Great grillStrengths: Removable plates, timer, temperature controller Weakness: Little smaller than former jumbo grill I have had the previous george foreman grills in the past and all worked pretty well until they quit working because of internal wiring issues. The one thing that would make clean-up easier would be the removable plates. Now I don't have to position the grill near the edge of the sink to rinse the fat and gunk off it. Oh yes, it cooks food with grilling perfection. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Worth the wait!Strengths: Easy to clean, accurate timer, variable temperature. Weakness: Steam seems to leave permanent marks in the finish in a couple of spots. I love this grill. I've been stubbornly waiting for this specific model. I kept telling my husband that I was waiting for removable grill plates. It seemed so obvious to me that the grill plates should come off for ease of cleaning. It was worth the wait. I use it for all sorts of things ranging from sandwiches to "steak-ums" to chicken breasts and burgers. You name it. Great for things that splatter grease on the stove, no worries with "George", also great because you can set the timer and ignore what's inside. "George" will let you know when it's done. And clean up is a breeze! Glad my wait is over! 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

A Nice Grill Upgrade from Previous GenerationsStrengths: removable parts for cleaning, temperature indicator, cooks fast and efficiently Weakness: none yet We had one of the older, smaller George Foreman grills which we used quite often but had it's annoyances. There was no off/on switch and no temperature or time indicators... the cooking area was also pretty small. There was also no easy way to clean it. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Excellent grillStrengths: Easy to clean. Weakness: Wish the smoke had a directional output towards the hood. Overall I like it over the other indoor grills I have seen.Removable plates are a blessing. Otherwise in the older grill, I had to wash the whole thing in the sink and it was difficult. This one improves on the experience. Electronic controls are very good. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Foreman GrillStrengths: Great, was able to cook brats and cook steaks, fast, easy to clean Weakness: learning curve how long to cook meat. Loved it, used it at small cottage with limited counter space. Used on brats one night and steaks the next. Very easy clean up, dishwasher save pans. The expandable hinge helps with thick items. Very fast too. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

FOREMAN RULESStrengths: Extremely convenient Weakness: does not make food taste nearly as good as a regular outdoor grill Works very well and very fast. I like to make myself quick fast hot meals. This does the trick fine. I also like how the fat drips off. Makes me feel healthy. Meat tastes a little like microwave cooked, but not nearly as gross. For quality I still recommend an outdoor grill 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill wStrengths: Removable plates, easy cleaning. Weakness: Cord is entirely too short. I cooked a great grilled cheese sandwich as my first meal. Came out very crispy. However, it shows on the package you cooking bacon and eggs together on the grill plate, but the plate has no out for the grease. So your eggs are cooked in bacon grease. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Waste of moneyStrengths: Removeable plates for cleaning Weakness: Doesn't reach temeperature, steams rather than grills We bought one of these to replace an older family GF grill, which was losing its non-stick coating. A big mistake, although the plates are easy to clean tey simply don't get hot enough to grill food, it rather bakes or steams to cook. So disappointed we thought it must be faulty and sent it back. The replacement stopped working at all after a week, so now that's going back too and we will get our money back. Looks like its got to be fixed plates for it to work. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill with...Strengths: Removeable grilling plates, temperature display, timer display, on-off switch. Weakness: Needs to be the size of the old family size unit. Doesn't really brown the meat. I had the older George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine in the large family size unit. It was a pain to clean. So, I stopped using it. I use the GRP99 at least 3 times a week. I love it. It cooks items without drying them out like conventional grilling. I wish it was a little larger though. You can comfortably cook three NY strip steaks, and four if you really cram them together, but then they don't cook evenly. 94% of readers found this review helpful.

George Foreman GrillStrengths: Much easier to clean than previous models, built-in timer and temp control Weakness: None yet I previously owned a first-generation George Foreman grill (the type without the removeable plates) that I loathed using. Clean up was a nightmare on prior models, nightmare enough to make me more apt to order out than to actually good the food at home. I finally get fed up and threw my old grill out and purchased the "Next Generation Grill" with removable cooking plates. 88% of readers found this review helpful.

Good, Medium Priced George Foreman GrillStrengths: Removable, Nonstick Plates Weakness: None so far! This grill is a nice kitchen appliance to own. It cooks and performs well. The metallic exterior is a nice touch and blends well with stainless kitchen items. Meats cook quickly and taste very good. The size is medium to large (in comparison with other GF grills). It allows one to cook a handful of burgers (approx.) at the same time. The product is a great addition to the GF line. 67% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill with...Strengths: Removable nonstick plates Weakness: none My friend brought it and it was defactive first time. Amazon replace it and it was defactive second time too. Finally he returned it and got his money back. So this product has known to be defactive. This grill has been working good so fat and I hope it stays that way. This is my first grill, so I can not compare with other models. 40% of readers found this review helpful.

Teflon comming off, used only twiceStrengths: Easy to clean Weakness: Not quite hot enough to put grill marks on food. I only used the item twice and noticed that the teflon was already comming off in places. Also it seems like the grill is not getting hot enough to put grill marks on the food. Probably because the removeable plates don't fit real tighly at the top and bottom. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? TopAdvertisement

George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill with...
Strengths: Removable plates, stainless steel look, size.
Weakness: The product has been known to be defective. Doesn't get as hot as the older models.
The timer and temperature control went out on my grill the first time I used it, but the food still cooked and it was good. I received a replacement that just had the same problem so I will have to send it back also. The grill cooks great while it is working.
