We are more than pleased with the purchase of our Griddler. We live in a small apartment with limited counter and storage space and the versitility of this well designed and we'll constructed small appliance not only enlarged our mealtime possibilities, but enabled us to get rid of our Foreman grill and our presto griddle, and free up enough storage space that we also bought a popcorn maker. So thanks, Cuisinart, you've got a couple of real satisfied customers in me wife and me and the next time we go looking for a kitchen appliance, we'll  look and see what Cuisinart has to offer first.
