Overall its pretty good... it cooks my burgers pretty good. no so well on bacon. so far i only tried burgers.

the only bad thing about this thing is that its hard to clean the plates

It was so small and the quality is so cheap. It was light and the cover was filmsy. You can't really cook much on it. After one use, I didn't even bother with it; I just donate it. Don't waste your money on this product like I did.

I love this grill. Ditto what everyone else has said. Now, here is an EASY way to clean this grill. (seems to be the biggest complaint) After you are done cooking, and are ready to unplug, place a WET paper towel in the grill (while it's still hot). After it is cooled all you need to do is take out the towel, it will have absorbed most of the grease. Anything else will easily wipe away. I hope this helps anyone who is having a hard time w/ cleaning. This little machine has become my number one appliance. I can easily make grilled cheese for my son, grilled vegatble wraps for me and all the chicken my spouse cares to eat, with virtualy NO washing! I ready to upgrade to a larger model.

what a great item...never realized I could use it for so much in my kitchen. Just love it.

I bought this as a gift for an elderly woman. The bun warmer lid is fastened so securely that she cannot get it open. It was hard for me to get it open, but with effort I could do it. The grill plates do not come off the grill so she is unable to remove them for easy cleaning. The grill is too heavy for her to hold at the sink with one hand and clean with the other, so she uses a sponge while it sits in place on her counter.

I gave it three stars for the convenience of it's size, especially for a person who lives alone to use.

This grill makes good burger. It's very easy: just put the bun in the warmer, and the meat in the grill, plug the power cord, and wait several minutes according to the instruction in the manual, and you have a burger ready to eat. The grill has an angle so the oil and other liquid can drip down, I think this is a great feature.
However there are several issues: firstly, the power cord is very short, so most likely you will need an extension ford. Secondly, the grill is not very wide, so you can't fit 2 patties side by side, unless you use those mini patties. The bun warmer is also not wide enough to place the top and bottom buns side by side.
The worse problem is: it's very difficult to clean. You are not allowed to place the grill under running water, since water will get into the electric circuitry and damage it. It's recommended to use a cloth to wipe the grill surface, but this won't give it a really good clean. Of course, if you don't mind an oily grill with all the residuals, this grill will serve you well.

Was not what I expected from what I saw online. It was much smaller. I paid extra for fast shipping as it was to be a Christmas gift. I did not return it as it was going to cost me, with the extra shipping I already paid, double the cost of the item.

I just gave it away to someone who said they would use it. I was very disappointed.

My husband and I have had a George Foreman grill for a long time. We really like it. Cooks well and cleans easy. We purchased this grill as a gift for a friend for Christmas. Our friend told us he really likes it and will no longer be using his outdoor grill during the winter months. He says it makes the juiciest hamburgers he has had in a long time. We highly recommend the George Foreman grill and now, we have a friend who would tell you the same.

I got this as a gift in December of 2006. I haven't used it in months because it's a hassle to clean. It doesn't have temperature settings, it is either off or very hot. I don't use it for meat anymore becuase of this. It does grill vegetables well though. If you will use it a lot upgrade to a larger version with removable plates and an adjustable temps. It is a great idea but this bargain version is too stripped down to be very functional for me.

I love this little grill! The bun warmer is definitely a plus on it. Everything on it is compact and easy to store. The only problem I had with it is grease buildup - some always remain in the grill, no matter how many times you clean it. But at this price, you can afford to get another one every 2-3 years without breaking the bank.

If this grill is supposed to be nonstick, it's not. I grilled some chicken cutlets, when removing the cutlets from the item, parts of the meat was burnt onto the grill on the top and bottom plates. It was very hard to come off. I used soap, water and one of those half scouring pad half sponges and I had to use the scouring part to get the burnt portions off. Which ended up scratching some of the so called nonstick coating off. The next time I made cutlets, I used cooking spray. That seemed to help a little with clean up but I thought the whole purpose of having a nonstick item was so that you didn't have to use any oil while cooking?
Maybe I'm using the wrong kind of meat on this grill? Can it not handle grilling chicken? I'm scared to grill anything else on it. This item is no good.

As with all the other reviews, this is a great grill. I've owned mine for 6 years and bought ones for my mother and daughter. My only con is that the bun warmer lid flies open almost every time I open the grill. Since I don't use the bun warmer, this has become very annoying. Try to get one without the bun warmer and I think it would be perfect.

Does what it says it does. Cooks the meat just right and really drains a lot of fat and grease. Its a must have for every college student. Great product.

Cons: Wish the power cord was a little bit longer.

I actually bought this for a friend last year as an x-mas present and whenever I see him he always sings its praises. He says it's easy to clean, cooking temp is consistent and that he can make great steaks on it. This is one of those things that people claim they can use everyday and that's exactly what my friend does! He said he goes to Costco and buys a big pack of steaks and he's set for a couple of months. That actually doesn't sound very healthy or appealing but the point is that the product works as advertised.

