OVENTEElectric Sandwich Maker with Non-Stick Plates, Indicator Lights, Cool Touch Handle, Easy to Clean and Store, Perfect for Cooking Breakfast, Grilled Cheese, Tuna Melts and Snacks, Black GPS401B

I recently bought this sandwich maker and I'm thrilled. From the first use, you can tell it's a high-quality product: the materials feel durable, the design is modern and elegant, and it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen (bonus point for those of us with small kitchens!).It heats up super fast, and in a matter of minutes I have a sandwich that's crispy on the outside and perfectly melted on the inside. The best part is that the non-stick plates prevent anything from sticking, so cleaning it is a snap. It also has a safety lock and can be stored upright, which I found super practical.

The Good:Heats up fast. Works really well. Does everything it says. Top and bottom equal temps. Even heat distribution. Great size for 1-2 people (I can fit 2 actual full size burgers on this thing).This is way better than a Foreman, at a better price. It's actually a Panini-type grill, because of the swivel-hinged top - so it's an even flat press on whatever you're making, unlike the angled Foreman lid. The Foreman is also not a 2-burger grill, for the 2 cheapest ones. It's just shaped improperly tbh. So esp given the significant price difference, this is a clear winner - with a few small buts to come.A couple reviews mentined there's no temp adjustment. This is true. I was concerned it just heated up and kept going, but no it has a max it reaches and tries to stay there. Honestl, I don't see much of a reason to need temp, personally. But I'm using this for Burgers occasionally, sausages, mostly sandwiches/wraps, I did make hash browns because another reviewer did - went fine, but no need in my case, I have enough pans. But yeah if you had limited alternative stovetop options, this can do a lot.If you've ever worked a commercial similar grill, this is a mini immitation. The top is like aluminum and can dent, but it's not like poorly made. But the result is identical IMO. If you've used some you may know a lot of them don't have removable plates, and you already know how to clean these - wet paper towel while it's still hot (just you know be careful). The nonstick is A+.The not so good:The grease runoff. Or lack thereof. So this thing isn't angled to have the grase run to the back - which is good, because it's also not angled to have it run to the center to the spout. Notice I didn't mention trying bacon - after seeing the burger situation, bacon ain't happening unless you're forcing that grease to the spout with a mini spatula or something.But - I assumed this when i saw the pictures. This is common with commercial ones also. Here, the Foreman has a better system. The reason this gets a pass is my tempered expectations - I suspected this to be the case, bought it anyway. The instructions even say this is a Sandwich grill, so they're really not even aiming at meats. Again, 2 burgers was fine. Keep an eye opn the bacon if you don't want a super messy cleanup.The only other thing is lack of removable plates. Again, I knew this. So this is more of a feature request. Along with a request for flipping plates with a smooth side. This would increase the cost but I'd do it.The bottom line:Works as described, grease runoff could be better. Price is a fair shake, I'd even say $20 instead of the $16 I paid would be fair. The size is perfect for smaller kitchens, no kitchens, or just as an add-on to your great kitrchen without heaving an appliance in and out of siome closet or taking up a lot of space on your counter. The company makes a good product so if they make something else that you may want but are unsure about the cost, go for it.If you just want a convenient little electric grill that gets the job done for basic stuff and more, accepting the "non-premium" caveats, this was one of the better buys I've made.

This company came through for me...when I ordered this waffle iron, I did not use it during the original 30 Amazon Return period, so when it did not heat up hot enough to cook a crispy, light waffle, I was so disappointed and emailed the company's customer service desk to request a refund...they said that any refund would have to come from the company where I purchased the item, so I explained that the Amazon window was closed and how did they honor the year warranty that was in the product information...and luckily, they were willing to replace the item and I didn't even have to return it because it did not get hot enough...the new one arrived quickly and I have used it. This one does heat up and makes a good waffle, it takes longer than it should, about 10 minutes to cook a waffle when it should take just 5, but the company was true to their word and made good on the product! Kudos to them and thanks customer support help desk people!!

The panini press works really well – heats up fast, grills evenly, and is easy to clean. But for our family, it was a bit too small, so I ended up returning it. If you cook for one or two people, it’s a great option!

A great product find. It's simple to use and not too big to put up.

I didn't have a great experience with the delivery as I received a used product and had to request a replacement, which was a hassle. However, once I got the new product, I can say that the durability is reasonable, although I don't expect it to last long with frequent use. The heat distribution is good and it cooks well, although I've noticed that sometimes a bit of condensation forms on the plates. The storage capacity is limited, but it's understandable given its compact design. As for the build quality and design, they're acceptable, although they're not spectacular.

I have tried it for 4 months now. Initially I would be skeptical as I read complaints in many reviews , but after 4 months usage, I would say I love it!Pros:- Heat quickly and efficiently with 1000W (higher power than other sandwich makers) - fully cooked fried eggs for 3 minutes for both sides, onions pancakes for 2-3 minutes for both sides...- Open 180 degrees so that I can use both sides of the pan for multiple cooking at the same time (please refer to my pictures - I can make 4 fried eggs at the same time)- Non-stick, I don't use oil at all for fried eggs etc (just need to wait till it is fully solid until you change the side)- Can cook a variety of food (so far I have tried eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, shrimps, salmon, vegetables, hams...)- Easy to use and easy to clean (just use kitchen towel)Cons:- There is no switch on and off, the only way is to plug on and off (it says it has auto shut off, but I am not sure if that works or not)- There is a designed opening gap in the pan border, make it hard to cook any fluid food, it will flow away to the rubbish pan (attched beneath)- If you put the lid on, it won't support too high sandwiches given the angle.All in all, for the price, it is a great sandwich maker which we explored a lot many varied food options and love it!
