Love the griddle and the variety of meals I can create with it.  I can think of only two improvements I'd make to this model.  1) it would be nice for the grease cup to have a design to keep it from sliding side to side out of the way of the grease channel.  Sometimes moving the hard lid around can shift it.  2) A second higher shelf would be nice just to make the lower shelf more useful.  I get too much direct heat on the shelf to be able to set things there, but could use the extra space if it was cooler.
