Question: Dose this grill have a floating hinge?
Document: Not really sure of the negative reviews except human error. I have used my grill almost daily for 3 years without any problems. As for the "flimsy Feel" that some people have written; I believe that's the "floating hinge" already described with the unit. My advice is to make sure the plates are secure before heating up the unit. Once again - HUMAN ERROR! Also, PLEASE allow the preheat to finish before cooking. It's a great grill and very reliable.
America's #1 contact grill got a next generation re-design and it's fantastic! I bought this to replace my huge (133") white foreman grill I had for about 2 yrs. that worked fine, but kept making clicking/popping noises which to me was annoying. The new one however does not, it's very quiet. First, it's smaller than my old one @ 96" but also saves some counter space. The apperance is sleek-- silver metallic finish w/ black accents. It has a floating hinge to accomodate thicker foods.
This Forman is solidly in the &#34;OK&#34; column. I got it to replace my old one which was smaller, didn't have removable plates and the finish was wearing off the plates (it was pretty old). I thought this bigger one with more control options would be decidedly better, but I just don't like it as much. The old one had an extending hinge that you could prop up so when you grill something really thick it doesn't squish out the front or only cook, like, the back half of the thing.
As others have noted, the first two grills arrived damaged with the lids completely smashed. The third was packaged properly so it arrived intact. Nevertheless there was a problem. After two or three uses I found that the top grill plate just falls off when you open the lid (it's hot so don't let the kids near this appliance). No matter how much time I take to secure it when the lid is lifted the plate will fall off. Also, as others have noted grease builds up in the hinge area joining the base and the top.
I can drop them both in a sink with hot soapy water and let them soak, and just brush them clean with a nylon brush. If you get to them quickly after cooking, probably all you need is some running water, soap and a sponge. It's a huge improvement for cleaning, and well worth the trade-off of somewhat uneven heating.FOOD SIZE: beware the thickest steaks and the thinnest burgersThe "sliding hinge" on this grill seems to be a little limited. On thick steaks over 1", the grill doesn't seem to get quite "wide" enough to give even heat; on very thin items (somewhere around 1/4", the plates seem to far apart to heat properly.
Other reviewers mentioned the plastic bottom melting. I guess I was lucky.It always took extra time and care to get the plates installed correctly and to make sure they weren't still loose.The drip-catch pan is simply a narrow rectangular container that sits on the counter, under the lower lip of the grill.The steaks tended to slide down because of the slightly too-steep angle of the bottom plate.Sometimes the food seemed to have been steamed instead of grilled.Steam escaped from the back of the grill and would drizzle down into the hinge area; if you don't notice that it won't get cleaned.I personally found the top of the grill difficult to grasp to open it, and the bottom of the grill lacked the necessary weight to keep it stable on the table.My advice:I would recommend seriously considering the Hamilton Beach 25325 MealMaker Express Contact Grill instead of this George Foreman model.
You might ask what would happen after a few months. I never got to find out- read on-- As the springs get weaker it becomes a greater task to get them to stay in place. If you fail to line it up just perfect the hot grills will "fall off" while you are cooking. You must be real careful to check that they are locked in a very specific position, or else...2) The claim it is a floating 1" grill is a joke. If you grill two 1/4" steaks (yeah right) it might be fine.
It looks great on my couter.I feel I have to give a couple of cons after all the pros, but these should not keep you from buying it. They aren't that big of a deal.1. The top is heavy because of course it is bigger. It takes a bit of getting used to since it feels a little wobbly with the hinge. Not a big deal once you get used to it.2. The first time I used it, it gave off a little smoke and a very weird smell.
I have the original George Foreman from years ago but wanted to get a larger version for my wife. The GRP99 is not built near as well as the grills from the past. The hinge is extremely flimsy and has a cheap feel and the length of the power cord is a joke. The new hinge is cheap stamped metal held together with tiny screws. The whole hinge flexes when you open and close the lid. The old George Foreman has a power cord that is twice as long and the hinge is cast metal.Update-Ended up returning.
It rattles like a toy from a dollar shop, and everything seems loose, including the top, detachable plate. The supposed 'floating hinge' is the flimsiest of  chrome-plated metal strips that simply has a lot of tolerance/play in it.All in all, it is a cheap, nasty little device.I went out and purchased a Breville, but was also tempted by Tefal.They are more expensive, but the build quality is far superior than the mere difference in price would suggest - solid, stainless steel, heavy duty, professional-looking without the tinny, hollow rattling and loose hinge of this lame, tame, wobbling machine.
Answer: I assume that by "floating hinge" the inquiry deals with auto adjustment of spacing between top and bottom grill plates to accommodate the thickness of the steak,  sandwich or other item being grilled.   The answer is "yes".   The grill easily provides even, auto-adjustment of the spacing.
