Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sanyo HPS-SG2 Indoor Barbeque Grill with 120-Square-Inch Nonstick Cooking Surface
Customer Review: Great Grill
Summary: 5 Stars
Years ago when I was a struggling actor I had a small unit which had a small grill and an electric Burner. I would make a small pot of rice on one side and grill meat on the other. It only fit 2 pieces of chicken but it was delicious when marinated or with brushed on BBQ sauce.
Its been twenty years and finding this great grill brings back the memories and grilled flavor I've missed. I live in a large city so BBQ is usually takeout or expensive restaurant fare. With this Sanyo Grill you not only get the dependable Brand name of Sanyo, but grilling shishkebab, steaks, ribs, vegetables and more, a healthy and easy project. I put a large roasting pan or aluminum foil over food for a smoky taste.
As another review suggested, after grilling I lay a wet paper towel over the grill. When it cools the grill wipes clean. As for the back I use a regular pot and pan pad making sure not to touch the top grill part. Keep the plug in part out of the water.
Enjoy.

Recieved the grill on saturday and used it right away. Already cooked burgers and steaks on it and it works great. There was a little smoke when I cooked the burgers but not bad. Just use the water in the drip pan. But It fits right on top of my stove so I used the vent from my stove to keep the smoke (what little there was) down. The Ribeye's came out perfect. Cooked for ten minutes a side on around 325-350 degrees (it is kinda hard to tell what temp your on you pretty much have to guess)and they came out so tender and juicy and just perfect, grill marks and all. Clean up is a breeze. Just dont overfill your drip pan with water or it will be hard to move to the sink. Use a little cooking spray (put this on while the unit is cold or you will get alot of smoke) and the unit practically wipes clean with no effort. I see me using this product alot. If you add a small amount of smoke flavoring to your marinade it makes it taste like you cooked it on a charcoal grill.Customer Review: Not worth the money

After a few days of research, I decided to purchase this product. I made a mistake. After following the instructions as they were written, I determined a few things:
1. The grill is not smoke free. It isn't even close to that claim.
2. Even on the highest setting, there is not enough heat to cook a steak to medium or completely cook a boneless chicken breast, without drying it out and ruining it.
3. Even with cooking spray added to the grilling surface, cleaning this product is time consuming and difficult.
4. The coating on the drip pan started to come off after the second cleaning.
I finally gave up on the product and contacted Sanyo via their website to express my feelings. Sanyo emailed me back and gave me 24 hours to contact them or they assumed the problems had been corrected. The customer service was non-existant.
I would not recommend this to anyone. It is a waste of money.
Customer Review: Better than expected

My husband ordered me this grill for Christmas after I saw it on America's Test Kitchen. For $40 I didn't expect alot. It is easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning, heats up quickly and has minimal smoke. I put the drip pan in the dishwasher and spray the cook top off in the sink and use a little scrub brush. I can get it clean in a couple of minutes, but I will try the paper towel trick. I keep mine next to the stove so I can turn the exhaust fan on when I cook. So far, I have grilled chicken, shrimp and pork chops. Another review was correct in that it isn't exactly a true grilled flavor, but still does a good job especially on the shrimp. My goal it to lose a little weight and thought an indoor grill would help me cut down on oil and keep my husband from complaining about "bland food". I do wish it had a lid, but will try using those disposable aluminum pans. Overall, it was better than I expected.Customer Review: LOVE THIS GRILL!

I've been wanting an indoor grill for years, but didn't want to spend the money on a new stove with an embedded grill since my stove works fine. I took a chance on this Sanyo Grill and am SO GLAD that I did.
I use it right on my existing stove, so if there is any smoke, (which has been so minimal), I can just turn on my stove fan and it takes care of the smoke, which again is MINIMAL.
I've cooked filet mignon, boneless pork chops, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages and even veggies and it's awesome. The cooking time has been totally acceptable and I feel that I'm able to monitor the cooking time better than running outside to the gas grill we have on our deck.
I would HIGHLY recommend this grill and for the price, you can't beat it. Clean up is a breeze and my sister just ordered one of her own and she is a gourmet cook!
