Score: 72/100
George Foreman Family-Size Grill
Score: 80/100Rankings
George Foreman's Family-Size Grill & Panini Press provides a large PFAS-free ceramic cooking area, an adjustable floating hinge, and a fat-removing slope for healthier meals. Its heavier weight and potential temperature discrepancies may be drawbacks. Ideal for small families seeking a versatile indoor grill.
The Cuisinart GR-11 Griddler is a compact 3-in-1 grill, panini press and full grill with stainless-steel construction and dishwasher-safe ceramic plates. Its modest 300-650 W power and limited preset temperatures keep it from matching higher-end models. Ideal for one- or two-person households needing a space-saving, easy-clean indoor grill.

Professional reviewers and editors are scarce for the GR-11; retailer descriptions emphasize its versatility and easy-clean design, while a Cuisinart product expert highlighted the higher 650 W power figure. Compared to higher-end Griddler models, the GR-11 is positioned as a basic, space-saving option with fewer cooking modes and lower wattage.
Everyday users consistently praise the GR-11 for its compact size, ease of cleaning with dishwasher-safe plates, and versatility for small meals. The most common feedback mentions its suitability for two-person households, while occasional complaints focus on unclear wattage specifications and the limited cooking surface.

Professional reviewers and editors highlight the grill's PFAS-free ceramic coating, compact footprint, and versatile adjustable angle as strong points, while expressing concern over the discrepancy between claimed and observed maximum temperatures and questioning the completeness of the PTFE-free claim.
Consumers generally praise the grill for its ease of use, effective non-oil cooking, and family-size capacity, though a few note minor issues and occasional stock shortages.
