How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.
Excellent
Excellent is 7.5 to 8.4.

Pros
- The listing prints a 3-year limited warranty; we kept no Cuisinart text on what it covers
- The largest listed cooking area here at 760 sq in
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com
- Rust does not lead the critical reviews we read
Cons
- No credentialed test of this model turned up; the Cuisinart griddles the testers panned and praised are other models
- No hood and no lid
- One owner measured about 8 by 36 inches at the front and rear that the burners do not reach
- Only 3 left in stock when we read it, and its Kitchen & Dining rank is far off the griddle leaders
- One owner says folding it means flipping it over, and that it does not roll folded
