I recently purchased the Griddler and I am pleased with it. It is easy to use and so versatile. The best part is ...it is dishwasher safe so clean up is so easy. Love it.
I got one for a wedding gift and we used it a ton and loved it. We bought the waffle plate attachment and it was worth the purchase. We use our a ton. The only drawback is that the knobs are plastic and if they break off you can’t control temp or feature depending on which knob.The knobs on the front must have gotten bumped and they broke off. Otherwise I love this machine.
It is a good product and works as advertised. I like the hinge design and was the primary reason for choosing this product. The top and bottom grill plates make even contact with the food. The grill plates are easily removed and cleaned in the dishwasher taking up no more space than a large plate and that's a huge plus compared to some of the competition.
4 - stars would have been earned had the lip around the edges been 2mm higher to ensure juices room without running over the edge. Another option would have been to create a 20mm slope with front being higher to force juices to run to opening for catch tray.
5 - stars would have been earned had the dials been done more clearly. Why not simply make the dials a slight bit smaller and have 4 of them: # 1 - Bottom On/Off # 2 - Bottom Temperature # 3 - Top On/Off # 4 - Top Temperature
