I got this grill about a week ago and I love it. First of all the cooking area is BIG.. and wonderful so that you can really cook. I also love how you can adjust the heat setting depending on what you are cooking instead of like my former George where it was 1 temp was supposed to cook all ( which burnt the outside of thick pieces of meat and chicken breast and left the inside way underdone)I also love how the fat drips down immediatly into the tray. On my George ( a big one) the fat would come sort of off one burger and then run into the other burger and stay there without ever going into the tray thing. Clean up is alot easier than George because I can stick all of it except the temp control into the sink or dishwasher to wash. I also like the lid that keeps the food from drying out while cooking and warm before it is served. I will admit it is not as fast as George but honestly the quality of food I cook is so much better b/c it has been cooked right and not just fast. This grill IMO is much more similar to cooking on an outside grill and the taste is better for it. I highly reccomed this product over it’s competition, there is no comparrison! Move over George, YOU GO GRILL!

I am very satisfied with this grill; I have also given it as a gift to a relative who also loves it and uses it frequently.
Some of the problems described here (not hot enough, etc.), in my opinion, stem from improper use. Like any grill, you have to let it warm up, before plopping quarter pound hamburgers on it. My daughter over-cooked chicken breasts on it(they looked great (grill lines, etc.) but they were dry)–so the comments here about the heating element not working are simply not true.
I love the glass top that contains spattering; I also line the bottom of the grill (when cooking) with aluminum foil to make clean up easier. The grill itself is something of a pain to clean, but I put mine in the dishwasher and it comes out great.
This grill performs very well, but you have to allow sufficient time for the heating element to get the grill hot and choose the correct heat settings in connection with what you are cooking–not exactly rocket science, but judging from the reviews here, some people obviously find this challenging.

Purchased this grill just after Xmas 2011. Used it for the first time last night and could not be more thrilled!! Marinated some chicken breasts in pineapple teriyaki overnight and just threw them on. They were absolutely delicious and everyone raved about them! Beautiful grill marks and carmelization of the marinade.
Manual says to pre-heat on high for 10 mins but my experience is that the pre-heat light goes off after about 6. Food does not stick at all (pre-oiled with (olive) oil as suggested in the manual) and cleanup was a breeze, even with a sticky marinade. Cleaned the grill and then cooked zucchini slices marinaded in balsamic and olive oil. Also delicious, and no transfer of teriyaki flavor from the chicken.
My oven, stove and bbq are going to be getting far less use. Seriously, one of the best appliances I have purchased ever. STRONGLY recommend.
