Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Appreciate and enjoy freshly grilled foods all year round with this 1500-watt die-cast indoor barbeque and grill. Its top and bottom scratch-resistant aluminum plates each provide 184 square inches of nonstick cooking surface. A convenient solid die-cast lock mechanism holds the top plate in a secure, upright position when loading and unloading the grill. Return the grill to the closed position, switch the lock to "open grill" and the grill expands into a 368-square-inch indoor barbeque, featuring both ribbed and flat plates for cooking everything from eggs to steak, with authentic barbeque results. Close the unit and it automatically resets into safe-contact grill mode.
The top plate can also be adjusted to six pre-set heights. Lower settings reduce the weight pressing upon more delicate foods like fish or vegetables; higher settings work well for making open-melt sandwiches or heating pizzas or breads. The appliance also offers a "tilt" feature that adjusts the angle of the grill's lower plate, as well as an "angle" position for low-fat cooking, draining fat into the unit's dishwasher-safe drip tray. Its easily accessible control panel includes a convenient "on/off" rocker switch, a dial that controls the grill angle, another that controls the 15-minute timer, and a third dial that controls the temperature from 350 to 450 degrees F. A light indicates when the grill has reached the set temperature, while built-in thermal sensors ensure that both plates maintain precise temperatures at all times. With polished die-cast aluminum arms and a brushed stainless-steel body, the grill measures 19-1/4 by 15 by 6-1/4 inches.
Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful and versatile appliance,
This review is from: Breville XX800GRXL Factory-Reconditioned Die-Cast Indoor Barbeque and Grill, Stainless (Kitchen)
This is the 2nd generation model, I have the 1st at home and use it CONSTANTLY! I use it to grill meat (any kind), as a panini press (from fancy Cubanos to 5-minute grilled cheese for my four-year-old), as a quesadilla maker, and recently discovered its true hidden talent...bacon. Cooks it faster, crisper and leaner than any fry pan. The only negative is cleanup; the cooking surfaces aren't removable so you have to wash and rinse them without getting too much water near the electrical components on the bottom of the grill.
NOT just a fancy Foreman. I had one of those and it doesn't compare. First and foremost the biggest difference is the floating hinge. Try grilling something thick on a Foreman and it'll cook the sides unevenly since it can't close around the whole steak. Also this gets much hotter (1500 watts). And finally the nonstick surface on this is very good in its durability (no nicks or marks after 3 years of heavy use) and its nonstick-edness. If you grill a sandwich with cheese and the cheese melts out the side, it will actually stay with the sandwich rather than stick to the grill! Looks like this one is reconditioned and I bought mine new so I can't speak to the condition. But if mine broke today I'd drop the $180 for a new one in a heartbeat.

Better Than George Foreman's Grill,

This review is from: Breville XX800GRXL Factory-Reconditioned Die-Cast Indoor Barbeque and Grill, Stainless (Kitchen)
I've tried several similar grills and in my opinion, this grill is very good but not perfect.
Pros: 1. Large surface area. You can cook a lot of food on this grill. This is also a con as I explain below. 2. This grill gets hot enough to sear meats. Some other grills (including George's) do not get hot enough to do this. 3. Non removable grill plates. This is both a pro and a con. Because they can't be removed, the plates also can't accidentally fall off. Other Breville grills have this problem. 4. Sturdy, quality build. Cons: 1. It's a big grill. When I raise the top, it hits the bottom of my cabinets. Also, it takes up a lot of surface on the counter making it cumbersome to store and to cook with. This grill takes up a lot of space. 2. Non removable grill plates. This makes the plates more difficult to clean than removable ones. This also makes them impossible to replace. 3. Timer does not turn the grill off. Bottom Line: I believe that the major deciding factor on whether to buy this or not is the size of the grill. If you have the space, this grill will suit you fine. It cooks everything from from sandwiches to steaks beautifully. But if you have a small kitchen with limited counter space and storage area, you might want to consider something else.

First, the advertisement says it has a 'nonstick aluminum cooking surface'. The instruction manual says it's a coating called quantanium. I purchased it for the (assumed less toxic) aluminum but it appears to be some kind of coating. It does clean unusually easily however.
The timer sounds a bell but doesn't shut off power. All that metal gets fairly hot. Can't move it as easily after use as my Hamilton Beach grill. The drip tray is of excellent quality but is 14 " long and so could be easier to handle and clean. It does work properly. It does have extra features like the variable temp and the center pivoted top plate.
