No words can describe how happy I am with this purchase! I was looking to replace my old Foreman grill that I had for many years. I chose this one because it offered convenience! It is a breeze to clean it with its dishwasher safe non-stick removable plates! The adjustable tilted leg lets me control how lean my food will get. It comes with an extra griddle plate which allows me to make food that you wouldn't normally be able to make on a grill (e.g. I make delicious omelets on my Foreman grill). Because that extra griddle is deeper it doesn't squash my leftover pizza! Its sleek design will fit in every kitchen. The grilling surface is larger therefore it takes a while to heat it up to the grilling temperature, but that gives you the time to prep your food/table. I love, love, love this product!

I'm pleased with how it cooks, but is smaller than expected. The overall dimensions are deceiving, as I thought the cooking area would be the same as the outer -- it isn't. I already have a Foreman grill with the same dimensions as this one, but with much more cooking room. A little disappointing. The cooking area is good for 1, possibly 2 people. The only reason I ordered this was for the removable grills. I'm hesitantly keeping it. I'll know the next time to be more cautious with sizing.

I had looked for quite some time to replace the George Foreman Grill that we were currently using. I wanted something that was easier to clean that could be put into the dishwasher or submerged into dish water. After researching other models, I decided to purchase another Foreman grill and this one came with a griddle plate too, so that was an added benefit. Thus far we have been very pleased with the purchase. The removable grill plates are fantastic for cleaning. I like the ease of using the tilting function of the grill to drain fats from the meat. The griddle is too small for making my large pancakes, but for a few slices of bacon & a couple of eggs, it is okay. This is an excellent purchase for two or three person family and I would definitely recommend it. There is no problem with storage and if you desire, it is attractive enough to sit on the counter. My only complaint would be the length of the electrical cord is too short. Another foot longer would have been nice.

I am very pleased with the grill. I like being able to take the plates off to wash them. I've used it for hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken strips so far and it worked fine. I did find that the bottom plate gets hotter than the top so you have to turn the food or it gets too dark on the bottom. The flat grill is a little small but for just a couple eggs, etc, it works fine.

This is an item we use almost daily. We've gone through multitudes of indoor grills in the last 10 years. We've tried all kinds of brands and my complaint with them all, is that the 'no stick' wears out faster than the grill itself.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could simply replace the plates? Guess that would probably not be such a money-maker for the manufacturers.

All that said, I just ordered another grill exactly like it. I love being able to remove the plates. I simply put them in water to soak for a bit and they wipe clean - well at least until they began to stick. I know you can run them in the dishwasher, but I was trying to save on the wear and tear.

This grill also cooks at a higher temperature than many grills we've had. I like that too. It would be nice if there was a temp control, but I'll live without it.

We bought this as a gift for my husbands father. I chose this one because it was both a grill and griddle and most importantly, had removable dishwasher safe plates. He has used it a few times and says he loves it, it is easy to use and easy to clean.

My wife has been asking for an electric grill since it is so hot to grill outdoors. We have used this grill for over a month and use it at least twice a week now. Anything grilled is very tasty and moist. Because this model comes with two detachable grill plates, it's very easy to clean in the sink or pop it in the dishwasher. The griddle comes in very handy for eggs or pancakes.

I highly recommend this product: George Foreman GRP54G

This griddle/grill is a great appliance. In our small kitchen, it still stays out on the counter because we use it every day. It's easy to clean if you put a wet towel/paper towel in it right after unplugging it and then wipe up once it cools, but the removable plates for cleaning are really nice, too.

The only thing I would say is that I wish it had been a bit bigger. It is EXACTLY the size of four slices of uncooked bacon laid across it with their edges touching, just so you get an idea of the size of the cooking area. Usually, this size is fine for our family of 4 (2 are small children), but for company, I usually have to cook more than one batch of something to get it all in.

Another nice feature would have been an on/off switch (you just plug or un-plug this one). The instructions say not to unplug it when the indicator light is on, but it comes on when you open the lid (because the temperature goes down, so the grill needs to heat up again), which you generally do right before you want to turn the thing off. If you unplug it while the light is on, you get sparks at the outlet, so an off switch would be nice.

However, as I said, it meets our needs and is a convenient way to prepare food (especially high-protein food) quickly.

This counter top grill works pretty well. It would be more versitile if it had a variable temperature control. The stand to raise the rear of the grill is pretty light weight plastic and can easily break or crack. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase.

This grills meats in sufficient quantities for family dinners. Then you can use the griddle for breakfast the next morning. Works great.
