I had a contact grill (like the Foreman) and was never satisfied with the end result as the foods steamed rather than properly seared. Much better to flip the food and get good results than get mediocre results faster.

This stores upright -- a boon in my small kitchen so that it is readily accessible.

I bought it based on the recommendation of Cooking Light and I am very pleased.

I live in a small apartment and the fact that this stores vertically is a real plus. I've been grilling every day since I purchased this and the food is wonderful. What's more it means I can grill and stay inside the air conditioning :)

The nonstick surface and the fact that it is suberssible makes clean up simle...just don't use any metal implements on it!

After going through a low-end (1200W) and mid-range (1500W unit from Williams-Sonoma), I'm happy to report this grill/griddle is absolutely top notch.

It was an "impulse buy," or more like a "frustration buy" after my 1200W grill couldn't properly cook filet mignon in a reasonable amount of time.

I couldn't be happier with its performance, design (cleans easily and stores upright) and price/delivery from Amazon.

I read the reviews and was prepared to experience griddle-Nirvana. I've used the griddle 10 times in the last month on a variety of foods (bacon, french toast, pancakes, quesadillas, etc) and am pleased with the performance. My biggest gripe is with the pancake cooking. If you place the batter immediately after the red warming light goes off you get great golden brown pancakes. However, if your cakes are on the griddle when the warming light comes on, watch out. The cakes are going to cook twice as fast and if they are across the heating elements, they will likely get an unsightly brown line across them - the pancake tan line. If they made the machine with several small heating elements instead of two large ones, this would help the problem. Last, I will say the ability to store the griddle upright is an awesome feature. My wife thanks you.

This grill is the best by far of all the electric grills I have used. It is large, with a shape that is easily used. The temperature control is exact without large swings of the thermostat. The grill is easily cleaned, both the cook surface and the drip pan. Now the minuses; It is not easy to save the drippings if so desired. The end frame bearing surfaces are thin, so the whole unit will surf around on a countertop unless folded paper towels are placed under the frames. I would recommend this grill to anyone.

Purchased this a gift and it's GREAT! Even heat distribution on both sides and it stores on end saving space.

This grill is the best. Cooks superbly. Easy to clean. I am very pleased with everything about this product. I can assure you that you will be very happy with your BonJour Grill.

I love this and use it all the time. It works great and the clean-up is quick and easy. I highly recommend this.

We purchased this grill based on the reviews here at Amazon and other publications. When I recieved the grill my first impression was the size. This grill is small. The cooking area is 14-1/2"x 9".
The grill does heat up quickly, but, the temperature swings greatly as the thermostat cycles. From observing a small surface thermometer, I estimate a 40 deg F swing.
Lastly, the temperature settings seem odd. For example, I cook bacon on a "High" setting. The surface thermometer indicated 200 to 240 deg F. Cleaning the connections between the grill and thermostat had no affect.
As far as cleaning the grill afterward, I can say this grill is more difficult to clean than my previous one. This one is heavy and awkward in the sink.
This grill replaced a Presto from Target. It cost less than half of the Bonjour, yes it had hot spots but temp was consistent.
Now, this grill, the Bonjour, is being replaced with another Presto.
To be fair to those who love this grill, I have not tried warranty solutions.

This is a great little grill and griddle. I wanted something that would grill me a steak with as close to the Weber grill taste as I could get and I was pleasantly surprised at how good this is. You don't get that "charcoal" taste but you do get a good grill type flavor.

I also made pancakes and bacon and they turned out to be pretty good too but I'll probably use the grill side mostly.

It's very easy to switch from grill to griddle and it's easy to clean as well. Can't say anything bad about this product except that a big family might want a larger size. This is perfect for two people and you could probably get 4 steaks on there but not much more.
