I have used a Panini Press & Cast Iron Griddle before as two separate appliances. I thought this would be the best of both features. The Grill works well, but for me, the Panini Press is difficult to use. It's hard to close the lid without pushing the sandwich out. I have to get a spatula & press it on the side of the sandwich to keep it in the press. The Panini Press I've used before, the lid is raised so I don't have this problem.

So far so good! I've used it a few times and the outside of the bread gets nice and toasted and not soggy. I like that the 2 press plates are detachable and go into the dishwasher for ease of cleaning. It will make 2 sandwiches at the same time or one large panini, so a decent size. I haven't used it as a grill yet, just as a panini press but it does open up completely, so can be used to grill veggies or a burger if you want. It's a good addition to my kitchen.

Although the grill player are top rack dishwasher safe they don’t hold up after a while and look kind of rusty almost like the non Stick coating is wearing off. Also when pressing the top lid down to make a grilled cheese sandwich, the way the lid closes, it makes the top slice and contents slide outwards.

We had an older model for years, this new design helps a lot.

Perfect size for 2 people and so easy to clean with the removal plates.

I love that the plates can be removed for easy cleaning and can go in the dishwasher. It does take a while to heat up but the plates are nice and hot so it cooks fast.

Great size for 2 people and easily stored away, can remove grids for cleaning, without much effort and I like the tray location. Great griddle and press. Glad to have found this one. Use it weekly .

We have a large outdoor griddle. I thought it would be great to have a smaller version inside for rainy/cold days. We love it! Reuben Sandwiches, Peanut Butter/Fluff Sandwiches and eggs!!

This panini press is just okay. It doesn’t compress equally from the front to the back. Also, the grill doesn’t get hot enough. The cheese melts before the bread has browned. I wish I had bought a higher end model.

Good value! The Griddler is simple and very easy to use. Once plugged in it heats up fast, makes a great sandwich and cleans up easy. I also like that you can open it fully for a flat mini grill.
