Much smaller cooking space than expected. Interchangeable cooking plates feel flimsy and would scratch easily. Chrome top will scratch and dent easily. It's going back.

This product is being returned. Function of it is great as plates remove easily, but the product did not heat up enough to brown the waffles or anything else I tried to make with it. Feel product may have had a defect to the heating part of it. Would not recommend.

This is a total piece of junk - Don't buy it, don't !!, June 26, 2010 This review is from: Total Chef TCG08G-CA 4IN1 Sandwich, Waffle, Grill & Griddle (Kitchen) I used the grill plates twice and the Non-stick coating peeled off. I thought I would try one more burger on the grill plates just an hour ago and this time the burger stuck fast to the "Non-stick" surface and to clean the stuck burger will probably result in another large area peeling off. I contacted Koolatron after the plates peeled but they never gave me the courtesy of a reply. A total waste of my retirement money. I give it no stars (though I had to click 1 star to complete this review) but feel they owe me 6 stars.Total Chef TCG08G-CA 4IN1 Sandwich, Waffle, Grill & Griddle

The grilled cheese and waffle maker worked good but the grill and griddle don't. The grease doesn't drain from the burgers. I would buy a separate grill that drains the grease.

I am very disappointed with this product. I takes a long time to heat up, which is somewhat expected but it does not heat evenly. The interchangable plates are thin and easily scratch the non-stick coating off. You are supposed to be able to stand it on its side. When I did that, after walking into the next room, it fell over. When I checked it out, a piece had broken off the top cover that helps it to stand level when using the griddle. I plan on trying to get my money back but doubt that will be possible since there is not a money-back guarantee.

Well, so much for 4-in-one. I was looking forward to this product's capabilities. Unfortunately, the one feature I really wanted (waffle making) does not work. After prepping the plates, making the batter and getting worked up to eat homemade waffles - I ended up throwing out everything that I attempted to cook. This product is so under par! I was so disappointed I didn't even try the grilling plate - I didn't want to waste anymore food. It went back the next day. A waste of time.

I was very disappointed after buying this product. Although I love the idea of the interchangeable plates, the mechanism that holds them in isn't very good at all. Occasionally a plate will pop out without using the button at all. The machine heats poorly in that only the half of an item gets browned. Closest to the handle seems to be the hottest part - by the hinge it doesn't seem to cook at all. The item was also poorly made. The second day I had this item it tipped over and a piece broke off of it. This from a height of less than 5 inches. All in all, I'll use it until I find something better, but I will make sure never to buy this brand again!

My sister graduated from college so I bought it for her to have in her new apartment. It is a little bit smaller than I expected, but she loves it. In fact my whole famil loves it. The plates wash off really easy and the grill is easy to manage. We have tried all the plates, and it is a great machine. She was looking at the george foreman G5, but this was a much better buy and has great results, not to mention perfect for a one person meal.

The product is smaller than expected; perhaps big enough for a single person usage, but really too small for two or more people. The removable and different use trays are a nice feature, as is being able to store on end. But unfortunately, there is no way to drain meats when grilling them-! That is not acceptable.
