i finally yielded to temptation and ordered this product....i don't usually order things off the tv...i tend to be skeptical of the hype....but this surprised me how well it works!!....one thing they don't mention in the infomercial is how handy it is when you're only cooking for one, as i am....and i find that i'm not tied into just the recipes in the booklets...it cooks a burger patty, pork chop or chicken breast just fine too, with less mess and more quickly than stove top cooking
the shipping bit was kind of odd...they said i was "upgraded to express shipping"...then gave me a fed-ex tracking number...but it was delivered parcel post by the post office...but it still got here fairly quickly.... Very slow

Not quick.. takes too long. Cook times in book are wrong. For example, it says an omlette takes 10 minutes to cook.. really it took 16 minutes!! I could have made that in 3-4 minutes in a pan on the stove!

Review 'Chef', you said your omelette took 15 minutes to cook. How many eggs, and what was in the omelette? Did you wait until the unit was pre-heated?
I've cooked 3-egg omelettes with chees in my GT Express (forerunner of RediSetGo) and they cook perfectly in about 7 minutes and come out light and fluffy--much lightr & fluffier than when made in a pan on the stove, I think because of being enclosed. Believe me, I'm very skeptical about informercials and I'm definitely *not* secretly working for RediSetGo, so I'm not selling you a bill of goods. If your omelette was the usual 3-egg type and you let the unit pre-heat, I'd guess there could be something wrong with the unit you received. Redi Set Go Deceit

Do not order this product unless you want to spend $100. Watch their web pages carefully because they are misleading and then charge you more than you anticipate for the product plus added on "free" items. They are NOT free at all! I cancelled my order!

You do have to watch the web page for additional items being tacked on to your order but there is a place under each "added" item to decline ordering them. I had absolutely no problem ordering from their website and received exactly what I ordered and for the price it said. You have to take your time and not whip through the pages to place your order. Everything extra on that website can be declined if you do it right.
Non stick coating NG

My Redi Set Go is about three weeks old and the coating is already peeling off the top. This coating is more like black paint than a teflon surface, and it bubbles up from the heat apparently and then it starts blistering. At that point, food sticks to the cooking surface even after spraying with PAM . I read on a Yahoo Forum dedicated to this product, numerous complaints by people having a problem with the coating... They send you a replacement, if you complain, but the same thing happens to the replacement.

Try using a sheet of foil paper as a lining. Problem solved and basically no cleanup, just throw away the foil. It's best to use foil lining from the start, it'll keep the unit looking new longer.

I am a college graduate and declined all extras. Still I was charged nearly $30 $40 or so for the two units. That's nearly $70 for two units. Ordering shouldn't be a survival of the fittest operation. The company should be upfront about actual costs and the potential for unauthorized add on costs. They are not. What they do is illegal and not the fault of the victims of their deceit.

We were charged the $100 also. We let it go because my husband really wanted it. We discarded the carton it came in and kept it more than thirty days so we couldn't send it back. When we started to get charged on our card for all those stupid cookbooks I canceled our order by e-mail they didn't answer my e-mail. Another charge was added the next month so I called our credit card co. They would not go to bat for me because I had agreed to the order. I have canceled my card after 22 yrs. that is the only way I could stop the charges. The unit is more of a toy that a cooking appliance.

If you are being charged the monthly costs, its because you clicked "yes" for all of the additional products. "no" is under each option as well. Anytime there is an asterisk next to "yes" - it's worth the 30 seconds to read what is immediately underneath. It's not the sellers fault for customers not taking the extra few minutes when placing their orders. I dont understand the blame game here. Take responsibility for your ordering habits.

this is why I got mine at the "as seen on TV" store in person. best not to go through online or phone orders because you have no choice about giving them your number, and once they have that, they can drain you dry.
also, constant supervision is needed for this product. just cause it's cute, small, and toy-like, does not make it the 'easy bake oven' from your childhood. it get's extremely hot and, unless you want your food sticking and ruining the coating, it's always best to have the whole dish coated with oil first and if anything does stick, add a small amount of gress and use the provided spatula only so scrape it off. the spatula is there for a reason, DON'T USE ANYTHING BUT THE SPATULA!!!

