(More customer reviews)I had it easy this Christmas. There would be no repeat of the "Margarita Machine Incident" from 2008. I had very clear instructions from my wife that she wanted a new Foreman Grill, and _only_ a new Foreman Grill. All that was left for me to do was pick the version.
I can't give a side by side comparison with other Foreman grills, other than to our earlier one, but I can go over what I think are some nifty features on this model:
1) A big surface area means Really Big Waffles. Having a waffle maker that puts out two large waffles is great for those times when two hungry kids think the next one off the grill should be theirs.
2) A sort of double-hinge at the back. I'm not sure the technical name, but it allows the back of the grill to adjust as well. This reduces the annoying "steak wedge effect" from the old grill, where the one bigger cut of meat would reduce the contact with the grill for the other cuts. It makes for more even grilling.
3) The jury is still out on the timer. Although it is a nice option, we have yet to use it. ***UPDATE*** The timer and accompanying booklet are handy. Last night we grilled fajitas, and we used the cooking time for skirt steak based on thickness of meat and desired doneness, then adjusted to a somewhat thicker chicken breast. Both turned out quite well. The suggested cooking times cover several meats and cuts, and using the booklet plus the timer reduced the number of times we needed to check on the meat.
4) Small footprint. There are no handles or other protuberances, meaning that you get a good sized grill surface without taking up much cabinet space.
5) Finally, the big one: removable plates. This removes the biggest complaint with earlier grills, clean-up. Taking away the inconvenient and messy cleaning of the whole grill required by older models makes us much more likely to use this.
Overall, we are very pleased.
