I don't think 1200 watts is too bad. It's about the power usage of an average toaster.

I used to have a nice circular electro grill. Ceramic body with stainless insert and a circular heating rod. I bought it at a yardsale for $5, unused in the box. The glass lid of my large frying pan would fit exactly on top of the grill. Steak, Beef and Chicken came out with a nice smoke flavor. The best were grilled mushrooms ...

Well, I don't have it anymore. I voluntarily handed it to my ex.
One of those seemingly insignificant things.

The $100 George Foreman won't match it in a lifetime.