I am happy so far with this appliance, BUT, I thought they would let me try the recipe cards and get one free, but would not charge me unless I wanted to join the club. Wrong! They signed me up and charged me, which really ticked me off. So, in total I have spent $70 for what I thought was going to be around $50 (with the S & H charges incl). I doubt if I will ever buy off TV commercials again. I would rather wait until the product comes out in the store so I don't get ripped off in any way. Also, is it possible to find recipes for this gadget on the internet?? I remember one time I ordered the Rolling Ruler over TV and costs me $20. Later I saw it in the store for ONE DOLLAR!!!! That should have taught me a lesson, but that was eons ago and I forget it but don't think I will ever order off TV again. Linda

I didn't get all the so called "free stuff" but only paid 39.99 and if I want found some sites with more recipes online haven't tried it yet but I at least didn't have to get roped in to a bunch of stuff and spend a boat load of money.

When I ordered mine it also asked me if I wanted the "FREE" recipie cards. I checked yes and after I placed my order I found I had joined a "club" for only $9.95! I called right away to tell them what happened and they said I had to wait 24 hrs to cancell. When I called the next day, the lady said she would cancell the "club" when I sent the recipie cards back at my expense. I told her I would just refuse the whole order and she said she would take $15.95 off my credit card and I could keep the recipies which was fine. I am not a stupid person...I can read very well...IT SAID FREE RECIPIES!!! Anyways, I have an American Express card and they stand behind me always. If I say do not pay-they will not pay. It is the only card I will use to order off the internet or TV. They had better not try to charge my credit card for something I did not order or got by "deceit" because in my state it is against the law and I WILL go after them!

It wasn't because of spending that much on my wife, but the false advertizing really up set me... NO thanks, I can get cheated at the gas pumps..

I had ordered there product on 10/9/09 I wanted the cooker and be charged in
2 payments of $19.99. When I received confirmation of my order via email I was hit with numerous other charges. Monthly pan charge, monthly news letter charge, monthly recipe charge. I called them in less then 4hrs after receiving this email as they did not open till 8am EST telling them to cancelled the whole order. I in no way authorized any of these charges. I have emails showing these cancellations. I've received a charge in my account on 10/14/09 for $6.95 which was I was told by the company as this was a cancellation fee my bank reversed those charges again as I was not told of these hidden charges. Today 10/15/09 I see on my account a charge of $51.80 and my bank states unable to block that charge if the company is stating that they already shipped it. I called the company again stating this was to be cancelled. The women I spoke to said yes I cancelled it but again it was to late to stop the shipping of the product. I cancelled on 10/09 4 hours after I placed the order they state this has just been shipped out today 10/15. I stated why am I being charged $51.80 she stated that since I wanted to cancel the order it was converted over to a one time payment. Again without my authorization. This started out to be a charge for $26.98 and so far taken out of my account has been $6.95 and $51.80. I have medical issues and my daughter is also disabled I was wanting something that will help us to cut the cost of cooking for the 2 of us as we are both on a fixed income. Also with my medical issues it was a chance to eat healthier. I can't understand how they can get away with this and that no one has brought this to the publics attention Lies on top of Lies

I purchased mine over a month ago and use it almost daily. I love it. As some other people stated you have to pay attention when you order it on the website. Like many other internet products they try to get you to buy extras. Before you finish your transaction review all the details. I have had no problems with the non stick finish coming off. I am very careful to only use plastic utensils with it and I clean it with soap & water and wipe it off with a paper towel.

