This griddle has been great. I’ve used it three times in the last two weeks since I got it and found no issues. I wanted this particular model because I felt like it was not too big and not to small. Originally I was only in the market for a griddle and not an air fryer. However it has been a great addition and worth the extra cost. I like that I can cook side dishes in the air fryer in the time it takes me to cook the main course on the flat top, without it using up any of my griddle space. Thi...

Perfect size
Assembly was ~1hr with my 10yr old son's "help". Only needed a handheld phillips screwdriver. The 30" griddle size is perfect. The ignitor is super simple and works every time. The air fryer is HUGE and is the main reason I chose this Blackstone model #2257. If you're wondering, the air fryer is ELECTRIC. It is not heated with the propane source. And the air fryer can be used independently of the griddle. After 1hr of seasoning (used the Blackstone jar of seasoning), it took another few uses ...
The assembly by Lowe's is poor/delivery terrible,
The Blackstone griddle is great for the entire outdoor family! The multi- burner gives you the option on cooking your vittles to perfection. However, the assembly by Lowe's was very questionable, propane bracket wasn't attached, just hanging, the paper towel rack was in the wrong place, the bag holder was installed incorrectly, maybe it was their initial assembly, still no excuse, the griddle was uneven, and the delivery guys (2), moved the grill like it was their first time also, didn't kno...

So Happy To Finally Get A Blackstone
We just got the grill, it was damaged so we got a great price. I was able to repair the sheet metal and repaint the repaired area with high temperature paint. So looking forward to the first meal!

Beware of Sharp Edges on the Air Fryer Rack!
We have had a lot of problems with the air fryer. First, myself, my husband and my son all got deep cuts on our hands from the rack; the bottom edges are very sharp. I think you should look into this issue to see if others have also experienced this and recall this product it's going to hurt someone really bad, especially a child. The temperature is very hard to control, if you open the drawer to look at your food it instantly drops temperature. Lastly, the drawer got stuck and we had to alm...

Excellent all around
We feed around 12 people 3 meals a day on the weekends and this is an excellent piece to do so with. The sides fold down and make the footprint very manageable for fitting in our enclosed trailer. The air fryer option is definitely worth it if you have power nearby, we love cooking okra/fries/ect down there while cooking burgers on top. The griddle will work as a standard Blackstone griddle without power, you only need power if you want to run the air fryer

Problem with Lowes order departments
I ordered this Blackstone grill. Opened a Lowes CC account. Order was to be assembled and free delivery, it was delivered NOT assembled. I was told it must be picked up and returned Lowes Shipping Department and it will be assembled and returned to me in 2-3 says. Never was not returned due a Lowes staf person canceled the order and credited my account. Totally wrong. I cant get answers who made that decision and why. Very frustrated!!

Great Grill ?
Withstood a Family BBQ night of around 40 people. Only lit on fire once, made for a good show along with dinner. So in my opinion, a bonus. Highly recommend. Good additional features, with the tool hangers for ease of access without dirtying things up.

Lowes has been out of this griddle for over a month. Currently it is on sale for $499 however the sale will end before it is back in stock. Will Lowes honor the sale price when back in stock?