Got this thinking I'd rarely use it, but I use it almost daily. Great for heating up all kinds of sandwiches, even veggie burgers. It's easy to use-- just plug it in and it's on. This is a quick and easy way to make sandwiches of all kinds. It's easy to clean and doesn't take up a lot of space. You can do two burgers at a time on this with no problem. Big enough for most people. Unless you have a huge family or are cooking for a huge event, it will probably work well for you.

I bought this for my daughter to have at Wheeling Jesuit University and she loves it. We are a fitness/nutrition-minded family that looks to solve eating problems (bad college food) through good products and healthy cooking techiques. This grill works perfectly. It cooks a small amount of food quickly with little mess or clean-up. We are both thrilled.

Easy to use, small size, bread warmer comes in handy, fat buster! lol Great for cooking frozen beef patties if you don't have a patio to grill in. Easy to clean (just wipe off debris).

I bought one of these to replace one I had a few years ago. It worked better then I remember. Go right from the freezer to the grill and in no time you have a good dinner. It easily holds a couple of big burgers or chicken breasts. I gave one as a gift and they love it also.

I quite like my George Foreman Champ grill. For just myself and my husband, it's quick and easy grilling with less grease and smoke than a charcoal or gas grill, and the cleanup isn't bad at all, the trick is to spray with water while still hot and wipe down quickly, takes less than a minute with burgers or chicken, a little longer with steak. I do think this size bun warmer is supeficial, there's barely room for one bun in the warmer and I find them to be too moist when we use it, but other than that, it's a great little gadget. If you're cooking for more than 2, though, you may want to consider a larger model.

i used to use this whenever i was grilling a type of meat or vegetable, but it always burns them and leaves other parts uncooked if other pieces arent uniform in thickness. this is not grilling because the heat is only transfered from those protruding grill lines which burn anything your cooking to simulate grill marks. all my marinades burn and get stuck to the grill. you definatly need to get a cooking spray because if you brush it on it will come right off. this is bad because i like to use olive oil, but even if you put it into a spray bottle it still likes to drip off. cleaning this unit is a chore because you cannot soak it, and it takes a bit of time to cool down before you can pick it up and go wash it in the sink. you also have to hold it at weird angles(upside down even) to avoid water getting into the unit especially the top half. the surface isnt really non stick and requires some scrubbing with a soft sponge. the bun warmer is useless, your better off having the grill open and placing you buns on that. the only thing that this thing does well in is make grilled sandwiches, the bread doesnt burn really but does get good marks if you butter it lightly.

if does take out alot of the oils but also alot of the juices because everything is being pressed, it is not a time saver, if you have a decent stove at home use it, the cleaning time will be comparable and you wont get transfers of taste or burnt bits onto other dishes. also the teflon nonstick coating has been questionalbe as a carcinogen in studies.

if you want something nonstick at a decent price get circulon, they make some decent cookware with also raised ridges that helps with reducing the amount of oil needed to cook.

The George Foreman GR10ABW Champ Grill with Bun Warmer is an outstanding unit. We use it primarily when we are indoors to cook up Chicken Breasts. They come out moist and golden brown. The beast white chicken I have ever tasted! We is best about this unit is that it cooks to our liking consistently. It is also easy to maintain and clean. It is attractive and innocuous. We love it.

Wonderful grill, perfect for the college student,

cooks a 1/2 pound patty in mintues,

cooked chicken and steak on it too,

along with bun warmer, makes a toasty warm burger :)

the foreman grill lives up to it's reputation.

Having this grill makes cooking a simpler task especially when you're rushing trying to decide what you can cook, and how you'll be able to get it finished while helping the children with homework, and preparing for tomorrow's day.

We're living in the phase of "drive thru convenience" You know that we all want it quick, fast, with minimal cost, and not a lot of clean up. Here is the answer to McDonald's Burger King, and any of your other fast food COSTLY spots.

Not only does it save you DOUGH, but it also CUTS the fat. Breakfast, lunch, and or dinner this grill is sure to please every consumer.

What every kitchen wishes for....

From the outset, I bought this machine to make healthier foods i.e. veggies for the family and it does not disappoint. So far I've grilled onions and I've done asparagus and sliced yams in a teriyaki-style marinade. Everything cooks up quickly and evenly. Keeping the grill veggies-only means I'm less concerned about whether food residue is left behind. (This grill IS a bit hard to clean.) After the surfaces cool down, I wipe thoroughly with a dry paper towel and it's ready for the next time.

I like this grill a lot but cleaning is awful. There is a new George Forman Grill out called "George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill with Removable Plates" that will be similar this grill but with removable grill plate for easy cleaning.

This is my review of the George Foreman GR10AWHT champ grill. Not a real fan of the bun warmer version. The lid kind of flaps around and seems flimsy to me. But the grill is amazing love it. Excavation .

The George Foreman grill is one of those items you see it yard sales per $10-$15 used maybe once. It's one of those items that people think is a hoax-a hack, but amazingly it's one of those items that works. The fact that you can get a brand new one for $15 is amazing. Sometimes you can even get a brand new one on Amazon for 10 that's crazy go nuts!

