Best George Foreman Electric Grills

TL;DR: The George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill offers a 240 sq in non‑stick surface, 15‑serving capacity, and 5‑setting probe control, but its 8.68‑lb bulk and fixed cord keep it from being truly portable.

This grill’s standout spec is the 240 sq in aluminum cooking surface coated with George Tough Nonstick, which the manufacturer says can handle up to 15 servings in one go. A sloped design removes up to 42% of fat, and you access five temperature settings via an included probe. It reaches cooking temperature in about 10 minutes and draws 1600 W from a standard 120 V‑60 Hz outlet.

Compared with the other seven models, the GIO2000BK is heavier than the Smokeless unit (4.19 lb) but lighter than the Indoor Outdoor Grill that weighs 14.33 lb. Its cooking surface outstrips the 200 sq in area of that same Indoor Outdoor model and dwarfs the 60 sq in surface of the 4‑Serving Removable Plate and the 40 sq in area of the 2‑Serving Classic Plate. Wattage matches the Indoor Outdoor Grill at 1600 W, surpassing the Fully Submersible’s 1100 W and the Family‑Size Grill’s 1500 W. Its 500 mm depth exceeds the Beyond Grill’s 318 mm, giving it more room for larger cuts.

Reviewers repeatedly praise the grill’s quick preheat, generous surface, and health‑focused fat removal, calling it perfect for parties and family meals. Professionals note the five‑setting probe delivers consistent temperatures, and the removable stand lets you shift from balcony to kitchen with ease. The most common complaints focus on its bulk—standing at 520 mm tall and weighing 8.68 lb makes storage a challenge—and the fixed electrical cord, which limits true outdoor freedom.

Best for: Apartment dwellers, large families, and party hosts who need to grill for many people without charcoal or propane.

Avoid if: You require a lightweight, truly portable grill for camping or have very limited storage space.

TL;DR: The George Foreman 4‑Serving Removable Plate Grill offers a 60‑sq in cooking area, 42% fat‑drain, and 1800 W power at $41.99, making it a compact, quick‑heat option for small families.

This model delivers a 60 sq in cooking surface and a 4‑serving capacity, while a sloped design removes up to 42% of fat. It heats up in about 10 min thanks to a 35% faster preheat claim and a rated 1800 W output, reaching a maximum of 450 °F. The removable plates are dishwasher‑safe, and George markets the Tough PTFE‑free coating as three times more durable than earlier versions.

At just 0.62 lb, the grill is dramatically lighter than the Family‑Size Grill’s 5.52 lb and the Fully Submersible’s 5.77 lb, making it easy to store on a cramped countertop. Its 1800 W wattage also exceeds the 1500 W of the Family‑Size model and the 1100 W of the Fully Submersible, giving it a power edge in this lineup. However, its 60 sq in cooking area is smaller than the Indoor/Outdoor Grill’s 200 sq in surface, so it’s best suited for modest meal portions.

Professional reviewers highlight the 42% fat‑drain sloped surface as a healthy‑cooking benefit, and users repeatedly praise the quick heat‑up and the convenience of dishwasher‑safe plates. A common complaint is the lack of temperature controls, which limits fine‑tuning for delicate dishes. Some reviewers also note confusion over the listed wattage, seeing both 1150 W and 1800 W figures in different sources.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option

Avoid if: You want the best value-per-dollar in its price range

TL;DR: The George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill offers a 200 sq in nonstick surface, 15+ servings and up to 42 % fat removal, but its 14.33 lb weight makes it a bulkier, indoor‑friendly option.

This model’s standout spec is the 200 sq in cooking surface, which the manufacturer says can handle 15+ servings in one go. The sloped aluminum plate removes up to 42 % of fat, and five adjustable temperature settings let you dial in the heat you need. At 1600 W, it heats quickly, and the manufacturer markets the George Tough™ nonstick coating as durable and dishwasher‑safe.

Compared with the seven other George Foreman grills in this roundup, it’s noticeably heavier. The Indoor/Outdoor Grill weighs 14.33 lb, while the Indoor/Outdoor Grill (B076FKHRLD) is 8.68 lb and the Smokeless model is just 4.19 lb. Its weight compares to the Beyond Grill 7‑in‑1, which lists at 6470 g. In terms of cooking area, it dwarfs the 4‑Serving Removable Plate’s 60 sq in surface, giving you far more room for a family‑size meal.