I bought it, paid the $100 or so and LOVE it! I have used it for a month now with no issues with the coating. I use either a mister with olive oil or pam and only plastic. Allow to cool before cleaning. My wife and I use it every day and haven't turned on the oven or outside grill for a month. The shipping is a scam but you have to pay the price either up front or in the end. I cancelled all the extra crap and no additional charges yet *fingers crossed*. As an avid cooker with an imagination this thing is perfect for me. My wife loves the fact that I am excited about cooking again. Now if she can just teach me to clean :)

As others stated the web ordering process is tricky, you need to pay attention to all the 'free' extras which...well cost extra.
We picked out a steak recipe collected the ingredients and off we go. Turned it on, green light comes on, steak in and timer set for seven minutes. Noted the entire unit gets HOT so was very careful about keeping things away. The timer went off (very low ding), checked the temperature of the meat and set for another 3 minutes. This time it is good to go so we turn the unit off while preparing the second steak. We turn the unit back on, insert second steak and this time set the timer for 8 minutes. Notice the unit is getting extremely hot this time. At 7 minutes it seems the unit is turning a darker shade of red but continue on. Since the meat is not done we close the lid and try to set the timer for 2 more minutes but the timer knob does not seem right. It is then we notice the paint is starting to bubble and the timer knob comes off because it has melted. We turn the unit off and pull the plug. To be fair the steaks we cooked, the onions were mostly burnt and the mushrooms were just dry. We are obviously returning this thing as for us it is a major safety hazard. I soaked the bottom section for an hour then began the scrubbing process to clean it up. Noticed the coating was coming off so just gave up. Overall nothing good to say about this think. Be careful…there is no user temperature controls so if the automatic temperature control fails it will just keep getting hotter. Decieving product

I got it last week and was a bit dissapointed because of the size. It seem the unit itself was bigger in the infomercial. This one barely feed one person causing my second complaint; When you try to cook with it for a second time the unit becomes too hot presenting a FIRE HAZZARD. It burned things and the timer became inoperable because it melted.
Fat didnt drip out therefore it smoked a lot. Veggies dried out or burned. Oh and the green light in my unit never worked. Very hard to clean too even after using spam. Not a good buy at all. bad product-non-stick coating comes off

I love this little thing but it just does not hold up. The non-stick coating started coming off after the second use. I called and got a replacement at the cost of $15.99 for shipping. Wasted money as the second one did the same thing. Too bad because it is a nice little appliance otherwise. I am going to call and see about a refund this time.

Impossible to cancel the extras they send every month. Ordering this product is a big mistake. They will continue to send you extras and will not stop sending them no matter how many times you call and get confirmation that they have. You will have to go to your bank and likely be charged a fee to block them.

I ordered this product after seeing it on television and how fast it prepared meals. I placed the order via telephone and was under the impression I was only ordering the machine. The package came as shown on television, but also came with additional re occurring charges that I did not authorize. I finally called in January 2010 to inquire and was told they would cancel right away (still no explanation of why they were charging my account without permission). With my busy schedule I was not able to get back to the post office to return them due to work hours and post office hours. After receiving three more packages and three more charges I called to ask for pre paid postage to return the items and to also ask why they were still charging me when I cancelled three months ago. I was turned over to a very rude "supervisor" who said there was a computer error hence the reason I was still receiving the unwanted/ unauthorized items. She said I would receive credit for the last two but no more, I asked why she said they have a 30 day refund policy. I advised I should be exempt from that due to never giving permission to charge my account monthly, she had no explanation. She said the reason it was still charging my account was because due to a system error the computer did not fully cancel me, I said that is not my problem I did my due diligence and now you all must do yours. I told her to send me postage paid envelope and I would return them she said the customer must pay for the return. I could not believe what I was hearing, first you fraudulently charge my account and then you want me to pay to have the item shipped back to you. Makes no sense at all. The product is only mediocre and the customer service sucks.

