First off, please note that I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.
This grill is super simple to use. It has no dials or buttons at all. Simple just plug it in and wait for the green light to start grilling! The cooking time is nearly half compared to using a barbeque, since it grills evenly on both sides at the same time. The result is evenly cooked food with nice grill lines in it. Cleaning up is also pretty easy, as the non-stick coating is pretty effective, though it would be much easier if the grill plates were removable. The drip tray is easily removable and washable.
I've made Ruebens, and other grilled-cheese-type sandwiches on it with great success. I also cooked hamburgers and grilled chicken--even chicken shawarma! All turned out nicely and evenly cooked. I was able to fit about 3 patties or chicken breasts on it, but could probably fit 4. You might missed the charred flavour from an outdoor grill, but when don't need it, the T-Fal grill is super handy and grill what you need in half the time--for example, I quickly grilled chicken to make a chicken Caesar salad and it turned out perfectly!
I wouldn't say it's completely odourless though, since the grill doesn't seal shut--so not all of the odours funnel through the charcoal vent. This is partly a feature of the auto-adjusting height mechanism, so the top grill sits evenly over the food. It does cut way back on the smells wafting around the house though! Eventually, those charcoal filters will need to be replaced too, as they will become ineffective otherwise.
This is very much like the classic George Foreman grill, though the T-Fal looks much nicer with the stainless steel top. This is one you can safely leave on the countertop if you're concerned about aesthetics.
If you're looking for something with more heat controls and removable plates, the T-Fal OptiGrill may be a better choice. I also like to have the option of a flat grill.
Overall, I think this is a great product that's a pleasure to use and a great addition to your kitchen!
