DeLonghi Retro Panini Grill:
DeLonghi combines the cooking trends of today with retro design in this gleaming Italian sandwich maker. Softly rounded edges are handsomely paired with easy-to-clean, nonstick stationary cooking plates that provide two-sided grilling of favorite Panini combinations. The wattage is high to speed cooking time; an adjustable thermostat lets you customize the level - a lower temperature so cheese thoroughly melts or higher for a quick crisp of the bread. The hinged door adjusts in height to accommodate thin slices of sourdough or thick squares of focaccia. And for the health-conscious, little or no oils are absorbed thanks to the cooking plates that slant forward for oil or butter to drain into built-in channels. Other features include power-on and ready lights and a wrap-around cord. When not in use, the unit fastens shut and stands upright for convenient storage - though as delicious as these sandwiches are, this panini maker may very well end up a permanent fixture on your kitchen countertop.

by jamesc (Manchester, NH) 2 reviews Easy to use and I love it. You can cook two sandwiches at a time. The three heat settings are helpful. Cooking hamburgs, chicken filets is a breeze. Easy to travel with to camp,. vacations.
by Erwin (LAKE WORTH, FL) 1 review First, it does not allow you to adjust for different size panini. Second, it doesl not leave distinct marks on the outsize of the panini. But, it does melt the ingredients and result in an edible panini. At the price though one might not expect too much more from the product as compared to other such grills.
by Patrick (Virginia Beach, VA) 1 review Makes great panini, which is the only thing we use it for. The top does get very hot with use but that's not really a problem for us - just something to be aware of. Very easy to clean.
by Patrick (El Segundo, CA) 1 review This Panini Grill is one of the best out there...the only thing is there isn't an on/off switch so you have to unplug the unit to turn it off...that's the only thing because other than that its easy to use and works magic!!!
by Ron (Winlock, WA) 1 review as a newcomer to grilled sandwiches, I am very pleased with my Retro Panini Grille. This is an excellent product, especially considering the price and performance of the unit.
Higher priced Panini Grilles may have more features, such as removable grills, but for the price and experience, I am more than satisfied.
