We have only been using the Griddler Deluxe for a few weeks but already like a lot of things about it: The product is compactly built, heavy enough (about 15 pounds) to be stable, but light enough to move. The controls are very simple and focus on the most important thing - temperature settings. Upper and lower grill plate settings ad lots of flexibility to what / how we cook things. Reversible, easily removable and dishwasher safe grill plates are a very positive feature. So far we are mainly grilling sandwiches and reheating pizza in the Griddler but its simplicity and convenience will ensure our expanded use.
This was a gift: Pro: easy to clean, does a great job cooking, has reversible plates that are very easy to remove and place back on. Easy to clean plates that can even put in dishwasher. You have temperature controls on both sides. Versatile for different jobs. Can use open, folded, one side, both sides or lower top for panini. this would be so great for grilling meats and burgers, but we are vegan. I can really pile on the vegetables. Cons: For me it is big, clumsy to move while in open position and still warm. My island is small and while the unit is still warm I find it difficult to move out of the way when I'm all done cooking; that is when I need that space for eating. It's an issue I can find a way to solve.
Love this product. Cooks very quickly and places grill lines on what you are cooking. Excess fat poors onto the drip tray. Is a great alternative to going outside to use the grill.Use it about 4 times a week.
Cleans easy, does a fantastic job and is worth the money. Believe me... I have tried differed brands. and I don't write reviews every day. This griddle deserves it!
Its a great device. I would of given it 5 stars, but when the top is not fixed (released to accommodate the food below) and you open the top it drips outside of the drip pan. Not a big deal usually. I love the dual mode function. It is is larger than I expected, but that mean more cooking area, right!? Overall it is an upgrade to my previous indoor grill and I really like it.
