No independent professional reviews were found; retailer descriptions highlight the grill's professional‑grade performance, even heating, and versatility, but the lack of third‑party testing leaves claims unverified.
Professional reviewers commend the Current Model G Griddle for its electric simplicity, impressive 700 °F searing temperature, and modern app integration that offers precise temperature control and remote monitoring. They describe the cooking results as "fool-proof" and note that the unit delivers better precision and juiciness than comparable gas flat-tops, though they point out a slower mid-range heat-up, a barebones companion app, and a premium price point.

“fool-proof results”
“Sharp looks, Amplifier grates for conductive searing”
Everyday users echo the pros of easy plug-in operation, high-heat searing, and convenient cleanup, especially praising the app-guided recipes. Recurring complaints focus on app reliability, slower-than-expected heat-up to medium temperatures, and the underused dual-zone capability, but overall satisfaction remains high with no widespread failures reported.
