Amazon.com Review
Grilling burgers, chicken, fish, steaks, and Italian-style sandwiches (panini) with no fuss or mess is easy with this handsome, chrome-clad, countertop grill. The top and bottom grilling plates make cooking twice as fast as in a pan, impart appetizing grill marks, and, with their nonstick coating, release food easily and wipe clean with a cloth. Key to the grill's professional performance is a floating hinge system that automatically adjusts to a food's thickness for even grilling top and bottom. The grill's handle stays cool during operating, indicator lights show when the grill is on and when the proper cooking temperature has been reached, and the latch locks for compact, upright storage. The grill carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Krups Panini Machine January 20, 2008
W. Ron Barnett (Alameda, CA USA)
This is our first panini machine and we're very happy with the Krups machine. It heats up quickly, does its job, and is easy to clean up.
 Great gift! January 18, 2008

This is the second one I have purchased, this one as a gift. Sometimes a little sticky to clean, but makes a nice panini, stores easily, and we have enjoyed lots of use. Good value for the money
A panini grill that lives up to its description! November 24, 2007
Patricia Hopkins (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
As soon as I received my Krups grill and panini maker, I immediately began using it. I have to say, it is absolutely fantastic! What talked ME into purchasing this particular model was a review in one of my women's magazines comparing it to a similar George Foreman grill, and the review raved about the Krups grill. It is so easy to use. So far I have only ventured to make a couple of different types of panini sandwiches, but they've been very flavorful. The sky is pretty much the limit as far as what you want to put in your sandwich. Ciabatta is the recommended bread to use for a panini (according to most of the recipes I've found), but I think you can probably use virtually any type of bread or roll. The unit adjusts to handle any thickness of bread as you close the lid. It also has lights to tell you when the grill is ready to use, and when your sandwich is done! No guessing or having to constantly lift the lid to see if it is done, and no burned sandwiches! The only negative aspect I have found to making a panini is that the sandwich filling remains cold, even after grilling - but I'm sure that would be true of any panini grill, since the maker just grills the outside of the bread. I don't know why I thought the entire sandwich, inside and out, would be hot. I suppose if your filling is already hot when you assemble and grill your sandwich, then it would stay hot or at least warm when you bite into it, since it takes mere minutes to make a sandwich. Although clean-up is easy (just wipe down the grill plates), my only suggestion for improvement would be that the grill plates were removable and dishwasher-safe. But I would definately recommend this product if you are looking for a good panini grill at a very good price!
 Use caution November 18, 2007

Krups Universal Panini grill with slide locking unit is not a secure lock. I picked it up by the handle and it was not completely locked. It sprung open and snaped off the two very small raised edges on the back corners that keep the lid at a 90 degree open position to allow you to put a sandwich on the grill. It is a white metal and is not fixable. This is an expensive unit to be so easily broken. So use caution when handling this unit. As a Panini Grill, it works well. The plates are not removable though. I would not buy another without removable plates.
