polly smith: Great little item for one person. Negative for it and others for this type of cooking is non removable cord for easier washing.

Diana: Es un buen producto pero parece de juguete porque es mini, el tamaño es aun más pequeño que en la imagen.

Claire P.: I like everything about this grill. Just the right size to make one hamburger, steak, toast slice, sandwich and more. I reheat many foods with it. Heats and cooks rapidly. I owned 2 and shall buy another tomorrow.

Robert H.: We were looking for something smaller and lighter than the famous Foreman grill. Smaller and lighter it was, but too small to be useful for two people with modest appetites. The local Goodwill has it now and may find it a more receptive home.

Amazon Customer: I like my grill, I use it often. It cooks pork chops and hamburgers nicely as well as sandwiches and sausages.

Eva: demasiado pequeño en general. Tiene un espacio en medio de la parrilla baja, que hace que se escurra lo que calientas, a pesar de que hay un recipiente para poner y quietar de ese lugar. En general es incómodo estar poniéndolo, lavándolo, etc., además de que no se sujeta bien. Es práctico pero no me gustó mucho.

danylle: I have been on this kick about trying to have my family eat better and decided that I had to have this product! I figured it was a great alterantive to frying and cooking in butter and fats. The indoor grill was a lot smaller than I thought. It will fit a smaller sized chicken breast at best. The grease catcher slides under the grill for easy storage and you dont have to worry about losing the piece! The grill itself was great quality. I tried this out with fish the first time I used it. The tilapia barely fit the grill. The meat didn't stick the the bottom or top which made me happy. It did get a little hot to the touch making it hard to open and close. The tilapia came out with the beautiful grill marks on it. The grease catcher did it's job and caught all the excess stuff from the fish. Clean up was a breeze! I just wiped down the inside of the grill and threw my grease catcher in the sink to wash. Since the fish didn't stick; it was just a quick wipe down. I love the grill a lot, i'm just a little disappointed in the size of it. It's smaller than the picture leads to believe. I also didnt like how extremely hot it got while trying to take the food out.

Estee11: I like this because it is small, light weight and electrically sound. I used to buy the George Forman Grill which I bought for the HCG diet but I lost just as much weight with this one. There is not as much slant when comparing the two and the lid is heavier on the Foreman leaving a much drier meat. Also the Foreman on some brands has a tendency to overheat so that it is blackened in some cases before being thoroughly cooked. I like that the cooking surface is not so slanted so the meat does not overcook and get dried out.

Comparisons aside, since I had two units so far, I save the tray from the expired one. It takes about a year to wear out the coating on the grill and then its time to toss. No need to worry about being shocked with these and I have had two of them. I find it is very versatile:
I can fry eggs on this by nesting the two grease trays to level the grill, laying the broken egg on the pre-heated grill that has been pre-sprayed with a vegetable and gently lowering the cover. Can be carefully removed with a non-metal spatula.

For the chicken and fish I use, I freeze them on a cookie sheet before storing in my freezer. When I don't remember to pre-thaw,...

Jessica: Sure, this little grill doesn't have temperature control, it's very small and the plates don't come off for washing. But it's TWELVE DOLLARS.

I adore this thing. I toast wraps and sandwiches and cook the occasional burger on it, and it's all I need it for! Best money I ever spent-- so glad I didn't bother buying something bigger with more features that I just really don't need.
