One foodie magazine and recommends the George Foreman Family Size Plus GR26, finding that although it browns somewhat unevenly, it is a good value with an 81-square-inch cooking surface and a stay-cool exterior. The George Foreman GR26 can also be used to press sandwiches but it doesn't have an adjustable hinge like the Cuisinart Griddler GR-4 (*Est. $140), making it hard to grill thicker sandwiches evenly. The George Foreman GR26 also lacks removable grill plates, which, some consumers report, makes the grill difficult to clean.

A professional review of the George Foreman Family Size Plus GR26 grill is available at one foodie magazine, where editors tested it against six other indoor electric grills. Editors tend to be thorough in their testing and puts grills through their paces in a variety of cooking tasks. Consumer reviews at Amazon.com and Epinions.com give additional perspectives.
