We love our smokeless grill. We live in an apartment with no places to grill and we love to cook/grill. It definitely helps with smoke but you do need to fill the water basin at the bottom. It’s not perfect though and shouldn’t be called a “smokeless” grill. Also you’re supposed to let the fan run for a little after you turn it off until it cools down so you don’t just get plumes of smoke coming out of it.

@@MayorMcheese12 That's because it's not just a fan, it's a pump, like what you'd use in an aquarium. So there's reciprocating mass in the piston assembly, which is what makes for all the vibration. It would be somewhat quieter if he'd filled the water reservoir.
