I love the grill marks. I love cooking the bacon, pancakes and most of all steaks and grilling chicken. It works much better than expected. And I use it much more than my stove. It doesnt feel like those cheap grills. You can tell that this is quality. And a very sturdy piece. It is also dishwasher safe. Which makes it a breeze to clean. But I do clean it alot by hand. Because it is used so much. I recommend this to anyone who loves to mainly grill. Especially if you live in Florida like myself. Its great for rainy season. I really love this grill. Thank you wayfair!
