Michele Allard: Had previous model for 12 years (with waffle plates too). Old plates even fit this model!

Very easy to clean.
Ceramic plates are great. No greasing them up beforehand and easier to clean han the regular non-stick plates

Worthwhile to read booklet.

Love the temperature and time settings rather than the previous low-med-hi knob. More accurate for cooking.

Drip tray is deeper and easier to take care of.

Bulky though since it doesn't stand up for easyier storage.

Kevin Monsell-Tucker: We invested in the new GF grill and have waited a long time for the plates to be removable because we hated cleaning it after using it. Having choices of different plates is awesome, and the fact that they can be put in the dishwasher is a real bonus. The only criticism we have is the size of the cooking area, otherwise it would have had a full five stars.

Donn: We got this so we could use it in the winter, as it's much to cold to use our outdoor one. We like it so much, we aren't going to keep the outdoor grill. Cooks much faster, and much easier to clean up. I only wish the booklet that came with it had a bit more detail as to temperature settings not only cooking times. We use the waffle grills a lot as well, they are great.

BF Hammer: I like this grill a lot and recommend it highly.

This is an upgrade from a years-old Hamilton Beach contact grill. The teflon has started to bubble on that unit so I decided the time was now to start a purge of teflon in the kitchen. I specifically searched for options that included ceramic grill plates that can be removed to clean. I can't say that I really wanted to consider a Foreman grill (still regarded it as an "infomercial gadget") but the competition did not have overwhelming positive reviews.

The user manual is not terribly well-written, but it gives basic good information for successfully cooking with this. I tried out the sear feature with a tenderloin steak and with hamburger. Good result with the steak, came out juicy like from a steakhouse. The hamburgers dried out too much this method. I really recommend cooking burgers at the minimum temp listed for beef on the lid (400 degrees) and it will still sear a bit of crust on the beef without drying out the meat. I've also tried chicken breasts and pork chops, no complaints following the guidlines in the manual. To date I have not used any type of cooking spray or oil on the grill, just bare ceramic as the...

Proost: We've had GF grills for the last 8yrs. They are so convenient and easy and grill flawlessly. Our poor oven! Just got this yesterday and fired it up to cook our favorite - grilled salmon with John Henry's All Purpose Shag rub. Perfection!
The likes:
- Ceramic coating. Seriously, I think I could blow the thing clean. Seriously, I used to leave the grill on and used folded paper towel to clean the grill while it was still hot. Sometimes, I'd use the included spatula. Compared to the teflon/non-stick surface on the accessories and my other grills, these are wonderful.
- Size. This grill has a larger cooking surface than previous grills. My bride pre-cooks grilled chicken for work lunches and now she will be able to cook those breasts faster and more efficiently.
- Ease of cleaning. See ceramic coating above. Also, the ability to remove the plates is great. I'm not a particular fan because with removal, you increase the chance for scratching and my gut says wear and tear on the plates. No expert though! 😛
- Speed of cooking. A good fllet mignon - 5mins tops. Chicken breast? 8mins.
Dislikes:
- the pull lever to lower the grilling angle is a bit tough and...
