 What a pleasant surprise! December 10, 2005

I received this as a gift. I never dreamed I would love it as I do. Just load it and set the timer. When the time is up you will have perfect results every time, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The trick to cleaning is to line the drip tray with foil and soak the skewer parts in warm water for a few minutes and they will clean easily. I will be buying one this year to give as a gift.
Love it! November 9, 2005

I purchased this on super sale at a local store and have used both pieces and have been very satisfied. The rotisserie cooked a five lb chicken in 1 1/2 hours as promised. I took the chicken out and had a knife in hand to serve the chicken, however I grabbed the leg and it just fell off. The whole family loved it. I did not find the clean-up to be that dreadful; simply take out the parts and throw them in a sink of soapy water. Wipe them clean 10 minutes later.
The grill has also worked well as promised. All in all, I was amazed at what I got for the money. Thanks George Foreman!
 cleaning is a hassle August 14, 2005

The price : No complaint, especially the price I paid for last Christmas (2004), 30% less than normal selling price.
The Grill : BBQ is easy and the cooking is faster, so much faster than a charcoal grill.
The Rotisserie : crispy and tasty. My husband loves to make rotisserie or roast pork, and believe it or not, it is excellent.
The cleaning : We both hate it. The cleaning is really a hassle, it is so difficult and it takes so much time, especially the rotisserie. We only used the rotisserie three times since we bought it because none of us wants to do the clean up.

I give this 3 stars since I have to rate both items together.
First - the grill is wonderful - perfect for 2 people and guest. We use it for our RV. The grill gets 5 Stars.
The rotisserie is not as good. I give it 1 Star. First, it's hard to clean after greese and sauces spaters on it. Second, it doesn't hold a whole chicken of average size - maybe a cornish hen. I bought it for my RV so I could have rotisserie chicken like I do at home.
Not bad for the price but not great either... January 26, 2005

The problem with the Rotisserie is that it's a colossal pain to clean up all the splattered grease afterwards, despite the usual BS marketing claim of being "easy to clean." Also this Rotisserie just plugs into a usual 110v outlet, which means it's pretty underpowered. Particularly for cooking big things like whole chickens, the cooking times in the included cookbook are quite optimistic, I'd add at least 50% to them unless you like your meat pink and bloody.
Most grocery stores where I live sell a whole slow-roasted chicken made on their professional rotesserie for five to six dollars; why would anyone want to bother with making this at home? There is really very little savings, and a lot more headache: cleaning up the thing, dishes, buying the chicken and preparing it, etc.
My sister kept hers only because she's allergic to the spices that the grocery delis use in their chicken.
As for the grill, check out my review of the older "Champ" grill. Sure they've improved the design a little with a few extra features but it's basically the same thing, with the pros and cons that I described.
Conclusion: take all the wild advertising claims with many many grains of salt. No, neither one is "easy to clean" nor can they equal the delicious browned and crunchy quality you get with an oven or a barbecue pit. All those mouth-watering photos on the box and cookbook? Darling, all these companies whether it's GF or McDonalds, PAY "food engineers" to come and make food look that good for the cameras!!!
These are not horrible products, just keep your expectations low and you'll be OK.
