HappyMom: I have had one of these for many years now. It still works perfectly and is in great condition so I bought one for my mom as a gift this year. It has many uses, but we usually use it for making hot pressed sandwiches or just grilled cheese. We use almost every single day! Yes, it is either on or off with the plug, as there is no switch. So as long as you know that, there’s no issues with it. The light on top turns green when it thinks your sandwich is done, which is usually on point. I love this machine and love that the quality has held up over the years.

Karen Licht: I am now a panini addict! I purchased this panini maker because it got good reviews and was inexpensive. I was so glad I made this choice! It's super easy to use, just plug it in and wait for it to heat up. There is no option to control the heat, but every sandwich I've made has come out great! I've been eating panini sandwiches almost every day since I got this about 3 weeks ago. Yeah, there are lots of other appliances out there that have more bells and whistles, but this one does the job and does it very well! I've used pita bread, ciabatta bread and sourdough bread to make sandwiches so far. You do have to remember to unplug it or it will just stay on. Also cleaning it is a chore, but I just take a damp paper towel to wipe it down after it has cooled off. Other, more expensive models may have removable press plates that can be washed easily, but for me the trade off is actually having to remove them and later put them back on....I'd rather just wipe it down. Also I love that you can store it closed and standing upright which makes it easy to put in a cabinet for storage or, like I do, to push back against the counter wall out of the way, since I use it every day. Either way it...

Joanna D.: We had panini all over Sicily for lunches--grilled sandwiches with fillings like ham and cheese or tomato with cheese and eggplant (my favorite "Alla Norma." They are a way to make a meal out of simple fillings and good bread --with some soup and salad you even have dinner.

So this press is simple and not terribly expensive. But it has some flaws, but if you can deal with them, it's a good buy as as reliable as a waffle iron.

1. The lid gets HOT HOT HOT. As in burn you bad. The grill below the lid is not insulated so NO CHILDREN operating this--and frankly no one easily forgetful. Use a silicone mitt to lift it when the sandwich is grilled. Oh, and that lid stays HOT after you finish grilling for quite some time. Oh, and no temp control or on-off.

2. Not much in the way of an instruction book; a small, finely printed slim pamphlet.

3. Short cord. It barely went from the counter to the outlet behind.

4. No removable plates, so you will be cleaning it with a soft wet cloth when it cools.

Now that the complaints are aired, I have to say, it made a well baked sandwich quickly and easily. Be sure to use a bread like ciabatta or Italian bread,...

MyPenName: I bought this for my husband because he had been wanting a panini grill. I looked at the fancier, bigger, higher priced grills, but went with this one because it has a history of good reviews. Perhaps when he proves he is responsible with this one, I will get him an upgrade :)

This one is nice because there arent a lot of settings to worry about and try to remember what settings to use for what. Just turn it on, watch for the light, and then you're ready to throw your sandwich on there. He always uses thick sourdough bread and is happy with the way his sandwiches turn out. I told him to butter the grill, not the bread, and so now his results are much better.

The non stick grill surfaces are nice and easy to clean. Even if a little cheese oozes out, it wipes right off with a paper towel. Nothing sticks to the surface at all.

It is the perfect size for two nice sandwiches (on large bread), but yet not too big and bulky to have to worry about where to store it and it is not so big that it is cumbersome to move around and clean, etc.

A lot of the other lower priced models that I looked at did not have the floating lid. This one does have the hinged floating...
