Westinghouse SA40130 Searing Grill and Griddle, Stainless Steel

Are you frustrated with the lower quality of Foreman's grills (which used to be good but not anymore)?

Are you frustrated with the lack of features in Foreman's grills?

After looking for a long time, I came across this unit:

* Timer with auto shut-down

* Temperature control

* Easy to clean, removable, interchangeable, reversible, plates with *internal* heating system

* 180° degrees openning

* Adjustable height (but not much)

* 2 dripping trays

* 1 sauce tray

* Safe cold-handle

* Excellent quality

So, is there anything wrong with it? Well, the only thing that it may bug you is that it's not tilted (so grease will not drip in the same way as in tilted ones).

This item was purchased late February, 2012.On April 17, 2012 a defect in design made it impossible to remove the upper plate to clean and reverse to the smooth griddle side.One of the screws had loosened and it could not be reinstalled.Calls to Westinghouse for assistance with defect were never returned.

Two calls to Westinghouse (SAI) on 4/16/12 and 4/19/12 have still not been returned. Zero customer service by Westinghouse.Buyer Beware.

Another call to SAI Home Products today.I wanted them to be aware that someone still has not called me back.The person I spoke with could have cared less about my problem.He was very rude.

In addition, I thought it important that the Amazon vendor, Wholesale A.V. should be aware that getting warranty service for products they sell is nearly impossible.To my surprise I called their contact number listed on the website and twice I did not get any answer.

Pretty sad that the company that manufacturers the product and the Amazon Storefront that sells the product could not be contacted.

Thank You Amazon!!!

Five Stars for Amazon Customer Service!!!
