    nice panini maker. Only thing is that it only makes one panini at a time. Its alot smaller than pictured. Still great sandwich maker for the price i paid. I got it while it was on deal of the day for $20 and used a $10 certificate so i only paid $10 plus tax. great deal. Love it.

    Looks bigger in the picture but really a small sandwich panini maker. Overall does the job and would buy again! Also, my son thinks he’s a chef with this machine.

    Great Panini Maker

    I bought this when it was a Deal of the Day so it was a bargain at $20. So far I've used it to make about 10 panini's, and am quite satisfied with the unit. PROS: - Small - Heats up quickly - Sandwiches turn out evenly browned CONS: - Top clamshell doesn't easily pivot to match height of sandwich so I have to us a spatula to lift/tilt the top so that it makes even contact with the top of the sandwich. - Hot surfaces are exposed at edges so watch where you put your fingers. - Not easy to clean. I use a brush and have to hold it at an angle over the sink to wash/rinse (so as not to get water in the unit).

    Works as advertised. Definitely smaller than anticipated, but works great. You could fit maybe (2) pieces of bread on it at a time or (4) Krystal sized burgers. Got it on deal of the day, and I couldn't find a price online anywhere close to Best Buys.

    The Chefman grill and Panini maker is just the right size for making a hot sandwich or cooking 2 burgers. It could be improved by making the upper grill move out more.

    I bought this for a college student. I gave it to her when she was recently visiting my house. We decided to give it a try. This appliance was wonderful. We ended up using it several times and I am pretty sure from this use, two more of us feel we MUST have one also. It was beyond my expectations.

    The cooking surface was smaller than I had expected. Picture showed 4 sandwiches being cooked at one time. Possibly if they were mini buns or sliders but not full size. All in all it works as expected but is nothing exceptional. Really would liked to have removable plates but couldn't pass up as the price was right.

    I purchased this item thinking that I might need to retun it, but to my surprise, it works well. Grilling chicken breast took no time and they were juicy. I wish it was a little big bigger, but for the two of us is enough. The only bad thing is that your cannot remove the grilling plates to clean them.

    This grill is more functional as it opens so you can grill on both sides. It works great for grilled sandwiches as well as burgers, hot dogs and chicken. Its very sturdy and is easy to clean up. The grease drains right into the tray.

    I ordered this product on line and the pictures are misleading. It show the press heating 2 sandwiches. When I took it out of the box the press is so small tha it can only heat up 1 standard size sandwhich. I returned it without actually using it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I loaded it up with chicken breast strips and they cooked in under 5min. The only thing though is the plates don't come off for washing.

    I was looking for a small and great looking grill like this one and I'm so happy I found it. As other reviews state: yes, it's really small. And that's exactly what I wanted: low profile, easy to put back inside the kitchen cabinet.

    The size is smaller than I thought. One sandwich at a time is the max so good for a dorm room or a couple. Still not sure about how the on/off works on it but gets the job done or gives you the panini sandwich "feel". If you are looking for a "real" grill/panini press, this may not be it but just something that gives you that kind of feel, go for it. For the price, its good.
