Broken after first use
As the other review mentioned, mine was broken after first use of searing. I followed the instruction, but after first time use, it kept giving me error message and would not work. In addition, it is really bulky/heavy and takes up quiet some space. I returned mine, and will not recommend it.

George Foreman Grill
This is a great buy!. It does better with thicker cuts of steaks/tuna as thinner pieces won't have contact with the upper grid. The sear function really sears and browns the meat. There is less mess caused by grease spattering, when compared with searing in a pan on a stovetop.

Awesome Grill - Love it So Far!
I recently received this grill as a wedding gift and have used it a few times since unpacking it. I have to say that I'm very impressed with it so far. At this time, I've cooked center cut porkchops, chicken breasts, hamburgers, and some veggies on the grill and all have turned out perfectly!
I've used the burst feature with a few of those meals and I think that feature is the best part of the machine. The "burst" allows you to sear the meat and lock in the flavor for the first 90 seconds of cook time. After 90 seconds, the temperature lowers to the set temperature and will remain on that temp until the cooking process is finished. Each meal that I've cooked has turned out perfectly - very flavorful and tasty.
Reason I give 4 Stars:
- VERY bulky - the grill is not particularly big, but the casing of the grill is very bulky - it's not a con for myself, but it may be one for those looking for a compact grill and who have less counter space
- No removable plates - although clean-up has not been particularly hard, it sure would be a perk to have removable plates...
All in all, I think this is a great grill and Amazon has the hands-down best price. This grill is at a popular bed and bath chain for $100 - you just can't beat Amazon's prices. If you're looking for a great, all around counter-top grill, this one fits the bill. The floating hinge and burst features allow you to make everything from steaks to paninis - It was everything that I was looking for!
