I believe the new Grilleration model is only 85 sq. inches - about 9-1/2 by
9. Too small for us.

Martin, there is a very easy way to lighten the chore of cleaning the
fixed-grill plate version. When I finish cooking, I immediately unplug the
unit, cover the hot grill with sopping-wet paper towels and close the lid.
By the time we have finished our meal, everything has softened up and is
easy to remove.
