| Customer Reviews: Not perfect - but it's alright June 9, 2010 D.Mac (KY United States) I was searching for a replacement for my old unit from a different manufacturer that I had loved but is no longer made, and had several requirements:
1. Removable plates
2. An interior drip pan
3. A "floating" top that would allow for even cooking when food is thicker on one end.
4. An adjustable temperature (more than just high/low).
5. A decent sized cooking area.
It is somewhat surprising to me how difficult finding all these on the same unit can be, and this tri-grill does deliver and performs well on each of these items, so for that I'd give it five stars. The reason for me only rating it three is below:
After reading the other reviews here, I was a little nervous about ordering because of the possibility of poor quality. You can imagine my thoughts when I opened the box and out falls a screw! Fortunately, the screw was to hold the lid onto the handle and I was able to reassemble. The other side was very loose too, so I do believe that it can be assumed that these grills are not well built. I cannot help but wonder what is loose on the inside that I don't know about, even though it seems to be working fine. While not totally cheap, the materials do seem slightly on the flimsy side compared to some higher end models, but I think they are acceptable for a $99 price. The exception is the grill plates which I think are very nice and even sturdier than my much loved previous grill.
The grill is attractive, but it is a bit clunky/bulky in size because of the extra griddle plate storage. Its a great idea, but now that I own it, I personally would prefer to have a sleeker unit and have to store the extra plate elsewhere. I also wish the cord was just a little bit longer. The gauges are difficult to read when standing at the counter, I have to bend over and get closer to eye level with it to set. I also wish the gauges had more markings, but that is not a big deal.
Overall, I am happy with the tri-grill. With exception of quality concerns, my complaints with the grill are relatively minor. For me, it isn't going to become my favorite appliance because these complaints are annoyances, but its acceptable and does a very good job at its intended function - it does grill well (leaves nice grill marks on the food too).
Fantastic Grill!! April 11, 2010 D. Evans (Pennsylvania, USA) Prior to the Wolfgang Puck Grill we had the Cuisinart Panini Grill and actually we had two of them. This one outshines the Cuisinart totally. It is better quality and overall it is just a better grill. It does not spit grease all over and is very easy to clean. It does not shift all over the counter when you are using it. I have not made paninis yet but I have used it as a grill and it is very fast. Once preheated it will cook a boneless chicken breast in 5 minutes. I would suggest getting this grill in a heartbeat. The price is very good as well and well worth it. It is fairly new in our house but I have high hopes for long use due to the great quality of this product.
Oh Yea!! January 17, 2010 Kenneth R. Kluge Don't hesitate....Buy it now! Easy Clean-up. I replaced my trusty old Forman grill with this appliance. Plenty of surface area. I cook two 2/3rd pound hamburger steaks at a time on it.Close the lid down and they are done in approx 6min. The plates and drip pan go in the dishwasher. You wipe down the exterior with a paper towel and windex. Done!....... For the Money, it is an incredible deal compared to other grills that are out there. Some people can find something wrong with anything...but for the money you get professional Panini's, and a great indoor grill.
More cons than pros October 17, 2009 wvuguy (West Chester OH) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Pros -- Cooks beautifully (though I've personally only done sandwiches thus far).....certainly not a professional appliance, but not cheaply-made either
Cons -- Bulky/larger than it appears in pictures.....difficult to read controls.....exterior surfaces get EXTREMELY hot (keep kids WELL clear of this thing while in operation AND afterwards during the cool down cycle).....size makes it comparatively difficult to store
Since I admittedly purchased this unit refurbished at a clearance/closeout price (well under half of brand new), I'm FAR more willing to deal with its fairly numerous negatives in return for its good-excellent cooking performance (and little else).
At a typical retail well over $100, I might be less willing to do so. OTOH, I'd almost assuredly never spend THAT kind of money on this purely discretionary appliance that virtually nobody (including myself) REALLY needs in the first place.
