Wonderful grill that I'll use and keep. It's not what I wanted, so now will have to buy another. Hey, can't lose when you win..

I like the item, but I wish it were just a smidge bigger -- I can't fit two patties on it at the same time -- just a little more area and it'd be perfect. It's a quick (since you can cook both sides at once), reasonably mess-free way of grilling patties.

This is he best litle grill I ever seen. It is so easy to use. The grill heats up right away. The food cooks right away and clean up is a snap! I recomend this to all,we have five in our family and I am able to cook food for all in record time. This is well worth the money.

Hey, i have a blue one, and i have an orange microwave for college, ive been looking all over for an orange one. They call this one bright orange, bright orange??? my micros bright orange, that looks like yellow, id be very dissapointing if they got my hopes up for that thing... oh well tho, EVERYTHING cooked on the grill is AWESOME, and its so easy to just cook indoors, its great, its having an indoor grill that cooks in minutes, 3 minutes for a hamburger! tho it can only hold one burger, the ones on the box must be minis... All in all, AWSEOME product, but orange needs to be orange, ill have to look into that one further...

I have recently been watching my husband's and my servings of foods (2 adults only in our house). The biggest change was making sure our meat portions were "healthy servings" and not overdoing it. We have made a habit of eating between 3 1/2 oz to 5 oz of meat in a serving and these grills are perfect for that. You could easily put 2 - 3 servings on the grilling space, depending on the size. I choose a little thicker cuts so they fit very well. We were not sure if we would like the grill when we received it as a gift, but it has turned out to be one of the most used appliances in the kitchen. This grill is so easy to clean and take care of that you won't believe it 'til you try it. I am buying a larger one to use when we have company, it makes the meat taste great and so far has always been tender and juicy. I highly recommend purchasing one of these for a 1 - 3 person family using portions as I described above.

This little grill will fit a NY strip steak and make it medium rear in seven minutes (three minutes preheating and four minutes of actual grilling). Steaks come out perfect with no mess or smoke. If you want another steak, just wipe the surface with the paper towel. In four minutes you will have another juicy steak. You can also fit two small hamburgers, but the bun warmer will take only one bun, so you are better off with one jumbo hamburger. The only thing that is missing is a timer. I use Pyrex digital probe thermometer (also offered on Amazon) to monitor temperature inside the meet and I always get a perfect steak or hamburger. I stick the probe inside the steak and place readout on the table in front of me, hamburger is done when the temperature reaches 160F. For medium steak it is 180F. Of course, this is not the same as grilling on the open fire grill but for quick and tasty meal I can't find anything better. You can also grill fish, chicken, bacon, and vegetables with great results.

There are too many great things to say about this little device: It's affordable to anybody, even if you are a student stuck living at school. It's compact, you can store it anywhere--a closet, your car, your office, the kitchen cabinet. It's powerful--I have plugged it in and in just minutes began working on an entire three course meal for six people with only this unit to work with. It's easy to clean--this is one of the few products out there that is every bit as easy to clean as the commercials show it to be on TV. It's is economical, using very little electricity to do a just that would waste electricity in a conventional oven or even an older model microwave oven. It's versatile--I have cooked everything from thin pieces of tempeh strips to thick steaks and it cooks both to perfection. You never would have been able to convince me to buy anything on TV before (and most certainly not from a former boxing champion...) but since a friend both this grill for me I have thanked them time and again (and in turn bought the same gift for many a friend of my own).

Originally I saw my mother's George Forman grill (smaller indoor one with lid). Then I saw my brother's Party Size grill. Both of them love their grill. I was able to taste the food from both and found it very tasty and easy to use. I decided to do some investigating on my own intending to purchase the party size grill, when I saw the indoor/outdoor grill. I was impressed with the fact that it appeared to be a bigger cooking surface and the price I found was within reason. I purchased it for the purpose of using it as an extra grill for a cookout I was having. No one used the gas grill at all. I have since used it indoors without the stand, making it convient on rainy days. It is the easiest grill to use and clean that we have ever owned. You can cook everything evenly, because there are no coals to level out. It can easily hold 4 to 5 steaks, 10 big hamburgers, and the list goes one. I am sure there are some drawbacks to those that swear by gas/charcoal grills, but my gas grill has found a permanent residence in our shed, while George sits ready to use at any time indoors or out on our back porch. I am so impressed, that I am purchasing one for my parents for Christmas, to replace the charcoal grill that takes for ever to heat up and messy to clean. I'm sure they'll love it too!

This has become one of my favorite all-time purchases ... and the fact that I got it at a ridiculously cheap price thanks to Amazon's Gold Box offer makes it even better. I was impressed at how easily it assembles (and with NO tools, mind you).

