| Depends on your circumstances. Studio apartment, minimal cooking skills, college kid, etc…yes, May be worth it. Exception is that they are a pain to clean. |

| I will say my bf's mom (now husband) gave us a George Foreman back in 2007 and we rocked that thing until about three years ago. When we moved to a SFH, it didn't get much use in the warmer months because we now have an outdoor grill. I did still use it somewhat frequently in the winter when I got sick of the crock pot. I never replaced it when it broke because I jumped on the air fryer train and haven't looked back. |

| It used to be a great convenience. I do everything in an air fryer now. |

+1. It is surprisingly useful for young college kids or young professionals. We got one for our son who is in pharmacy school for last xmas. He doesn't know how to cook but he was able to use GF Grill to make simple things - burgers, grilled cheese, heat bunch of things. |

| My mom uses hers all the time, perhaps once or twice a week. They are in a condo and their patios are all glassed in. It is much easier to use George (that's what she calls it) then to schlep to the outdoor grilling area. |

I use mine a time or two a week, but do it on the patio.
The grease smell makes me nauseous inside. |

| No way. I would get a cast iron stove top griddle. And cook with ghee. |

| You can have ours. I was a gift a long time ago. Too hard to clean. I just use a skillet. |
