George Foreman GGR50B Indoor/Outdoor

PROS:
-Simple Setup.
-Good Heat Control.
-Large grilling area.
-Non-stick grilling surface.

CONS:

Sanyo HP-SG2

PROS:
-Nice sized grilling area which is perfect for 2 people.
-Size is not overly huge like some of the other grills.
-Non-stick grilling surface.

CONS
-Doesn’t really cook evenly. Often times, parts of a piece of meat will be virtually raw while other parts are well done.
-The grill part is coated with a non-stick material but it does get pretty dirty even if you wash it after every use. After many grillings, you have to take time to fastidiously clean with a small brush.
-Back of the grill isn’t coated so gets very stained and dark with repeated usage.
-Paint chips off the drip pan.
-Lack of a lid

Sanyo HP-SG3

PROS:
-Cleaning is a breese…just wipe down the hot grill with a wet papertowl and it looks like new.
-Non-stick grilling surface.
-Large grilling surface for lots of food – good for 3 to 4 people.

CONS:
– The rinkydink pan is a pain to dump the water after grilling.
– The heat comes from the grill itself and not from under the grill surface.
-The backside of the grill is not non-stick, so is a pain to clean up.
-Smokes a bit
-As with it’s smaller brother, there is no lid.
– 125 degree jump at the end of the dial makes it confusing to select temps between 300-425
-Uneven cooking surface with some cold spots.

West Bend 6111 Heart Smart

PROS:
-Includes a skillet area on the grill plate, so smaller grilling area but you have a side part to grill onions or bacon for your burgers.
-The grill piece is dishwasher safe.
-Comes with a cover which is delightful.

CONS:
-Cover is relatively flat so thick meats will touch the inside of the cover.
-As with most electric grills not really smokeless… depends what you are grilling.
-Not as searing hot as it should be for thicker meats.
-Somewhat involved to clean because of the small holes in grill plate – soaking in hot soapy water helps though.

Zojirushi EB-CC15

PROS:
-The highest setting works well for most grilling chores, from chicken or steak to hamburger patties, and delivers the much desired customary sear marks as it cooks foods to impeccability.
-Little to no smoke
-Nonstick cooking surface released foods with nary a stick. The resulting meals are lower in fat and healthier
-Very even cooking surface, no hot or cold spots, a big advantage over most other electric grills.
-Cleaning is wonderfully easy because of the non-stick surface. Just brush or wipe with a damp cloth and your grill is clean. The drip tray and plastic base are dishwasher safe, but also clean easily in hot, soapy water if you prefer.

CONS
-Would be nice to have a lid.
-Not possible set an precise temperature.
-The high setting proved a little too hot for grilling delicate seafood and vegetables, as well as any foods coated in a thick barbecue sauce. So make sure you leave the heat around 3/4 throttle to cook foods like this and turn them on the grill frequently to avoid charring.
-Smokes a little like the others, depending on what you are grilling.
