Customer Review: George Foreman GRP4 Next Grilleration
Summary: 2 Stars
This unit was recommended for making panini type sandwiches......It does not do a good job on paninis.....The grill does not get hot enough to toast the sandwiches unless they are left in the grill for long periods of time....The grill also does not allow putting any pressure or lock down force which would help the grilling process...no grill marks show even though the grill was preheated for approximately 10 minutes prior to use and the ready light cycled several times....it might be good for products that cook slower, like a pork chop or chicken breast, but I haven't tried that yet.....I truly wish I had not purchased this appliance as it does not do what I had hoped it would making speciality sandwiches.....if all you want is a grilled cheese sandwich on white bread, then it might be good for you....!!! One of the tags suggested by Amazon for this review is "panini grill".... don't believe it...Customer Review: OK for my purposes

My old Foreman Grill broke, and I decided to get a smaller one to replace it. I recently moved into a smaller place and space is at a premium. Also, I am only cooking for one, so a small grill suits my needs.
This grill has no timer, nor does it have a temperature setting. (My old one had both.) I was disappointed, but after a few days I just got used to checking my watch. I also bought a kitchen timer. I'm mostly cooking steaks and chicken breasts, so the time is pretty consistent.
I also had a little trouble at first putting the plates back on. I have to double-check each time because they don't always snap on snugly. However, I've finally got it down to a science, so I've been using the grill every day with satisfactory results.
If you're cooking for a family, this one is probably too small. But for one person in a smaller kitchen, it's not bad.
Customer Review: Not totally useless, but close

This grill is not very accurately described. It is described as a four burger size grill. We tried standard quarter pound frozen burgers and could not even fit three on this grill. Maybe 4 mini burgers would fit. The first time I used it was on some butterfly porkchops. It is suppose to cook from top and bottom at the same time. I raised the lid several times over a period of fifteen minutes and the top was hardly cooked at all. I got the spatula and was going to toss them into my trusty skillet to finish them off. When I flipped them over the bottom was black. May as well have an open grill. Also after about the fourth use the supposed non stick surface stopped non sticking. It would be an improvement if they would make the plates out of cast iron and forget the non stick stuff that don't work. The only plus to this grill is that the plates can be removed and soaked a while.Customer Review: Not so great

I just bought the George Forman grill after really enjoying a Krups panini maker I've been using all summer at a friend's house. I thought this alternative would be more versatile (for meats in addition to sandwiches) and easier to clean with the removable plates (panini makers don't usually have this feature). Well, I was immediately disappointed by the small cooking surface, at least 30-40% smaller than a panini maker. And the grilling plates, while removable, also seemed very lose and the overall of the machine wasn't very sturdy. So, back in the box it went and I just ordered a panini maker instead (actually a Delonghi as it has strong reviews and also allows for oil draining so will hopefully be a better combination of the features I am looking for. I'd pass on this product unless you are already familiar with these George Forman grills and know what to expect.Customer Review: I love George

I've had about 3 of the little George Foreman grills. I, like so many others, hate the fact you can't remove the grills. It's a wonder I didn't have a fire or something as I got to where I'd rinse it off under the water faucet. Say what they will, it still gets dirty and the non-stick coating doesn't last forever. However, I've always loved it. So it has been my desire for a long time to purchase one with the removable grills. This is it! I love it! I knew I would, though. Clean up is a snap. The plates clip in and out easily. You have to really be careful they connect on the top, though as it's kinda hard to align properly. But it's not a real hassle. The only reason I've given it 4 stars is it doesn't have a temperature control However, I probably could get one for a lot more money. This is reasonably priced and suits my needs perfectly.
