The Good: Heats up fast. Works really well. Does everything it says. Top and bottom equal temps. Even heat distribution. Great size for 1-2 people (I can fit 2 actual full size burgers on this thing). This is way better than a Foreman, at a better price. It's actually a Panini-type grill, because of the swivel-hinged top - so it's an even flat press on whatever you're making, unlike the angled Foreman lid. The Foreman is also not a 2-burger grill, for the 2 cheapest ones. It's just shaped improperly tbh. So esp given the significant price difference, this is a clear winner - with a few small buts to come. A couple reviews mentined there's no temp adjustment. This is true. I was concerned it just heated up and kept going, but no it has a max it reaches and tries to stay there. Honestl, I don't see much of a reason to need temp, personally. But I'm using this for Burgers occasionally, sausages, mostly sandwiches/wraps, I did make hash browns because another reviewer did - went fine, but no need in my case, I have enough pans. But yeah if you had limited alternative stovetop options, this can do a lot. If you've ever worked a commercial similar grill, this is a mini immitation. The top is like aluminum and can dent, but it's not like poorly made. But the result is identical IMO. If you've used some you may know a lot of them don't have removable plates, and you already know how to clean these - wet paper towel while it's still hot (just you know be careful). The nonstick is A+. The not so good: The grease runoff. Or lack thereof. So this thing isn't angled to have the grase run to the back - which is good, because it's also not angled to have it run to the center to the spout. Notice I didn't mention trying bacon - after seeing the burger situation, bacon ain't happening unless you're forcing that grease to the spout with a mini spatula or something. But - I assumed this when i saw the pictures. This is common with commercial ones also. Here, the Foreman has a better system. The reason this gets a pass is my tempered expectations - I suspected this to be the case, bought it anyway. The instructions even say this is a Sandwich grill, so they're really not even aiming at meats. Again, 2 burgers was fine. Keep an eye opn the bacon if you don't want a super messy cleanup. The only other thing is lack of removable plates. Again, I knew this. So this is more of a feature request. Along with a request for flipping plates with a smooth side. This would increase the cost but I'd do it. The bottom line: Works as described, grease runoff could be better. Price is a fair shake, I'd even say $20 instead of the $16 I paid would be fair. The size is perfect for smaller kitchens, no kitchens, or just as an add-on to your great kitrchen without heaving an appliance in and out of siome closet or taking up a lot of space on your counter. The company makes a good product so if they make something else that you may want but are unsure about the cost, go for it. If you just want a convenient little electric grill that gets the job done for basic stuff and more, accepting the "non-premium" caveats, this was one of the better buys I've made.

I will say that this is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. However, it does heat up nicely and it does cook pretty precisely. The taste of food was great. We didn't make waffles or anything we actually made sandwiches the durability of it is nice.It's not too cheap feeling. And I think it's slightly versatile because of how small it is you can take it with you.So if you're going on like a little vacation, or maybe camping, and you're going to have electricity, this would be small enough that it wouldn't take up too much space.

First of all the cons: 1. There's no on/off switch. 2. No locking mechanism to keep it closed while storing away. 3. The power cord is much longer than is needed, almost 18inches. Why not have a socket and force users to buy a 36 inch long extension cord? 4. Red light green light mysteries. Green light off it's ready for use? Green light cycles on and off normally, sometimes red light is on, mostly red light is off. 5. No built in timer, so if shut on a sandwich you had better set a kitchen timer or you could burn it. 6. Seems to take a lot of time to get to temperature. 7. Drip tray could be larger. A steak or several ground meat patties might have considerably more fat than expected. 8. No adjustment for temperature. 9. Plates are not removable for cleaning and unit can't be submerged in water to clean. Pros : 1. Cost is low. 2. Flat and open, large enough to cook on, both halves drain into the one drip pan. 3. Cheap nonstick surface actually worked well for me. 4. Small lightweight, can be packed for use while traveling. 5. Probably would be great at warming tortillas instead of bread. I picked this over many others, after reading a lot of reviews. This seemed to be a good option to me, but as you see from the list of cons, I could have chosen more better because this is far from perfect. The hinge is the main complaint for me. I wanted a sandwich maker that could be opened flat for burgers or dogs, yet would allow a sandwich to be toasted by accommodating the thicker dimensions with a "floating " hinge, and this won't do that, pinching the sandwich between the plates instead. If you are serious about toasting sandwiches, you want to pass this by. It does work ok, and as a flat grill it should be great, but watch the amount of fat in the drip tray especially when you cook bacon or other fatty foods. 2. Lights are confusing but look nice. 3. Lays flat open to use as a flat grill surface.

Got it today and try it out right away made some grilled cheese sandwiches, so far so good.

Great.

This is an awesome little griddle

At first glance I decided the plates were too small for the kinds of bread I wanted to use, and no way could it hold two. I decided to return it. It required an additional box to return and while looking for a box , curiosity got me. I canceled the return and made a sandwich instead. It says 5 minutes to heat up. Try 12 minutes. It recommends prepping the sandwich while it heats. I cooked an egg, prepped the bread, cheese etc. it sat, waiting to be put on the panini maker. After 12 minutes of preheating, I put the sandwich in. For some reason I thought the plates expanded based on the sandwich thickness like other grills. It does not, so you have to hold it down to cover the whole sandwich. Not a big deal. At 4 minutes I checked it. It looked pretty good. Took it out, sliced it, but didn’t feel that crispy outer bread. It was not crisp. The bread was soggy ( from holding it down) but the most surprising thing was that the inside previously hot filling was like warm, as was the bread. Some things you’re better off spending the extra $$ on. This is one of them. I’ll go back to my huge very old GF grill. It never let me down. I just wanted a smaller grill for my husband and I. In my opinion, not a good value.

It works… but man, this really does feel like a toy. i’ve used it a few times for quick sandwiches and it does cook them, so function-wise it’s fine. it heats up and gets the job done. build quality is where it loses me. it’s clanky, super lightweight, and just feels kind of cheap and fake in your hands. when i first opened the box i honestly thought someone sent me a kid’s toy. it’s also not something i like leaving out on the counter because it’s not very attractive. if you just need a cheap option that will toast a panini here and there, this will do it. but if you’ve got the budget and plan to use it a lot, i’d definitely look at something a little more solid.

La verdad crei que era mas grande, pero bueno, fuera de eso el producto ha salido muy bueno, sobre todo porque pese a su tamaño lo compensa muy bien al poderse abrir toda, ademas me recuerda a mi Nintendo DS Lite de ese mismo color: rojo y negro 🖤 😅

The 2nd time I went to use it I pressed down on the handle after putting the sandwich inside and the handle broke on 1 side

Superó mis expectativas en un amplio margen aún por el costo muy fácil de usar excelente bandeja para posibles usos con carnes excelente para tus baguettes sándwiches tortas según gustos a mí me gusta calentar en especial las barras y bolillos quedan como recién salidos y doraditos

Me llego el producto dañado roto de una parte de ahí en fuera salio bueno el uso

Alta calidad en el producto, todo llego en tiempo y forma a Playa del Carmen Quintana Roo México. Lo recomiendo y volvería a comprar. DJ Emmanuel Joya lo recomienda al 100%
