I have owned 2 or 3 other GF grills over the years. As my children or neices went to college I would give them the one from my kitchen -- then I would buy the newest model. I love the color and the features: cord wrap, stand up storage, lid that can be adjusted for thicker food, etc.

My 17 year old neice is already asking if she can have it when she goes to college. I don't know, I may have to get her a new one this time because I really like this model, its just the right size for us empty nesters.

It is a breeze to clean - just wipe with a damp cloth or towel after unplugging. If you have owned a GF in the past and don't mind cleaning up after cooking you will be fine with this grill. Amazon's great customer service and prices makes this a best buy.

First, the positive. It's a cute grill and I really like the red colour. It's well designed and seems to be made well. The grill heats as it should and grills adequately. However, the cleanup is a NIGHTMARE. The non-stick surface does, in fact, stick, and does so quite often. I've grilled shrimp and scallops on it and BOTH have stuck. A residue is left behind that simply won't scrape away easily, even with the included tool. You can't remove the top grill plate so cleaning that one is tricky at best. Even with a fair amount of time and elbow grease, the grill still has food residue and burned food left on it - not pretty to be sure, but potentially a health hazard as well. I'm really disappointed. It had such potential, but clean up is just way too difficult.

I love this grill! We have a small cottage with limited storage space and this works perfectly for two people. It's adequate in size to grill a pork tenderloin that's been butterflied or two chops, burgers or fish. Cleanup is easy if you place a wet paper towel on the grill plates and close it while it's still warm. The side clamps hold it closed for upright storage.

Really like the locking feature, and the cord locks in as well. The handle is very convenient & the locking feature means George will stand on end. Space is very scarce when you live in an RV. Even without removable grills, it is easy to wash.

It's a great grill & perfect for bacon on Sun. AM. We use our larger stand up George Foreman grill for steaks, hamburgers,hot dogs & fish but this grill could do all of those. Happy we have 2 George Foreman grills. Stand uo grill has a larger cooking surface. This grill fine for the two of us. With company we use the stand uo grill.

Cooks food up pretty good but it's a pain to clean.
I would really recommend getting one of the grills with the removable
grill plates instead of this model.

I bought this larger model because I've so enjoyed my two smaller George Foreman Grills. It worked twice and then died. Calls to customer service were frustrating; I was essentially told to go pound sand. While I like the Foreman Grills and would normally recommend them - they're convenient and easy to both use and clean - this model was a dud and has shown that they don't stand by their products even when under warranty.

The last GF grill I had was very easy to clean, because the grill plates snapped out and you could take them to the sink. Despite the "non stick" surface, you will have burned on food that doesn't just sponge off easily. If you keep the grill far the sink like I do, it's a pain to unplug it, drag it over to the sink, wash it, dry it, and replace it again. For $10 more, you can get the "EZ Clean" version with removable plates.

Other than that, it's a basic grill that cooks well. I'm a believer in these George Foreman grills because of the way they cook from top and bottom at the same time, and heat up quickly.

My George is a true must have. I love it's red top since it matches my counter tops other must have's. So easy to clean it's almost ridiculous, lol. What i like most about it is I can prepare an entire meal in-one for myself. No dirty stove tops or heating up the kitchen. Not to mention the ez clean-up. I love my "Got-A-George" grill.

Don't buy this one - Buy one with removable plates! My mother bought me a GF grill for Christmas and it had 2 removable plates - I LOVED IT and used it everyday - most days I used it 2 times! My house burned recently and the GF grill burned up too - nothing left but the 2 removable plates which were in the dishwasher. So my mom bought me a new one but it was this one. I used it 2 times - cleaning is a pain as you have to make sure you do not get it wet. With the other model, I quickly removed the plates and let them soak or put them in the dishwasher. I am packing this one up and returning it for one with removable plates.

Otherwise I LOVE GF grills!
