I have one, and I HATE it. It's got deep cavities between the bars, and no matter how long it soaks, or gets scrubbed, there is always a layer of "schmutz" that never comes out. Thats at home where I have a deep sink, unlimited water, various scrapers and even power tools. I can't possibly imagine trying to get that clean with the limit of a quart or so of water (I carry eight gallons...it has to last a couple days)
If I want sear marks, or want the fat to drip off, I can pull out the grill (formerly a smokey joe, recently replaced with a "son of hibachi") and make cleanup a trivial matter....wait, brush/scrape, and wipe.
Now don't take my griddle from me...
