If you’re looking for anything at all, besides a griddle, this is a wonderful product. If you’re looking for a griddle, don’t do it. Hope I saved you some money.
I enjoyed using my grill. But the on/off button disappeared. I am trying to find that part to replace but if I can't the Griddler Five is not useable.

Very convenient, easy to clean, super versatile. I like the sear function as well as the rotatable grill/griddle plates! Cooks evenly, includes a great timer function. My only two qualms are that the user-friendliness of the display is not so easy to use; and the lid doesn’t stay in place when I lift it. It keeps unlatching as I shut it, almost got burned a few times. Wish there was a locking mechanism.
Griddler Five is a truly versatile and practical appliance for the kitchen. It delivers excellent results for making toast, sandwiches, grilling meat, and vegetables. The removable, dishwasher-safe plates make cleaning extremely easy. With the adjustable temperature and digital display, you can effortlessly control the cooking process. The build quality feels sturdy and durable. I haven’t experienced any issues so far, and I highly recommend it.
We bought the Griddler about two years ago and have bee very happy with it. Just today, i pressed the button to turn it on and the button ejected from its socket, with broken tabs. I cant find a replacement for it and would hate to throw it away
Cuisinart Griddler 5 does great burgers, pancakes, and much more. This is my second Cuisinart Grill and first digital grill. I bought some waffle plates for it and have been enjoying them. They griddle cooks great and cleans up easily.
