I love the color of this griddle.... goes well with my sky blue mixer and other accesseries! This griddle seems to heat evenly and works well. I love the actual temperatures shown on the dial, rather than low, med, high. I also like the little bit of texture on the griddle. This helps thing not to stick as much. The only thing I don't love is the little gap between the colored outside and the actual griddle cooktop. Food can fall in the crack fairly easily.
