Turbo Grills 32-Inch Built-In Natural Gas Teppanyaki - TEPANNG

The griddle seems well built, but like others mentioned the instruction or better said the here you go figure it out parts manual is terrible, the power supply had 4 welded screws and nowhere to be mounted on griddle, ended up mounting on the stone of my outdoor kitchen, I ended up with twi pieces left that I couldn't find any where in the manual, they're next to the griddle in one of thr pictures, I also took picture of how I mounted the power supply ended up making a bracket out of aluminum plate to bolt under the counter, but other that it was pretty much drop, plumb gas and plug power supply and your ready to cook.

Finally got griddle installed and love it. Seasoned and low temped. Then next day brought up temp slowly and got screaming hot. Zero complaints. Looks great with full set up. Definitely recommend!!!!

very nice griddle and easy to use, I prefer this griddle than my BBQ grill due to its versatility. You could cook omelet on it, you could cook cheesesteak and burger on it. You could cook shrimp, chicken, fish, steak and fried rice on it. You could even cook fajita and carne asada without losing the juice of the marinades. The smaller portion of food like shrimp or crumbly food like fish and burger won't fall to the burner between grill grates.

very nice hibachi griddle , perfect for cooking fajita, Hibachi shrimp & fish

It is very nice griddle.

Very nice griddle.

This is my first built in griddle. I've had it a couple weeks now and have cooked a half dozen or so meals on it. Everything has turned out great. The griddle is very easy to operate, temperature is pretty easy to regulate, and its easy to clean. I'd give it 5 stars but there are a few minor items that I caution buyers about, not to dissuade you from buying it, but to prevent you from making the same mistakes I did. For one, the manual gives cutout dimensions for the grill and cautions the installer to make sure you measure your final countertop height and subtract that from your cutout dimension. It doesn't caution you to measure any additional depth you are putting on your frame with the likes of cement board or brick siding. In my case, I didn't account for those things and I ended up with an extra inch of cutout space at the back that I've had to go back and cover. Secondly, during the first use, the grill took a very long time to reach desired heat. I had it on high for 30 minutes before the surface hit 300F. Not sure if this was normal for new griddles of this construction, but the manual is silent on it and customer service wasn't sure. After initial use and building up a coating on the surface, the grill heats up pretty good now in about 5 minutes. Third, if you need to disassemble the grill to get to the burners or to make any adjustments, its not the easiest thing in the world to do. You need a certain type of phillips screwdriver to reach some of the screws that hold the plate in place. Other things of note: Delivery was as expected. The customer service when I called and placed the order was excellent. The grill is heavy so you'll need two people to lift it. I think this is an excellent "Starter" model as its not too expensive. I look forward to cooking on it for years to come.

I had high hopes when I bought this griddle top. It looked great, all SS and drop-in. However, after a few uses, there are enough major design flaws that I cannot recommend this product. For starters, the griddle top is not sealed (welded) between the griddle top and sides allowing grease to flow into seams around the edge. This might be okay except that the drip pan basin is poorly designed. The pan sits in the basin at the front of the griddle. The width of the pan is shorter than the width of the basin. Because the griddle top has a seam along its outer edges, oil can flow in the seam and enter the sides of the basin, bypassing the drip pan and accumulating under it in the basin. This is a mess to clean up! My next issue is the cleanup of the grill itself. The griddle top is easy to clean after use, however, there is a SS vent cover on the back of the griddle top where heat exhausts from under the griddle. This vent gets coated in splattered oil and it blackens. You have to remove this vent cover and scrub the heck out of it to get it back to looking anywhere near new. My third issue is that the SS cover that comes with this unit is not designed to drain water away from the sides or front of the griddle. This is not a problem if your unit is located where it will not get any rain/water on it. However, this allows any water that comes off of the cover to go into the sides, back, and front of the griddle. Now that is okay as there is a catch pan underneath the unit but it will fill up in heavy rain. However, the main concern here is that water does get into the drip pan basin. If you fire up the grill and do not notice this when oil bypasses the drip pan and enters the basin, see the comment from above, you WILL get violent oil splattering as the hot oil vaporizes the water which is in a tight space. I experienced this firsthand - not pleasant!
