I bought this grill about 5 years ago, worked fine at the beginning, but had to calibrate the grill a couple of times for grilling height/sensor, I used grill about one to two times a month. Yesterday I plugged in the grill and heard a buzzing sound with controls lights flickering! Flames came out of the back right corner and griddle died instantly!!! Tried to unscrew the unit to see what had happened and wires where completely fried. Was a fan of tFal product but got a reality check on product quality, DO NOT BUY! Read honest reviews and customer satisfaction before making a griddle purchase.
