- 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.

Pros
- It wipes clean while the coating lasts; its manual says to season the plate after each use, while Pit Boss's ceramic-top care sheet says it does not need seasoning
- A two-year term, a year longer than most of the cheap griddles
- The griddle lifts off its stand for tailgating
Cons
- Five of the ten newest critical reviews are about the coating, three of them on this 4-burner size
- The manual names wood, silicone or nylon as the best utensils, a care sheet says metal can chip the ceramic, and one owner says Pit Boss sells no bare-steel replacement top
- Its warranty does not cover "scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks", which it calls wear and tear
- 13% of ratings sit at one star, the worst tail on this page
- One owner reports the fold-out tabletop legs buckling once the griddle is off its stand

“Got it assembled and did my first run with burger and egg and it's amazing how non-stick this thing is and so easy to clean.Would be a 5 star review if they could figure out how to ship it without it getting bent and dinged up in the process.”— macguyver13, Amazon · Verified owner
