My parents had George Foreman grills, and now I have one of my own. What a life and time saver for a busy/short for cash working college student! I try to eat healthy, but it just isn't always an option. At least, with my George Foreman grill, I can cook up a nice lean burger or chicken breast, grill some veggies, and not have a ton of mess. I mean, you can't even have a normal grill if you're the typical college student, and I LOVE me some grilled food. The fat catcher is really handy, and, even though mine doesn't have removable plates, it's not all that hard to clean, due to the nonstick surfaces....
