 Great product! Jun 14, 2008
By Lisa
I am very pleased with this grill. When I'm done cooking I always dread the clean up; BUT as I sullenly stood at the sink and began the dreaded task, I was pleasantly surprised that clean up was a snap! It only took me a minute or two to have the thing looking like new! I walked away from the sink with a big smile!!! It is a good size...For my first meal I cooked steak and potatoes for 3, and there was plenty of room for more! I have only used this thing outside; but from what I have observed, let me suggest that if you use it inside, place it on your stove top and turn on the exhaust fan because it does give off a bit of smoke and there is some spattering which I am sure could leave some not so desirable after effects indoors. My only other minor complaint would be that there is no steam vent on the lid, so when you lift it be careful because it did have quite a bit of run off. Let me also say that my friend has the bigger model and it does have the lid vent which is great...BUT on the same token it doesn't have the nice clip underneath which keeps the grill attached to the stand. If you want to move hers, you can't just pick it up by the handles. (Although, let me make it clear, I would not recommend moving either of them while hot or with the weight of food on them; I am talking about moving them for storage or to transport). Overall, it's a great product. Keep in mind, of course, this is not a charcoal grill...so you might want to get a little creative with things like liquid smoke or hickory salt, etc. I am pleased with my purchase, but remember that we all do not have the same uses and expectations planned for the product...so it is natural to find other reviews which may not be so favorable; therefore, I suggest you choose the review that most closely relates to what you would plan to use this grill for. So far I have had success with steak, hamburgers, hot dogs and potatoes. I cannot vouch yet for things like chicken, pork chops, or kabobs...I haven't gone there...yet.

 Smaller than the original GGR50B Apr 28, 2008
By DJ
"hate2clean"
I bought this to replace my 5 year old George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill that just simply was used to death, and I loved it. This one is fine, but it is smaller than the original one (my first clue should have been the reduced price) and it is a bit harder to remove the grill plate to clean it. It has a clip underneath, for safety I suppose, but I find it awkward to remove. I really like the new one, too, but I am not happy it is so much smaller. It does fit into my sink for cleaning better than my old one since it is smaller. Just a warning if you are looking to replace the original model and want the same size, order GGR50B, not this one.

Great indoor/outdoor grill!! Dec 12, 2007
By Sisi
I have had this grill for years and I love it!!
It comes apart easily for cleaning and heats evenly..
I like it so much that I bought it as gifts for family and they love it too...
Its great for winter grilling when its too cold to grill outdoors or for a person that lives in an apartment or condo..

 It's okay Feb 26, 2008
By JP
I really wish this was easier to clean. I thought that all possible new Foreman grills would have the feature where you can remove the silver plating and just wash those versus washing the whole thing.
I had the newer Foreman grill where you could take the plates out and just wash those. You have less worry of getting something else wet besides the plate you need to actually wash.
I've only used it once because it was so awkward to wash. The marinated pork chops were good and tender. It did suggest a heating time but I don't think it was cooked well enough. I had to insert one of those temperature forks in to make sure it was cooked.
The assembly was easy. I did feel the cord was too short. Otherwise, it's okay.

Electric Grill is even better than I had hoped. Jul 13, 2009
By L. R. Gallt
I read a lot of reviews about the George Foreman Electric Grill. Many said they bought it because they live in apartment and can't have open fire. Some said they bought it to go outside, but it never left the kitchen and they use it all the time! I thought that was rather ridiculous and was sure that would not be me. Much to my surprise, the grill has not left our kitchen either!! It's great; fast to preheat and the food cooks very quickly and is extremely tasty. It's fun to cook table side! I did not think I would grill good quality steak on it, because I thought it would taste as good as a charcoal grill. Again, I was wrong. The steak was delicious. In fact, it took less time than the directions led me to believe. A thick steak, cooked to perfection in 12 minutes! We have made chicken, pork and fish and all were very tasty. There is no vent in the hood top, so food cooks quickly and evenly and there is not a lot of smoky smell lingering long into the night. It's "non-stick" surface takes awhile to clean thoroughly. That's the only Slight disadvantage. We are very pleased with the product; much more so than we ever expected to be! I never had an interest in the George Foreman table top grill, so this was a complete surprise that we like it so well.
