Using the microwave grill for meat can spatter fat all over the inside

That's why you should find one with a stainless steel inner shell with
the least number of (ventilation) holes. I found some of the no-name
cheaper brands had better designed interiors than some found on the more
expensive well known brands. It's also important to find one with a
pressed single piece type interior as liquids can run down into the
seams (cleaning chemicals/condensed steam etc.)

Grease/fat getting on to the element isn't too important as it burns
off. Cleaning the grease from an interior with LOTS of ventilation holes
is a PITA.

I have a microwave/grill/conventional oven combination and it works
well, much better than a microwave alone for a lot of food.

One thing to watch is that they tend not to be well insulated and the
out casing can become hot.
