Rating:  - Very easy to clean
I have had a George Foreman before, but cleaning it could be a bit of a hassle until I got this one. It is very easy to use and extremely easy to clean.
It is a great price for this model and overall I love it!
Rating:  - Salton Customer Service Awful
Product good, but the lid hotplate died after 7 months. Salton customer service did not want to assist at all - not even offering a repair. Fully entitled to a replacement or repair but kept telling me to contact Amazon.

Rating:  - poor
No temperature control and too cool
method of securing plates pathetic
No timer
Rating:  - Nice - but does not have timer or variable temperature
The Foreman shown is certainly the 12617 - but it does NOT have a timer or variable temperature settings as stated in the product description (as of 17/09/08 in case they edit it).
So if you are looking for a larg(ish) Formean with removeable grill plates - this is the one. But if you want a timer - move along. Nothing for you here.

Personally, I think this is still too much to pay for a 'sausage cooker' unless you live in a small apartment, caravan or bedsit.
