This is a great product. I love that it has multiple uses and that the two plates have two sides each which offers different ways of grilling. It’s easy to use to make paninis and I love that it can be used fully opened for pancakes or whatever I choose. Being able to remove the plates after cooling makes them easy to wash.
Love the versatility & easy use of this product. Especially the extra waffle plates I acquired. Easy to clean and great cooking results. I’m getting rid of my stove top grill pan as I don’t use it anymore.
Love my griddler! Have made paninis, fried bacon and eggs, grilled sausages and peppers. Easy to clean and stores nicely in a small space. Built well and large drip tray is a great addition.
I like the multi-use capacity of the griddler. My only negative comments are 1) it doesn't get dark enough (like the sear lines you'd have with a grill) and 2) I'm still not sure how to lower the temp after the sear function has stopped. It's become sort of hit or miss. Directions not very clear.
I'm happy overall with my Griddler although it's not without flaws. It cooks frozen burgers and salmon fillets quickly and evenly. However grease can overflow the back of the bottom plate, dripping down and getting on the various edges and corners of the feet protrusions, and even get into the hole where the power cord exits, which is a pain to clean every other time.
This appliance does everything the ad says it does - and does everything very well. It is also good-looking (I keep it on my counter next to the stove and use it 4-5 times a week). I also bought the waffle plates - and was able to eliminate an "occasional use" appliance. I looked at many others - this one is by far the best.
