I’ve read all the reviews both good and not so good. Caused me to hesitate on buying this for a few weeks. After purchasing I wish I hadn’t listened to the negative reviews. This unit does exactly what I was hoping. I use it for panini sandwiches, quesadillas, grilling steaks, veggies, and virtually anything that I would do outdoors. It’s easy to clean and easy to use. I highly recommend this grill.