Reviewers consistently praise the large surface and the health‑focused fat‑draining design, noting that the removable stand and domed lid make it versatile for apartments or patios. Users also like the dishwasher‑safe drip and grease trays for easy cleanup. The most common complaints revolve around the 14.33 lb weight and the bulkier footprint, which can be a challenge in tight kitchens, and the need for a nearby electrical outlet limits true outdoor freedom.

Best for: Large families, parties, or apartment dwellers who want a high‑capacity, health‑focused grill with indoor/outdoor flexibility.

Avoid if: You need a lightweight, truly portable grill or plan to grill where no power is available.

TL;DR: The George Foreman Beyond Grill 7‑in‑1 delivers seven cooking modes, 500°F searing power and 65% faster heat‑up at a premium $116.99 price point.

The standout feature is Intelligrill Technology, which the manufacturer says cooks 65% faster thanks to dual heating elements and optimized airflow. With a maximum temperature of 500°F, it can give you a restaurant‑style sear, and the 7‑function lineup (grill, air fry, roast, bake, slow cook, broil, keep warm) serves up to six people per meal.

At 6470 g (about 14.3 lb), the Beyond Grill is heavier than the Indoor/Outdoor Grill (8.68 lb) and the Smokeless model (4.19 lb), but lighter than the 4‑Serving Removable Plate (0.62 lb) by a large margin. Its $116.99 price also places it above most of the other seven products, which range from sub‑$30 to just over $110.

Reviewers love the cooking times – the frozen‑to‑cooked claim is 22 minutes – and the no‑flip sear that makes weekday meals feel special. They also praise the compact footprint for apartment kitchens. On the flip side, some note that the air‑fry function doesn’t quite match a dedicated air fryer, and the broad versatility can feel like a trade‑off for peak performance in any single mode.

Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $116.99

TL;DR: The George Foreman Fully Submersible delivers a compact 4‑serving grill with a dishwasher‑safe, fully submersible design, 30% faster preheat, but its 36 sq in cooking area may feel tight for larger meals.

The standout feature is its fully submersible, dishwasher‑safe construction—just remove the control panel and you can rinse the entire grill. It preheats about 30% faster than the older GRP0004B model, reaches a maximum temperature of 450 °F, and runs on 1100 watts. At 4.0 in high, 10.0 in wide and 11.0 in deep, it occupies roughly 35% less countertop space, and the 3/4‑inch adjustable hinge lets you store it vertically.

The Fully Submersible weighs more than the 0.62‑lb 4‑Serving Removable Plate and the 2.8‑lb 2‑Serving Classic Plate, matches the 5.52‑lb Family‑Size Grill, and is lighter than the 14.33‑lb Indoor Outdoor Grill. Its 36 sq in cooking surface is smaller than the 60 sq in area of the Removable Plate, the 40 sq in area of the Classic Plate, and far smaller than the 200 sq in surface on the Indoor Outdoor model, meaning you’ll have less room for multiple items. The 1100‑watt power draw sits below the 1500‑watt Family‑Size and the 1600‑watt Indoor/Outdoor models, reinforcing its role as a mid‑range, space‑saving unit.

Reviewers consistently praise the effortless cleanup—being fully submersible after you detach the control panel makes dishwasher use a breeze. They also highlight the faster preheat as a time‑saver for quick meals. On the downside, many users note that the 36 sq in cooking area feels cramped for a “4‑serving” claim, and the need to detach the control panel before washing adds a small extra step. Professional reviewers point out the 3X tougher nonstick coating as a durability advantage.

Best for: Small households, apartments, or anyone who values easy cleanup and a space‑saving grill.

Avoid if: You need a large cooking area for big families or gatherings, or you prefer a grill that doesn’t require panel removal for washing.

TL;DR: The George Foreman 2‑Serving Classic Plate packs a 40 sq in cooking area, 760 W heating and up‑to‑42% fat removal into a 10.25‑inch‑high, 2.8‑lb unit that’s ideal for tight spaces and budget‑focused cooks.

This grill’s most distinctive spec is its compact footprint – just 10.25 inches tall, 9.38 inches long and 5.12 inches wide – while still offering a 40 sq in cooking surface that serves two. The 760‑watt element reaches a usable temperature in roughly three minutes, and the sloped plates claim up to 42% fat removal. An adjustable grilling angle lets you switch between a flat panini press and a traditional sloped grill, and the cool‑touch handle keeps the exterior safe to handle.

Compared with the other seven models in this roundup, the 2‑Serving Classic Plate is lighter than the Family‑Size Grill (5.52 lb) but it's heavier than the 4‑Serving Removable Plate (0.62 lb). Its price point sits below the Fully Submersible and the Indoor/Outdoor Grill, making it one of the more affordable options. While the Smokeless and Beyond Grill models have larger cooking areas, this unit’s 40 sq in surface is modest, making it the most space‑saving choice for singles or couples.

