Featuring a plastic lower housing, self-adjusting stainless steel cover and arms of die-cast aluminum with plastic panini-style handle, the GR-11 operates on 1200 watts of power. Its drip tray slides under the unit, and adjustable front feet help with grease drainage. Weighing 15.70lbs, it measures 12.80″L x 10.90″W x 6.00″H, providing 150 square inches of cooking surface in open position.
The top portion of the griddler folds down so you can use both if you need to use both as a cooking surface area. The stainless steel brushed finish Griddler deluxe and Elite is easy to use and to you do not any hassle to cleaning grinder after using. Both have enough space on their backside for drip tray removal, so you can easily wash them inside with a dishwasher. However, all parts are dishwasher safe, and inside the box, they have a scraper. So you can gently do its clean of its cooking surfaces but do not wipe them too hard. Wipe down the plates to remove any leftover food.
The size when it is opened is more a problem when you place it on a standard kitchen counter-top with kitchen cabinets above it. The height of the unit makes it hard to fully open it.

I have not really read to much more about that complaint.
On top of all of that, the Cuisinart has the much longer warranty; three years compared to one. In my opinion, this is a no-brainer, enjoy more features and a better warranty. Both products have a share of complaints as well, but nothing to suggest underlying issues. If you want to find the stylish popular kitchen item. Removable parts are dishwasher safe, making your life even more convenient so you don’t have to waste time manually washing them all down.
Do not touch the arms or top cover during or immediately after cooking, as they become hot during use. We recommend you wear oven mitts when handling the Griddler® Elite to prevent burns. The first time you use the Griddler® Elite it may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit. This is common to appliances with nonstick surfaces.
