SMALL IN SIZE BUT BIG IN DELIVERY,
I “downsized” from a George Foreman Cafe Grill to this smaller grill. The main reasons being a) the Cafe grill takes up a lot of workspace b) the plates are not removable c) after a while the plates started to lose their non stick. This grill takes up a very small space on my work surface. There are two of us and I agree it really is only a grill for 2 portions. You could just about fit 3 chicken fillets on if you put them top to tail, but not with steaks. However, the beauty of this grill is that the plates are removable so it makes washing them a dream. Just pop them in warm soapy water and hey presto, a few minutes later, wipe over and they are good as new! For this alone I rate it 5 stars. This one does not have an adjustable temperature guage but as yet I have not found that a problem. I would recommend this grill to those with limited space or for a single person or couple who want an easy to maintain George Foreman model.

|Does not heat up,
I’ve had a standard George for ages and had only one complaint: it was difficult to keep clean as you couldn’t put it in the dishwasher. I decided to upgrade to this model which has removable grills hoping that this would improve on an already great product: it didn’t!
The grill plates simply did not heat up enough. My old George would be sizzling hot in a few minutes and leave some nice griddle marks on the food in moments. This thing was a totally different story. The thermostat light seemed to take an absolute age to go out (at least 10 minutes). According to the manual it is only after this light extinguishes that the grill is hot enough to cook. After a further 20 minutes attempting to cook a pork steak I admitted defeat. The steak was cooked but it was a pale, dry, unappetising piece of food – it wasn’t even that thick.
I assumed that the product must be faulty so asked for a replacement. A new one turned up and… same problem. It takes forever to heat up. Sent this one back and got a refund.
My old George was great but this new design seems to have a design flaw that prevents the heating element from achieving decent heat transfer to the grill. My advice – get a standard one

|Too Small,
Got this a couple of days ago and have used it with great success cooking steaks, the 3 star rating on this does not reflect the cooking ability but more on the size of the grill. This is supposed to be a three portion but to be honest is only suitable for cooking for 1 if doing steaks. The removeable plates work well, I’ve not had it long enough to judge if the appliance has cold spots reported by others but time will tell.
