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.

I love my griddler! I’m a meat-eater, and I’ve been using disposable pans for broiling - and feeling guilty about disposing of them. My first steak was too thick for the griddler, but now having used it 4x, I have it down. I can even make this steaks med-rare in the middle! Plus it takes so much less time to cook. Also, the griddle plates really are easy to clean. I wipe them off, if there’s burnt grease on them, and pop them in the dishwasher, and they come out like new! I don’t eat panini, but I imagine they would need to be thin.....like a typical grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.

This allows 2 sandwiches/ hamburgers/chicken to be grilled at the same time. The grates are easy to remove & reinsert It can be opened to grill larger pieces. Definitely recommend.

It’s compact for easy storage, heats up quickly, and the grill plates pop off easily for a simple clean up in the dish washer. We LOVE this panini press and have used it almost every day since it arrived.

Heats evenly and quickly. Simple to use and monitor progress. Surface is nonstick but I used a little cooking oil and had no problem. After using it is easy to clean and then store when not in use.

We have made A LOT of very tasty panini’s on this grill that otherwise would have been done on a iron on our stove top (not as good). This machin is amazong!

This product can be improved with a lock to keep it shut when storing. Also a temperature control is needed, otherwise you burn your panini. Overall we use it almost daily to make panini. I used it to grill fish or meat, but it's messy.

Super, small and light, does a great job. Wish it had a lock for the griddle because we store it standing up and have to kind of wedge it do it doesn’t flop open. Our old panini maker locked.

I love it and use it often to make breakfast sandwiches and lunches. Easy, compact and cleans up well. My son loves it too and uses it to make after school snacks.

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.
