Shamim Shoomali: Not that pretty, but good quality

RichieRichie: This is the boom. I was skeptical at first as it seemed a little cheaply made. But turns out a good sandwich and heats up fast. By the time I have buttered my bread and added the cheese it is hot and ready to go. I ignore lights as they seem to be irrelevant and don’t really work.

Katie: Sweet dreams are made of cheese...grilled cheese, technically. This is my first sandwich maker of any sort and let me tell ya, this is life-changing. I just lightly butter some bread, put down some salami and pepperjack, and voila! The perfect toasty. Add a little pesto drizzle when its done and I'm just in heaven.
This is so easy to clean as well. The excess cheese just slides off like never was stuck to the surface, and its small with not very complex hot plate textures, so you can't miss a spot.

Cons-
Takes an infinity to start up. I feel like I could use a skillet to grill up the bread faster than this thing starts! You plug it in and it just sits there for a few minutes. Then it finally begins to heat up, which takes another 5 or so minutes. I have no idea what it does for the first 3 minutes after you plug it in, and there's no way to just click a button and force it to start heating up. Thankfully, the perfect little cheese toastie only takes 3 minutes.
This also produces a ton of smoke. Make sure you set this bad boy under the stove exhaust if you have one because once the ingredients are in, there's enough smoke to make Smokey the Bear...

igor: I recently had the pleasure of using a Sandwich Maker with Non-Stick Cooking Plates, and let me tell you, it has taken my sandwich-making game to a whole new level. This kitchen appliance is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the deliciousness of tuna melts and grilled cheese sandwiches.

First and foremost, the non-stick cooking plates are an absolute game-changer. Gone are the days of struggling to flip sandwiches or dealing with gooey cheese sticking to the surface. The non-stick coating ensures that every sandwich comes out effortlessly, with no mess or frustration. It also makes cleanup a breeze, as a quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that's needed to keep the plates clean and ready for the next sandwich adventure.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the sandwiches themselves. The Sandwich Maker with Non-Stick Cooking Plates excels at creating mouthwatering tuna melts and grilled cheese sandwiches. The even heat distribution and adjustable temperature settings allow for perfectly golden and crispy bread, while the interior is filled with oozing, melted cheese. The result is a heavenly combination of textures and flavors...

Katherine: This is the perfect panini grill. I use this for grilled, hot sandwiches and quesadillas with flour or corn tortillas. There is no temp option so it's either on or off. The grill heats up quickly and maintains the same temp until it's turned off. Non-stick grill so you can either spray it with a non-stick spray or butter the bread first. Dry grills as well without any issue.
Food is cooked quickly, thoroughly heating meat, melting bread, and toasting the bread on both sides simultaneously.
The small grease collector does not attach so you simply place it below the drip spout. I'd prefer it to attach in some fashion, but I've not had any grease drip onto the counter with just making sandwiches.
I did try to grill a steak and it did technically cook the steak; however, the steak did not heat all the way through as it would on the stove top or in the oven and did not have a grill flavor so was bland.
This appears to be well made and it used daily in my house. Easy operation for a younger child as well.
