Professional editors at Home Depot and Lowe's focus on the GA6402S's high 74,000 BTU output and its cabinet-style storage, positioning it as a powerful yet convenient option for large-scale outdoor cooking.

“unexpectedly electric”
“fool-proof results”
“Sharp looks, Amplifier grates for conductive searing”
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.
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.
