JackJack: Prior to purchasing this electric grill I was using a cast iron grill which cooks nicely but involves scraping & scrubbing after each use and treating it with oil.
Pros:
Makes clean up very easy with barely a trace of any grease splatter around the unit while cooking.
Cooks very fast and consistent.
Built in timer system prevents going past “well done” by shutting down the electric heating elements.
Cons:
The color coded illuminated disc may not be for everyone. At first I thought the text labeled ring around this disc was back lit but it’s just a sticker so where you are during cooking is the shade of color of the illuminated disc. As one who has some color deficiency in the red/green spectrum, more common in males, some of the subtle shades look quite similar but I’ve learned to work around that with practice.
The beep sounds it makes during the process are very faint, especially with a fan running, making them almost useless.
The unit is rated at 1800 watts which is quite high for the U.S. market. Typically high current electrical devices are limited to 1500 or maybe 1600 watts (think space heaters) because 15 amp circuit...

Mauricio Miranda: Una maravilla, para cocinar de manera fácil y practica sin aceite. Cocine pescado, carne y pollo. Sin problema. Las pechugas las deja jugosas y bien cocinadas. La carne depende de como te guste, pero es buena elección para cocinar sin humo. Muy recomendable

jdnjudester: Cooks fast. Pork chops do the best. Chicken (boneless, skinless) flattens out as do steaks. (you are limited in thickness because of the upper "hinge". Can't have any bone in meat you are cooking because it will cause the top element not to touch all the meat surface. Fast clean-up. Able to throw everything in the dishwasher. I am sure this will work for most people I am just really picky about the texture of my food - I don't use a slow cooker for that were reason.

Brian: This is a very nice kitchen appliance. Cooks raw foods perfectly every time. Frozen foods not so much. That said, it warms up fairly quickly, beeps when it’s ready, measures the thickness of your food automatically and starts to cook all in one swift motion. Listen for the next series of beeps and watch for your desired tenderness colour on the led indicator and your food will be juicy inside and nicely grilled outside. I love sausages and this cooks them perfectly with no grease remaining and with no flame there are no nasty flare ups. The grills themselves detach with a push of a button and clean up super quick with a rinse of hot water and the toss them in the dishwasher, come perfectly clean every time. Quality seems top notch, almost restaurant quality. Very happy with this purchase as my apartment does not allow BBQ’s and this fills that need.

E: This grill is incredible. Steaks, chicken, ham and most veggies come out near perfect... as good as they can without an actual flame in my opinion. We have had it for a few weeks and we use it for more than half our meals now. One thing you might not expect, it's fast! Chicken breasts cook in less than half an hour, faster than our oven. Steaks are like 15 minutes. So you put meat on the grill and then race to make your sides before the grill is done. We haven't ordered takeout since we got the grill, we can whip up meals faster than I can drive to the restaurant and back. Also, if your meat is frozen, just click the snowflake option in addition to the meat type, and it still comes out perfect. No guesswork, when it sings its song, you take out the food.

RetiredEE: After looking over all of the George Foreman grills, I was struck at how primitive they are. The cheapest ones are not the easiest to clean, the more expensive have removable heat plates that are still difficult to clean, and all are pretty "dumb." I then wondered "what happens if I bump up my price expectations?" which was when I came across the T-Fal GC702. It is the first grill I ever bought. I now have about 4 months of experience using it and can offer my thoughts on it.
For starters, its heat plates are "non-stick" and easily removable by single buttons on the side. This makes cleaning quite easy. I first followed others' recommendations by spraying PAM on the plates before cooking, but the smoke was more than I could bear. Plus, it tends to burn itself into the plates, making cleaning difficult and leaving a residue on the plates, even after a thorough cleaning. I then bought a good plastic scrub brush ("OXO Good Grips Electric Grill and Panini Press Brush"), and it's been a breeze to clean since. I simply run the plates under a bit of water, let them sit for about a minute, and the scrub brush easily cleans everything off. Piece of cake!

Beth Jordan: We use the TFAL grill nightly. We cook everything from burgers to steak and everything turns out so perfectly. No guessing as to whether it is done or needs further cooking it clearly is very easy to use. It has been a life saver for us because we have went from microwave users to grill users. No longer do we just reheat food but we actually cook our own meals nightly.
