean up easy+ The size is perfect for grilling large quantities at once+ The surface seems better designed for even grilling with wider bars than other units+ The surface definitely is more durable than others like the Forman Grill+ There is still some smoking, but it is very little and does lessen with more frequent useCons:- Must be cleaned carefully because it cannot be fully submerged- Limited temperature settings (low, medium, high), though not a big deal- Still costs a premium relative to other indoor grillsOther Considerations- You should be careful not to use metal utensils that could scratch or erode the surface- While cleaning is easy because of the good surface, it does take a little time- Because of the large grilling area, this will take up some countertop room- If you don't want any smoking, use a lower heat settingSetting this thing up the first time is very easy. The bottom try is stainless steel and cleans easily. When you place the grill on top, you have to line it up properly with the base and the connectors for the power element which plugs into the heating element.I did notice that the meats I cooked smoked a little the first few weeks I used it. Obviously, if you set it to high, foods will cook quicker but also smoke slightly more. Interestingly, it seems to smoke less now. Perhaps the non-stick surface just needed to be *seasoned* or burned in a little more. It will still smoke a little, but definitely not too much.Cleaning it is easy, but it does take a little time. Read and follow the instructions! You can remove the catch tray and clean it normally, but you can't submerge the grill portion because it has the heating element inside of it. Once you get used to it you should have no problems cleaning up.Comparing To The AlternativesI have used grill pans like the Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan on the stove, but they seem to not work as well or cook as evenly as this. Also, this is just more convenient for grilling a larger quantity at once.I have also used the George Foreman GRP4 Next Grilleration 4-Burger Grill with Removable Plates, White in the past, which are not bad but they tend to be messier and the non-stick surface definitely seemed to not work as well and chip away with normal use. In addition, the Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black is a little less money but has thinner grill bars and not as good of a reputation. The Delonghi BG24 Perfecto Indoor Grill was also an option, but I am glad I got the Zojirushi.After using this for a while, I think this is a great price for a very well made and solid unit.This is a great product. Give it a try.Enjoy!
