Not perfect, but well worth the money!
This griddle is worth buying at the low price and I'd recommend it to anyone with a few things pointed out.
The high points:
*Size. This 22-inch griddle is roughly 25% larger than other griddles I've owned. Awesome.
*Nonstick surface. After 3 months of several times a week use, the nonstick shows no signs of wearing out. It's super easy to wash too!
*Low profile. This griddle is more convenient to store than past griddles I've owned due to the low profile. And when you remove the legs(which is easy) it can store with the cookie sheets!
Things to take note of:
*First and foremost is the textured surface. It has a very tight pattern of little diamond shapes. I think the technical term is "knurled." Not sure what this accomplishes, but it hasn't seemed to hurt anything. I will say that the effect is very noticeable on pancakes and fried eggs.
*Uneven heating surface. Every electric griddle I've ever owned has had this problem. The griddle gets hottest near the heating element and will even leave stripes on your pancakes. It's a necessary evil I'm willing to live with to gain the convenience of an electric griddle.
*The whole griddle is bowed toward the center. When it first came, the griddle didn't have this problem, but over time it has reared it's ugly head. Now eggs and bacon grease both run toward the middle. Quite irritating when you are trying to keep foods separate while cooking.
All in all this is a great griddle for the money and I'm glad I bought it.
*Update Feb 1st, 2016* The griddle is now bowed considerably toward the center. There's no question anymore of trying to cook eggs anywhere but the middle. The nonstick surface is still great; virtually nothing sticks to it and it's showing almost no signs of wear.
