I bought this as a replacement for my George Foreman grill. Now I’m able to adjust the temperature and the grill doesn’t slant downward, causing food to slide off. I love that the lid is adjustable so my sandwiches aren’t squashed. My rib eye steaks came out great and toasted sandwiches were great too. its easy to use and even easier to clean. I love the versatility of this appliance. It’s large to store, but no larger than the Foreman grill. I highly recommend this griddler!
