are there any George Foreman Grill knockoffs?

[edprush]

I'm looking for something that works as well but doesn't cost as much...................

Why would you buy a knockoff, aren't these things cheap enough? I've seen the personal sized ones going for $20....

I have seen a few at Wal-Mart made by Sunbeam (I think) that look to be ok.

Just make sure to get one w/ removeable hotplates. Those things can be a bit#h to clean.

Yes, I bought a knockoff made by Hamilton Beach. It is one of the larger ones and is very similar to the Foreman grill (removable plates). About 12 dollars less than the Foreman grill.

I believe I have the same one. It has a thermostat and is very well made. I paid around $30 for it when I bought it, but the Foreman model would have been arounf $70. (and didn't have a thermostat)

I'd love a huge one with removable grill plates.

That's also what my last ex-girlfriend said........

This would be nice:

George Foreman is a good guy and all but I can't afford to pay him that much for a personalized grill.

Nice price but why the heck wouldn't they make it drain to the front of the grill!

Hamilton Beach

That's a little different than the Hamilton beach that I have. You might want to check a Wal Mart B&M. Mine looks identical to the large white George Foreman.

Do you happen to have a model number?

Get the Hamilton Beach one.

I can't see any problem with the way it drains. When you're done just slip the grease catcher out, rinse it and toss it in the dishwasher.

 

[edprush]

It doesn't look like it is slanted so that the grease drains to the front.

Maybe it drains to one of the sides.
