Great grill for one with a little effort

Pros: This is a great little grill that can cook great meals for one, both veg and meat. I especially love grilling onions and mushrooms to top off a burger or steak. Leaves large trails of charred paper. Grill plates are very easy to clean, I just place a hot, damp paper towel on the grill right after unplugging it to soften the charred residue. on plates and helps with fat absorption. I use this paper towel to wipe down the plates and remove any buildup, then I use a dry paper towel to remove excess grease before wiping down the plates with a damp sponge. Cons: Very short power cord which may require an extension cord. I bought this one and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0751MP7SF The bottom plate even ends with the grill body so the grease collects between the bottom plates and the bottom of the grill. body, even if you place the back legs of the grill on a slightly elevated surface to prevent this. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE TO CLEAN and it's a huge design flaw. NO temperature control. I check my food as soon as the preheating light comes back on and also when it goes off again, and I still sometimes manage to overcook food, although I'm a better judge of how long different foods need to stay in the oven. Grill. If I don't look at things with eagle eyes, things quickly go bad. Finally, there are definitely issues with nonstick coatings, even if you don't use soap to clean them. I bought my grill in April 2021 and this month in October 2021 I noticed the coating was blistering and peeling off. Luckily, my grill was still under the one-year manufacturer's warranty and I managed to get it replaced, even though I had to pay $7.50 shipping for a new grill, which is acceptable. If the people who make and sell these grills read these reviews, I hope you will take my feedback to heart and fix the plating issues and bottom plate design flaw. I can deal with the short cord and lack of temperature control, but those two things really need to be addressed.

Pros
  • Brilliant cooking
Cons
  • Long wait
