A good, solid grill
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. ... Read More
Move over George
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
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
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
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.
