The Ronco company (Ron Popeil) made millions selling stuff like the
Veg-O-Matic, Spray on Hair, Pocket Fisherman and Mr. Microphone; all
that stuff winds up in Garage sales. Ron Popeil once said (and I'm
paraphrasing) "The Pocket Fisherman isn't something you would want to
use, but it is something you would want to give as a gift." The only
product of his I ever purchased was the Showtime Rotisserie, but most
of the rest of his products are things I would not use.

I have a GFG, I have the small one that is just big enough to cook a
burger or pork chop, and I used it about a half dozen times and it
sits on my shelf because it is a pain to clean, and I prefer to broil
meats using a pie pan and foil, which is much easier to clean up.
