Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black
Customer Review: BEST INDOOR GRILL EVER!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be the best indoor grill I've ever used. I live in an apartment in nyc and I love grilling but don't have some place I can grill outside so I have no choice but to grill indoors. I particularly love Korean BBQ and some Korean BBQ tends to create LOTS of smoke. LOTS of smoke. It's not like grilling a steak or chicken because of all the marination some of these meets have. Before this grill, when grilling, I used to open up all my windows, had all sorts of ventilation fans running, and take all the smoke detectors out. I've used all kinds of portable grills before, even others that you can put water into under the grill, to minimize smoke, but I still had to open all the windows and go through all the effort of taking out the smoke detectors, etc. On the other hand, the Sanyo grill does such a fantastic job that I don't even have to take out my smoke detectors or open the windows because of smoke. Of course, I'll open my windows to air out my place but more because I don't want barbeque smell lingering, then for the smoke. I just love this grill and my guests appreciate it as well. Forget other grills, this is the best.Customer Review: Sanyo HPS-SG3 200 Square-inch electric indoor barbeque grill, black
Summary: 5 Stars
All considered, I decided to give this Sanyo indoor grill a 5-star rating. It's probably more like 5 stars.
On the plus side, I really like the simplicity of this grill. It's also light-weight, registering a little under seven pounds, which means it's easy to move around - no breaking your back! It's also quite easy to clean: just soapy warm water and dry! The grill consists of three pieces: a metal grill, a sheet metal oil drip pan, and a plastic base. The base does feel a little insubstantial, but the whole thing, put together, is quite sturdy.
I also loved the price: I never imagined I could have a quality indoor grill for such a low price. (Thanks to Amazon, too?) This is probably what tilted me to the five-star rating. The grill, made in China, is of pretty good build quality, and looks like it'll last a long time. The price and value just can't be beat.
Above all, the grill really gives you delicious BBQ food! I've grilled steaks, pork chops, burgers, franks, chicken breasts, chicken legs, chicken wings, vegetables, and more, and *each and every time* the food came out absolutely delicious.
Customer Review: Very good product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is very good. First of all, I have not had many problems with smoke except when I do one of two things. If I don't put water in the drip pan (read the instructions!) then smoke will come out. If I spray butter or oil or something like that on the grill while it's hot, I'll get some smoke. that also includes putting a lot of oil on a piece of chicken then throwing it on the grill. However, it's not a significant amount of smoke to cause any problems. The grill does say "BBQ" on it, but it's really not. The food tastes great, even if you just marinate your meat in some simple spices. It comes out juicy and tasty. I haven't had much luck with cooking onions, partly because I'm impatient, but I'm sure it can be done. One complaint I have is that the temperature dial is not that accurate, which sucks. Oh, also, it would have been nice to have a lid with this grill.
Over all, I'm happy and satisfied with this product. My wife and I "fight" over cooking with it sometimes! I'm going to invite some people over and have some nice grilled talapia fillets!
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, so maybe awesome is a little bit strong but I am very happy with my new grill. I was looking for one that worked as well as my outdoor gas grill for flavor and texture and the Sanyo does! I had a different grill many years earlier that also worked well but finally wore out. Other models i've tried just didn't cook like an outdoor grill. Living on the central CA coast, I CAN bar-b-que year round but sometimes it's too cold or dark outside to bother. If anything, the meats i've grilled on the Sanyo might actually have a slightly BETTER taste and texture than my gas grill, and cooking time is about the same. And no flare-ups! It really is almost smoke-free grilling, though I still use my stove-top fan just in case. Only negative thing I can think of is it's a little bigger than I expected and I have to kinda re-arrange things to use it where I want to. But I DID order the family-size model (Sanyo does offer a slightly smaller model). All in all very happy and look forward to many years of use! PS- I only gave it 4 stars because I think there is always room for improvement...Customer Review: Works well enough...
Summary: 5 Stars
I considered giving this only 4 stars, but had to consider that it's not an outdoor grill with a cover, and it's not going to perform exactly like one. The only "issues" are that it takes about 15-20 minutes to heat up to full heat, and it takes a bit longer to cook most things. Again the main reason is because it is an indoor grill with no cover to contain the heat. However, all things considered, the grill is PLENTY large enough, I haven't used the entire grill and I've cooked for 6 people on this thing in one go. The grill IS smokeless, the only slight smoke that appears is right when marinated meat hits it, for about 5 seconds, then no more smoke. Cleanup is is a breeze...if only I had a bigger sink though... The drip pan can be a little tricky taking it to the sink when filled with water and grease, but I grill right near my sink now so no worries anymore. All in all, if looking for a convenient way to grill inside if the weather is bad or you live in an apartment with covered patios and fire codes/regulations, this grill is a great alternative!
