I got this based on the fact that you can put the grill plates in the dishwasher, HOWEVER, beware, they oxidize in the dishwasher. Meaning the back of the cooking plates, turn blak and wipe off on your towels, hands, ect. I called the manufactor and said this is normal, and i shouldnt wash them in the dishwaher very often. So much for convience!

Other than that problem, it cooks awesome! I loved the temp control and timer. Great Features!! Plus it held 6 burgers!

I would buy this again, but would never put it my dishwasher.
I will always wash by hand.

We had an older George Foreman grill, which served well for over 3 years.

We decided to buy a new model for easier cleaning.
Dissapointed from day one, slow heating, uneven grilling,
poor tasting meat and fish, burned in (I assume plastic) cover.

Was lazy to pack and ship back to Amazon, 4-5 months ago when
purchased. Will ship into trash bin now.

We recieved this as a wedding present a back in August. This unit was actually diffrent than the one we had on our registry but WOW we love this one. The washable grill plates are really cool and easy to clean. I will say we dont wash them in the dishwasher much. But to remove the plates and take them to sink to clean is super convienent vs. hauling the whole unit to the sink and trying not to get it too wet or cleaning it on the counter with a washcloth or papertowels. I HIGHly recommend getting the removeable plates. They sell replacement plates online which is great. My previous Foremans would always wear the nonsticks first but this unit you can replace them.

Keep the reciept on it as well. I have had 0 electrical problems with any of mine but I have read some have. The quality of this foreman is VERY GOOD except the buttons feel a little cheapish (but better than most)some of the lesser models are not so well built.

I purchased this grill the other day, used it twice and unfortunately, I will be returning it today.

Day one - Pork Chops - Setting was 8 minutes at 300 degrees - per the instruction manual. The chops took about twice as long to cook than the instruction booklet indicated and seemed to be steamed rather than grilled. Considering the choice of meat, I decided to try it again the next day using hamburgers.

Day two - Hamburgers - The burgers cooked in about 8 minutes at 400 degrees, a rather high temp. than noted in the booklet. Once again, the food was steamed rather than grilled.

Day three - Returning the grill after a thorough cleaning...oh well, back to charcoal.

I purchased this unit in 2003 and I would say except for a year when I wasn't eating very healthy, I have used it almost every day. I have just purchased another one and will use the new one's replacement plates as the non-stick is coming off the old plates. It is wonderful! I even cook my turkey bacon on it. Salmon is perfect in 3 minutes at 325 degrees, chicken tenders grill perfectly, vegetables are wonderful and lean ground beef is great. Would highly recommend it for anyone wanting the ease of cooking healthy!

We received this as a gift less than a year ago. After using it several times a week for the first couple of months that we had it, it began taking longer and longer for food to cook on it. By the end of the year, meat didn't brown; instead, it more or less "simmered" until the juices were gone and the meat was dry and tough. Boneless chicken breasts bubbled in their own juices, but they clearly didn't cook. The first part of this year, the temperature and timer adjustments quit--they were working fine one night and then didn't work the next night. So, we went from loving our grill to being very disappointed with it in a matter of months. Luckily, I had enough information on it to prove that the 1-year warranty was still in effect, and once the manufacturer reviewed our problem, we immediately received a UPS pickup tag so we could return the grill. A new one is on the way as I write this. As I said, we absolutely loved the grill--it's so easy to cook a variety of things on, and the removable grill plates made clean-up a breeze. I did put them into the dishwasher, as the manufacturer suggests, which made clean-up even easier. Can't wait to get the replacement! I'll give it a review after I've used it for a while.
