I used this grill through college and it cooks everything quickly, but overcooks meat and veggies (whatever food is unlucky enough to be cooked inside). This is not my favorite cooking method- because the grills are on an angle, all the juice/oil/grease fall run off into the reservoir below, so food is left tasteless and with a dry cardboard/jerky texture. Performance This grill (over)cooks everything very quickly. There is a grill on the bottom and a grill that closes down on top of the food- so the food cooks from both sides and cooks extremely fast. In a matter of minutes, it cooks anything. Durability I used this grill during college, and I moved several times and cooked with it constantly. It held up very well, and I found it to be extremely durable. Ease of Cleaning It is bulky as a grill- and the grill plates do not detach from the entire apparatus, so the entire grill must be placed into the sink in order to clean it. But, the grill plates are non-stick, so they can be wiped down, as can the plastic parts (spatula and grease reservoir dish). Ease of Use All you need to do is plug the grill in, slap food inside and pull the top down. It is very simple and easy to cook with the George Forman Grill.

Overall this product is amazing. It has survived being moved multiple times, being used many many times, and cooking many different products. It is small, but effective. My only program that could be had with it is that the cord is short, otherwise I have no complaints after having it for the past 5 years or so. I definitely recommend this product. It is 100% worth the price. Performance The grill cooks things fast and pretty evenly. I can never really leave anything, because it cooks too fast to leave it. I have used it to cook steak,, burgers, and even grilled cheese sandwiches (I didn't have a stove at the time...). It cooks so many different things and so it is so easy! I love that it is small enough that it doesn't take up too much room. It easily fits in a drawer. Durability I've had this for quite a few years and it's moved with me a few times, and I've used it MANY times. It still works like when I first bought it. Ease of Cleaning Sometimes you have to scrub a little, but I usually just try and wipe it down right after cooking so that it doesn't get stuck later. Ease of Use It is so incredibly easy. It is literally a plug and go product. You put the little drip tray thing under it so it catches any juices and/or grease. Otherwise there's not much else to it. To stop using it you just unplug it.

I have to say, although I like George Forman's products and actually own a few, this is one that is not my favorite. First and foremost, it is a bit difficult to clean because the grids don't come off and you've got to find a way to scrape left over residue from them without doing damage to the product. That can be a bit difficult since the grill opens only a certain amount, you are limited to the space between the gaps. The grill is also not stick free. You've got to spray it with Pam or a similar non stick spray. Another thing is that if you are cooking marinaded meat you're in for an extra treat because everything that sticks to the grid will burn and become difficult to remove. On the bright side however, the grill cooks food quickly and seems to lock in flavor while draining the fat. It also heats up quickly. It has some positives but, overall, it disappointed me a little bit.

I just loved my first George Foreman Classic Grill for 2 people. Actually it was more like 1 person but either way it was wonderful. I have had it for about 10 years. A pleasure to use, clean and small enough to hide away or leave on the counter. I am currently looking for a new one that will serve enough for 3 people. It looks like a 6 server might be the way to go I am told. I guess I shall see. Nevertheless, this is a perfect way to cook and also to ensure you are eating healthy as all the (maybe not all) the fat pours out. If you never have tried one I wholeheartedly recommend that you do. It can be used for fish, chicken, meat, sandwiches, vegetables and much more. Performance Great performance product. Cooks in minutes and just about to if not perfection. I have not experienced burning anything and have always been able to get all my food in there, until recently as my family grew which is why I want to switch up to a larger one. Durability Still have my first one from 10 plus years ago and going strong. Ease of Cleaning I have never had anything easier to clean in I don't know how long. All you need to use is a wet cloth right after use. Everything comes off right away and then you are done. Nothing else to do. Ease of Use Put your meal on it and close it. Time it and all done.

This is the most fantastic appliance I have ever purchased. I had waited a while to ever get one of these but I have to say I wish I would have gotten one a long time ago. It works so well and makes dinnertime so simple all I have to do is throw my food on the grill and it's done within minutes. Another thing, I used to just think that it was for meat only but it's not, I've used it to grill vegetables as well as make a sandwich, the possibilities are endless. Performance This grill performs wonderfully, it's so fast and efficient, it takes just minutes to have your food fully cooked and grilled to perfection, not to mention the fact that it's so much healthier since all the fat just drains away! Durability George foreman grills are so super durable, they stand up to anything. I have used this grill for 5 nights this week and can do that every week and it stands up to the test. Ease of Cleaning This grill is extremely simple to clean, I lost the accessory it comes with to clean it, but I just pour a small amount of hot water on the grill plates while it's still hot and simply wipe everything away with a rag and it's all gone just like that. Ease of Use This grill is so easy to use, just plug it in a add your food and it's done in no time it makes mealtimes so quick and easy.

