by  staysee,  Jan 15, 2006
Pros: Stylish, even cooking, easy clean-up, temperature control
Cons: a bit heavy
The Bottom Line: A professional looking panini grill for home use.

Epinions Makes Delicious Hot Sandwiches

by  CarolynBe,  Jan 1, 2004
Pros: Easy to use and clean.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: Makes delicious hot sandwiches and can also be used as an indoor grill for hamburgers or chicken. Stores vertically to save space and is easy to clean.
Review: I have been wanting a panini maker ever since my workplace started offering them for lunch. This Christmas I got my wish and receieved one from my in-laws. I have used it about half a dozen times so far and each time has turned out delicious. A Panini ...

Epinions It does more than cook sandwiches

by  bugster2,  Apr 18, 2004
Pros: It makes great, evenly browned sandwiches.
Cons: The teeth on the cleaning comb are too short.
Review: It makes great sandwiches. The bread is nicely browned and the sandwich is completely heated through and the cheese is melted. The surface is non-stick, and both top and bottom heat. It comes with a comb to clean the channels and has a grease run-off ...

Epinions Great Panini Grill!

by  used2flyn,  Feb 13, 2005
Pros: Good design, temperature control, attractive "professional kitchen" look styling.
Cons: None
Review: This grill is perfect for sandwiches. This grill has a temperature control and many other grills do not have one. The heavy weight of the construction is very pleasing in a time when so many appliances are made very light in weight. The grill comes ...

Epinions Just like dining out

by  mattaio,  Sep 29, 2006
Pros: Variable heat, floating top, quick heating.
Cons: none
Review: A fine piece of equipment. I was able to reproduce the same quality as if one were dining out. The unit produces a fine array of sandwiches and can grill a variety of other foods if one has the desire. The unit comes to operating temperature quite ...

Epinions Excellent Paninis, and an all-weather and healthier alternative to outdoor grilling

by  LSMillers,  Sep 19, 2007
Pros: Very good grilling surfaces; and flexible joint, allowing larger sandwiches; beautiful on your granite countertop
Cons: difficult clean-up as grills don't detach; no on-off switch.
The Bottom Line: Great for indoor grilling, and likely more healthy for you than your outdoor Weber.
Review: Why a countertop grill? Do you love the grilled taste of barbeque, but often don't have the time to fire up the outside grill -- or even the inclination to use it in the dead of Winter? Do you enjoy panini sandwiches done perfectly, with the ...

Epinions Great Panini Maker For the Price

by  astravitz,  Mar 7, 2004
Pros: Even cooking on both sides. Excellent Browning. Good temperature control. Heavy Metal Quality.
Cons: No ON/OFF switch. NO timer.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this product as an excellent alternative to all the George Forman grills. It is more versitle (Panini's & Meats) and also much better quality in materials.
Review: I was a big George Forman fan, but after the non-stick surface eventually peeled off, I decided to see if there was another brand on the market with similar purpose. First the negative, there is NO ON / OFF switch. I guess this isn't the worst because ...

Epinions Pigsty? Makes no sense at all! ! ! ! !

by  dnickason,  Feb 14, 2008
Pros: It does what it was designed to do....Panini's. (it's right in the name)
Cons: Doesn't cook fatty American hunks of meat that should be grilled outdoors.
The Bottom Line: Buy this product if you enjoy Panini's or Brushette. If you want to grill meat, go outside and fire up your grill. It tastes a lot better that way.
Review: I get a kick out of the pigsty review. How ignorant some people are. If your intention is to cook a steak on this PANINI PRESS, then you should get something else. This appliance was designed as a Panini press. The George Forman grill was designed for a ...

Epinions If you like a pigsty, this grill for you

by  cyberglobe,  Jul 22, 2006
Pros: Fast heating
Cons: Lost Heat fast, Poor Construction, Splatters, Pain to clean, Does not last long,
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this if you plan to use it a lot. Consider the Breville TG890TXL as it is a much better model than this one.
Review: Well we have bought this grill last year as a house warming gift. We loved the fact that we could grill inside our house without the need of a real Propane BBQ on our balcony. Well we tried to cook several different items with it and I would have to ...
