This stays on my counter top everyday. Love how quickly it Cooks food perfectly and easily, even frozen. We are a family of 5, so I am so glad I got the XL model so we can get enough for everyone on one time cycle rather than 2 or 3 on previous indoor grills we've owned. Clean up is super easy by detaching the grill plates and grease tray to put in the dishwasher. Very happy with our purchase & we've had it for 8-10 months.
