Skip if
Skip it if the highest buyer confidence is important. A 4.2-star average with 604 reviews is decent but noticeably below the 4.6 to 4.7 star ratings achieved by Presto griddles at similar or lower prices. The higher weight at 7.68 lb may also be a consideration.

Overview
At $74.99, the Starfrit 024402 is priced higher than several well-reviewed Presto ceramic and aluminum griddles that offer similar or better buyer satisfaction scores. The 24-inch cooking length is a strong selling point and puts it in the large-format category alongside the Presto 07062. The 1,500 watt element matches the standard for this size class.
The 7.68 lb weight is the heaviest among consumer griddles in this group, which may reduce how often buyers are willing to move and store it. The 13 x 24 x 4 inch footprint is substantial, and the 4-inch height is slightly taller than most competing models. Aluminum construction is a solid choice for heat distribution, but no surface coating or nonstick spec is listed, which affects how buyers should approach food release and cleaning.
The 4.2-star average from 604 buyers reflects a product that works adequately but has not earned the category-leading satisfaction of the top Presto models. Buyers exploring this range should compare it closely against the Presto 07062, which offers similar dimensions at a slightly lower price and a significantly higher buyer rating.
Performance notes
The 1,500 watt element spread across a 13 x 24 inch aluminum surface matches the heat density of midrange competitor models. The 4-inch height is higher than typical for a flat griddle, which may affect spatula angle. Aluminum distributes heat efficiently, but without a stated nonstick coating, buyers should expect to use oil or butter to prevent sticking. The 7.68 lb weight, while manageable, makes this one of the heavier options for everyday movement and storage.
What buyers say
604 buyers rating this griddle 4.2 stars suggests it performs adequately without excelling. The lower score relative to Presto models at similar prices may reflect preferences around surface quality, weight, or cleanup. There is no indication of major reliability concerns at that review count, but buyer enthusiasm is more measured than for the category leaders.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Starfrit 024402 compare to the Presto 07062 in size and price?
Both offer 24 to 26 inch cooking lengths and 1,500 watts. The Presto 07062 is longer at 26.12 inches, costs slightly less at $62.99, and has 8,292 ratings at 4.6 stars versus the Starfrit's 604 ratings at 4.2 stars. On all major metrics the Presto 07062 is the more buyer-validated option.
Why does this griddle weigh more than competing models?
At 7.68 lb, the Starfrit 024402 is heavier than the Presto models of similar size, which range from 5.7 to 6.5 lb. The difference may come from construction thickness or component materials. The practical effect is slightly more effort to move and store compared to lighter competitors.
Does the Starfrit 024402 have a nonstick surface?
No nonstick specification is listed in the available product data. Buyers should plan to use oil or butter when cooking foods prone to sticking. Before first use, reviewing the care instructions included with the unit is recommended.
