I have always had outdoor gas grills. Recently I moved to a condo where outdoor grills are not allowed and it became a quest to find the ideal indoor grill. I had seen a DeLonghi grill at a gourmet kitchen supplies store for a cost of $99. I proceeded to research the grills on the internet and found that the DeLonghi BG16 had great reviews. I ordered it at a cheaper price from Amazon and I am very happy with it. It cooks the food evenly and quicky and it also leaves the grill marks on the food. My husband has also used it and he loves it. It is also super easy to clean. I recommend this grill without hesitation.
