They highlight the generous 572 sq in cooking surface and the convenience of an 18-lb hopper with easy clean-out, positioning the grill as a versatile, pro-level option for backyard cooks who value stability and precise heat control, even though it lacks modern Wi-Fi connectivity.
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.
