We purchased two, one as a gift to my sister. We use it all the time. Very easy to assemble and perfect size. Very happy with the quality of the materials.

Cooking Japanese style hibachi food. Have yet to master the egg toss into my hat--getting very messy. We gave away out 1 year old Kitchen Aid grill.

Practically smoke free cooking! Great griddle cooking. We don't miss the grill marks. Grill burgers alongside mushroom & onions, bacon and toasted burger buns for the best tasting super burgers ever.

A massive cooking surface to grill vegetables, shrimp, fish, etc. This thing is amazing. It does require a 20# propane tank rather than the traditional 15# tank, so you will have to buy one and get it filled at a propane vendor rather than do the cylinder exchange. Nice casters to roll it around the patio. The surface is extremely heavy, so I don't think I want to move it too much, but it is the perfect addition to a traditional grill so you can cook all your sides or things too messy on a grill. The cover is not tight and does not have form fitting velcro or a drawstring to keep it on in the wind. I just got a bungee cord to keep it covered when not in use and to prevent the wind from blowing it off.

Good quality cheap hardware. The screws are horrible and make assembly way harder than it has to be. The griddle is good and the quality is good but the treason i gave it three stars is because the hardware to assemble is so bad that it causes a struggle and issues during assembly. Also some of the angles are difficult to reach with regular tools. Overall the hardware killed the rating.

Assembly was rather simple and instructions were layed out well. I followed the instructions for seasoning the grill and also utilized a few youtube videos from others. I bought a temp gun and as soon as it got up to 580 degrees F, I could see it warping immediately. Luckily it was not too bad and I ended up re-adjusting the rear height to accommodate so it did not run off to the back as the center was bulging slightly. The heat dissipation when on low or high varies about 50 degrees from right to left so it was good I was able to check the temp before actually grilling. You can see in the photo the heat points are not evenly distributed. The cover (bag is under grill in first pic) was put on July4th,22 for the 1st time and as of 7/22/22 it is already fading. It also accumulates moisture resulting in the need to clean it and reapply oil when not in use. After 2 times in 1 week of this, I just added extra oil. For the price, it will do the job but sad the burners do not heat more evenly and really hot in the center and that the grill cover will need replacement much sooner than later!

Assembly was very easy. Phillips screwdriver was all that was needed. I have used it twice and it performed very well. I seasoned the cooking surface, and the surface finish is great. I have three negative complaints. The front 4 inches of the griddle surface has no direct heat under it, so that temps are lower. Some might consider this a feature. The sides of the burner box to griddle have a gap and the heat coming out of that area is enough to singe the hair on your arm. They need to add heat shields like several of the other brand griddles. My final issue was the soft cover. Itis very short (doesnt go down to the shelf, let alone the wheels.) The cover has little velcro strips sewn on the ends, but it won't even hold the cover on during slight winds.

Love it

Purchased this for my dad. I read so many reviews for Blackstone, off brand and members mark flat griddles. Blackstone has many negative reviews of coming in damaged. The off brands had many negative reviews stating they did not cook even. Members Mark negative reviews were majority for rusting. Since this was for a Christmas present Sams club had a sale on this item. I purchased the protection plan just in case. My dad read the directions and seasoned it maybe 4 times before he has used it. Every time he uses it he seasons it like the directions say. He has had it since Christmas and LOVES it. He has used it so many times and has yet to tell me that there is rust. So my advice is take care your griddle and you will not be disappointed.

We loved the idea of having and outdoor griddle. However, this one missed the mark. The severe warping and uneven heating made cooking on it an impossible chore. We used it 3 times before returning. Hamburgers were charred on one side but not cooked through. Bacon turned to ash on the hit spots and pancakes the same. The warping created nearly a half inch dip between each burner and cooking directly on top of the printer's resulting immediate burning. The store manager was outright shocked when we returned it to see how terrible it looked. The flimsy cover was stuck to the griddle top after the first use and proceeded to crack and break by day two.
