First, let me state I didn't buy this grill from Amazon. Second, I almost ordered this product until I saw the name of the manufacturer (Salton) ... another Aroma Grill. Gee, I got mine a year ago. It came in 20 parts, I glued them back together. The seller and Salton would do nothing about it! Well, since then, let me put it this way ... the teflon wore out to bare metal on about half the grill in 3 months. Even when the teflon was intact, things stuck, to the point that half a steak was left on the grill one night. A night's worth of soaking didn't even lift it. Yes, I did everything according to the directions, however this grill has never worked for me. Ok, so now it's George Foreman's grill ... I bought it as Aroma Grill, and I'm definitely not taking another chance. Once the name Salton is applied, I know it is inferior ... just one widower's opinion.
