It is the best sandwich maker I have had so far, it heats really quickly, the size is just perfect for bigger meals or foods, easy to clean and for the size it is, not heavy. Honestly there is nothing to complain about, except for the liquid container that is located in the back, it doesn not retain 100%of the juices, you'll have to clean some of that spilled juice on the actual table, anything beyond that, this item as worth the penny and I'd recommend it!

I really like the Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe. It’s a well-made, versatile kitchen appliance that makes cooking at home much easier and more enjoyable. I like the stainless steel finish because it looks modern, feels solid, and fits nicely in the kitchen. One of my favorite things about it is how versatile it is. I can use it to cook steaks, burgers, chicken, vegetables, pancakes, and sandwiches, or make delicious paninis. The reversible grill and griddle plates are very practical, and being able to open it flat gives me plenty of cooking space. The temperature controls are another great feature. They make it easier to cook different foods at the right temperature, and the high-heat searing function is especially useful when preparing steaks and burgers. The food cooks nicely, and I appreciate having more control over the results. I also like that the cooking plates are removable and reversible, which makes cleaning much easier. The nonstick surface is convenient, the drip tray helps collect excess grease, and the dishwasher-safe accessories save time after cooking. Overall, I think it is a great addition to the kitchen. It combines good design, practical features, quality materials, and excellent versatility in one appliance. It’s the kind of product I can use regularly for everyday meals without needing several different cooking devices. I’m very happy with the convenience it offers and the variety of meals I can prepare with it.

Huge cooking surface. Easy to use. Love the idea of flipping over the same cooking surface to change from/to grill/griddle. I've had many different grills, but this is the most expensive one I have bought. Cooks as good as the others, but I do like having the ability to open to two cook surfaces and can turn on each surface separately. I give this a 5 but have 2 issues, which should dictate a 4. However, after thinking about it, I feel the issues I have may be more related to me, which, in my opinion, is not fair to downgrade the machine due to my subjective issues. With this said, I do feel they are worth mentioning and could be a potential issue for others. I have to place it on my counter at just a particular space or when I open the lid, it will hit the bottom of the cabinet. I did not pay attention that the height or opened height, if it was there, but we made it work. But in my defense, I have never had this issue and didn't think about it. The second issue is the first time I used it, it tripped my breaker twice. The only thing I had running was this appliance and my Keurig Coffee maker. After some testing, I realized it was due to the two heaters AND the coffee machine running at the time. So I either don't do all three at the same time, which is only an issue at breakfast time; or if at breakfast, I don't turn on one of the heaters until the coffee machine is done. I really like this grill so I wanted to do everything I could to make it work. Oh one more thing, which is not a big deal to me, the grease does not drain on it's own too well. This normally would be a big deal. However, because I use the utensil to push the other stuff leftover on the grill, I push the grease out as well. It does seem to drain to edge, but the grates don't seem to be angled enough to make it all drain out.

I used it for the first time tonight and was amazed. I cooked a steak, which with my old grill would have had raw edges. I adjusted the "thickness" setting and got a wonderfully juicy steak with sear marks and great flavor. Perfectly cooked my first try!!! Of note, when I heated it up, I used the 350 setting because I read a review this works best. Oh my, what a wonderful recommendation!

Price is affordable. Easy usable. Real steel looks good. Good job

This is the perfect appliance for busy cooks. Faster and easier than grilling outside with great results and easy cleanup. Sent one to campus apartment and it is keeping 4 young men afoot with hamburgers and grilled cheese

This Griddler was the best Christmas present I received this year. It's very versatile. So far I have used it for burgers, steaks, pancakes and grilled cheese aandwiches.
