Love the suitcase style and portability.
The lid is useful not just for storage but also to prevent grease splatter. Gets hot quick, super easy to clean up with the not stick. Overall I love this griddle 9/10. Only minor compliments... The latxh to release the griddle surface is difficult to out back into place. Grease catcher could be a little bigger (filled it up cooking 1 package of bacon). Love how hot it gets but the downside is the low temps are still a little too hot if you want to cook something a bit more slowly. Overall I highly recommend this unit.