Everyday users love the sub‑10‑inch countertop footprint and the quick three‑minute preheat, noting that the Advanced George Tough nonstick coating feels “three times more durable” than standard surfaces. Reviewers also appreciate the built‑in drip tray that collects fat, reinforcing the health‑focused claim of up‑to‑42% fat removal. On the flip side, professional reviewers point out that the fixed plates make deep cleaning harder than removable‑plate models, and the 760 W output can stretch cooking times for thicker cuts.

Technical details round out the picture: the grill’s nonstick surface resists scratches, the sloped design channels excess grease into a dishwasher‑safe drip tray, and the power‑indicator light automatically turns off after the three‑minute preheat to conserve energy. The one‑year warranty adds a safety net for budget shoppers.

Best for: Singles, couples, or anyone in a small apartment, dorm or RV who needs a space‑saving, budget‑friendly grill.

Avoid if: You regularly cook for larger families or need a larger cooking surface for multiple servings.

TL;DR: The George Foreman Smokeless grill delivers 85% smoke reduction, a 90 sq in non‑stick surface and digital touch controls for 4‑6 servings, but its $83.57 price tags it as a premium mid‑range option.

This model’s headline feature is its patented smokeless technology, which the manufacturer claims cuts indoor smoke by up to 85% through advanced airflow and grease drainage. A 1500 W heating element reaches a maximum 400°F, and the digital touch‑sensitive panel lets you dial the temperature from low to high while a timer provides time monitoring. The grill also advertises cooking up to three times faster than a traditional contact grill.

At 4.19 lb, the Smokeless sits between the feather‑light 0.62 lb 4‑Serving Removable Plate and the heftier 14.33 lb Indoor Outdoor Grill, making it portable enough for countertop use but still stable on a kitchen counter. Its 90 sq in cooking surface outstrips the 60 sq in area of the 4‑Serving Plate, yet it’s smaller than the 200 sq in surface of the Indoor Outdoor Grill. Power‑wise, its 1500 W rating is just shy of the 1600 W used in the Indoor Outdoor and Indoor/Outdoor models, and it outpowers the 1100 W Fully Submersible grill.

Reviewers consistently praise the smoke‑reduction claim, noting that indoor meals stay clear of lingering grill odors. The removable, non‑stick grill plates and dishwasher‑safe drip tray earn frequent mentions for easy cleanup. Users also like the visual and audio feedback that confirms temperature and timer status. However, several comments point out that the grill’s $83.57 price is higher than many entry‑level George Foreman options, and a few note that it’s harder to find in stores, hinting at limited availability.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option

Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance

TL;DR: At $39.99, the George Foreman Family‑Size Grill offers a 5‑serving, 56 sq in cooking area, 42% fat‑drainage, and a 1‑inch adjustable hinge, making it a compact, health‑focused option for small families.

The grill’s standout feature is its 1‑inch floating hinge that lets you tilt the cooking surface for thicker foods, while the Advanced George Tough Nonstick Ceramic coating—PFAS‑free and advertises eight‑times more durability—covers a 56 sq in plate. It can reach up to 450°F and draws 1500 watts, giving enough heat for burgers, paninis, and quick family meals, and it serves up to five people per session.

Priced at $39.99, it’s cheaper than the Fully Submersible’s $47.59 and far below the Indoor Outdoor Grill’s $113.89, yet it weighs 5.52 lb—considerably heavier than the 0.62‑lb 4‑Serving Removable Plate but lighter than the 14.33‑lb Indoor Outdoor model. Its 56 sq in cooking area sits just below the 60 sq in surface of the 4‑Serving Removable Plate and well under the 200 sq in area of the larger Indoor Outdoor Grill, positioning it as a middle‑ground option in both size and price.

Reviewers consistently praise the PFAS‑free ceramic plates for durability and easy cleanup, and professional reviewers highlight the adjustable hinge as a versatile touch. However, users have flagged inconsistent product dimensions across listings and noted that real‑world temperatures sometimes fall short of the claimed 450°F, which can affect searing performance. The compact footprint—just 12.32 in high and 14.33 in long—makes it a good fit for apartments or small kitchens.

Best for: Small families or space‑conscious cooks who want a versatile indoor grill for burgers, paninis, and quick meals.

Avoid if: You need precise high‑temperature cooking, ultra‑lightweight portability, or a grill with a significantly larger cooking surface.
