I really like this machine. The only thing is kind of confused about is the thing that is supposed to catch the oil. It doesn’t catch the oil or I’m just not doing it right. There’s really no talk of that in the instructions. I get oil everywhere on my counter. Other than that it is easy to clean. I’ve only used the grill part and use it pretty much every day. I did try to grill bacon on it and the smoke was so bad I had to get a fan to fan the smoke away from the smoke alarm. Other than that it’s been great and very useful!
The Griddler is the one appliance we use almost daily! My daughter gave us one about 8 or 9 years ago and it quickly became our favorite. We recently purchased the new Griddler five because the old one was showing some age. Our specialities are our grilled sandwiches. We love this appliance and we would not want to be without it!
I really like the Griddler5 because it allows me to grill smaller amounts of food without having to rely on an outdoor grill. Love the two different surfaces: grill or griddle.
Love, love, LOVE the Griddler 5! It's well built and easy to use and clean. We rarely put ours away. We've made paninis, Reubens, pancakes, and eggs. It grills chicken, burgers and chops perfectly in a snap.
A big improvement over the earlier version of the Griddler, which this replaces. I like the digital screen for setting time and temperature as well. But my favorite improvement is the fact that the griddler beeps when temp is reached. I also like that when I set the grill to 450 to grill a steak, it automatically reduces to 425 after the initial sear. The heating surface is smaller than my old machine, but still just adequate enough to cook up to six burgers at a time. Now, if you’ve resolved the fact that my old griddler plates warped from heat after a year of use, I’ll say this machine is darn near perfect.
