Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I hated this thing. I was looking to replace a ugly foreman grill with something that looked nicer and possibly easier to clean. The versatility of flipping the plates as a flat grill was appealing, but primarily I was just looking for a nicer Foreman grill replacement. And it was not. What I thought was going to be a great idea having the grease trap underneath and out of view - was absolutely useless. I had wondered prior to purchase as to how that would even work. In reality it doesn't. It has a tiny little slot in the rear that if the planets are are in the correct alignment that a few drops of grease may enter. Instead any and all grease just pools up on the bottom plate (that which isn't splattered all over the counter). Fun. Yes, my plans were to cook hamburgers on this thing. Using anything other that super low fat content beef and this thing is a horror show. I usually use 80/20, or 85/15 ground beef, and both just make for a mess on this machine. I imagine if you are using this for Kale Panini's or anything not meat related, this grill might work ok for you. Also - the cord on the machine seemed to get very (very) warm. I've used plenty other counter top machines, and this was the first one that I was concerned with. I don't want this thing in my house.
