I bought this grill to replace a different brand that still worked but had worn-out grill plates. This model allows me to remove the grill plates for cleaning and I hope that means the surfaces will last longer. The plates are also replaceable so I don't have to dispose of the grill when the plates wear out (like the other brand). It is reasonably compact to use on my counter and the top grill portion is short enough that it doesn't hit the bottom of my cupboards when opening it (had that problem with the other brand).

Am pleased with the unit so far, although I will need to practice a bit with it to learn how best to set temperatures for things like pancakes or other items more sensitive to temperature choice than steaks and burgers. The manual gives a number of sample recipes and suggested settings, most of which have worked as expected. (Pancakes: still tweaking.)

The fold-open feature is especially nice when I need to cook steaks for four, or otherwise need a larger cooking area. I like having that option, even if it does take up a bit more space on the counter in this mode.

The only real negative I've found is that after grilling something like burgers in the closed position, the top grill plate will drip grease on the counter when the unit is opened. It isn't a big deal, but it can be more of a mess than one wants. I've dealt with it by placing a rectangular glass plate from an old microwave under the grill. Makes cleanup quicker.

I would not hesitate to recommend this grill. Has been a pleasure to use and seems well-made.

Much better than the cheap foreman version. if you grill indoors this is the ONE!

This purchase was my husbands idea and it was a great one! Nice to have a burger or a steak grilled even with snow outside.
