Imagine. It's 10pm and that light dinner didn't quite do the job. With this gadget you can use the last two pieces of bread, the three pieces of left over breakfast sausage and the drying grated swiss cheese left in a ziplock to make a delicious and quick snack. This thing is great. It cooks fast. No smoking. And it cleans up with a damp paper towel. Nothing sticks to it; not to the inside or the outside. And for storage, just toss it on top of the frig. This is perfect for one of two people. Get a larger unit if you plan to serve larger groups.

Brushed stainless is actually plastic but looks good.
The wattage appears to be slightly less than other sandwich makers that I have had in the past so it takes a little longer to heat up. On the plus side, this will allow the unit to last longer as it will not overheat if left on and not used immediately.
The unit is advertised as being deeper than the average maker but in fact is average depth or a little less than some, don't plan on overstuffing the sandwich with filling.
I have used this sandwich maker several times and it is easy to use and gives good results. The red/green lights make using it easier to use than some of the one light sandwich makers.
It cleans up very well, after cooling it can be wiped out with a paper towel, This includes burned on cheese and grease.
Good unit, great for the price.

This grill is the greatest! We took it on vacation and it easily warned up take-out sandwiches. When I got home I then made a grilled cheese and portabello sandwich. Heavenly! It also is very easy to keep clean. I don't usually purchase small appliances, but this one is a keeper.

Having only used it for sandwiches I cooks very nicely and the center remains very hot for longer than a pan fried sandwich would. It does flatten the food out which caused us to place the soft vegees like tomato and lettuce on after cooking.

They should rename this Sandwich Fun - because that is what we are having with it!!! Sometimes a Pannini Maker is just too much - and it is fun to get back to basics!!!
