George Foreman GR36-59A Grill and Rotisserie Combo

Great gift -- for yourself, or someone else
I received this combo as a Christmas gift, and I guess I was skeptical. But after using both parts of the combo several times, I'm sold.

I've always enjoyed the George Foreman grills. When it's too cold out to use a proper BBQ, or you just don't want to take the time, a GF grill is just the ticket. Easy to use, easy to clean, and with its long-lasting non-stick surface, you'll be enjoying it for a long time to come. The jumbo model included with this combo is big enough for the whole family, or allows you to make extra ahead for lunch the next day.

But the real gem is the rotisserie, and is where I was most surprised. If you enjoy whole roast chicken from one of the restaurant chains or your local grocery, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you're able to make it at home -- with the added benefit of controlling everything that goes into it. Simple recipes accompany the appliance, and the results are just delicious.

The rotisserie comes with skewers for ka-bobs, or a basket...

cleaning is a hassle
The price : No complaint, especially the price I paid for last Christmas (2004), 30% less than normal selling price.
The Grill : BBQ is easy and the cooking is faster, so much faster than a charcoal grill.
The Rotisserie : crispy and tasty. My husband loves to make rotisserie or roast pork, and believe it or not, it is excellent.
The cleaning : We both hate it. The cleaning is really a hassle, it is so difficult and it takes so much time, especially the rotisserie. We only used the rotisserie three times since we bought it because none of us wants to do the clean up.

Happy/Unhappy
I give this 3 stars since I have to rate both items together.

First - the grill is wonderful - perfect for 2 people and guest. We use it for our RV. The grill gets 5 Stars.

The rotisserie is not as good. I give it 1 Star. First, it's hard to clean after greese and sauces spaters on it. Second, it doesn't hold a whole chicken of average size - maybe a cornish hen. I bought it for my RV so I could have rotisserie chicken like I do at home.
