George Foreman GP100SIL Wheel & Grill

With legs attached, the grill measures 38 inches high to top of the lid, 28 inches wide, and 17-1/2 inches deep. With the legs removed and snapped into their rack and the transport handle firmly snapped into place over the lid, the grill is ready for storage, measuring just 13-1/2 inches high, 25 inches wide, and 17-1/2 inches deep when lying flat. (It can also be stored on end.) For transport, the handle swings off the top and out, locks into place, and pulls the grill on its built-in wheels like a piece of luggage. Assembly is less complicated than the instruction booklet makes it appear and requires just one Phillips head screw (which is included) to be tightened. --Fred Brack

The tank is very easy to hook up and the heat adjustment works fine. My only complaint is even at the lowest heat range, I think it's still too hot.

The best thing about the grill is that it packs up into a tight piece that you can store. When you get to your camp site, you can roll it around using a handle and the wheels, but the thing is so light, I just hand carry it. It's a great all around grill. The only thing I miss are the lighter fluid fumes.

Before I got my George Foreman Portable Propane Gas Grill, I read about it and figured with all the raves, reviews, and feast of features, it must be too good to be true. I was in for a surprise.

Being used to gigantic charcoal (and later gas) tubs, upon my GF Grill's arrival my first impression was, "That's it?!" Even though it's remarkably compact (especially when in "travel" mode) and light (just over 20-lbs), it's built of durable materials and is very sturdy. It takes about 30 mintues of initial out-of-the-box assembly and once you get the hang of it, less than 5 minutes from travel/storage mode to fire-up. The propane burner then takes about 7 minutes to fully heat the grill plate, so you can be grilling in under 15 minutes total. No more excuses about waiting for the grill to heat up!

The lid is designed with 2 flew (exhaust) settings - juicy and juicier! The first summer with my GF Grill saw chicken, beef, and veggie kabobs, steak, beef and turkey burgers, and salmon, all with surprisingly tasty results. I'm not your weather-beaten grill guy, and try as I might, my GF Grill wouldn't let me ruin anything! ha! The manual comes with sugguested cooking times for various foods and they worked like a charm.

The heat plate design is superior to the traditional grill grate for a couple reasons: 1) While it's famous for channelling away fat for lean grilling, it doesn't allow all your meat's natural moisture and juices to be lost to the charcoal/heating element, thereby promoting juicier burgers, steaks, etc...; and 2) It makes cleanup a snap. Gone are the days of that nasty, messy grill bristle brush. The GF Grill plate can be cleaned up with a regular wash rag in your kitchen sink in about 5 minutes (depending on the extent of your use).

While many products claim to be portable, the GF Grill lives up to the title. In travel mode, this grill turns out to be about the size and weight of moderate carry-on luggage, easily fitting into the trunk of any car. Its wise use of 1-lb propane tanks (easily and cheaply purchased at most department/home improvement stores) frees the owner up from lugging around gigantic propane kegs or huge, messy bags of charcoal.

You're going to be hard-pressed to find a more economical, portable, easy-to-use grill that produces such consistently excellent results. The George Foreman Portable Propane Gas Grill comes highly recommended for those seeking an inexpensive, clean, and easy way to break into good grilling. Needless to say, I'm thrilled with my grill.

I give this product a low rating because of the price. I was in a Target store and this very same grill was selling for $39.00. The normal price was listed as $49.00. This grill does work good. But loses that real grilled taste.