I have own the George Foreman Indoor Grill for over 8 years. This grill is perfect for cooking hamburgers, chicken breast, pork chops, steaks and fish. My favorite thing to grill is hamburgers. I like this grill literally drains most of the fat out of ground beef. It amazes me how much fat is in one single hamburger pattie. When I use my grill I always make sure to let my grill heat up for 3 to 4 minutes then place my food on the grill. The George Foreman Grill cooks food evenly on both sides. The grill cooks food pretty fast so its best to check on your food to make sure it doesn't over cook. Once I am done cooking on my grill I make sure to unplug it. Cleaning this grill can be a bit of a challenge at times when food harden on the grill plate. I make sure to use a hot dish towel with dish detergent to clean my grill. I never use a brillo pad because this would scratch the drilling plates. Overall I really like this grill because I can cook meat in minutes and I don't have to worry about turning on my stove and heat up my entire house. I would recommend this product for it is very useful. Performance Cooks well but one has to keep check on their food to insure not to over cook it.

I got this as a wedding present. I think I've only used it to make meat products once or twice, but we use it at least five times a week making the best and quickest: quesadillas, grilled stuffed burritos, grilled cheese sandwiches, and other panini type sandwiches. Performance Super easy to use, just plug it in for a few minutes and it heats up evenly. Put your food in for the right amount of time, and it comes out crispy, melty and gooey (if there's cheese involved). I have tried to make chicken breasts in it twice, and I didn't think it did a good job. I felt it got overcooked on the outside, and was basically tasteless. We basically stick with non-meat products on our Foreman. Durability I don't see how there can be any problems with durability, unless you dropped this grill on the floor or something. Its pretty solid, heat distributes evenly, no problems in over 2 years or so of use. Ease of Cleaning We just wipe it out with a wet paper towel and heat it up. I figure the heat kills off all the excess food bacteria, and because its non-stick, nothing gets stuck. Melted, burned cheese easily wipes off with a wet towel. Ease of Use If it wasn't easy, we wouldn't be using it. We seriously use it 5-6 days a week grilling quick lunches and hot sandwiches. I really should try more meat on it, but I love it the way we use it =)

A very versatile appliance which does much more than simply grilling chicken or burgers. The Foreman grill can cook almost anything dinner-wise and cooks quickly and thoroughly. The handy grease trapper is invaluable. Clean up ease has to do with what has been prepared with some things sticking to the grillandamking cleanup a little harder. Otherwise this is an invaluable grill, that takes up very little counter space. Performance Perfect as far as as dependable heating. Everytime I cook burgers I know down to the miinute when they will be ready every time. Durability Very durable. Have had no problems in this regard. Ease of Cleaning The only problem with the grill is ease of clean up and even thi is not a huge problem. It does take more than a few swipes of a sponge to clean after cooing certain things but that is no big problem. Ease of Use I really don't see how the George Foreman grill could e any easier to use. Cooking times are very reliable and food comes out tasty and well cooked.

I bought this grill a few months back after hearing a family member say how much she loved it. The first time I cooked on it I fell in love! With the first use I made burgers and as they cooked the excess grease and fat drained away into the handy tray. The burgers even after having lost all that excess grease were still juicy and full of flavor! Any little quick meal item I could usually grill I throw on this grill. Salmon is fantastic! And did I mention that the clean up is super easy? All I do is unplug it and let it cool while I am eating and come back to it with a dish clothe with a bit of soap on it and give it a few wipes and voila clean! There are never any left over taste of anything that I have cooked prior, sticking isn't a problem. It is also great for grilled cheese sandwiches. Leaves great grill marks and creates nice crispy edges! Its quick, handy, clean and healthy. Definitely worth the buy!

The george foreman grill helps you cook things like hamburgers and give them that grilled taste like they came right off the grill. Performance Great and only take a little time to cook. We always use this when making hamburgers for the kids in the winter. They love the grilled taste that using this gives their hamburgers. Durability Very durable and will last a lifetime. Just clean after every use and you will be ready for the next time you want to cook. Cooks a lot faster than a regular grill too. Ease of Cleaning Do not try to melt cheese when cooking your hamburgers. You do need to do this separately. Other than that, it is easy to clean just with a wipe of a rag. Ease of Use One of the most useful things you will ever buy. it makes cooking easier even during those really hot summer days. Stay in the air conditioning and enjoy the comfort of grilled food. You can cook a variety of meats and sandwiches on this. The only things I use it for are hamburgers and grilled chicken.
