I actually had one for a couple years when I lived alone in a fairly small apartment. I really liked it; it cooked hamburgers well enough and it was super cheap, like $15-20 when I bought it during a sale.
Obviously a full-sized grill would have been better, but I didn't really have that as an option in my apartment. It was easy to clean, cooked stuff relatively quickly, and neatly fit right next to my toaster. I think it's a good product for what it is.
Why they got a retired boxer to promote it, I have no idea.
- MrMcCall 2y agoHe was an affable and funny man, who also happened to be a boxing great. What made him so affable was his deep humanity and kindness. And the endorsement worked, for sure!
- tombert 2y agoOh no question, I saw him in interviews years later and he seemed like a pretty decent dude. He also made fun of himself on King of the Hill, which always has my eternal respect. And the endorsement definitely worked. It's possible that the grill might have still been successful without his branding, but we don't know that what-if, we just know that the grills that had his branding definitely were successful.
