This review will be short and sweet. This is a well-built, very effective cooking machine that works perfectly. I wanted to avoid using a gas or charcoal grill, and definitely was not interested in the cheap imitations endorsed by the former heavy weight boxing champ. Sorry, George, but that is the truth of the matter. It cooks like a champ. Burgers are cooked in 5 minutes, steaks in 7 minutes and anything thicker in less than 9 minutes. It is well worth the investment. Works like a charm.
