bit-tech Shopping: George Foreman GRP90WGR G5 Grill with 5 Interchangeable Plates

Rating: 10

Time with product: 5 Weeks

Strengths: Interchangeable plates that are dishwasher safe

Weaknesses: Handle is quite tall and only available in red

Summary: This multi-purpose appliance is great. I have replaced 3 other appliances with this one! Talk about saving space. I have made panini on it and done quite a bit of indoor grilling. I love the versatility and ease of cleaning. Unlike my previous indoor grill, food doesn't stick to the non-stick surface. That sounds like a no brainer, but food did stick to the other one that I had. It would have been nice to have had two flat griddle trays, but it doesn't effect the ease of cooking. I just had to flip my panini to brown the other side. Bacon turns out great without being greasy. No more messy microwave cooking of bacon. If you like multi purpose items and space savers then search no more. The G5 has it all.

Summary: This was a gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They are crazy about the G5. Have tried the different cooking surfaces and enjoy them all. My son really enjoys playing with the waffle making plates. It looks good on the counter, too. Haven't had it long, but zero complaints so far.
