Great experience so far with some learning curve. I traveled 3 hours from my location to pick up from the nearest club. Suggestion: the cover should be redesigned to extend to the back fully, similar to Blackstone griddle. Dust enters through the back. The product is too good for the back not to be covered.

I was just about to buy a Blackstone and was in Sam's and seen this. Went home did a little research and read the reviews. After some consideration I took a chance and picked one up the next day. A fantastic purchase. I have cooked on it already over a dozen times from smash burgers, to philly cheese steak, to chicken quesadillas, and several breakfast. No complaints so far and saved hundreds compared to a comparable blackstone.

First off, - it's a big box! The price is good and it's a good value. Where it differs from the competing leading brand is not the functionality. It is the assembly and the fit and finish. The 3 to 4 hrs. It takes to put the 100 parts together would be not so bad if the result would be less wobbly. The underlying frame doesn't have the expected stiffness and missaligns doors and drawers as soon as you move the grill over slightly uneven ground like a deck or grass. It makes it really hard to level the cooking surface. However, once this is overcome you will enjoy a great addition to your outdoor kitchen and like me, will probably never use your other grills again.

The griddle is very good. The problem I had is you have to put it almost 100% together yourself. Also, if you set it on a little bit of an uneven surface, the draws and the door hit each other. As far as cooking on it, best thing I ever did buying it. MAKE SURE THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE TO PUT IT TOGETHER! THE TOP IS VERY HEAVY.

Absolutely love this griddle! The price was definitely right, when compared to Blackstone and other similar griddles. We have used it now for over a month quite frequently. It was very easy to season, and there is a bit of a learning curve involved, if you've never cooked on a griddle before, in learning how many burners to use, where your hottest areas are, and how you can use some areas of the griddle for warming and sauteing without turning on all the burners. Some assembly is involved and a little heavy lifting, but my husband was able to do it all without me, and only managed to put a tiny unnoticeable dent in it in the process. The only way to improve it from my perspective would be to add a magnetic strip in the front of the side tables for quick access to tools, instead of them being on the side. The two drawers are really nice to have. I do recommend purchasing a mat to protect your floors from splatters. I picked up a Cuisinart one at a great price.

We love our griddle! It cooks quickly and easy to clean. We have had it for a week now and have cooked five out of seven meals on it. Easy assembly, the directions were easy to follow. Wish they had labeled the doors to make it even easier but we figured it out.

Very good griddle for the price I was looking at the blackstone pro then found this one which is almost identical for $200 less and the one from Sam's club is all stainless the blackstone is not it's just painted silver. It was pretty simple to assemble directions are easy to follow. Once I followed directions on seasoning it up then started to cook on it I realized it runs hot when using all 5 burners so I just use 3 burners one on each end and the one in the middle. You can use all 5 to get it preheated quicker if need be but I recommend to use just 3 burners to cook. Bonus you will use less propane that way also. It toast bread really quick I got a blackstone keep warm rack so I can toast bread then keep warm on rack it's sweet. Then I can focus on cooking makes killer smash burgers,philly steak,roast beef French dips, can make a huge breakfast all at once cooks bacon so good make a dozen scrambled eggs in just minutes freaking awesome I season with oil or bacon grease before and after every cook it is making some ridiculous tasting food even the toast for breakfast taste soo good I recommend you get this griddle if your looking for $299 you can not beat it!! I know people with blackstone I actually think this one is just as good or better in all aspects. Just get blackstone as accessories!!

I love our new griddle. It has a large cooking surface which makes it easy to cook different foods all at once for a large family. We have cooked every meal on our griddle. What I love the most is it cooks evenly from side to side, and you can control the temperature from one side to the other.

Nice packaging, easy assembly (2 person lift for the cooktop/hood assembly), exposed welds all look perfect, hidden welds are all acceptable. The propane flex hose reaches my bottles, but should have been a couple inches longer to avoid stress on the hose. Burners light with no issues, and it cooks as expected. I don't like how taut the propane hose is for the bottle connection but it can be connected so i won't take away a star for that.

Looks and seems like a quality grill/griddle. Heavier than expected and box much larger than expected. Pickup requires a pickup truck or larger SUV. Time will tell on the longevity. Gas supply could be just a little longer for ease of installing propane tank.
