The Waring Pro Grill and Griddle makes multifunctional an understatement! It can make perfect Panini plus lots more. With four separate cooking options, it handles everything from pancakes to sausages to grilled cheese to steaks to hamburgers to Panini. It helps you prepare more servings of more kinds of food in less time so you can cook for a crowd--no one has to wait. Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the floating hinge to use it as a contact grill, a Panini press, or your choice of...

1. Move over George...
I never owned an indoor grill made by Ronco or George F so I won't be comparing the Waring to anything else. This review is based upon an inspection of the parts and the cooking of several foods.
Waring makes professional products so they know what quality is. Don't let the word "Pro" fool you into thinking this is a restaurant-quality commercial product -- It isn't but the quality is very good. My initial observations:
* The grill is heavy-duty enough for home kitchen use. The body is metal, the controls have a quality feel, the heating elements are thick and the grilling surfaces seem pretty good.
* It takes a while to heat-up but once it does it cooks at a consistent rate.
* The free-floating top grill doesn't really float so you have to free-it-up manually. Keep in mind that the grill plates are really hot and extend outside of the body so a pot holder is in order.
* There are two sets of grill plates: one set with ridges and one set that...
2. Purchased January 2010
This is the first counter-top indoor grill I have owned. My husband purchased a Geo. Foreman for Christmas but this one seemed to have better ratings and was priced $20 cheaper with Free Shipping so we decided to try. I don't have much to compare to since it's the first one I've owned. Seems fairly easy to use. Grids are easy to take out to clean. One drawback is that since the top lid rests on top of the meat if you are cooking meat that is more than 1/4" thick the grease splatters out around the edges and leaves a mess all over the countertop. The little plastic cups that are provided to catch the grease are cheesy. I don't see myself using this on a regular basis. Using as a griddle it's OK but a little small even for 2 people.

Great grill
I paid $79.99 in 12/09 and have been very pleased so far. The grill heats quickly and when ready provides even heat distribution. The food cooks and looks great. I especially like the burgers that are crusty on the outside and juicy inside. I scrape the plates, while still warm, with the plastic scraper that comes with the grill and when cool put them in the dishwasher and they clean up well. The plates are very easy to take off and put on.