I have gone through 4 George Foreman grills, and each time I used cooking spray, and each one eventually peeled off the coating. I bought this Redi Set Go unit a year ago, and when I bought it, I asked the customer service center, how do I prevent the unite from peeling. They advised me that I should never use cooking spray. There are properties in it that break down the coating. They advised to brush on vegetable oil, or butter ONLY! From the day I began using it, I have only brushed on oil before each use. My unit still looks exactly like the day I bought it.
My friend also bought a foreman grill six months ago, and took my advise of only brushing with oil or butter, and his also looks new- not a scratch on it. Not non stick

I understand the suggestion to not use non-stick spray oil on teflon coated products. However, in her informercials Cathy Mitchell herself tells the viewers to use non-stick spray. She even sprays the cooker herself with the non-stick spray before putting one of her recipes in the cooker. I also agree that you need to review the order form very carefully if you want to buy on line, but many times future billing and repeat product shipments are automatic and the policy regarding this is hidden in the small print and surrounded by commerce language that makes it difficult for the average person to understand how to opt out. Whenever possible, one should buy these types of products from a store such as Wal-Mart, Target or a mall store that sells "As Seen On T.V." products. From all of the comments I've read here, I have decided to not purchase the redi-set-go express cooker. I wish that my decision was not based on everyone else's unfortunate experiences.

First off I was shocked that my wife actually watched an informercial and ordered it! However, I was familiar with it and was glad that she did. We have had it not quite a week, and I have enjoyed using it. It does work exactly as advertised. I have tried the exact same recipes that we see on tv and it works just like she says they do. The candy bar cake is great, but if you make it the way it is directed on the packaging you will have too much for the cooker, so you will have to store it in the refrigerator. Fix it according to the Redi Set Go directions. Omelets are very good, and the fried chicken recipe is delicious! We are going to have the almond encrusted Talapia tonight. Everything does clean up easily. John

I saw Xpress Redi-Set-Go Cooker at Big Lot for $18 and was debating buying it. I wanted to know if this system actually worked or is it was just one more piece of junk in the 'As Seen On TV' product line. I have not been impressed with their products.
For the most part I am reading comments on delivery and pricing problems. These are certainly valid concerns. I did see a few comments about the capability of the product; problems with cooking times. If you could buy this product, without having to order online or by phone, for under $20 would you buy it? If you have already bought it have you been able to cook with it in the way it was advertised? Thank you for your time. Wishing you many blessings on your life journey. Xpress Redi-Set-Go Cooker

After several emails, I got that taken care of. My mom just called me and said she used the machine, and it is broken already. The on/off switch fell off. What a piece of junk.

I ordered one of these so called cookers.called redi set go. Buy one get one free. This was the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased. I tried to make one of the easy recipes, here is what happened. I smelled something burning, I looked at the cooker and the knob on the top was melting. It had been plugged in for only a couple of minutes. I unplugged it immediately. The knob was almost totally melted. I opened the thing up and the food was burnt to the machine. I tried everything to clean the cooker and it was burnt so bad, it would not come clean. I finally put water on it. I got it partially cleaned. I used the spatula that came with it to try to loosen the burnt on food and the spatula melted. Everything on this machine that could melt, did. I thought okay maybe something was defective, I will use the other cooker. I used spray oil(even though it was suppose to be non stick), It had only been on a couple of minutes. It started to smell it. I unplugged it.The food was already burnt. ( it was a different recipe). I scraped the food out of it, and the spatula started to melt. I finally got it partially clean, and tried to make a toasted cheese sandwich. (easy enough). What a joke. The knob on top was melted again. spatula melted and everything melted that could. I had been looking forward to have an easy way to make a quick snack. I don't know how that woman that advertises this piece of junk gets a way with the false advertising. I followed the directions exactly like it said, and I am not saying anything that is not true. She needs to be investigated because the cooker is nothing like the advertisement. Then to top it off, after paying for this piece of crap and paying the shipping and handling, The credit given back to me was $13.00(yes thirteen dollars). When I saw my refund I realized the way she makes her money, is by the inflated amount of shipping and handling. I really cannot believe she is getting away with this and some people say it is a good cooker. I learned my lesson about buying anything from a t v advertisement. My daughter has a George Foreman cooker, she was using when I used this piece of junk. She had all of her food cooked and her mess cleaned up while, I was still trying to get the food out of the first cooker I was trying to use. I do not know if this is the right place to complain about this redi set go cooker, but I am warning anyone considering purchasing one of these DON'T do it. I challenge anyone to prove to me there is anything good about this cooker. I do not mean just saying it is good. I mean prove it. If anyone knows about a small cooker that does what is claimed I would like to know what it is. I am not exaggerating one bit. My daughter and myself just looked at each other in disbelief. I do not know if the lady advertising is using a different kind of machine or what but there is truly something going on with this cooker and the advertising. I strongly believe this needs to be investigated, and anyone that purchased one of these cookers needs to be refunded and this co. be put out of business. made to tell the truth about the cooker or be made to prove these cookers do as she states and I mean different ones than she uses on t v. I know nothing will be done about this, but people are being taken for their money and she continues to get away with selling this piece of crap and she has not been stopped or investigated. All I got of this a pain in the neck, a mess and a lot work to trying to clean up the mess and get the burnt smell out of my house, I was taken by these false claims and phony advertisement but it will not happen again. She is ruining it for people that actually have a good product to sell on TV but I for one will not be purchasing anything from TV unless someone I know recommends it. Thanks for giving us a place to warn other people about a product that is made so poorly, the product and person advertising should be banned from selling this piece of junk on TV. Thanks again Jan Bell

