It's great and costs well under $200. My very strong suspicion is that it would be not good to use it indoors because of the smoke and carbon monoxide threat. That would be true for virtually any indoor grill, though. One exception to this is the Jenn-Air grill. We had one of those and it works great. It's part of their system where you can plug in different assemblies to a cooktop. For instance, you can remove the coil or flush units from one side and drop in their electric grill assembly or a deep fat fryer. It's great for a couple steaks at a time. Their system includes a center mounted vent in the center of the grill, that draws cool air over the top of the grill and down and outside. Turbo IR grill http://tinyurl.com/mhfzb One final thought about the Jenn-air. We once put a second Jenn-air into a basement kitchen to do more cooking for parties. I didn't have decent outside wall access for a direct vent, so we bought their self venting stove. Below the oven, where you would normally find a drawer for pots and pans, they had an electrostatic precipitator. When the vent fan ran, so did the electrically charged plates. There would be virtually no smoke from grilling in the kitchen and the plates lifted out easily for an occasional soap and water bath.
