Amazon.com Review
Stuff two slices of of rustic Italian bread with mozzarella, prosciutto, fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and whatever else takes your fancy, brush with olive oil, then press between the hot plates of this grill for the best panini outside Italy. The nonstick plates are hinged to adjust to any thickness of sandwich, meat, fish, or vegetables, and the bottom plate slants slightly to allow grease and juices to drain off into the included plastic cup. Brunch guests will ooh and aah over the retro-look mirror-and-glitter finish of the grill with its wide sweep of a handle. A round polished knob lets you set and see just the right temperature in a small glass window. Measuring 14 by 12-1/2 by 5 inches, the grill includes a cord wrap and locks for upright storage. A comprehensive gift-quality recipe book featuring more than 60 recipes for panini, bruschetta, and spreads comes with the grill, which is covered by a limited 1-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 12-year old son who is a blossoming chef. He loves it! It is easy-to-use, seems safe and straightforward, and makes great panini sandwiches!

A nice addition to my kitchen appliances. Very practical for making quickie lunches for my family and grandkids, which they all enjoy. Sturdy, well built and attractive. Easy clean up and stores on edge if you appreciate the saved counter space as I do.

Dewey Mort (Culpeper, VA)
I've used it about 10 times now and thought I would not like the fact that there is no switch for turning it on and off. On second thought it is definitely a safety factor to have to plug it in and unplug it. It works just fine and I would buy it again and it's easy to clean.


4 out of 5 stars Me encanta mi panini grill...   July 19, 2008

First panini grill I've owned. My in-laws have one and use it regularly --- that's why I decided to get one (plus the fabulous sale price). So far, I love it. We use it for paninis, grilled veggies or grilled sausages and veggie burgers. I am aware that there are more expensive panini grills out there, but this is highly recommended for first-timers and those not seeking a high-end professional one.
This is also a very helpful gadget for those wanting to watch their calories.

This has been great. Super paninis and no problems at all. I like it so much I have already purhased another one for my daughter.
