Hamilton Beach Contact Grill, 03/27/2008
By shortmama65, Dayton, OH
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I really like this grill. It is very versatile. You can use it both as a contact grill or open it up to use both sides. I really like the fact the the plates come off and you can put it in the dishwasher. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent value for the money, 03/13/2008
By jjef1951, Southern IL
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Can prepare meals quickly and with much less grease. This product performs exactly as advertised and represents a great value for the money --- MUCH better than any of the George Foreman models.

Good for boneless. Bad for meat with bone., 03/13/2008
By TheGriller
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

It works fine for boneless fillet meat.
But for meat with bone like Chicken thighs, it does not cook meat evenly.
Cleaning is easy.

love my grill, 03/01/2008
By Mrsocka, Upper Sandusky, Ohio
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I really like my Hamilton Beech grill. I had the smaller one but it was a bit small for the 2 of us so I purchased the larger one. I love it. I use it almost everyday. I even grill hash brown potatoes on it. I like the way it lets the grease run off my food. It is great for bacon, steaks, fish, potatoes with onions, etc. It also cleans up great.

the better grill, 02/28/2008

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought one of these grills about 2 yrs ago, I used it everytime i would cook lunch or dinner . I loved the easy to remove plates , you can put them in your dishwasher and they get clean. I used mine so much ,I wore it out, I'm thinking of getting another one. It's well worth the money you spend.

Hamilton Beach Indoor Grill, 02/02/2008
By elme2758
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

My husband bought this for me as a gift - I'd been wanting a George Foreman indoor grill, but decided on this instead. Some of my family members had the George Foreman grill and said that they loved it, but, we opted for the Hamilton Beach indoor grill. Immediately, I loved this - from the first time I used it. I like the fact that it seems to cook the meats more evenly than the George Foreman grill does and I also like the fact that the drip tray is secure while cooking. My daughter's George Foreman grill's drip tray is too easily knocked or accidentally moved - which causes messy clean-ups. She has used both and she too prefers my HAMILTON BEACH INDOOR GRILL. I recommend this product to anyone who loves to grill food - I use it for meats, but also for my fresh vegetables and it is one product that I use several times a week.

Great product! Almost perfect!, 01/28/2008
By SleepslateTuesday, Albany Ga.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Looks great, cooks great, grease is collected out of the way to avoid spillage and detachable plates make cleaning up easy. Only drawbacks are a 15min timer that has to be reset or unit shuts off and no variable temp control for slower cooking.

I am still adjusting to cooking with this grill. My previous grill was a Denni and was much smaller. The size of this grill is impressive and I especially like the removeable plates for cleanup, so much easier. Great product at a great price.

A very easy to use product., 01/17/2008
By CatWho, Decatur, AL
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I have purchased several of these grills, when I wear one out, I look for another one. I keep one in reserve at all times. It works wonderfully and is very easy to clean, since the grills come out. It has its own drip cup, that is contained in the side of the grill, so therefore you don't have to worry about making sure the drip cup is in the proper place. I highly recommend this product.

Easy cleanup, 01/14/2008
By lovedthegrill, Olathe, KS
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I love the Hamilton Beach grill with removable plates. The food tastes great and the clean up is easy just slide a button and the plates come out and the holder for the grease or juices also slides out you just put it in the dishwasher, then put product away until the plates are cleaned. (Now you don't have to look at a dirty grill) I used to have the indoor grill without the removable plates and didn't use it as much because it had to be hand washed which was a pain. If you like easy care you will like this grill.

Large cooking surface !, 01/09/2008
By Toysrule, Cocoa, FL
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Have used several brands of these types of products, and usually have a problem with where & how the grease drains. Our previous one had a slope to it, whereas this one doesn't. But the fact that the grill plates can be removed & washed makes up for that ! The food cooked all the way thru without getting burned or overdone on the outside ! Another plus !!! Look forward to more positive food preparations !

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We have had and used this product for three years. I don't know where we would be without it. The only reason we want a new one is because it is finally showing wear and tear. that is to be expected since we use it about every other night.
I highly recommend this over any foreman grill.

Great Grill, 12/24/2007
By Inaminute, Connecticut
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Excellent job cooking different items but you must get used to the appearance of the final result.
It does nor scorch or burn and some things like hamburgers finish differently than you might expect. Also, the cooking times in the user guide are just that - a guide. It takes some practice to get the desired finished product based upon thickness of the item as well as the desired doneness.
Other than that it works excellently - is simple to clean and easy to setup and store away.

I love this grill and the removeable plates are a extra extra plus. I owned the very same grill in a smaller version for 4 years, before replacing it with this larger one. And old one was still in great working condition. Just wanted a larger one. I recommend this grill to anyone who needs quick & simple cooking & clean up. The price can't be beat either!!! :-)

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I have only used tis grill 3 times, but at this point it appears my homework paid off. I have had a couple of foreman grills which were fine. I wanted a grill with removal grill plates that would clean up easier. I chose the H.B. for that feature and the price made it by far the best value on the market. I have read some reviews that said it was not real durable, so I am following the clean up directions closely with some TLC.
