The quality, build, and finish of this grill really surpassed our expectations - truly professional grade construction.  As a centerpiece of our new custom designer kitchen, we are so thrilled with this product.  Intelligent design choices make cooking a breeze - one thing that many don't mention is that the griddle is recessed below the cooking surface and has a removable waste trap, which makes cleaning a breeze.  Say goodbye to your old electric plug-in griddle that takes forever to heat up and is a nightmare to clean; pancakes ready in a snap and cleaned up just as fast.
