Perfect for bacon and eggsI hate cleaning my glass top stove. Bacon splatters and so this is the answer. I use flat bottom to perfectly fry bacon on highest temp with top closed. Turn once or twice. Over easy eggs without flipping. Cook till clear part turns white, close lid for 60 seconds and over easy eggs are easy! Melt butter then toast a perfect grill cheese. Wipes clean in seconds!

Beware of driptray problemSo I am not a person who writes bad reviews about a product, but this is a common situation. Some reviews on here are also experiencing the same exact problem. The grill itself is pretty well made (except for the driptray). It cooks my bacon & hamburgers really well. Fast forward to 3 uses and sure enough the drip tray produced a crack that leaves bacon people like me with a solid greasy mess. I use thick bacon & make 2-3 pounds on weekends. Imagine the total grease.So, I call Hamilton and the grease tray is not in stock. So their idea is to send me a new one. Just cut the cord off & throw away. Weird I know, but that’s what happens. So, I get the new grill. Forward a couple more uses and lo & behold…the same problem occurs. The drip tray is still not in stock, but I see a pattern emerging.I’m flabbergasted by a company who, when you tell them to remake the drip tray, will not do the right thing. Obviously there is a major flaw in this product & should be an easy fix. Instead, they want to send customers a new one. The grill itself is perfectly fine. The plastic is so brittle & all they need is to replace it with that materiel (I forget what it is called) that looks like plastic, but can withstand a beating. Either that or make it out of stainless steel. Probably cost $20 at most and now make it in bulk, maybe $10. The replacement plastic POS on their website is less than $7.Just be aware that if you want to constantly be fixing your drip tray, than this is the one for you. Shame on Hamilton for not making this right & Amazon should pull these, along with Hamilton making a recall until the thing is fixed.UPDATE:So I call Hamilton Beach over the phone. I put in a complaint in January 21, 2021 about the drip tray problem. I cannot speak with any person above the regular phone person who can do nothing power-wise. So I also send an email. Their suggestion is to purchase their always out of stock drip tray on their website. Maybe it’s always out-of-stock, because the drip tray is junk. So, my only option is to complain, but never get any results. So again I wouldn’t recommend it now, since their customer service department is useless and it shows. I own other products and they haven’t broke on me, but this is one product I wouldn’t recommend now.

Could have been great… wasn’t.So I bought this to replace two other appliances that I use. I’m trying to reduce the amount of junk in my space. First, I’ll talk about the things that are good about this appliance. It has a nice, big cooking area, even in its “folded” state. Big enough for four of those hamburger patties you buy from Wally-world, or four fried eggs (per side… fold it flat, and you could make 8 eggs at a time. That’s a lot of eggs!)It does heat up fairly quickly… mine gets to 375 in just under 6 minutes. It is pretty easy to clean, but then, the nonstick coating is still new on mine. We’ll see how it holds up.Now, the places where it fell just a little short of the mark:First, the cooking plates are a bit finicky to install. You have to get them seated just right before you press down to lock them into place. It’s not really difficult, just fiddly enough to be annoying. Taking them out is no problem: press the button, and they’re popped up, ready for removal.Despite the cooking plates’ size, you’ll want to use a smaller spatula to deal with your food… or silicon-coated tongs. There is a lip that runs around the edge of the plate, and it makes getting a big spatula under the food somewhat difficult.Next, this thing is big. Really big. Like vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly… whoops. No, it’s not going to take over your kitchen, but you’d best have about a foot and a half of counter space available to set this on, if you want any clearance around it at all. And this is the really nasty problem: This thing sucks up space like you wouldn’t believe, because *it wasn’t designed to be stored*. That’s right, there is no good way to put this thing away other than sitting flat on a surface as if you were going to cook with it. There is no latch to hold it closed for storage, and while you CAN stand it upright on its back side, it’s not stable doing so, so you’d better have it securely propped up on either side in the cupboard.So, you think, well, annoying, but I’ll use it a lot, so I’ll just leave it sitting on the counter, ready to go whenever I need it… but… NO. This thing has what I consider a MASSIVE safety flaw. THERE IS NO OFF SWITCH. With any other appliance I’ve ever seen with a temperature control, if you turn it all the way down, that is considered OFF. Not with this machine. The thermostat dial only goes down to 250… and they mean it. It will continue to heat up if you leave it plugged in. You HAVE TO unplug this to turn it off. So… it wasn’t designed to be stored, and it wasn’t designed to sit ready for use… I just don’t know what they were actually thinking when they built this thing.I was willing to give it 4 stars for the storage problem. I mean, that’s annoying, but not earth-shattering. But I consider the lack of an OFF to be a huge safety violation, and I took off an entire star just for that.I would also have liked this thing to come with a waffle iron plate… or at least the option to add one, along with some other potential options… but Hamilton Beach offers no accessories to upgrade this unit. This is annoying, but I didn’t count off for it, because I already knew that when I bought it. Do be aware, in case it isn’t obvious from the pictures, there is only ONE “grill” plate (the one with the ridges.) The top plate is always the flat griddle-style plate. If you want grill marks on your burgers, you’re gonna have to flip them.The unit seems to work fine, as far as cooking goes. Don’t try to make grilled cheese panini-style, though. You’ll end up with grilled cheese pancakes. 🙂

