Hamilton Beach 25219 Review
Hamilton Beach 25219 5 Star Rating: Cheapism Best Pick
Summary:
This small (38 square inch) contact grill features a removable, dishwasher-safe drip tray, indicator light, and cool-touch handles; consumers like its quick pre-heat and cook times and relatively easy clean up.

The Hamilton Beach 25219 Indoor Grill is another cheap model that garners strong praise from consumers. Hamilton Beach 25219 reviews on sites like Amazon and Epinions, say this two-sided contact grill (the grill plates enclose the food) pre-heats and cooks quickly, and produces results that almost match what you get with a traditional outdoor grill.

This model features non-stick grill plates that are removable and dishwasher safe (as is the drip tray), making it a cinch to clean, say Hamilton Beach 25219 consumer reviews. It has no temperature controls but Hamilton Beach 25219 reviewers are not bothered by its no-frills features. What some do fault are the rounded corners, which, given its compact 38 square inches (11½x5¼x9¾), means you can't put down two large pieces of bread side by side; if you're into grilled sandwiches, this is important. Otherwise, the Hamilton Beach 25219 is just about right for one large meal or two mini-meals (like breakfast).

Hamilton Beach 25219 reviews also note its ease of use, durability, and affordability. Consumers also like the recipe book and one-year limited warranty.
