Well, I posted a nice review on Dec. 27, 2007 after purchasing this grill. After use of 2 to 3 times per month for 9 months it's totally stone cold dead. Plugged it in the other night, no lights, no heat. I am very disappointed. I will be trying to receive a replacement because it's too late for money back. Just wanted to post an update on the product.
I would have rated with 0 stars but it would not let me change my previous star rating and would not let me post another review.
FIRST REVIEW Dec. 27, 2007:
Pros: Very easy to remove and clean the grill plates. When you replace the grill plates, they are secure. Cooks meat to perfection and makes a wonderful panini sandwich. Top locks in place, cord stores securely underneath for space saving upright storage. Clean stainless steel design.
Handle remains cool to touch.
Can be used under overhead kitchen cabinets. I have 18" from the top of my countertop to the bottom of the cabinet front and I have 1" remaining with the grill fully open.
Cons: Does not open all the way to lay flat for use as an open grill.

With its powerful 1800-watt heating system, this tabletop grill can cook food 50-percent faster than traditional grills. Its interchangeable flat plate and two ribbed plates allow home chefs to grill steaks and make pancakes. The unit also provides adjustable height control with its floating-hinge top plate, which can be adjusted to six pre-set heights. Lower settings reduce the weight pressing upon more delicate foods like fish or vegetables, while higher settings work great for making open melt sandwiches or reheating. The removable non-stick plates firmly lock into place and can be removed with the touch of a button. In addition, the unit's adjustable-tilt feature controls the angle of the grill's lower plate. The "angle" position offers reduced-fat cooking, draining fat into the drip tray, and the "flat" position functions as a griddle for cooking eggs and pancakes. Nonstick plate surfaces ensure simple food release, and the plates clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Other highlights include variable temperature control from 350 to 425 degrees F, a polished die-cast metal arm, an attractive brushed stainless-steel body, and a design that locks closed so the appliance can be stored on its side to save on space. The grill measures 16-1/4 by 16-1/4 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
