George Foreman on its last legs... which one would you recommend to take its place?

[SuzySheepSmellsNice]

I've had the little white one since 2006 but after years of scrubbing the fat and residues from the plates after cooking sausages etc, the non-stick coating is coming off... I want to get one with removable plates, which one is the best? :)

This thread is very old now, but we’ve recently updated our best George Foreman grill page with a shortlist of the grills Mumsnet users love, including ones with removable plates for easy cleaning. We hope it’s helpful.

I don't know which is best but i have the white one too and i want the big one with removable plates. I think it looks really good and would be loads easier to clean. I almost want mine to die so i can replaceiit now!

:) Mine has been nudged towards death through excessive use of Lidls multisurface wipes whilst cleaning... I really want a new one!

I started with the old style white GF grill it lasted me years until I knocked it off the bench and smashed it :( I replaced it with a larger black one GF again and it lasted 2 weeks before I did the same thing :( I thought it was a much lighter construction and wasn't sure if I was too impressed with it but didn't have it long enough to make any real judgements.

In a hurry I replaced it with another GF on sale, down to £30 in Makro same as this www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4230670.htm and again it was lighter than the original one but I find it does the job fine, easy to clean (plates aren't removable) I do it while still hot (using wet kitchen towel laid on it) and there is no real sign of wear in well over a year. I would love one of the more expensive ones but just can't justify buying another one until this one takes a nose dive off the bench ;)

I've got one with removable plates, it's maybe 4 years old but much prefer it to my old one as u can stick the plates in the dishwasher

Thanks all... I think I'm going to bite the bullet and use my Tesco Clubcard vouchers that I'd been saving for a rainy day :)
