Topped by a bun warmer with a transparent lid, this Champ is a variant of the popular George Foreman Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine. The electric appliance's appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience--not to mention its fat-fighting ability. The double-sided grill (a 6-by-7-inch nonstick cooking surface) cooks burgers, steaks, chicken, sausage, fish, shrimp, and vegetables top and bottom in minutes. (Recipes accompany the grill.) Grill marks not only look appetizing, they contribute caramelized flavor. The bottom grill's deep grooves collect fat, and the grill is sloped so the fat runs off into a dishwasher-safe plastic tray stationed under the unit's front.
The nonstick bun warmer draws heat from the grill and can be used while food is grilling or by itself. (The entire unit, grill and bun warmer, turns on by plugging in the power cord.) The warmer heats a burger's bun as well as other bread items, including English muffins, tortillas, pita bread, sliced bagels, and croissants. Because the grill is nonstick, cleanup is a snap: just a quick scrape with a plastic spatula (included) and a quick wipe with a paper towel or a sponge. --Fred Brack

I use it almost daily!:
Love this. Didn't think I'd use it much, as I'm vegetarian, but I use it almost daily. Great for veggies, veggie burgers, etc. Quick and easy. Great if you don't want to spend a lot of time cooking.
Excellent, but....:
Have always wanted to try one, and finally gave in and ordered it.
Two complaints:
One, cleaning is not so easy, as the plates are not removable, but it isn't too bad either, so not a stopping point.
Second, for me, it is too small. For a single person, maybe it is ok, but for my daughter and I, it just doesn't hold enough. In summary, do I like it, yes, definately, but I will soon be replacing it with one that is larger. ken
HANDICAPPED BUN WARMER:
I TRIED THE BUN WARMER; IT WAS A TOTAL FAILURE BY MY STANDARDS! THE WAY TO IMPROVE THIS GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL WOULD BE TO MAKE A FEW HOLES THROUGH THE METAL SO THE STEAM FROM THE PRODUCT BEING COOKED COULD ACTUALLY GO SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN HORIZONTALLY! THE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ARE: TO MAKE THE BOTTOM HEAVIER (SO IT'S LESS LIKELY TO MOVE DURING THE COOKING PROCESS); HAVE AN EASY WAY TO ATTACH THE "GREASE/MOISTURE CATCHER;" AND, A STURDIER CATCH FOR THE BUN WARMING SECTION WOULD MAKE THE... more info
Excellent for making homemade sandwiches quick and easy:
Having this grill makes cooking a simpler task especially early in the morning when you're running late for work and trying to have an healthy breakfast. I first began using this product when my roommate purchased it and I loved it so much, that when he left, I decided to purchase one for myself. It is so easy to make healthy sandwiches, that it is one of the easiest part of preparing breakfast and the best part is that it takes just 3-4 minutes. It is my recommendation buy one of these grills and make... more info