The cooking area is really small, much smaller than it looks on TV. I'm not sure how they fit the steak on it or a sandwich on it. I'm single, just cooking for myself, so that is not the issue; it's just too tiny.

The first time I used this unit I loved it. After the first time is has been downhill. The timer doesn't work, the coating is coming off the pans. I am not going to go on as many people have already said what I want to. Don't Buy This Unit. A Complete Waste of Money. This unit should not be sold.

My 91 yr old, hearing impaired, parent ordered via telephone after viewing TV ad. He got shoddy products, cheap asccessory kit with items you could by at the dollar store. Was charged shipping and handling with each item on order. Charged 9.95 plus 4.95 shipping and handling for three tiny cookbooks. Was charged 19.95 + s/h for the cooking pans. Shouldn't they have been part of the cooker? Charged for an extended warranty which if the product was any good wouldn't be needed.
Was charged for items not received. When he called the customer service to complain they said he ordered it and could not cancel the order. It boils down to this. Product charges were 94.70 and shipping cost were 45.75. They will continue to send the cheap cookbooks and charge him 9.95 + s/h for each collection. I have advised him to contact his credit card company to stop any more charges and I am reporting them to Consumer Protection. All this and he hasn't even used it yet. Hidden charges, cheap products, missing items.

There are many states that have special investigative units that protect the elderly from being ripped off financially. That is a real shame! I am so thankful I read these comments prior to be purchasing this unit. Thank you very much for you information.
Extremely disappointing xpress cooker

I ordered the xpress cooker with some anticipation as it seemed a very good answer for cooking for one or two people. The ad seemed to show the benefits of using the cooker including the reduced costs of operation. My only concern was that it didn't allow for draining of fat during the cooking process. Okay, I get the cooker and the timer switch is broken. I call customer service and the person helping me had such a heavy accent that it was almost impossible to know if they knew what my problem was. I was surprised to receive a new timer switch in the mail but it also was broken. This time I emailed customer service and the reply was that the company was going to send me another cooker as a replacement. However, the cooker was never sent. I wrote another email but received no answer. I've had to use the cooker without the timer and it wasn't long before the paint inside the cooker began to peel off. There is no way I was going to take a chance on eating food tainted with unknown paint. So, my cooker is worthless and was a waste of nearly seventy dollars. It will be a cold day in hell before I would order a piece of junk like this again. I really had hoped this would be something that I could depend on for years to come. I've been sadly mistaken.