It is my recommendation buy one of these grills and make grilled cheese. It's amazing, done in less than seven minutes, or try a frozen chicken breast from frozen to juicy and done in less than 10 minutes. Perfect for bachelors or moms with bachelors in training or moms married to bachelors. You get the point.

So give it a shot perfect in what it does. I liked it so much upgrade to a larger size (know I didn't buy the company), and I use it everyday.

And yes I do know that he has six children named George crazy go nuts.

The grill marks on the top are very shallow, making this device better for panini than for grilling meat. If that was what it was advertized for I'd give it 3 or 4 stars. The plastic cleaning fork is worthless, and the non-stick coating begins to flake after 6 months. The barely raised ridges on the top makes the top of your meat evenly brown & dry without the grill marks. The bottom is not nearly as cooked as the top, and has the best marks near the opening where the grill lines are raised to form "teeth" to hold the meat in. When the grill started flaking, I went back to the Cast Iron grill I can put over 2 burners & control the temperature. I still use this grill for grilling panini sandwiches, as it makes the bread nice & toasty. Not reccomended for meat unless you make sure they are even & level. Not very fun to clean.

The George Foreman GR10ABW Champ Grill with Bun Warmer, was a Gold Box item. Everyone that I spoke with, raved about their "George Foreman." I thought it would be a great gift for my college student daughter (not domestic at all). She absolutely loves it! So far she has cooked chicken breast, all types of fresh veggies, and veggie burgers. I thought it would be a cleanup problem ~ but she said that it is not messy at all. Now I do not worry about her eating properly. She likes hers so much, I am buying the family one too! My parents (age 80) have a much larger one and they love it.

I purchased my champ grill back in Feb. It gets used 2-3 times a week. I live in a hot climate and my husband is a vegan. Eating right in the summer was always a problem for me because it's (a)hard to cook just 1 serving of meat conventional ways and (b) it tended to heat up the house.

Now I just put meat in the fridge to defrost over night, come home from work and within 10 minutes have a fully cooked healthy meal, and once the grill cools down a tad it's very easy to clean.

I've even made grilled veggies on this for my husband. Delish!

I can see this being a very useful appliance for a single person or couple with no kids, a college student, or anybody with a busy lifestyle.

I love this little George Foreman Grill. It was given to me as a gift. It works so fast and it is so easy to clean. It is an appliance that you should never put away.
The more you see it, the more use you have for it.

Too small to cook more than one hamburger pattie at a time which eliminates the time saving aspect of this grill. Also, I found that the outer edge of even the thinnest burger did not brown. Add the time needed for cleaning and I find it faster and more efficient to use a stove top skillet. I'm giving this one away but maybe, I'll try a larger size.

I had a different grill at another time, so I guess I can say I was spoiled. But this was really a disappointment to me. There is no timer for this, so you will have to watch the clock when you cook things. Plus (the worse part) is that the surface gets quite warm. You can only eat something fully cooked if it is thin- like a very thin hamburger. The outside of the food will burn before the middle gets cooked. If you do try to risk cooking a fat hamburger and warm a bun at the same time, the moisture from the cooking goes right into the bun warmer, and makes the break a little wet on the ends. It gets a little annoying after a while. You will always have to plug it in whenever you need to use it- it is always on. With my other, when I was ready to cook, I just turned on the timer to warm up, and it would be ready. I guess with this, you get what you pay for, if you dont pay full price...

I'm really glad I bought this thing. I'm a single person who doesn't usually cook more than one piece of meat at a time. I also love vegetables like red onions and green peppers that I used to try to saute in a skillet. Now I just spray the grill surface with olive oil spray, throw on the vegetables, and after about one minute my apartment smells like Chili's. It's a bit small so with the amount of vegetables I like to eat, I can't cook the meat and vegetables at the same time, but I knew this when I bought it since it's the smallest model.

As long as you don't try to throw something frozen on there, your meat won't come out black on the outside and raw on the inside (who does this to an outdoor grill?). I live in Kansas, so I don't have the advantage of Southern California weather so outdoor grilling is VERY seasonal.

I highly recommend this grill to anyone in whatever size would accomodate their needs. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that they could've put more options on it, and like the larger models, they could've made its legs adjustable.

I bought the George Foreman Champ Grill with bun warmer for my mother on her 80TH birthday. She has rheumatoid arthritis and cannot stand for any amount of time. After receiving and trying it she called me and was extremely delighted with how it cooked, how fast it cooked and the ease of cleaning it. Now she doesn't have to be a vegetarian any more, she lives with her nephew and all he eats are beans and vegetables. In fact he started eating chicken since mom started cooking with the George Foreman Grill. So everyone is HAPPY especially ME.

Just Buy It. This thing works great. I got one 9 months ago and I quit using anything else to cook meat since first use. It makes cooking meat easy, fast and easy to cleanup after. It drains off lots of fat.
As a bonus the meat tastes better, far better than oven, frying, microwave or convection oven. I use a lot less steak sauce and katsup because the meat tastes good. I've just bought two more from Amazon since the price went down from the first one I bought. This thing actually lived up to and far exceeded all the ads and hype.
