I use this griddle more than any small appliance in my kitchen. I love being able to cook with the different plates. Anything that can be cooked in a pan can be cooked on this griddle. I just switch the plates and cook fresh waffles. No more frozen waffles for us.
It took a little getting use to after using a full size griddle as it is slightly smaller but once that was figured out then things started cooking the way I wanted them too. Bacon, Sausage, even Eggs if need be. Cleanup is a snap with the removable plates, just put them in the dishwasher and usually they come nice and clean, sometimes there is some stubborn stuff that requires a little elbow grease but not often. The drawbacks are the grease catcher is small and will over flow if not watched, the upper plate is somewhat cooler than the lower plate, you notice this if you are searing a slice of bread, one side is darker than the other, due to this you need to turn things like sausage patties and if using thin sliced bacon they will also need flipped over. But overall it is a nice piece of equipment that I would miss if I didn't have it.
I wanted a waffle maker/grill with removable parts and this is perfect. An extra is that you have control of the heat. I love it for waffles, and to grilled sandwiches.
Gets used 3 to 4 days a week, since purchase in fall of 2017. Works great. Cooks evenly. There is occasional sticking to the plates. And plates a little elbow grease to clean them. But, very pleased overall.
Small enough to live on my counter and meets most of my grilling needs, being an apt dweller w no balcony. Having a panini press is just fun. It’s light and easy to clean!
I bought this a few months ago and love it! I have used the griddle and grill features and have been extremely satisfied. It has performed exactly as advertised. If you get one you will love it.
I purchased my Griddler 3 months ago. Overall, I love it, but there could e some improvements. 1) The surface area of the plates need to be bigger. As I use this instead of pan-frying burgers and chops, I am limited to 2 at a time, when I need 4. 2) The raised edges need to be at least doubled in height. When grilling chops or burgers, grease flows over the sides and makes a huge mess. 3) It would be nice if the heating elements were removable to clean under them.
