George Foreman GRP90WGR Next Grilleration Removable-Plate Grill with 5 Plates, Red

Trash. Spindly. Poor Quality. DO NOT BUY

Handles on two plates broken when delivered. Have to pay for shipment back.

Cheap way to do business and this fiasco just put the end of my buying stuff from Amazon. And I have been a loyal customer for years, NO MORE

As good as advertised and in some instances even better. I would recommend this product to any one who likes eating without grease and fat. Some of the best burgers I have ever eaten came off of this grill. I like it so much I gave up my backyard propane grill for this.

Amazon seems to have a bad shipment of these grills.

The first one I ordered arrived with one plate that had all four corners chipped off and another plate with non-stick coating flaking off. It also had the Styrofoam packaging between the plates partially melted. I returned it for a second grill. The second grill had a broken tilt-lock mechanism and the grill would rock from flat to tilt mode every time I closed the top down. The second grill also had rust along the handle were it met the rubber hand-grip. I finally gave up and asked for my refund. I wasted 3 weeks of wait-time and two trips to the post office to return the units.

The good news is that Amazon automated customer support was easy to use to ship these units back (at Amazon's expense).

I ended up buying the Breville BGR400XL Ikon 1800-Watt grill from Bed Bath and Beyond. They were selling it for ~$100 and I could use a 20%-off coupon by ordering via phone from a store for direct delivery to my home. The Ikon grill has much better construction, higher steak searing temperature, and is able to grill and melt because the height of the top plate can be optionally set to 4 different settings so the top plate need not touch the food. It still has the adjustable tilt and floating top grill features of the Forman G5 grill. It however does not have waffle plates.

Hi everyone! So far I like this little grill. Before I bought it, I read both negative and positive reviews. Although I don't agree with some of the negative reviews, to each their own. I will say though, I will keep an eye out for the disappearing non stick coating. That's the only negative review that I'm taking seriously. I don't care that it only comes in red or that it is retro looking. I like it and everything I've cooked on it has turned out near perfect. Even though it doesn't have a bell that goes off when the food is done, all I do is set my oven timer and problem solved. So I don't have to stand over it the full time.

Now for some of my own pleasant experiences. I grilled some burgers and turkey patties. Both turned out great! Just 5 minutes for the beef, and a little longer for the turkey patties. The fat came draining out into the fat catcher. I've also made waffles. In my case I used Hungry Jack, followed the directions, used Pam, and cooked them for 4 minutes. I did three ladle fulls per side or enough to cover each side. They turned out great too! Old fashioned style, no sticking, lightly crisp and tender. Easy cleaning with soap, water, and a soft sponge.

The only thing I wish was a little different was being able to have some convienent side storage. Not a big deal, but just a suggestion.

I got my grill for $79.99. In this case it didn't come with a full on cookbook or a omelette plate. Personally I don't need either one, but if you do want them, you can get it all at a higher price. Mine came with the 5 plates and a leaflet that had a small recipe guide for times.

If anything negative does happen I will be sure to post it. Until then I will keep enjoying my grill.

Best wishes.

I received my grill last week and just used it twice today. I like it very much as I made grilled chicken and a Cuban Panini that came out excellent. I have one problem, when I received it, the handle was bent and it wasn't from shipping, but decided not to send it back. The other thing, I was checking things out and discovered that this exact grill in other stores comes with a cookbook, bonus omelet pans and cleaning sponges. The price varied from store to store but in the ballpark, and with Amazon you don't get the bonus items of which you have to pay extra. Not sure what the nice cookbook is worth but the omelet pans are $12.99 and cleaning sponges are $4.99 on here. I did receive free shipping and the lower price with Amazon, but be careful as in some of the stores you pay a few dollars more but get extra items included.

Pros: Good combination grill (panini, waffles, grilling meats etc), easy to clean, large cooking surface, quick delivery, lower price.

Cons: Handle was bent (not from shipping), no cookbook or bonus items included as sold in local stores.
