The device itself is difficult, which makes it extremely stable. We once had an old "lightweight", which has slipped away if you have met the pan is not equal to the opening. That does not happen here.
Under the cover plate there are 2 parallel heating coils that heat both pans, as well as barbecue or stone slab evenly. A fact that I read here in any review, but this makes the device in my view even higher quality.
The heat output is enormous, so that was "hot stone" even without preheating within about 15-20 min. ready for use.
As recommended, we had rubbed the stone with cooking oil before starting up (which is to be done once before use).
Having the first time "sizzling" with the stone, the panic was there ever again get so encrusted stone clean. But it was totally easy. We have the stone with 2 wet kitchen towels (which fit exactly the way) covered, 15 min. maintained and carefully deported with a glass scraper for ceramic hobs the softened crust. Perfect. Everything was gone. Great. And it could be seen no discoloration. Excellent!
The pan itself can be cleaned in the dishwasher, as they are enameled.
When we used it, the melted cheese very smoothly thanks to the double heating coil. For the operation had for us heat to 4 proved ideal (in advance we had to stage 6, so full power the stone preheated).
The removal of the cheese from the pan has worked flawlessly.
Sorry, no scraper are included, but we knew that (is yes there) and had extra which concerned plastic, as wood is inappropriate, in my view, difficult to clean and will rapidly become scruffy.
After 2 hours, raclette pleasure the table glass plate was below the unit only moderately warm, so no danger for sensitive wooden tables.
The device itself can be cleaned super easy, because you can remove the entire cover. So easy to get into every corner.
What is difficult to see from the pictures, the pans have the device small guide lugs and a slight depression.
It was said in another review that the pans have no "parking" and slip out when the table neighbor reinschiebt his pans and touched his own. This is not so, the pans are safe in the unit.
The cable winder on the ground is class, because there is nothing on and the device also has coiled cable with a firm footing in the closet.
Soon we will also test the grill plate (we had not), and the impression I'm going to supply later.
All in all I would recommend this device without hesitation and would buy it again at any time!
