Let me start by saying that I have always been a George Foreman customer. But this Contact Submersible Grill preheats and cooks faster than any of the original grills I've had in the past. The plates are made with the Advanced George Tough Nonstick coating which makes them super durable. And cleaning up is such a breeze too! Just take off the control panel and add the rest to your dishwasher or sink and thats it! It also cooks up to 4 servings, which is very convenient! If you are looking for a good grill that gets your food done faster, then i would definitely recommend this one.
