We primarily bought this as a panini maker. It works great. It’s easy to set up for function, temperature and time. The temp settings in their recipes work well broadly so excellent results. It’s very easy to maintain as well as the plates are dishwasher friendly. It turned out pancakes fast for breakfast. Have not yet used the grill for burgers or meat but looking forward to doing that. We live in an apartment so a large dedicated grill isn’t really an option and this works great. I would recommend buying this.

We’ve been shopping around for a countertop grill for a few months, reading reviews and making in store inspections of the different products offered. The Cruisinart GRIDDLER FIVE suits our needs beyond our expectations. It’s very easy to operate, holds temperatures steady and is a breeze to clean. And, it fits well with the other Cruisinart Appliances we have in our kitchen. We have not experienced any of the bad results talked about in the negative reviews. In fact, we like this unit so much that we purchased one for both of our adult children and their familes.

Convenient grill/griddle that I use regularly. Nonstick finish works well.

Heats up quickly, works well, and I like the versatility of having the choice to use the griddle or grill, in addition to availability of waffle plates (extra charge). I also like that you can choose a specific temperature rather than just Low, Medium or High like other products. That said, the handle is a bit too long so that when you put the top down, it doesn’t lay flat. So if you make something like an egg, it runs down the grill toward the middle. This didn’t stop me from keeping it because the other things outweigh this for me, I just make my eggs in my grill pan on the stove instead.

The reason I chose the Griddler Five is because it had removable grills. They can just go in the dishwasher and the fact that they are reversible is a bonus. I’ve used the open or closed position and have had great success.

This is my favorite new appliance. We love paninis and this is so easy to use and clean. A bit more expensive than some but the additional features are definitely worth paying for.

I ordered non-brand compatible waffle plates. Between those and the grill plates it comes with, I use it everyday. I wish there was a way to turn the volume/beeping sounds OFF when setting the time and temperature. It’s annoying.

This is my second purchase of this grill/griddle. I replaced the original after several years because the clip on the left side of the grill no longer held the grill in place. I decided to purchase another one in July because I really liked the product. Unfortunately, after 6 weeks the same thing happened again. I called customer service and am waiting for a replacement. They were very accommodating I hope this one is satisfactory.

This is no our second one. Many uses in the kitchen. Like it so much that when the first one got old after many years of use I bought a new one. Great for grilled sandwiches and meats as well as bacon, eggs and pancakes.

What a fabulous product. It grills chicken with perfection and hamburgers were great. I enjoyed making waffles as well. I would highly recommend this product!
