So how difficult are they to work on when there’s a problem? I’m in market for one as well and most of the 1 star reviews are dealing with electrical issues or huge temp swings.

For mine, it holds temp steady until I open lid to flip the food or whatever. Once temps starts dropping, it will continue to drop until I turn it off completely, then turn back on and reset to desired temp - the it climbs right back up. I haven't done it, but they have customer service that will walk you through reprogramming or editing the settings to make it work properly. If it's close to same price, I would try a different brand (just my experience).

I will say the food comes out amazing when the unit behaves.
