This unit is marketed and priced as a commercial unit, functions well, but DOES NOT feature replaceable grids, unlike other models from this line. So, after a few months of typical usage in a commercial setting (we let it limp along for six), it is destined for the scrap heap, with no feasible means of prolonging its life. I see that the product page has been updated recently, but before that it even featured the manufacturer's video on how to change grids on their various units. If you're not going to lease a waffle maker, make sure you buy one with replaceable grids.
