Customer Response
Removable plates are a plus
I had a George Foreman years ago and liked having a small grill inside, but hated that I could never get it fully clean at the edges!
I received this griddler a couple of years ago for Christmas and still own and use it.
THE GOOD
Removable plates make it easier to clean overall.
Can store in a cabinet to save counter space.
Heats up pretty quickly.
Can use closed or open.
THE BAD
When opening, it doesn't always open the top plate all the way, so be prepared to push with a utensil. I thus have to clean dripped grease off the back and out from under the feet. It's pretty light to handle though.
Don't let it sit cooling too long--it's harder to get clean in the dishwasher. If you don't mind hand washing, it does pretty well with that method.
Overall, it must be pretty good---I'm still using it! We've grilled hamburger, steak, chicken, fish, and vegetables, all with success.
good product
Well, it's a grill, what can I say. It works very well, and we like it a lot better than the Foreman grill we replaced with this. We've used it in all it's configurations, and it just seems to work really well. Glad we bought it.
Worked ONCE- then wouldn't turn on! Should have read ALL reviews before purchasing this!
I recieved this as a Christmas present from my husband. The FIRST time we tried it, it wouldn't work! My husband who is a born engineeer tried everything to get it to work; checked the dials, the plug, the plates and finally after playing with the cord got it to work- once. It was great when it worked but the second time we tried we experianced the same problem, only this time we could not get it to work at all! Needless to say we are returning it and doubt we will re-purchase it. I can't help but assume that if we got one that worked it will probably have a short life if used frequently. I was extremely disappointed. I desperately wanted this and getting a new in box unused defective griddler was such a bummer! (Although it was very sweet of my hubby to purchase this for me!)
Must-have gadget for every kitchen!
This is one of our favorite kitchen gadget. It was easy to set up right out of the box. The removable plates snap easily into the griddle. It takes a few minutes to heat up but it appears that the heat is evenly spread. The plates wash easily in the sink with a sponge. I know they say it's dishwasher safe but I feel better hand washing it.
We have cooked blueberry buttermilk pancakes, thick cut bacon strips (see my bacon picture), sausage links, panini-pressed grill cheese and turkey sandwiches. They were all delicious. I love the Griddler!
Not What I Thought!
I just grilled burgers for the first time. What a greasy mess! The grease just spatters out the sides of the grill. The grease cups are not integrated, you just sit them on the counter lined up to catch the dripping grease. When you lift the lid to remove the burgers, the grease from the top grill drips straight down to the counter behind the unit. Not what I thought it was. Am I the only one who cooks burgers? Maybe chicken would be cleaner. I'm very disappointed.
