What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy, rated Recommended. "Like most electric griddles, this model does not feature a removable plate," but "the griddle is dishwasher-safe and can be fully submerged once the heat control unit is removed," and ATK gave it top marks for cleanup. "We detected some hot spots, particularly near the power connection, but that didn't affect our cooking results." Tops out at 400°F vs the Ninja's 500°F. Neither listing states a warranty.
