Better than my previous griddler. Digital settings take time to get used to, but the non stick plates are better than previous models plus it lets you know when it reach’s the desired temperature.

Takes some getting used to, only thing I'd change is the upper/ lower plate seems to be backwards to me. Lower plate on the top and upper on rhe bottom? Smoke-free settings didn't work for porkchops I use, it would have been easier to eat my tennis shoes than the porkchops that I threw away. Shortest time recommended that I found was 4 minutes minimum and that was way to much. Waffles, French toast and pancakes all were fine. The results I experienced with porkchops makes me use grill settings from now on, hamburgers do good as well, it's easier to select a lower temp and cook a little longer than use higher and risk being overdone. I also keep the insaread probe thermometer handy ot get doneness on the money

I had a previous model of the Cuisinart Griddler and loved it. Unfortunately, it went through couple of moves and ended up not working. I purchased the above model and it is WONDERFUL!!! It is relatively smoke-less (I live in an apartment with super sensitive smoke detectors) and seems to work well. I look forward to using for years to come!

I don’t like the panel, example symbol for confirmation, and the small screen!! Make the design simple and the screen more visible, less overlapping of commands!!
