Makes Cooking Easy! - Review written on July 27, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

I have had this grill for over two years. It has served me well during that time. I regularly use it to cook hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken breast. The best aspect of this grill is that it is very easy to use. No more flipping hamburgers to turn it over. And the non-stick cooking surface is very easy to clean with the included spatula.

Do you hate cleaning up after cooking? Do you just loathe having to clean and dispose the grease and fat? The Foreman grill can make all of that easier on you. All of the fat melts off as the food is cooking and drains into a small plastic pan. All you have to do is empty out the pan at the end of your cooking. The cooking sufaces, top and bottom, will come off the grill for easier cleaning.

Highly recommended.

I've had the GRP4P for over a year now, got it from Macy's on sale. What can I say about this grill that hasn't been said before?! Just fabulous! After a 2-hr commute back from work, all I do is switch it on, let it heat up, simply spray a bit of olive oil on the surface and lay my marinated, defrosted (sometimes not) chicken or steak or fish or burgers on it, and ---walk----a----way. 20 minutes (and 40 winks) later...dinner! Some of the nonstick has worn off at the edges of the bottom plate, but the Grill works as great as ever. Am deciding whether to give the old girl some rest and buy the bigger one with the 5 interchangeable plates. Have read some negative reviews on that on a home shopping site, regrding the fit of the top plate. But I'll probably buy from Macy's or Fortunoff again. How did we live before it?

Grill burgers, steaks, hot dogs, brauts, and more on this handy, easy to clean grill. The cooking plates are Teflon-coated, and are removable for fast and simple cleaning. Unfortunately, there is no ON/OFF switch provided on the unit, but you can purchase one at your local hardware store, Lowes, or Home Depot.

I got one of the original GF grills and used it about once (because it was SO hard to clean!). I still have it and I still haven't cleaned it. But I was looking for a way to cook hamburgers without making such a mess and came across this (updated) grill. I have used it 2 or more times/week since I got it and really like it! Being able to remove the plates to clean them is a MUST HAVE. Do not get one of the cheaper grills without removeable plates.

I've done chicken strips and hamburger so far. Do NOT get 93% lean beef. It turns to rubber. I usually get 85% (and 80% is ok too). I just bought some frozen patties and wonder how they'll do.

As some people said, use damp paper towels to wipe the grill off while it's still warm and clean up is easier.

I wish it had a temperature dial because I like my burgers charred and it doesn't quite get hot enough. I also wish it came with a second grease pan. But overall I like it alot.

Don't remove the grill plates and then close the unit with the grease still under the front! I did it and the front dipped all the way into the grease. yuck.

I have been using a smaller George Foreman grill for a couple of years but wanted one with removable plates for easier cleaning.

This new grille works very well and is very convenient to clean since the plates can be removed and placed in the dish washer.

I am very satisfied with the product

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.

This is nice quality and much easier to clean than the orginal. The cooking surface is kind of small for us (it does about 3 burgers at a time), but that is no fault of the product. I mention it so you're aware.

I bought this grill from Amazon for $24.99 and it's just amazing. It will cook anything within minutes without the greasy mess (and no specific temperature settings!). The removable plates are amazing and immediately disappear in your dishwasher. The grill is heavy an durable. A+

I love this grill. I got it to replace same model that I ruined by putting the grill plates in my dishwasher too many times. The best thing to do is wash the grill plates by hand in the sink after removing them. Dishwashers are hard on the non-stick surface. Anyway, it works great and I highly recommend it for burgers, hotdogs and turkey burgers :-)

The grill heats up quickly and cooks well; the grill plates come out easily but go back in with difficulty. They don't seem to want to stay put when I place them back. And yes, I'm using the release clips. They clean easily. It's okay but not as great as I thought it would be.

I love my grilling machine. When I'm done I can take both grills of easily and toss it in the dishwasher. Cooks well and has the perfect angle to drainthe fat/grease. I would have given it 5 stars but I can't help but wish it had a on/off switch.

Like others who have reviewed this product, I stopped using my old GFG quite some time ago because it was a pain-in-the-(insert body part here)!

The removable cooking plates truly do make all the difference in the world! It's been used 2-3 times a week since its arrival and occupies a prominent spot on the kitchen counter.

After reading the previous reviews of this product I wasn't sure I was going to love it. My last George Foreman grill was fantastic, but I hated cleaning it because I had the older version with the non-detachable plates. This new version is perfect! It heats up quick, cooks my food evenly, and is blissfully simple to clean. Anyone who is looking for a simple, quick, healthy, and yummy way to cook should buy this grille and enjoy!

I upgraded from the smaller version to be able to cook more meat simultaneously and since this one had removable plates. That is the best part-the removable plates. Just pop 'em in the dishwasher and they're clean!

I wasn't happy that it doesn't have a timer built in like my old Hamilton Beach, but that has been a minor consideration. I like the way the plates come off and underneath stays clean - unlike the HB, which was getting pretty gooky under the plates towards the end. The GF also has a bit more surface area than the HB and the plates seem to clean up better and more easily than the HB.

