This griddle has been an absolute godsend for me and my family. Our stove went out and we can't afford a new one at this time, so the griddle has replaced it for now. And honestly, I may never look back!! Pancakes, bacon, eggs, cheeseburgers, you name it, we've made it! The hot plate warms up  fast and the heat is consistant across the entire surface. Cleaning is a dream. I just take a wet washcloth, spray some dawn power wash on it and wipe it down and wipe with a clean washcloth to take the soap off. It's very well made and easy to store and amazingly portable. The color is beautiful and matches my other small appliances. We will be taking it with us on vacation in our RV and I cannot wait!! Would 100% recommend!!
