A waffle baker, grill, and griddle, this three-in-one appliance comes in handy during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after school. Key to the unit's versatility are two 8-inch-square cooking plates--one set into the product's bottom and the other into the hinged top. On one side the plates form grids for making four waffles at once. Flipped over to show their flat sides they're capable of top and bottom grilling a sandwich or steak. To create griddle space, the top opens up flat, forming two 8-inch-square cooking surfaces for all foods that love a griddle--such as pancakes, hash browns, and eggs. Channels send grease to spouts in the griddles' corners, where it drains away. Nonstick to release food easily and wipe clean, the cooking plates also can be removed for scrubbing. A heat control offers high, low, and medium temperatures. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 900-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the unit upright for compact storage. It measures 11-1/4 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 11-3/4 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Perfect for Paninis September 7, 2008
Azul Norimoto (California)
I've never owned either panini maker or waffle maker so keep this in mind when reading this review.. it means that I'm not comparing it to other products owned in the past. I'm reviewing this product based on my own requirement and not on anything else.
My requirements and desires for this product were 1) makes a good panini quickly (about once a week for 1 or 2 people, not a family) 2) washable plates 3) inexpensive 4) option for making waffles if ever I wanted to try.
The machine has fulfilled all of the requirements above. As I've only dabbled with the wafflemaking option, I won't rate its performance on waffle-making - strictly on panini-making.
Warm up - it takes around 10 minutes for this machine to pre-heat the metal plates. Once the machine is pre-heated it is quite hot which makes for quick work of panini making. However note that the exterior metal of the machine also gets very hot and you must take care not to touch anywhere except the black plastic parts after the machine has been turned on. Because of this, I would caution parents not to have small children anywhere near this device when it's on.
Additionally, as other reviewers have noted, the plates are fastened to the device by metal clips and could have been constructed better. I would have been more comfortable if the clips held the plates snugger. Although I've never had an experience of the plates coming declipped, the wiggle room of the clips does contribute to nervousness and caution that although may be wholly psychological is not especially welcome.
Panini-Making - Once the griddle is heated, the sandwich is inserted and pressed. The B&D machine performs quickly, evenly heating sandwiches and leaving a tasty crust layer.
What I like best about it is that when some of the fillings spill out of the sandwich and onto the grill (leaving what one would expect to be a gooey mess), it's actually quite easy to clean. I just let the plates cool and by then, the "goo" which sometimes contains hard to remove cheese - comes right off without much effort.
All and all, the machine has met all of my requirements and I am happy with it.
So, in a nutshell:
Pros: Easy to clean, portable, does a good job making paninis. Like the looks of it. Removable plates. Gets hot.
Cons: Clips holding plates could be stiffer. Exterior of machine gets hot. Not best for household with small children.

A Great 3-in-1 Appliance September 2, 2008
K. Kingery (San Diego, CA USA)
Replaced an older (but good) waffle iron that was more difficult to clean. I love that I can submerge the 'plates' of this grill and waffle baker to clean them. Easy to use, easy to clean! It's a good thing!
Awesome Waffle Maker! August 31, 2008
FLYingG0D (GLENDALE, AZ USA)
This is the traditional waffle maker I am accustomed to! We sued to have one of these when I was a kid, and I loved waffles! Not sure what happenned to it, but I have one again, and am loving it!
I have not used the grill/griddle side of the plates, but that is a great feature to have! The unit will actually fully open up, so both grills are available, but you do have a gap between them. Swapping the plates out is easy too! There is a metal clip you press to release the plate, and it can pop right out. Just make sure it is cool! I worried that the clip would allow the plates to pop out unintentionally, but they hold in tight!
This waffle maker makes the traditional style waffles, kind of akin to those you can buy frozen at the store. They are great! Nothing like fresh waffles!
I am really happy with my Black & Decker Waffle Maker, and if you want to make waffles, you should give it a try!
Very pleased with August 25, 2008
Mark D. Washburn
We have had this grill and waffle baker for so long I can't remember when we got it. It must be over 10-15 years old. I cook either pancakes or waffles every Sunday and they come out perfectly cooked every time. Never a problem with sticking (with a little spray of pam). I would like to get a new one because ours has become a little used looking, but I will keep it as long as it keeps cooking.
