I was hesitant to buy it with the mixed reviews, but they sell it at Costco, which means they stand behind the quality of it, so we gave it a shot. We've had it about a month now and have used it regularly.It's a sturdy, cute little thing that does exactly what it needs to do without taking up a ton of space. We're so happy about it!The negative reviews seem to be from people that don't use this as directed by the instruction manual.Heating: it heats in about 6min to high, which is perfectly reasonable. It's quicker than a stovetop. If you let it heat all the way first, there are no problems getting your food cooked hot.Plates & Cleaning: The plates aren't too heavy, but they do get a nice sear. I love that you can take them completely off for cleaning.The non-stick coating is fantastic. I LOVE that it's not Teflon. I would not put these in the dishwasher, as other reviews have mentioned about the backs not being coated, but they're so easy to clean it's not necessary. Wash with soap and water then put them back on to dry.Safety: They latch in and out with small hooks, using a button you have to hold down. You do have make sure they are secure, but this no big deal.I also like that you have to unplug it fully to turn it off. This thing gets HOT and it helps avoid accidental burns, particularly with kids around, by completely unplugging it when you're done.

This Grill griddle works just great just like all blue diamond products they cook well and their easy to clean up after. Love the grill griddle it's easy to put together cook take apart to clean grease wipes right off it's great for cooking for two but I wish it was a little bigger but I use it all the time especially because the three different plates that comes with it.Bought another one for a gift to my sister and she loves it just as much.

Like how this cooks hamburgers. Grease does build up on plates. If you like cooking in grease then you will love this.

Two years old hardly used, made extremely cheap. I called Blue Diamond customer service to try to get parts just to fix the knob that broke they didn't help at all. Blue Diamond said since I had qualified appliance repair technician take it apart to find out why is was not working Blue Diamond said the warranty void. Blue Diamond refused to send parts or to fix it. I will be buying another one from another brand. I rather pay more to get better customer service than buying something that is cheap and lasting more than 2 years and only used less than 12 times. Sad that companies make appliances so cheap that fill up our landfills.

i love everything about the Blue Diamon sizzler griller except for one flaw. the hooks you slide the upper plate into when the heat gets to it after a while with consistent use the screw becomes very loose and what happens is the hook gives out and starts to wiggle and it loses its grip on the upper plate and the top plate falls down on top of the food. now what i was thinking in the future for you to make your product a little bit safer is use a raised lock washer on all the hot plate screw holes all four of them the hooks that fasten and secure the plates. that way when it does heat up it only has enough play to loosen as far as the screw starts to turn but the lock washer will hold it in place. you are very welcome if my insight was any use to you. but it is a very simple solution.

I like the fact that it is toxics free, but the top plate doesn't stay up and it is annoying. Especially when it is too hot to put it back.

We were given a similar Cuisinart grill a couple years ago, and absolutely hated it. Fortunately, it fell of the counter and broke into many pieces. So I was very skeptical when the other half said we should order this one. When this Blue Diamond grill arrived, I was surprised. It was much smaller than the Cuisinart monstrosity. It's the perfect size to grill 2 burgers, 2 steaks, or 2 skewers of chicken breast. The first time I used it, I was blown away. Instead of the 3 incomprehensible dials on that Cuisinart garbage, this has one dial to control the temperature. I intentionally cooked some burger patties with cheese and bacon mixed in to see how it handles sticky stuff like burned cheese. After dinner, I popped the plates off, hit them with some Dawn Power Wash and they nearly rinsed clean. Minimal light scrubbing with a wet dishrag and they were done.Pro's - Easy to clean! It's an excellent size when cooking for 2. The grease cup actually catches the run-off, unlike my George Foreman grills which seem to leak in places I never imagined.Con's - Not big enough if you're cooking for more than 2 people.
