Yes, it is as easy to clean as any other grill I've used and no, I've noticed no chipping.

It does not chip. It is a much higher-grade metal than a regular grill plate. The metal is thicker making it more sturdy. I have not been disappointed.

it is easy to clean, much better than the original grill. had it for almost a year and is still in great shape.

I am not cooking directly to the surface. I have a special pan that stay always on the top. I don't clean it if any residue from grill pan drops. I did not also scratch it. It seams fine so far as a support only

It's fairly easy to clean. But it is never clean clean. It's always a little greasy feeling. It doesn't chip though. It's solid iron all the way through. Very heavy and sturdy.

Easy clean up depends on what you cook on it, just like any other grill. Mine has not chipped.

Yes, the porcelain enamel coated non-stick grate is a snap to remove and clean. I clean mine after every use.

Yes, it is easy to clean. The base (where it sits) is plastic and can be easily rinsed.

I think that seems to be normal because mine does. Sometimes it is convenient because you can easily take the grates off and wash it.

It is relatively easy to clean. The "grey" surface you see in the picture is actually glass, so very easy to wipe off. In order to help keep it clean, I generally place a layer of plastic wrap over the top of it when weighing items without a plate or container, such as cheese. Most of the time I use a plate or bowl on top of the weighing surface, so the only cleaning required is for occasional spills.

It is easy to clean but being soft wood it can be scratched easily. Being covered with varnish, plates or wet glasses may damage the finish. We cover it with a canvas for group meals. I hope I could be useful

I find it really easy to clean. Since it is such a solid piece it does not flex like the mesh ones I was using and I find it personally to fit seamlessly with the sink and looks great!

I have found very easy to clean, but I use cooking spray prior to cooking. They are Porcelain coated. Use this grill of our balcony and not only attractive but doesn't very nice job.

It is easy to clean. The batter doesn't get stuck inside the corners. Inside is not seamless but bread comes out nice and smooth

Yes, it is easy to clean. I've had it in daily use for about two months and have had no problems at all.

I found it very easy to clean. The entire top comes off easily and the base is one solid piece that can be washed out without any difficulty.

I have used mine sporadically. After 1 winter, the pizza grate itself is pretty rusty (stored in the unit when not used). Some other rust areas showing up around the edges. There is touch-up paint for that, which I haven't used yet. Can't say for sure what I am going to do about the rusty grate. It was working nicely for pizza, but I may have to use a pizza stone on top of the grate.

Very easy to keep clean as they provide a slotted tool to scrape clean the grate. The heat turns any residual to ashes. I use a stainless steel Brillo pad type cleaner that cleans the top ridges of the grill surface. Just a couple quick back and forth scrubs and it is clean. I have cooked out on it 3 or 4 times a week for months and never have had a drop of grease in the drip tray because it all burns to ashes. 2 thumbs up!!!

I don't have any scratches in mine but I keep the grates down all the time. My sink get used a lot too!

I will generously rub vegetable oil over the entire grate while hot every time it looks dry. I would suggest doing this before you use it for the first time. This keeps the grates conditioned and rust free. If you do this to any cast iron cooking surface it is very easy to clean. I use a cheap Dollar General grill brush. Works great. This grill is a little pricey for the size but I love it and I think you will too. Hope this helps.

The brick is a good idea to use . I have used mine without the grate with no problems
