product bought reconditioned amamazon therefore slightly cheaper; no visible difference with a new unit! about the device is a very nice plancha, powerful (3000W) as effective as a gas plancha! The two cooking zones are very practical for example to cook the meat or fish on one side and vegetables has a different temperature than the other Easy cleaning with warm water and white vinegar Beware the allowable power by the electric jack where you plug in the plancha, at first I did crack up the line that was not powerful enough and I had to connect me directly to the electrical panel by means of a extension and no problem
