I can't say enough positive things about this cooking system. Has some weight to it, but isn't too heavy. Easy to take out of the box and easy to set up and get going. Easy to follow instructions, even easy enough to figure out without instructions. Cooks food pretty quick rather than cooking on a stove. I love how it gets out a lot of the grease and fat from your foods. Provides healthier eating.  All of the options are awesome and convenient. One system pretty much does it all with very short cooking times. Not very loud when cooking but does get hot.. Cleaning is easy and a breeze. I love this system and use it on the daily now, all my friends and family now want one too! I highly recommend.