They Finally fixed the George Foreman grill! The removable plates are great!
I have had a Foreman grill before and hated it because it was so hard to clean and really just a big mess.
The new Next Grilleration grill is so easy to clean and easy to use we may never use anything else.
It cooks good with no mess and is super easy to clean. Just pop the grills out and give them a quick wash and you are done.

George Foreman grills have been such a wonderful experience through the years to be able to cook healthier and relatively quick! My only problem all these years was the clean up, but now they have figured that kink out and make the grill removable and dishwasher safe!! How's that for thinking! Great item. Great idea and improvement to an already awesome product! Wonder what they'll think of next :)
Good concept, but not hot enough - Review written on March 09, 2008

The removable plates are nice for cleaning convenience, but they don't get anywhere near as hot as the old, standard George Foreman. The top plate seems to steam meat more than grill it. I only use this device occasionally -- if it was my only grilling option, I'd probably rate it lower.

The grill is fine and works well. I was replacing an old grill and thought this was larger. It's much smaller than my old grill and I was a little disappointed. Otherwise it works great and is really easy to clean.

We loved our old Foreman grill, but our only complaint was washing the grill plates by hand without getting the grill itself wet. This grill has removable plates that you can wash in the sink or pop into the dishwasher. Fantastic product, no complaints at all!

Gets the job done - Review written on February 19, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 5

I read a lot of reviews on Amazon before buying this unit. My first time using it went fine. I cooked up some thick chicken breasts, and they came out really juicy and cooked through.

I know some of you are looking to sear things, but I don't believe this unit gets hot enough to do that. It does cook really, really hot, but you'll put brown grill marks across your chicken, not black.

People say the Teflon comes off really easy, especially when you use any metal utensils. So when you can, use a paper towel or dish cloth to wash the grill plates.

If you're looking for a convenient way to grill up meats and vegetables, then I'd say go for it. It will definitely grill your food well.

Love the removal grill plates, but--veggies don't get grilled and stay mushy; don't get that nice grilled-onion-type flavor. Fish, etc. grills OK on the top, but not the bottom. Reheated a waffle from a restaurant and the top side got crispy but the bottom was still mushy. Also noticed that some spots seem to get more well done than others due to uneven temp on the same side. Really was looking forward to a grill with removal plates but unfortunately this is not the upgrade I was hoping for.

This is a good counter-top grill. It's good for things like pre-formed burgers, hot dogs, thin pork chops, small steaks, and fish fillets. I also tried to make a panini with it, but that didn't do as well as the other food items. The cooking plates are easily removed for cleaning. The unit heats up quickly, but lacks a temperature control so everything cooks at the same temperature. You have to watch thicker food items as they could burn and not cook evenly. These type grills are great for convenience sake, and are nice in the fact that grease drains away from the food into a collector tray that sits in front of the grill. My son loves this thing and I kind of like it too. It has a limited scope, but what it does, it does pretty well.
Not as good as the original model - uneven heating - Review written on February 10, 2008
* * *
Rating: 3 out of 5

Being able to remove the grill plates and put them in the dishwasher is a great convenience, but the upper grill does not reach as high a temperature as the lower, so cooking is uneven. I find I have to turn the item half way through cooking or one side is burned and the other does not even brown. The basic original model was much better in regards to the final cooked product, but cleaning was awkward. I would not recommend this particular GRP4 model.

This product is a big disappointment. The other reviewer hit the nail when they said it does not get hot enough to sear meat. It's a trade-off for sure -- you better decide whether you want "easy to clean" or "good to eat".

I haven't eaten this good since I left home. The fat drips off the grill while I make hamburgers. I store the fat in a plastic cup, and when it gets full I look at it and am grateful to have a grill like this, knowing I haven't put all that slimy fat into my body. I use my GF grill every morning and night, and the removable grill plates make it easy to clean.
Horrible-Does Not Get Hot Enough, Creates Rubbery Food - Review written on January 28, 2008

I have no idea why people like this grill. It does not get hot enough and it wrecks your food by making it rubbery and boiled tasting. I have tried to use it 3 times and everytime the food came out bad. Last night I cooked filet mignon - - a cut of meat hard to ruin - - and it was not the appropriate temperature. It does not even create the illusion of being grilled as it didn't even leave grill marks. I have tried boneless chicken and burgers and all would have been a million times tastier cooked in a pan on the stove. I am throwing my grill away, unless I can get the manufacturer or Amazon to take it back.

Rating: 4 out of 5

The reason I have given 4 stars and not 5 is because I compared this unit to the older Jumbo model I owned. This is a jumbo model too, but comparitively, this has lesser surface area, is slower to heat up, is a little clumsy in design. The only reason I still prefer this new model over my previous older one is that this has detachable plates which are way too easy to clean than my previous one, which was quite a chore. We use the grill every day, whether its to cook frozen chicken strips/tater tots/frozen naans/grill veggies/fish etc etc.

Unlike other contact grills, this one does not seem to get very hot. The removable plates may be a factor. The wattage also seems low to heat such a large surface area. I returned this for the 1400 watt version with non-removable plates and it does a better job heating up and grilling good nice and brown. That model is GRV120b.
