I bought this after we had vinyl siding installed at our house in the back, and the installer told us to keep the gas grill remotely away from the siding as the heat will melt the siding. I needed something else to replace the gas grill, and found this one at Costco. I was skeptical at first because I was so used to a gas grill, but I was amazed at the ease to set up and to clean the unit, plus to cook a meal for a family of five in one cooking due to its big cooking surface. The food turns out very juicy and not burnt. (I have kids and this is very important) I heard a lot of people like the George Foreman grills, but I think this is the best one by far.

apart from the similar taste of the foods cooked by conventional ovens; no cons are present for this grill. Of course I should say that I have bought this grill for $45. Thus unless you do not have a conventional oven that you can cook at broil setting, I would not pay more than $50 simply because being an electrical grill, you do not get the flavor that you get in a charcoal grill. Other than that the flexibility to use this grill indoor in addition to outdoors is a plus in particular for use in apartments, where charcoal grills cannot be used.

I have since used it indoors without the stand, making it convient on rainy days. It is the easiest grill to use and clean that we have ever owned. You can cook everything evenly, because there are no coals to level out. It can easily hold 4 to 5 steaks, 10 big hamburgers, and the list goes one. I am sure there are some drawbacks to those that swear by gas/charcoal grills, but my gas grill has found a permanent residence in our shed, while George sits ready to use at any time indoors or out on our back porch.

Before I get into this review, we have to understand the product we are looking at: a George Foreman ELECTRIC grill. George Foreman products are essentially useful variations of hotplates. In this case, the hot plate takes the form of a grill (with a stand, a dome cover, a large cooking surface with raised grooves etc...). That being said, this product caters to people (me) willing to try a product that is not a traditional charcoal grill, could be useful in smaller spaces/porches, looks like it is easy to use and clean up, could potentially cut some fat (never hurts, right?), and seems like it will work well as a good back-up grill or a quick solution to throwing mini-bbqs requiring even heat distribution without the hassle of buying/lighting/dumping coal. If that's you, then read on...

When this shipped the part of the lid that attached to the grill itself arrived broken. I called customer service and they were very friendly and helpful, send the broken part(s) right out. That said I love cooking on this grill, there is nothing to dislike, except as other reviewers have stated the stand itself is unstable and needs to be modified. We'll see how durable it is and how it holds up.

I got the grill on sale at a very cheap price. The meat is grilled without the mess of charcoal and tasted great too. I highly recommend this for those who need a quick fix. An excellent product for students and those living in an apartment because it is not too big and stored easily.

very easy to clean. Cooks burgers perfectly. Very nice looking. Can be used indoors too. Is electric so no fuss with charcoal and dangerous flames. I would definitely recommend the purchase of this product by others.

Great price, easy to use and clean up afterwards. Electrical heating is a plus-plus. Thanks George for another Knock-out round, won! Oh, be sure to get the George Foreman Grill Sponges for easy clean up of the grill.

This is a great grill for the money. I live in a high rise condo, so gas and charcoal grills are prohibited. This is the first time I've used an electric grill, and I'm very pleased with it. It heats up quickly and cooks evenly. Cleaning is a breeze. It would be nice if there was a temperature gauge on the hood of the grill, but, for the price, I'm not complaining.Your grill scored a KO with me, George. Good job.

I bought this unit 2 years ago with some trepidation. However, this is the ONLY WAY TO GO! Cooks beef, hamburger, steaks, bacon QUICK AND EASY! Clean-up is a breeze and this unit is ready when you are! NO regrets and my chef hat is off to GEORGE!!! GOOD ONE GEORGE!

Well, pulled the trigger on this unit and overall, I am pleased. Taken, it is NO gas or charcoal grill and if you are looking for THOSE results, this isn't for you. But, if you are looking for a quick, easy and healthy way to cook your outdoor (or indoor for that matter) meal, then this is the grill for you. I have had other Foreman products, and this one is just as good, if not better. Have used it several times and the various things I have grilled always come out great. Cleanup is a tad more work than normal but otherwise, I think this is a great alternative when you just don't have the space or time to pull out the big grill. I just throw a wet paper towel on the grill after cooking and unplugging and let the steam evaporate to make cleanup easier. Great to take camping also.
