Tenergy Redigrill Smokeless Infrared Grill

I LOVE to grill, but living in an apartment means being subjected to fire codes. I refuse to oven-bake meats. A friend suggested I get this grill instead so I gave it a shot. Probably only pros are: -Easy to clean. The grill and bottom tray are dishwasher safe and can also just be handwashed. -The grill is non-stick so as long as you clean it, no worries about food sticking. -Virtually no smoke. There WILL be smoke, just nowhere near as pungent and strong as from a regular grill. There are quite a few technical issues with it: 1. The IR light is so strong, you'll have to wear sunglasses or look at it from another angle. 2. It's kinda small so you'll have to cook in batches. 3. It's very energy inefficient. Because it's not covered from the top, the heat escapes so you're only cooking one side at a time while the top is not cooked by residual heat circling as it would in any other kind of grill. This also means you need to leave a LONG time reaching searing temperatures before you can use it and it's doubtful it'll get to the temperature it needs, especially if you have AC running. I've used it only a couple of times and getting ready to sell it or give it away. I'd rather go through the lengthy process of sous-vide then sear on a cast-iron pan, which gives me a proper cut of meat. Perhaps I'm spoiled with grills, but this is definitely not a suitable replacement by any means; only if it's an apartment where there are no community grills and you don't really care about texture.
