- 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.

“This little fella works wonders. Easy to setup, easy to use and clean. Very happy with the quality of the cooking surface. My only complaint is the adjustable feet are just plastic spin knobs. If you put in on a stainless steel counter it can slide around a little. I ordered a mat to fix this issue. Easy fix but sad they didn't think of that themselves.”— TheGuyDude, Amazon · Verified owner
