First, delivery: was supposed to be delivered on the 23rd, eventually this got a delayed response and said that the delivery would be on the 26th. The press turned up today the 24th. OK it got here fairly promptly, but why not give the delivery date at the start when it is obvious that it's going to be delayed. Having accurate delivery info is SO USEFUL , so come on Amazon you are usually better than this. The product, well packed and pretty easy to set up. It heats up very fast, and will do the job nicely. Plenty of room on the plate for a couple of paninis. Now the bad bits. Temperature - there is NO indication as to what the temperature settings are. Just a min-max arrow around the knob. From the manual min is 75C and max is 190C would it have hurt to print that on the control label? Even better would be to add a real temperature display, they cost peanuts now and would make life much easier. The drip tray does not lock into place, so it's easy to get it in the wrong position and make a mess. The worst point is a safety one. THERE IS NO ON/OFF SWITCH on the unit When you finish with the unit you need to unplug it from the mains or switch it off from the mains. As the power lead is quite short I can see the situation where you would be reaching around a hot device to switch it off..OUCH! The lack of on/off switches seems to be a trend with a lot of kitchen appliances and there is NO REAL excuse for it.

Great for paninis and toasties, I do mine for about 10 mins on a lowish setting to ensure the fillings have heated through/melted, then bang it up to a high setting for about 2 mins to toast the ciabatta or bread properly, well worth the £33

Don't be put off by the Panini Press title of the product. This is excellent for making proper toasted sandwiches. We find that two cheese and ham toasties are done to perfection in under 4 minutes. You can easily fit two sandwiches in (we use Warburtons bread), it is a doddle to use and you just wipe clean with a damp cloth once it has cooled down. We didn't want one of those toasters where it crushes the edges of the bread and creates 2 horrible molten scallops, just so pleased we bought this toastie maker.

My earlier impression was wrong. This is a very very good Panini Press. I bought this as the most expensive for two reasons. One was its top would lie flat over the bread and secondly, I expected it would do a good crust and flatten. Having found better panini bread and employed less filling it was a great success. I can honestly say now that I am absolutely delighted with it. It's sturdy and does a great job. Ultimate key to a successful outcome is to press down on the bread. For the price, it looks good and solid and we are delighted with it.

makes sandwiches just as we like them and not squashed at sides, cooked pork chops to perfection.very happy with cooking. BUT one big downfall slideds on worktops, whilst cleaning unit slid forward to edge of worktop pushing drip tray over edge spilling fat over me base cupboards and floor. the 2 small round feet at front not use for purpose as hard plastic material, have to purchase a non-slip heat resistant matt ( ones for air fryers or cookers ok ) also unit tends to lift up when opening top half, you have to hold down, lucky front feet part do not get really hot

Only tried a toasted sandwich and it did a great job, and it takes full sized bread which is a bonus, I would recommend this grill.

Plaques ne sont pas amovible et machine n'est pas assez grande d'accueillir quatre paninis. Branchement pour Royaume Uni. Je refuse d'utiliser cette machine. Je dois maintenant demander remboursement.
