Great...For Six Months
In February 2008 I purchased a George Foreman GRP4 Series grill from Amazon.com. I have been absolutely thrilled with it. I've been using it almost daily, and sometimes more than once in a day.
In September, however, the non-stick surface started to deteriorate...quickly. I have never used anything other than the included spatula/cleaning tool and a soft sponge to clean the grill surfaces. At this point, both surfaces, especially the bottom one look several years old and just about everything I try to grill sticks horribly, regardless of how much non-stick spray, or even regular oil I use. I am sorely disappointed. My grill is literally ready for the trash bin after only 8 months of use.
And just for the record, I have a burger press which makes 4 oz. burgers and only three will fit on the grill at a time. This I can live with.
I have friends who have not had the problems I have had, but they admittedly don't use the grill very often.
I contacted a parts supplier recommended by the Foreman web site and was told no replacement plates are available fro my grill model. Bummer.
The cooking concept is brilliant, and I love all the stuff I've made with the grill, but I had hoped it would last longer than 8 months.

Much more handy!!
We have used the George Foreman for years - but hated the fact that the plates couldn't be removed for cleaning. We LOVE this one!!

This Forman Grill is even better!
Our George Forman 2 burger grill finally wore out and it was time to shop for a new one. I hoped that by now there would be an upgrade to the product that would have removable grills for easier cleaning, and was I one happy camper that this GRP4 model had just that. At first we balked that it was bigger than our other grill for just us two, but it worked out perfect as we also like grilled veggies and now all can be done in one batch with this model. The removable grill plates just took a couple tries to figure out how to seat them so they'll lock in correctly. We discovered with our first couple of uses that you have to let the grill heat up completely (wait for the indicator light to go out) or the top grill will not be as hot as the bottom and so of course will not grill as well as it is supposed to. But it is working great so far plus with easier clean-up of removable plates this grill is being used even more than the old one.
