Great grill, cleaning is kind of hard. Mar 02, 2010
By D. Couse
"darkman1969"
We have used this grill now for about a month and are very satisfied with it. We've used it for full chicken breasts, pork chops, chicken breasts sliced in half, hamburgers, bacon and much more.
I have to say, that this grill has made cooking a snap for our family. The larger surface area is the key on this, as every meal we've prepared on it has been for a family of four.
However, there are a couple of things that keep this from a 5 star product in my opinion. First is cleaning. It's not very user friendly, and paper towels are hard to get in between the valleys. You can use a sponge, but then your sponge is pretty much dead after a couple of uses. They give you 2 spatulas that we've begun using to scrape the dry matter from the grill. Secondly is that there is no temperature control. Just plug it in, wait 8 minutes for the grill to heat up (I think it heats up a lot faster than that, however, the manual does say to wait 8 minutes) and hope you have the right time set for your meals. The instruction booklet does give recommended cook times which we have found to be way too long. Just tonight we cooked 4 .25lb hamburger patties in 5 minutes and they were well done. Lastly, it does not cook bacon very well. The strips near the top always burn, while the strips near the bottom don't seem to cook very well at all. The bacon itself tends to settle down in between the cooking area so the top doesn't really touch/cook the bacon from the top. It probably cooks it more by radiant heat on the top than direct.
All in all, we are very satisfied with this grill. Just be prepared to make mental notes on cook times for foods you like and use their initial cook times as a guide until you figure out how you like your food cooked.

 Jack of All Trades! Oct 04, 2009
By Elizabeth Hall
Got this George Foreman grill as a gift. Promptly grilled sausages last night, bacon this morning, a panini this afternoon and hamburgers this evening!
It's a super versatile appliance - heats up rapidly, cooks food evenly and swiftly. I like how it comes with 2 drip trays to catch all the fat you won't be eating! Also the two spatulas are helpful. Will be using this constantly! Can't wait to try salmon, veggies, etc. Only drawback - short cord - but understand that could be a safety feature. Love this grill!

Just short of great Jun 03, 2010
By Doug
Good size. Good layout. Better than the rounder grills. This is my fifth big grill from George. If ever one needed a variable temp control, this is it. This sucker is HOT compared to the other Foreman grills. The grills have a drip channel around the grilling surface which is most useful when cleaning. For some obscure reason the engineers didn't extend the outside channel ridge on this model around the back. When cleaning the top if you drip any liquid it runs onto the counter. This is the only one I've seen with this unfortunate feature.

George Foreman-FAMILY SIZE Feb 01, 2010
By C. Martin
I bought this for my mother. It is our family's first George Foreman grill, but I couldn't imagine what use the regular size one would have unless you are living alone and cooking for just yourself. Within a few days after buying it my family has already made bacon, chicken, and steak on this grill, and it's been great.

Great For Grilling London Broils Jul 10, 2010
By Susan Marschall
I was looking for a quick way to grill a London Broil for at least 2-3 people without having to turn on the oven and the size and lack of clean up with this grill is great. It also comes with an on/off button which some of the GF grills don't have and that was definitely a feature I was looking for. I also feel the price was right. I am very happy with how quickly I received the grill also. (*Days sooner than promised.)
