Good design, but max temp may be too low

 

Good design, but max temp may be too low

Like the removable grill plates. Just soak in the sink for cleaning. Mine doesn't get hot enough to cook stakes, even 1/2" thick. Simply doesn't sear them, so I am trying to get it replaced. I suspect that the thermostat is set wrong. Other than that...

Excellent grill, if you fix the loose top plate yourself.

 

Excellent grill, if you fix the loose top plate yourself.

I bought this grill since a friend loved it, even though some Amazon reviews scared me. I have used it now for a few months and love it. The good: it grills steaks, chicken, veggies, and paninis very well and fast. It's great. The bad: my top plate...

Dead After 4th Use!!

Versatile Grill

 

This is my third indoor grill. I began with a George Foreman and then, because the finish on the plates wore out, went to a Hamilton Beach because the removable plates were supposedly dishwasher-safe. This finish eventually wore out on these ...

Unclear cooking temperatures ; difficult to clean finish ; no shut-off button

I have been using this grill almost daily for six months. It is great. I cooked almost anything that can be grilled. I am really satisfied with this grill. Cleaning is easy because of the removable plates. I even measured the temperature of the plates...

Great grill, but two have broken

 

Great grill, but two have broken

I'm not giving the grill one star because it is well-designed (aside from breaking) and Breville's customer service is very good. My guess is that the power supply for this model grill is defective, a view reinforced by the number of people on this...

Broke after 4 months

 

Broke after 4 months

This is my 4th Breville appliance and so far most of them had issues. Loved this grill until it broke. It basically died; did not get hot at all, no light etc. Since it was out of the warranty period, this one went straight to the garbage... I would...

This product is constructed sturdy and works very well. A little high in price but worth it compared to other units on the market.

Product Specifications

Breville Ikon Removable Plate Grill has a top plate that can be adjusted to six pre-set heights. On the lower settings, this unique patented feature reduces the weight pressing upon more delicate foods like fish or vegetables. The higher settings are ideal for making open melt sandwiches or reheating. The removable non-stick plates firmly lock into place and are removed with the touch of a button. The three plates (two ribbed, one flat) are dishwasher safe. The adjustable tilt feature controls the angle of the grill's lower plate. The "Angle" position is perfect for fat-free cooking, draining the fat into the drip tray. "Flat" angles for use as a griddle for cooking eggs and pancakes.
