This will produce a quesadilla with just the right crispiness and is very easy to operate and inexpensive, however the clean-up is a pain due to the metal plates having so many grooves and raised surfaces. Additionally, the quesadillas it produces are quite thin with little filling. It is not possible to make a thick, heartily filled quesadilla. If one tries melted cheese will run out and spill on the counter top. Worse yet the melted cheese and grease will go in between the bottom metal plate and the plastic housing with no way to get it out except when it is stored on end (one of the advertised features) upon which the cheese and grease will then run out and onto the shelf or cabinet it is stored in.
