We have the grill for 2 months now. We (the Foreman grill as example) opted for this more expensive mainly due to the possibility to adjust the temperature and because of the possibility to remove the grill plates individually. In practice, these two points may prove very useful. Especially salmon steak and beef steak are excellent with the grill. Only chicken steak (from ALDI-freezer) is a bit dry - but this is probably not the BBQ. All in all, he is the few euros more in any case value - and last but no least, is still MADE IN GERMANY plan. Full buy recommendation.
