Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This grill works fine. I was worried when I read all the reviews of people who had the older grill with the permanently attached plates, and they complained that this model does not get at hot. Maybe, but it does get hot enough to cook fine. It might take a little longer, but the convenience of the removable plates for cleaning is worth it. I can put 3 quarter pound hamburger patties, or 2 third pound patties on it, FROZEN and in 12 minutes they are cooked fully well done all the way thru, and seared on the outside just fine. All you have to do is wait for the ready light to come on. These burgers are about or over 3/4 of an inch thick, so it should work fine with chops or steaks too as long as they are not very thick. The clean up is really simple. Wait till it cools, remove the plates and clean them in the sink. I cannot imagine the mess of cleaning the version with the permanently attached plates. This grill works fine, it might take longer than the older version, but the convenience of the removable plate clean up is well worth it. If you live alone, or have a small family, this grill is well worth it.