Sleek LookingThe only thing not to like is the fact that you have to plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. Really could use an on/off button

Great grillI’ve had the same grill for about 30 years. Finally gave up the ghost. Bought this to replace it. Part of my complaint (not really a complaint) is simply the size difference between this grill and my old one. This grill is quite large/thick. It stands very tall. I store it in a cabinet when not in use and it is quite hefty and bulky.But….it functions great. I mostly use it for pancakes-used flat with both flat grills. It heats quickly and evenly. I also grill sandwiches with thick crusty bread. I like that the hinge is flexible and will rock slightly to accommodate the thickness of the sandwich. It has a marked (in degrees F) temperature control I like too. I haven’t used it for bacon, but it has a ridged grill tray for bacon with a drip pan to catch the grease. It’s super easy to wipe clean. It does everything I need it to do.

Good grill, short cord..I compared this to a George Forman grill that was “ok”. I hoped for something better than G Forman offered for far too much $. As far as indoor grills, I really like the overall concept of the Hamilton Beach 4 in 1 multi grill. Being able to use both sides at once is the reason i bought it. I really like the push button release of the plates, instead of tabs. The plates are secure when in use, and don’t fall off when you open the grill. The temperature controls are easy to use, specifying the optimal setting for bacon. I’ve used the grill once, and was pretty satisfied. The only complaint I have is the cord. Its WAY too short to allow me to use both sides at once, and I’m leary about using an extention cord. I recommend this product, but make sure you have a lot of room to use both sides, with a dedicated outlet very close by, before buying.

Cut my fingers cleaning bottom drain holeThis unit could so easily be perfected – but alas, it is what it is. The unit worked fine, although I use it on the top temperature setting as it doesn’t seem hot enough otherwise. The plates would be great if they were not covered in some sort of powder coating on the bottom sides – it is still coming off in my hands when I wipe the plates after coming out of the dishwasher – a couple months now of weekly use. The drip tray is great as it is large and can easily handle grease from one pound of bacon at a time. It is far easier to pour the grease into a container for disposal than my old foreman grill tray. The big downside to me was I got a good gash on my finger when I flipped the unit over to the clean the bottom side drain slot as it gets coated in grease after multiple uses. I stuck my finger in with a cleaning cloth and felt a very sharp piece of sheet metal that gashed me. I won’t be doing that without thinking next time – so be careful if you have this unit. If they fixed this and the powder coat or whatever they color the bottom of the plates gray with, then I think it would be an excellent unit. I like that it is easy to turn up and down from flat to tilted – my foreman was a hassle when the tray was full of grease but it is easy to do with this unit.
