Elite Gourmet EPN-2976 Panini Grill - Perfectly Cooked Sandwiches Every Time!

Rukus: I bought a “like new” 13” model for $19.40 and it came loosely packed in a huge Amazon box with no bubble wrap or nothing just pieces bouncing around. Upon inspection everything looked new and pristine, plugged it in and works fine. My wife loves it, very simplistic design that appears smartly well built, I’d recommend it albeit we only used it 1 time

Edward Sutherland: I like the product except for the power plug, which requires an adaptor.

Columbine Phoenix: Tried it for the first time last night to grill some sausages. Don't put too much water in the drip pan, or you'll have to slurp it out with a turkey baster - not much cooks off. The times in the little cookbook are a bit optimistic - I think it runs a little cool. It heats up and cools down quickly, and the base stays cool to the touch. Glad I bought this! DON'T FORGET TO ONLY USE NONSTICK UTENSILS.

EmmaEmma: The media could not be loaded.  This tiny but mighty little grill helps me when I miss my dad, who passed away last year. I thrown on his ball cap, grab a cold crispy boy from the beer fridge and throw some steaks on this bad boy.

For the price, I couldn’t have made a better choice. Great for Korean style bbq too. My boyfriend even proposed to me bc he said my steaks were so delicious! Just kidding I don’t have a boyfriend but my steaks, chicken, pork belly, salmon, etc. game is on point.

Takes a little longer to cook outside than inside, and a bit of a pain in the arse to clean, but aren’t they all. A lil soak with some blue dawn and baking soda and she’s good as new. Fire one up for all the dads in Heaven!

a.mkua: This grill is excellent, especially considering its price. It DOES NOT smoke up my house because I follow directions and add enough water to cover the drip pan. This smokeless grill is brainlessly easy to use (IF ONE FOLLOWS THE DIRECTIONS), the temperature control is accurate, the grill gets hot enough to sear and is extremely easy to clean. What more could one ask of a tabletop grill?

I just have to vent about Amazon reviews, especially negative ones posted by buyers who don't follow instructions (the smokeless grill "smoked up my house"), have no clue about the attributes or proper care of the product they purchased (e.g. complaints that a lambskin parka is "thin" and tears easily) or purchasers providing useless, return-generating advice who are obviously not forthcoming about their actual, rather than hortatory, weights.

Gregory Gallina: As a classically trained Chef, I am rarely impressed with new kitchen gadgetry...which Id say this falls into. I got this to make Asian-style-pork belly bbq and it worked wonders. This thing heats up quickly and holds its temp. It does have some hot spots, but they are an easy work around. I love everything about this from, it’s ease of clean, to its robust design. The first month I got it, I used it 5 of 7 days a week. You can cook anything on it. I highly recommend. Additionally, if you live in an area with lots of snow, or limited access to the outdoors, this item will fill that void. The price is right too. When I looked into the finance box to check my status, I knew it was a buy I could sustain.

Karen McKenney: Only prob i have with it,is when you have Water in the Bottom Pan,be careful,gets kind of tippy if you try to move it. I just wish they would not wait until you buy,then show you the rest they have,Not Cool !!

mirag: Wonderful! I bought this because I live with a kosher household but do not keep kosher myself, so the family does not want me to cook nonkosher items on the kitchen's stove etc. With this I can get my chicken and pork etc done to high quality and satisfy my dietary needs. My one qualm with it is that it needs a cover, as a lot of the heat escapes unless you put foil over it even on the highest setting, and so larger pieces of chicken for example may take longer to cook or not cook all the way through. But it's easy to clean, easy to use, and the heat distribution is pretty good.

Ysabelle R.: I've used this for over a year and I'm still quite happy with it. The unit heats up quickly and sears quite well -- as long as you have a lid. I had an old charcoal BBQ lid that we kept for some reason, and I use it to keep the heat in. Without the lid, both meat and vegetables take forever to cook.

Pros:
- Heats up quickly
- Unobtrusive on the counter top
- Unit disassembles for easy cleaning (though see cons below)
- Capable of cooking both meat and vegetables

Cons:
- Non-stick surface eventually becomes just 'stick'
- Top of grate is easy to clean, but bottom of grate looks horrifying

In lieu of purchasing the more expensive Zojirushi, this works great and I'd definitely recommend it.
