We still have an old George Foreman that we love. it is great in so many ways, but the older versions do get dirty over time , even if you wipe it EVERY time it never gets completely clean! We decided to give the new version a try let me tell you, THIS ONE IS AWESOME! I highly recommend this size unit. This is the perfect size you could probably get 2 very large burgers on this, or 4 slider/smaller burgers. We use it with large Texas toast for grilled cheese sandwiches & it's perfect for one LARGE sandwich& ham paninis! You could definitely fit 2 'regular size' square-bread sandwiches inside this press. The George Foreman submersible grill heats/grills very evenly across top & bottom surface AND it's SO easy to clean. You easily remove the control panel and the entire grill is then dishwasher safe!!!  If your kids have chores they can even hand wash the grill in the sink with other dishes.
