Chefman Electric Panini Press Grill and Gourmet Sandwich Maker w/ Non-Stick Coated Plates, Opens 180 Degrees to Fit Any Type or Size Food, Dishwasher Safe Removable Drip Tray, Stainless Steel/Black

Love it, especially for the price! It levels up the sandwich game immediately. It is a bit flimsy and can tilt over easy if you push too hard but as long as you're careful it's great. Haven't tried anything other than sandwiches but it does get pretty hot so I'm sure you could cook meat in it, however I might not trust that you wouldn't have a mess on your hands if you did. It does have a grease trap but it's small and I don't think it looks efficient. Works great for our need.

Worth every penny! I’ve use it twice today alone! Melts the cheese to perfection and doesn’t burn the bread. The possibilities are endless

Not bad. Wish the handle was a locking device to compress sandwich, you have to hold it down.

I've never owned a panini press. This one is beyond my expectations! The top plate of floating, so you can adjust it before heating so your sammie isn't wedged. It heats the filling too, so you don't have to worry about that. The drip tray and tilt is nice if you're making a burger or something greasy. The plates are not removable, but they just need a quick wipe to clean. The drip tray can go in the dishwasher. Buy this if you're a hot sandwich lover! You won't be disappointed.

I got tempted and ordered a “used like new” item and had a huge disappointment. Not only it came dirty, with food grease all over it, one of its little plastic legs that flip out to level the surface was broken off and loose. Also the green “ready” light never worked for me.Now, the product itself is easy to use and works well, but it’s so small that it can only fit one sandwich. The cord is also too short. I am returning it.

It has been several months past the purchase; the item is still holding well. We use it almost daily to make vegetarian Panini sandwiches. Power ON upon plug in feature without a switch is somewhat bothersome. Thick sandwiches slide out upon closing the lid top ( The lid top is burning hot at this point). I use insulated gloves on my hand and manually raise the lid top and push the sandwich deep into the grill before closing it to compress the sandwich. Automatic raising feature is lacking in this product. Heat comes on pretty quick. which we like. Stays hot for a while even after turning it off. A timer feature is lacking too. We use the timer on our microwave unit & that is no big deal. There is no Switch to turn off the unit. We simply unplug the unit ahead of time & let the sandwich cook in the latent heat for few more minutes or till the unit totally cooled off on it own. We wrap the sandwich in Parchment paper and insert into the grill to avoid spill and for ease of cleaning. Sandwich cooks well even with the parchment paper around it. Nothing seen in the drip tray. So in summary, despite its few limitations, we are overall happy with the product.

The media could not be loaded. This Panini press is a 2 in 1 & doubles as a grill and its ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!! It heats up within a few minutes, you can adjust the lid to lay flat with the click of a button and BAM you now have two grill plates! You cant really control the temperature but it there is a light indicator for when it is hot enough.I loved how easy it was to clean & there is a slot in the back that collects the debris that you wipe off. Its small, compact & easy to set up! I’ve made plenty of meals under 20 minutes using just this! 10|10 would recommend for anyone trying to get a bang for their buck!!
