Purchased this after my last griddler bit the dust. This one is better in so many ways. I like the smoke-less mode and being able to have different temps for the top and bottom is great. I also like the fact that I have the option to only heat one of the griddles instead of both like the previous model. It did take a bit to get things figured out, but it's not difficult at all. I would definitely recommend this!
We love the Cuisinart Griddler. This is our third one - the first "smokeless" one. Iris so easy to use and clean and cooks your food perfectly. We love it so much, that we purchased another one for my 89-year old mother who cooks for herself and she loves it too.
Great appliance. I bought it as a panini maker but I find myself using it more often as an indoor grill. Does a good job will all types of meat and fish. Like the versatility and doesn’t take a lot of space in my pantry. Glad I bought it.
Works as advertised. Nice to have reversible grill plates that can be independently controlled with the heating elements. Grill plates clean up very easily and are dishwasher safe. Used several times so far and happy with results. Would be nice to have locking handle for more convenient upright storage.
I purchased this to replace an earlier version of the griddler. This has the added feature of smokeless griddling and temperature control of upper and lower grills. I am pleased, so far, with the less smoke...or no smoke...that occurs. Very easy clean up grills in dishwasher which is a plus. I have grilled shish kabobs and pork chops. Makes grilling a pleasure, especially during the winter months!
