I do have a George Foreman grill, but I hardly ever use it. You have to wait until it cools before you can clean it.
I recommend a food processor and a crock pot. The food processor is great for chopping and slicing; in addition, one does not have to wait until the butter is softened before making chocolate chip cookies! I can chop up parsley for tabouleh in no time.
The crock pot is perfect for throwing stuff together in the morning and letting it cook all day by itself. Tons of recipes for this too.
