I bought this George Foreman 6 person indoor grill about two months ago. I would rather say it is for 4 persons. It is quite big when you have to bring it home or you have to find place for it, but is perfect size when you grill on it.

First impressions
I saw it on Internet on www.argos.co.uk site, it was on offer for 44.99 pounds. I reserved it and went to pick it up. It was in a huge box. When I arrived home with it I opened and found that the grill is really big. I had to put some household appliances away to have enough place for it. There were the grill, a drip tray and two spatulas in the box. The grill was in one piece there was no need for assemble anything.
Features
Non stick grill and griddle: the vegetables need a little oil because otherwise they stick to the griddle. So before I spice them, I pour a little oil on them and mix them with my hand. There is no problem with meat and fish as they contain fat.
Grill's channels are for fat coming out of the meat you grill. I found that sausages contain at least 4 times more grease/fat that I could imagine. Even salmon and chicken breast contained an amazing amount. So I like these channels the fat is draining into the drip tray. I know that our food is healthier this way.
Slightly sloped in order that the fat could drain into the drip tray.
The temperature of grill and griddle can be independently varied. I found that although the dials go from 1-3, almost everything can be prepared at grade 2. Unfortunately the instruction guide is not detailed enough, so I had to experience myself. The lights indicating that the grill works are visible at daylight as well.
Quick. We were invited to a garden party and they asked to bring our grill with us. They started to grill the burgers, chicken wings, sausages on two disposable grills. There were about 20 people, we were waiting and waiting for the food. Then the landlord suggested to use our grill. In half an hour everything was ready.
Everyday use
I have a large space work-surface in our conservatory so I put the grill there. It is close to the door so the smells go out immediately and I can bring the ready food out to the garden. Usually I grill in the evenings. I can prepare the meat and the vegetables in advance, so when my husband arrives home, I just drop the food on the grill and they are ready in 5-10 minutes. It can be cleaned easily. I use only a wet sponge and I let the water drain into the drip tray. Then I use kitchen towel to dry it.
I recommend everyone who has enough space for it and likes grilled food.
Advantages: Excellent to produce healthy food , Easy to Use Disadvantages: Instruction Guide, Its Size
Bought 'our george' in May so been using it for over a month.
I did wonder if this was going to be yet another bit of electrical equipment that would never see the light of day. However, it is fantastic, so quick and easy to use, and so easy to clean.
Absolutely great, easy to use so even I can use it and I don't do the cooking, but more importantly it's so easy to clean, even when you forget to 'grease' the surfaces as advised.
It is a fairly ... ...space and/or storage. Two things to bear in mind when buying this product, firstly the size no matter where you see it - when you get it and unpack it and put it on your work surface it's big (lengthways).
The instruction guide was a little disappointing as it gives the cooking times for majority of foods but not the temperature guide. The dials go from 1-3 so you tend to have it on 3 and end up overcooking, we've found most foods only have to be ...

Advantages: Easy to wipe clean and food tastes scrumptious Disadvantages: Quite wide
...So I bought this George Foreman grill, now I did have one when they first came out, but due to use and my family growing bigger, I needed a bigger one. When I saw this one, I thought I've got to have it.
I cook most things on it, in fact I don't even use the grill on my oven now, except for the odd bit of toast. As everything cooks so quickly, much quicker than the oven grill, you can load it up with your choice of vegetable or meat and just like ... ...everyone helps thierselves while the next batch is cooking and it takes no time at all.
Also I think it looks quite stylish, and modern looking. It easy to clean as well. You have the drip trays at the front which catch the fat, you won't believe what comes out of your meat, and you will have to empty this if cooking lots of meat, it fills up quickly, which is good, as it's not going into you. So the only bits of washing up are really the drip tray ...

Quick review of George Foreman 11761
Excellent for cooking a wide variety of foods, especially a healthy fry up! But a bit of a nightmare to clean, a good tip is to clean it when it is warm. ...

Advantages: Healthier and easy to use Disadvantages: None
Having recently purchased a George Foreman 11761 grill, I had my doubts, but have been really suprised. This is the way to healthy eating, the amount of fat that comes out of some of the food we eat is amazing.
The food keeps its flavour in fact I think it tastes better, Eggs have a completely different taste, you need to get the eggs rings for cooking to keep the eggs from spreading all over the hotplate and you can cook a wide range of foods on ...