It's blissfully simple and elegant, and has a large cooking surface. And it's easier to clean than the portable George Foreman models because the entire grill surface is not only non-stick but also IMMERSIBLE. I've got my grill sitting in my screened porch. I just load up the grill, close the lid and go back into the house to do something else while it works. It's oh-so-convenient and all the heat stays OUT of my kitchen.

Thanks to the large domed lid, I've even used it as an oven (again, without heating up my kitchen) for roast chicken and turkey. I love, love, LOVE this grill, and you will too.

I bought this grill 4 months ago and have used it several times per week ever since. I am a very lazy cook with 3 hungry teens and a hubby who eats like he's a heavyweight boxer. So, I needed something that would cook and clean-up as easily as possible. I can turn on the grill (it has an adjustable thermostat), take out a package of frozen chicken, hamburger patties, whatever, prepare it as usual, and the grill is ready to go to work. Dinner is on the table in no time. Its non-stick surface is just that, making clean-up simple and quick.
I am quite happy with the surface area, as I can easily fit 8 large burgers on at once. I live in the frozen north, so the fact that this grill will also work indoors is plus.
It's portable, reliable, easy to use and clean, and a bargain compared to other outdoor grills.
George put his name on a very good product.

This is easily the best "As Seen On TV" product ever made (I'd like to see Ronco top this marvelous machine). As I am writing this review, I am eating boneless skinless chicken breasts that were made on the George Foreman "Champ" Grill". They are so good that words cannot describe how good they are...just sprinkle some "Mrs. Dash 'Table Blend'" on the chicken breasts before you cook them, put them on the grill, and have a great chicken dinner (only other thing you have to do is find something to go along with the chicken [maybe some white rice]). Cleanup is so easy it's ridiculous! The nonstick surface allows you to clean the grill surface with a soft clean cloth or sponge (dampened with warm water, of course), and the drip tray can go in the dishwasher. Just yesterday I prepared some turkey burgers (from Wampler Foods) on the grill, and it is amazing how much fat will be drained from turkey burgers (even though turkey meat has less fat that ground beef [which is what hamburger patties are made of], it still has fat). The George Foreman Grill really does "cut the fat" from food!

I have used this machine a couple dozen times now, and with great success. Fish, burgers, egglplant, greenbeans, chicken breast...
-- Meat, cooked from both sides, is done very quickly (Ignore the hamburger packaging that tells you to cook for ten minutes)
-- You'll enjoy watching the excess fat drip into the small drip-tray instead of sticking to a metal cooking pot that you'd have to scrub clean later.
-- Eggplant came out soft and delicious. Green beans were crispy and juicy.
-- There are no temperature settings. There is not even an on/off switch. Plug it in to pre-heat & cook, unplug it when you're finished. The only thing you need to control is the timer on your microwave. (I overcooked tuna steaks when I first got this grill, so that they were a little dry. Since then, I have learned to shorten the cooking time).
-- Cleanup: the best part. Clean with a wet paper towel or damp sponge. Especially easy while still warm. Use NO abrasives. (I use nothing other than the water that dampens the paper towel.
-- Smoke: Yes, there is a bit of smoke and steam that escapes, especially when I'm cooking beef & I lift the grilltop to add more seasoning. I usually grill by the window, so it's not a problem.
-- Size: the one drawback. If you're cooking for two, it's not easy to cram more than hamburger patty on this thing. Consider a larger one.
-- Price: note that there's a special shipping fee. The total price was still lower than that offered at my local store, though.

Even though the George Foreman Drill received rave reviews from alot of people and The Wall Street Journal, no less, I was still skeptical. How can something that looks like a toy actually work? I finally weakened when I heard Howard Stern sing it praises on his radio show. I bought it on Amazon the next day. The Grill really lives up to its reputation. Not only does it cook things fast, but it keeps the meat juicy. One reviewer recommended cleaning the Grill by immediately placing wet paper towels on it after cooking... and that works too. This is definitely one of the best inventions of all time!

An otherwise good product that has an
apparent quality/engineering flaw.
The timers for this product are useless.
I have had two of these grills and the timers on each item
failed on the VERY FIRST USE>
the dials were not forced, just inferior quality.
Of course, you are not supplied
with a customer service number to call for repair.
Thanks George!

The grill actually is a small-size GR20 series, not extra-size. I do not think it can serve family of 5 members. Let us think about it, 10~15 minutes just can do 2 pork or steak, how long it will take for 5 members? I do not like it.

I received my grill as a christmas gift and I use it for everything! Me and My husband have lost over 20lbs. since we've recieved the grill! The extra- large grill is perfect for our family of five and it cooks the food evenly through out. We can cook a frozen t-bone in 15 minutes or less. I recommend this for any busy mom!
