TefalGC722D40 Optigrill Plus X-Large Grill with 9 Automatic Settings and Cooking Sensor, Non Stick Removable Plates, Automatic Settings and Cooking Sensor, Stainless Steel, Xl

I have used this grill for well over 2 years and had helped me cook my meats in a healthy and lean way. I like the function that you can set the rarity of how you like your meats with the heat level ensuring food is cooked at the correct temperature whether it is a steak or burger etc. I have even used this grill to cook cheese toasties as well as paninis and always tastes amazing.The plates are of flawless quality and it is incredibly easy to pop them off and use in the dishwasher and fits nicely in most household cupboards due to its compact size. I would highly recommend buying this over a George Foreman grill or any other leading competitors for that matter.

Such an amazing indoor grill. My husband convinced me to buy this because our air fryer broke. Unrelated, I know, but I stumbled upon this and my husband saw it and wouldn't stop telling me how great this would be. He even said we don't need a replacement for our air fryer haha.In all honesty I'm so happy we went for it. So far we've made sausages, chicken breast, pork shoulder, bacon, tomatoes, carrots (with the tomato setting) and crispy potatoes. Absolutely fantastic. They all tasted out of this world. Personally I really disliked grilled tomatoes but these were so delicious compared to anything else I've tried before. And guess what! Everything came out nice and crispy just like we wanted it.Some people said the food tastes like it's been made on a normal bbq grill, however I wouldn't say so. It tastes delicious but not quite the same. I'm beyond happy with the taste but just wanted to point out that you might think the same as me!In terms of functionality - it's super easy to use. The programs are very straightforward and they work really well & they're quite inclusive too. Some programs have multiple cooking options such as: rare, medium rare, well done & crispy. The display is big enough to see even from a distance. The timer beeping is loud enough to hear from the other room but not too loud to drive you crazy haha. It's also great at detecting the thickness & calculating the time for cooking. It was always bang on for all the foods mentioned above.Cleaning - extremely easy to clean. I clean it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge and it doesn't require scrubbing. The plates pop in and out so easily and you can easily clean them in between dishes with a paper towel. Bonus: you can't put the grill plates back wrong because they're not interchangeable. So nice!Size - it's not too big and not too small. For what it does I'd say it's very compact for a kitchen appliance.Smoke - it does release a bit of "smoke" which is mostly steam. It doesn't smell bad at all - just smells like food being cooked! And I'd say it's only steam because of how hot the grill plates are. No need to open windows to let the "smoke" go out at all. Super convenient.The only thing I wish was a little different is - a longer cable! It's pretty short in my opinion but not too bad. But it's not enough take away points from the grill.Overall extremely great and we're stoked to have it. And we highly recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic upgrade after killing 3 famous boxer branded ones in 2 years.This one is a bit more complex but removable plates, solid, programmable it's like comparing my Skoda with a Bentley, they do similar things but very differently.I could buy 2 (or 3 if they are on offer) of the others for the same money but this is fantastic and very easy to keep clean.Plus when the coating eventually wears I can buy new plates. One of my new favourite things, so much so we named it Steve.

Easy to use, sturdy, excellent and must have for your kitchen
