I ended up with their smaller unit, so this has been lightly used. The griddle plate has some chips along the upper edges from handling. There's also a few small chips on the cooking portion itself. These are approximately 1/16 - 1/8" in diameter (please see pics). I called Ninja & they sent a replacement, which is also included. Since the chips from the original plates never enlarged, this plate remains unused. No performance issues & functions as new.