I found the redi set go at K Mart and was thrilled the first few times I used it; but today while using it; I noticed the coating beginning to flake off while baking a cake. Several hours later; I decided to cook some chicken and noticed the appliance getting too hot and the timer became increasingly hot to the touch and began to slowly pop up until it no longer worked. It is now useless. I do feel this is a safety issue & plan to return it for a full refund instead of exchanging it.

This product it definitely a joke to buy online. I bought two in early July, one for me and one for my sons' girlfriend as a graduation present. We have both returned them to the Shopko Express store already because, of the timer switch broke. Really, plastic switch housed into a hot unit, how stupid is that???? I will be returning my second unit because of the same problem. If you buy at a store the 800 number will not help, then again the Filipinos don't understand English and probably never seen the product to know want I was explaining. Although they did tell me about a number on the bottom of the unit that starts with a #3,(my didn't match the box) as I wanted them to report this problem and fix it with in the manufacturing, but I'm sure that won't go anywhere.!!
When I was repacking it I noticed that the product was stamped 2007, but the box was label 2009. Here maybe another SCAM!!! Be careful, I will try it one more time, but I will pull the unit out of box before leaving store to have same year on box and unit. I do like using the unit and yes you most use the plastic ware, cooking spray, and keep clean. review

This is a big scam they charge you for everything. I was not happy with this product and I was going to send it back the same day I got I called c custumers service and the lady told me that they were going to keep $35.00 for shipping. I end up not send this piece of crap back. I want to report this but I don't know who can help me with this matter. I know some customers are not happy with this product please get in touch with me so we can take action on this.

It cooks things well if you're not using it long. I made the steak and potato's on it and the timer melted. I would suggest looking at your local stores to purchases this to save the shipping cost (Target carries it) and don't plan on making a meal, maybe just an omelett, corndogs etc.
Very disappointed !!!!!

I received 2 sets of ReadySetGo on Saturday,August 14,2010.This means 4 machines.3 out of 4 have already lost the timer buttons due to the plastic knob melting.2 of them were first time use. The 3rd one made it to the second use. Nonstick coating is anything but.Nothing is falling out of the pans even with spraying.Today is August 15,2010.It hasn't even been 24 hours yet and I'm sending all 4 machines back.My family has made 4 recipes in that 24 hours and they have tasted great. But if the timer doesn't work the machine is useless.2 of these were going to be gifts.I'm very disappointed in this product and will probably lose $140.00 in shipping and will have to close my credit card acct. after reading the reviews, just to keep the company from charging unwanted and unauthorized charges.I'm very sad that my 11 yr.old son feels horrible about the fact that he wanted this to make cooking a little easier for mom.I gave in and now he and I have learned whats going to be ( i think ) a very expensive lesson. I wish I would have web searched the complaints before the purchase.I would have never purchased.

What to Do/What Not to Do

I have to say that I am so glad that I do not order products from infommercials. I happend to see this product on TV today. They advertised the "buy one, get one free. Just pay additional shipping and handling". I thought that would be where they "stick it" to people. It looks like I was right.
Like others have said, just wait until it shows up in stores. It will usually have a lower price. I like the previous GT Xpress 101, but was not going to pay the price they wanted. Afterall, it is just a waffle iron with a facelift. One month or two ago, I found this GT Xpress 101 at Big Lots for $12.00. I grabbed it. I really like it, because it does what I intended it to do. I wanted to make food that I can "grab" quickly. I make corndogs ahead of time, in this GT Xpress, freeze them, then microwave one as needed. I do the same thing with pancake batter and sausage, for quick breakfasts. I plan on making some kind of pizza pockets next. I am not going to complain about the negative comments on here, but why not come together and make your comments do something. Go to official organizations and make formal complaints. Maybe look at US Consumer Product Safety Commision. What about FTC. Do something, so others will not be affected. Having an appliance melt is not good. I think Consumer Reports informs about safety and recalls. You do not know if this company is going to fess-up to the problems. Didn't Toyota take a while before people heard about the problem? Hope this helps |

So far everything I tried was very good!
I was really surprised that it worked so well.
