I recieved the George Forman Indoor/Outdoor 12+ Serving Rectangular Electric Grill a couple weeks ago, and have used it several times. Overall I like it a lot. It cooks very evenly. I have had several grills/griddles and they usually seem to cook faster on the side the plug is on, but this one cooks evenly. It was very easy to put together, and the top comes off easily to be able to cook on the counter or to clean it. It cleans off very easily. Even with burnt on BBQ sauce, it easily wipes right off. I was a little disappointed because it says for indoor use, but the condensation on the lid drips on the floor. I haven't cooked for a large group,  but I question the 12+. I fit about 15 bratwurst and hotdogs on it, but when making burgers I don't think it would hold enough for 12. It did hold a full rack of ribs. It is good for my family of 5, but would probably take a while to cook for a large group.
