I bought this GeorgeForeman 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.

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 ...
Advantages: Removable hot plates for washing Disadvantages: No timer
I have owned a GeorgeForeman grill for years. I have found it very handy for cooking burgers, chicken, bacon etc. My last one I'd had for a few years and had served it's time. I had been without one for a couple of months and was really missing the grill. My husband was out one day and came back with this one. When he said you could remove the hot plates to wash them I thought it would be really tricky, but it's not. They come out with ease, drop them in a sink, give them a quick wipe over and then back on again. Much easier to keep clean than the one without the removable plates. I used to hate cleaning the old one!!
The only drawbacks I have with this one is that there is no timer which I found very useful in my old grill. Also, when it first heats up and you cook something it sizzles but then the thermostat kicks in, so ...
My daughter bought one of these for the family. It has been a brilliant buy. When we ripped out our kitchen all we had was our George Formby (sorry, family joke) and the microwave to cook with. We were still able to eat in the evenings without being reduced to take-aways (yuk). Chicken, turkey, sausages, tuna, to name just some of our meals, all grilled healthily with the fat drained off into the tray below. This machine is still giving good service to us all after plenty of use.
The grill doesn't take up too much space on the worktop and is easily cleaned after if you have remembered to oil the grill before using it.
My only criticism is the bun warmer on the top which we have never used - something of a waste of space for us but others might find it useful. ...
