We LOVE this grill!!!

I had another grill for some time that finally died, so bought a smaller one as a replacement because it was on clearance for $15. It didn't last two months! So I decided I should find the grill I really wanted for our large family. We have five children at home, ages 6-14. I had researched another Hamilton Beach grill that had removable grids. The grids could also be flipped to the smooth side to cook pancakes, etc. However, it did not get good reviews for longevity. The price was about $80.

I was in a large Wal-Mart SuperCenter with time to spare, so thought I'd check out the new models of indoor grills. The Hamilton Beach HealthSmart 25325 looked like one I would like, so I bought it, thinking I'd check it out on Epinions before taking it out of the box. Well, I didn't have time to do that for a few days and we wound up taking it out and using it. WOW! We loved it at first use!

It is so easy to use the kids can use it. The timer keeps you from forgetting that you are cooking something. Lots of times we will throw the last of the food on to cook as we sit down to eat. Invariably we forget it is still cooking until it starts burning.

The grill plates are so easy to clean. Just open the grill and allow them to cool. I usually brush off large pieces of food residue and then just place the plates in the dishwasher.

I like that the grease trap is on the side of the grill rather than the front. It stays where it belongs and doesn't make a mess. It easily pulls out to go in the sink or dishwasher for cleaning.

If you are cooking for a large crowd, the grill opens flat and gives you double the surface area to cook on. Of course, you will have to flip your food as it is cooking.

We used the grill for a couple of weeks before finally reading the instructions and finding out about the cord storage and how to make the grill be flat. LOL

The grill is supposed to be able to be stored upright, but it actually leans a little. Our grill hasn't had a chance to go into storage since we bought it. We are using it every couple of days.

This grill makes lots of food items taste great. I even like hot dogs cooked on it, and I am not very fond of them cooked any other way. For grilled veggies, just brush with butter and sprinkle seasonings on. Couldn't be any easier!

I bought my grill for about $42. Well spent money!
