Does anyone here have the Sunbeam Rocket Grill? I first heard of it not too long ago. I'm not so happy these days with my George Foreman-like grill. I'm thinking about this. Good and not-so reviews on Amazon. Three very good review on Epinions.

QVC has it on sale for 39.94 and it has very good customer reviews there also.

I have a panini grill that replaced our Foreman (it just stopped turning on one day), and I love it! It doesn't smash things so flat because the back is NOT attached. See it here: CLICKIT

Whoops - got the wrong brand. This is actually the one I have (and it's a bit bigger than the Elite) Click HERE

PS - one last thing: we wrap our meat in tin foil when using the grill, so our clean up is next to non-existent. With sandwiches, we just wipe w/a damp paper towel immediately after cooking, while the plates are still hot. The Rocket Grill looks like it would be MUCH better w/clean-up! Let us know if you get it and how well it works.

Thanks for info about the grill on QVC. (Never ordered from there before.) A lot of good reviews on there. I ordered it. I'll let you know . . . .

Colordeagua, I order frequently from QVC...I hate going to malls. QVC has a 30 day, unconditional return policy. So try it for a couple of weeks and if you don't like it, return it...you will only be out shipping charges. I have found their customer service to be friendly and easy to work with.

Thanks, Boberg. That's nice to know. Good customer service and return policies will get me as a customer -- sure as shootin'. That's why I LOVE Lands' End. And I'm lucky to live very near a Lands' End "inlet".

I held off supper tonight until after 7:00 when UPS delivered it. Went through instructions fast. (It's not complicated.) Had a grilled butterfly pork chop. It works great! It did a better job than any George Foreman-like grill I've had. If it continues like this (it should), it will get a lot of use. NO clean up!

Nobody checked back here? I've used the Rocket Grill a lot. I LOVE IT! Does a far better job of grilling than any Foreman or Foreman-like grill I ever had. NO clean-up. Boberg, thanks for the tip again about QVC. They had the special price for the grills back then. Now price is over $100. Don't know if it a different model or what. Again, I LOVE IT.

Thanks for updating us. I read your original message, too, but I'm usually more interested in the "long-term" results -- a month's use and you're still pleased is even better than one successful dinner at the beginning. I've got it bookmarked in case my panini grill ever poops out.

Today my local Target had the Rocket Grill on sale for about half price -- app. $25. The packages of pouches were also on sale at half price. I grabbed the last two. I am still lovin' this thing and use it a lot.

WOW, really glad it turned out to be a very positive experience Colordeagua! I might have to check out the Rocket Grill.

Just gotta keep sayin' -- I love it! Does a good job of grilling and no clean up. Can't ask for more. Pork chop tonight. I love pork chops. Rarely ate them before cuz the George didn't do a very good job of it and fryin' on the stove top was so messy with grease splattering, etc. I'm into "clean cooking".
