Outdated Product
The Tefal electric grill belongs to solutions for a large family, as it is characterized by an increased size of the working surface (40x20 cm instead of the standard OptiGrill 30x20 cm). Another feature of the model is an increased set of automatic cooking programs. Now in 9 pcs, including sandwich, burger, sausages, fish, poultry, seafood and different types of meat (red, pork, bacon). Traditionally, the Tefal Optigrill+ XL GC 7228 contact grill allows you to cook steaks without the use of oil and achieve the required level of doneness from the option with blood to Well Done. So, there is a sensor for determining the thickness of the product, which sets the optimal temperature in auto programs, plus there is a clear colour indicator of the cooking process. Of the additional options, it i...s worth highlighting defrosting and the ability to set the required temperature manually (4 levels are offered in the range of 110 – 275 °C). After use, the plates can be removed and then placed together with the drip tray in the dishwasher for cleaning. If you wish, you can purchase not a completely black version, but a related grill in the colours of the "stainless steel" XL GC 722D.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Tefal Optigrill+ XL GC7228 is a versatile contact grill that impresses with its large cooking surface and automatic cooking programs for various foods like steak, chicken, and fish. Users appreciate its high-quality build and removable non-stick plates that are easy to clean, though some find manual cleaning less pleasant. The grill features nine temperature modes and heats up quickly, making it convenient for cooking without constant supervision. While the grill's size is suitable for larger families, some find it too bulky for smaller kitchens. Despite its higher price, users find it a worthwhile investment for oil-free cooking and achieving restaurant-quality results at home. However, the short power cord and occasional issues with the non-stick coating are noted drawbacks. Overall, the grill is praised for its efficient performance and ability to cook a variety of dishes with ease.

Cool double-sided grill
14 February 2018 
On the one hand, the device is not even cheap, I would even say that it is expensive. From the bay-floundering, as a replacement for a frying pan, you definitely can’t buy such a thing. But after my wife and I, while visiting, tried meat cooked on a similar apparatus, all doubts disappeared. The grill for cooking fried meat is 110% suitable, a frying pan cannot even give such a result, you can trust me.
Firstly, this machine makes an impression only after unpacking. It has a decent five-kilogram weight and impressive dimensions, allowing you to cook four or six medium-sized steaks at once or quickly bring eight cutlets to readiness. The quality of the assembly attracts attention, nothing dangles and does not stagger. Although this is China, China is correct, under close French supervision. For the preparation of various products, a number of automatic modes are already provided (poultry, fish, beef, pork, vegetables, etc.), but for those who have not subsided the itch of culinary creativity, there is also manual control. Particular attention is paid, of course, to meat. It is very easy to cook a steak at a degree of roasting and the meat comes out excellent, the same applies to cutlets, turkey steaks and salmon steaks. A separate delight happened from wild mushrooms cooked on the grill! In total, it has 9 different temperature modes, which are designed for temperatures from 110 to 285 degrees. It heats up very quickly and cools down too quickly. Convenient fat or juice receiver is provided. The working surfaces of the grill have a non-stick coating, so it is easy to clean, and you can do it in the dishwasher.
The dimensions of the grill were too big for our kitchen, yet the width of 45 centimeters requires too much space. They didn’t figure out the management right away, he’s very independent))
A great grill with a practical selection of programs and auto cooking.

An extremely successful purchase. A very practical device in the kitchen. You can cook anything on this grill with a minimal amount of fat. The heating temperature is quite high. The plates are removable, and new ones can be purchased when these wear out significantly, but the price of the plates is like airplane wings. They are easy to clean, just like any non-stick cookware. On the grill, I've grilled steaks, chicken, sausages, and reheated shawarma. The most important and interesting feature of the grill is the auto-cooking programs for all occasions, plus it automatically detects the thickness of the product, thereby determining how long to cook it. There's also a manual mode. I had no problems with any product I cooked – nothing was undercooked or raw. The grill very accurately determines the cooking time. The program menu is successful and intuitive. The light indication is clear and ergonomic. There's also sound indication, which is very helpful when the grill is on, and you're in another room. Separate signals indicate the doneness levels and the end of cooking. The design is concise and practical. There is a tray for collecting fat during cooking. After cooking, the grill itself can be easily wiped with wet wipes and cleaned of grease droplets. The set includes a recipe book, which is not very informative, with only about 5 or 7 recipes repeated in many languages, as well as an informative sheet with products and the modes on which they should be cooked, which is more useful.

- the plates are easy to clean, but if you do it by hand it's not particularly pleasant, considering that they get very dirty
Valentin K.use Tefal Optigrill+ XL GC722D few months
good model, I liked it
9 October 2017 
I first bought it in one large chain store, but had to return it because there was not a single word in Russian and the EAC icon. Gray goods for 22t. this is great. I bought it from another store with a book of recipes and instructions in Russian, I was choosing from three, there were some defects in painting and processing. The first one, which was handed over, was better in appearance, there was even a film on the panel, and there were no paint runs (probably intended for sale not in third world countries). I wished I had passed, even without Russian instructions.
Convenient, no need to constantly check when cooking on the stove. Everything cleans up normally if you get used to it. It doesn’t smoke and throw around grease and oil like a grill pan. The size is just right, just for seven out of three people. Other models are enough for a couple of pieces.
PRICE!!!, there is nothing there that would cost more than 20 thousand. Flimsy design.
just bought Tefal Optigrill+ XL GC722D  i recommend it should buy
