Love ours! We got our first one as a wedding gift and laughed ... until we finally used it! Very easy to clean. We do steaks, chicken, pork chops on them. The fat drips right off, but the meat isn't dry. There is a recipe book included for ideas.
We're on our second one now. I don't think there is too much difference in the models. Our first one had plates that couldn't be removed and the new ones come out for washing.
