    Seems like a good deal to me. I paid $74 for mine awhile back and think it is worth every penny. Did I need it? No. Did that stop me from getting it? No again.

    Yes.....but really don't see that saving $10 or so one way or the other would really drive your decision to purchase. If you want it, get it. I believe your perceived value will be good even if you paid $85. Respectfully, if you want and need one, go get it. Your $20 savings at the end of the day will have little impact on your enjoyment value.

  • Yes it is a good deal but I would consider the 22 inch from HSN.  Its nice having two burners so you can cook for a bunch of people or use one side for a warming/staging area by turning one the burner for a minute to warm it up then turning it back off.
