Works great. Did some burgers and it cooked them perfect and no need to turn them. Makes a fantastic grill cheese and other toasted sandwiches perfectly. My 3 year old granddaughter loves the grilled cheese. I do recommend using a lean meat for the burgers. I used 80/20 and it almost overflowed from the grease reservoir. 4 extra large patties but a fifth would have been on the table. Clean up was easy as well. I am extremely picky when it comes to my kitchen appliances and will send them back in a heartbeat. I will buy one of these for each of my 5 daughters just so they can think they can cook as good as Daddy.
