Amazon.com Review
Steaks, burgers, hot dogs, fish, pork chops, French toast, sandwiches, hash browns, vegetables... The list goes on and on of foods and meals this compact countertop grill can cook on both sides simultaneously. A recipe booklet makes that clear, and even shows how a version of beef stroganoff can be prepared between the grill's top and bottom cooking grids in minutes. When the whole family sits down for a meal, or hungry friends turn up, the top opens flat, doubling the cooking surface to 216 square inches. (Each grid's effective cooking surface measures about 12-1/2 by 7 inches; closed, the grill--made of hard, bright, black plastic--measures 16-1/2 by 13 inches overall.) Other fine features: fats drain into dishwasher-safe drip tray for healthful cooking; timer shuts off grill automatically when cooking time elapses; dishwasher-safe, nonstick grids remove for easy cleanup; and cord wraps into bottom for storage. --Fred Brack

A good, solid grill September 30, 2008
Have had this grill for 5 years. In that time, it was used daily...sometimes twice or thrice. Sadly, it bit the dust just a few days ago. I contemplated about buying the same one, but in the end opted for a Breville model instead (comes with interchangeable plates. Some grooved, some smooth).

Things I noticed in its 5 years of use:
1. The plastic top on all the sides began to bubble and flake off
2. The non-stick coating began to flake off
3. Just a few months ago the timer knob busted and fell off. But, it could still be used as long as one was careful turning it.
4. Just a few days ago, the timer no longer works. Only way to now use it is to plug it in for it to be on, and unplug it for it to be off. This is just a bit too dangerous for us, in case we would forget to unplug it, so it's time for a new one.

Even though I'm going with a different model this time around. This little guy was still a good, solid model, and am very glad I had it. I still would recommend it. And for the price, it's hard to beat! It heats up perfectly after a 5 minute warm-up period, cooks food evenly and thoroughly. I'll probably keep this one around as a back up if anything happens to the new one, or if I need to grill more food.

Move over George September 2, 2008
This is a great product. I had one for years and by my own fault ruined it. I immediately ordered another one, I use it so often. Love the fact that the grill surfaces are removeable and very easy to clean. If I'm not cooking on the outdoor grill this is what I'm using.

Bottom Grill Plates lose the non-strick quick June 19, 2008
I've had this grill for about 9 months and except for one thing, I love it. The bottom plate stick free coating started coming off and is 80% gone now, in less than a year. I like this grill so well, I've willing to buy a new bottom plate but can't find one, not even the the Hamilton Beach site.

Easy to clean May 28, 2008
We have had this grill for a couple months and use it 3 - 4 times a week. The clean up is a breeze. The removable trays can easily be washed in the sink or dish washer. Food just slides off. The cook time is exactly as directed. We use it mainly for fish. It browns evenly every time. The only downsides would be the weight and size but I'm willing to deal with that for a grill that lasts.

Fast, safe, good results April 28, 2008
Two big selling points, a 15 minute shut off timer, and an internal drip tray. This is our second one, worth the money. Food cooks fast, never burnt, I use the full 15 minutes for all meats (fish though stuck to the grill). Having cats the jump up on the counter sometimes the internal drip tray is great. I can throw thin steaks, chicken, hamburgers on, with onions and bacon, and it comes out perfect. Handles three regular sized hamburgers at a time. My wife gets on me about not cleaning it up as often as I should. However, when I do clean it the gunk comes off easily. Good value for money.
