Have latest and greatest 1500 W grill and griddle model! LOVE IT! Powerful, great design, and so easy to clean. Debuted it last weekend for Shabu-shabu hot pot and grill entertaining on big table with the leaves pulled out! Did ace job with fresh prawns, spicy pork gyoza, salmon, Shabu-shabu ribeye, mushrooms, and pork belly! They redesigned the lid to optionally stay connected to the base unit, and now the water pan pulls right out of the front, for easier filling. Definitely high value for our needs.
I wipe it down (grill or griddle) with Bounty paper towels while it is still hot. Easy to wipe down the base. The aluminum insert needs to be cleaned (sink or dish washer) it will stain. No worries.
Nothing special about this grill but it does what it says, i cooked steaks, sausage, burgers, ribs, corn, peppers/ onions and asparagus. Not like outdoor simply because no flame or flare ups but does remove most to all smoke but not smell not even range hood does that
