Designed for versatility between balcony and kitchen, the George Foreman GFO240GM features a removable pedestal stand that allows it to transition from a freestanding unit to a tabletop grill. It offers 240 square inches of cooking space, which helps accommodate larger family meals. The grill plate uses a PFOA-free non-stick coating and a signature sloped design that helps channel approximately 40% of rendered fats into a separate drip tray.
The 1440-watt circular heating element provides ample heat for the central portion of the plate. Because it uses electricity rather than charcoal or gas, this model is often a solution for those living in apartments where open flames are prohibited by fire code. The housing is made of high-impact polypropylene, and the unit includes a lid, though it lacks a locking mechanism for windy outdoor conditions.
To ensure structural stability over time, users may find it helpful to check the tightness of the pedestal screws periodically. The 6-foot power cord is longer than many indoor-only models but may still require a heavy-duty extension lead for certain patio setups. To protect the non-stick surface, it is best to allow the plate to cool below 180°F before cleaning.
If you prefer a more compact, digital interface for indoor use only, the George Foreman Smart Select offers advanced smoke control features.
This versatile unit is a prominent option within the indoor smokeless grills department for those with limited outdoor space.
