Overall I really like this stove. However, the main thing I wanted was the griddle. A buddy of mine talked me into buying a griddle when my grill went bad and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Love love love my outdoor griddle. So when I bought a stove I decided I had to have one. This one is very nice especially in the winter. So if the griddle is important to you take this notice. It is aluminum with something similar to a Teflon coating. Mine started flaking off after about 60 days and I was using nothing but the silicone spatulas you see in the photo. You can see in the photos there are no scratches it simply wears off very easily. If you go to GE‘s website you will see roughly 300 people with the same complaint and begging for a cast iron replacement. They do not sell one but do have many apologies. I see there is currently an upgraded replacement on Amazon but the terminology on the material is ambiguous. Seems to have decent reviews but can you trust reviews on Amazon these days? Also as many other people have said the bottom drawer is pretty flimsy. You can see that if you have any real weight in it, it will not want to stay on track. In my last photo you can see the right side has come off the track. It seems it’s one side or the other unless I have next to nothing in it. I hardly use the tray and could probably reinforcement so that doesn’t bother me. But the fact that my stove is not even a year old and has looked like this since about 4 to 6 months in, does bother me. I’m hoping if I buy the aftermarket griddle off Amazon or wherever else I can find one that it will look presentable again. As far as function goes I love everything about this stove. I will say this though, if you’ve only used a small griddle like this on a stove don’t go thinking that you won’t like an outdoor griddle. The secret is having a bunch of space to move stuff around and cook a ton of stuff all at once. These are so small that you can’t really have a bunch of different heating zones. I still use it all the time though.

Great stove, love the fifth burner. Bought the rack as well. It comes with the griddle. Haven't tried the air fryer nor the convection yet, looking forward to using them all! I love my Nuwave, small and large, but I am thinking I might not need them with this new stove.

I really like this oven. It’s stylish and modern. The air fryer works great and I love the fact that it’s self cleaning. It also comes with a bottom storage drawer.
