[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a month ago to replace our George grill. This model is amazing! Its easy to clean and not too complicated to use. The directions are very simple to follow. We love how this grill can be used to cook top and bottom and the same time, from meat to pannini's and you can also lay it flat and use it as a griddle with 2 separate sections for 2 types of food!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This appliance has quickly become an essential part of my kitchen. Within the first few days of owning it, I used it to prepare multiple meals, and it has effectively replaced both my contact grill and my panini press.
Its versatility stands out. I’ve used it to cook hamburgers, pork chops, fish, paninis, and even sub sandwiches, all with consistently excellent results. The cooking surface is spacious—large enough to handle four hamburgers when used as a contact grill, or up to eight when opened flat.
Cleanup is straightforward and hassle‑free, which makes it even more convenient for everyday use.
Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a reliable, multi‑purpose cooking solution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So flexible for making meals of almost any kind. Produces very little smoke and cooks without having to use much oil. Cooks evenly and quickly. The cooking plates remove easily for griddle or grill. And they are a cinch to clean. We are so happy we bought it and have plans to prepare all sorts of dishes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this grill about a month ago. I really wanted to make a croffle. The croffle was grilled so well and we also grilled the meat. It's really convenient because you can use both sides and keep the temperature of both sides different. If you move the grilled meat to another side, you can eat it warmly. It's easy to control the temperature and it's easy to wash dishes. I highly recommend this machine!
Have had one of these for a few years. Digital set-up is confusing, but I liked how it cooked. However, the digital system is now glitching and keeps turning off. So, we just bought a new one with dials instead, hoping for a better experience with this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Griddler is a family favorite in my house. We use our Griddler almost every day! It’s a fast, convenient and cost-effective way to make healthy meals, literally, in minutes. I’ve made everything from grilled cheese, burgers and kabobs to bacon and eggs. And clean up is a breeze. The plates and drip tray are dishwasher safe. I wipe down the unit with a disinfecting wipe or damp paper towel and clean up is done! Easy, healthy and tasty food in minutes.
Great appliance! Given to me as a Mother’s Day gift and have enjoyed using it thus far. Still getting used to it! Got this as a replacement for another brand that I had numerous problems with!
