We really like how thin this griddle is. The fold-up legs makes it great for storage. There is also another set of pop-down legs that allows you to elevate the back of the griddle about one inch higher than the front. The slope allows grease etc to run down to a plastic catch-tray at the front. The catch tray is removes easily for cleaning. The unit easy to clean and can be fully immersed in water after disconnecting the removable cord/temperature control dial.
The pan is flat with just a small ridge (~1/4 inch) around the cooking surface perimeter. This allows unencumbered spatula access to the cook surface so you can easily flip eggs, pancakes, bacon, etc. The ridge also channels liquids forward to the catch tray.
The griddle heats up quickly (about a minute or so). We cooked 3 batches of pancakes, and per the instructions, we did NOT use any non-stick spray. We had no food sticking issues. We used small sized pan lid to cook the top side of some eggs (so you don’t have to flip them & risk breaking the yolk). It cooks eggs quite well. The manual comes with a handy quick-reference temperature/timetable guide for cooking various foods. We copied it, laminated it with contact paper, and tied it to the cord.
Eggs-over-easy (i.e. actually flipping them) worked great. Adding/melting cheese to the top side of the eggs worked fine as well. Again, we had no food sticking issues.
The price ($40) is quite reasonable.

This little Presto Tilt-N-Fold griddle is fantastic. 1200 Watts of heating power with a removable control that just pulls out with temp settings from WARM to 400 degrees. The entire griddle, minus the power cord and control is immersible making for easy clean-up. The folding legs are really handy when there are storage space limitations and who does not have that problem. My wife got a whole lb of bacon on it at one time which made her really happy. We did not tip the griddle right away because the bacon cooks better in grease than without but it was so easy to use the tilt legs when she was ready to drain it off. They also have a nice rim all around the griddle except for the grease hole so grease will only go to the drip pan. Truly non stick too.

As I tried to plug in the heat control before reading the instructions, I notice a very smart safety feature included in the design of this griddle. You cannot plug the heat control in without unfolding the legs. This prevents heating the griddle too close to a surface. Not only does this griddle have a tilt feature for drainage of grease, but there appears to be a slight slope built into the griddle so that the grease will drain to the center and into the tray, rather than collecting along the side. This also helps when cleaning the griddle. The heat control takes the guess work out of cooking heat sensitive items such as pancakes and sandwiches, especially with the temperature – timetable in the instructions. The griddle fits perfectly on my stove. My favorite pancakes fill the plate, and I can cook two at a time on this griddle. For the first three days I cooked every meal on this griddle.
