Great for anyone, particularly those with little kitchen space!
UPDATE 04/05/23: A little over 1 year later, this little appliance has been worth every single penny I paid for it, it is PERFECT in my little RV!While I still haven’t mastered a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the bread before the cheese melts, lol, it has performed wonderfully for EVERYTHING else: pork, beef, chicken, fish, bacon, omelettes, you name it, it’s done them all perfectly!It’s not often you can find such a real bang for your buck, this is it!Since the warranty has expired, I have installed my own UL approved On/Off switch making it even better/more convenient for me. The manufacturer could add this to the unit for less than $2.50/unit (total production costs) and really put the icing on the cake.Original post: I live in a small 20 foot RV which has a sink, but no kitchen (stove, oven, etc.) only a microwave, and have been looking a long time for something I can use to cook non-microwaveable foods indoors.Even the smallest air-fryers/mini-ovens/hot-plates/griddles would take up more space than I have (only 9-1/4″ counter width between the sink and the wall) without having to put a board over the sink, and generate more surrounding proximity heat than their manufacturers recommend in close quarters. Having read the reviews on it, I particularly noticed “Scott’s” review where he fried some eggs in it and thought I’d get it and give it a try on other things, too.I love the fact that it has flat surfaces with no grids, and fits perfectly in that minuscule 9-1/4″ counter space with room to spare! I am still experimenting with making grilled ham & cheese sandwiches without nearly burning the bread before the cheese melts, but I’ll figure out the timing on those eventually.In the meantime, I have had quite the successes with cooking small, boneless round steaks, ribs and pork chops, as well as fish fillets. Having thawed the meats completely, I simply pop them in the unit and plug it in. When the green light comes on, I flip them then unplug the unit , wait 2-3 minutes and they are cooked perfectly! No more HAVING to go outside to charcoal grill meats in the dead of winter, HUZZAH!Clean up is a breeze: once cooled down enough, a paper towel or two laid in the griddle soaks up the majority of the juices from the meats, and a damp, soapy, then cleaned cloth cleans up the rest in seconds.Only time will tell if the unit will go the distance, but at this time, I am completely satisfied with it’s simplicity, lack of counter space needed, and how quickly and completely it has cooked everything I have tried in it. I will be adding my own UL approved on/off switch after the warranty expires for easier use. Lack of an “On/Off” switch would be my only drawback, but with all the positive things I like about it, this is a VERY small negative.For the compactness, ease-of-use, versatility, minimal external heat generation (outside cover DOES get hot, but does NOT heat up nearby wall/objects), and EASY clean-up it is well worth the small price of the unit, and I recommend it to anyone, particularly those who live in small. close quarters without much counter space.

Great For Yourself As Well As For Gifting!
So far, I’ve purchased two of these babies! The first was a family gift over Christmas of 2023. Since, it’s become a star in our kitchen. The second was a gift to a sister, who — upon first using it — declared it an amazing addition! These things make THE PERFECT grilled sandwiches — and QUICKLY!!! Since that first buy, I’ve evangelized getting this little treasure to anyone who’ll listen. Easy to use, easy to clean, doesn’t take up much space. Simple and fun-enough for even the younger of your sandwich chefs in my opinion! A must-have!

Heats Evenly & Quickly! Toasts Great & SO MUCH MORE! Perfect for couples/small families.
I don’t write detailed reviews very often, but this product definitely merits a commendation! I’ve had this less than a week and I’ve used it at least 3 to 4 times everyday since it arrived! I absolutely LOVE this sandwich maker! Grilled cheese and ham or grilled cheese and beef sandwiches turn out evenly browned on both sides within about 2.5 minutes. BUT, so far I have ALSO cooked/grilled sausage links, sausage patties, bacon, scones, english muffins, french toast, pizza slices, sliced veggies, sauteed slivered onions, fried eggs (it makes PERFECT “over easy” fried eggs in about 3 minutes), hot dogs, bratwurst links, and pork chops, and I plan on grilling steak and chicken breast fillets on it too. I’ve just started experimenting, and I’m still discovering more uses for it – including baking refrigerated cookies and “pan frying” Chinese dumplings both of which I just tried this evening.The features about this griddle that I especially love are it’s fast heating time, the fact that I can cook any item without having to deal with spitting grease, the fact that raising the lid to check the doneness doesn’t result in a lot of heat loss, and the fact that it is so easy to clean. I also love that I need to use little or no oils or butter to cook things well. The thick sliced smoked bacon I cooked did generate a lot of bacon grease, but halfway through cooking, I simply set a paper plate under the front left corner of the griddle and tipped the front left corner of the griddle while holding both halves open by their handles. The excess grease poured out onto the paper plate just fine. I wiped the griddle corner with a sponge to catch any dripping residue, then closed the lid and resumed cooking. After cooking, I unplug the unit and just wipe out any remaining grease with a SOFT paper napkin and then I swipe the cooking plates with a clean damp sponge and let the unit finish air drying as the griddle cools off before storing it. It also stores conveniently, by standing it upright with the hinged end as the base.Besides it’s versatility, the unit is compact enough that it can easily be taken anywhere – work, dorm, RV, etc. As long as you have electricity you’re good to go. I can’t speak to its longevity as I haven’t had it long enough, but even if it only lasts a year, it will more than pay for itself, because I’m not using all the extra electricity required to pre-heat 6+ cubic feet of oven space in order to cook a small batch of something in my oven. Enjoy!!

We use this almost every day and it is great for making quesadillas.
It is rather small for sandwiches.Nowadays, the dimensions of bread is larger than the past, so we often have to trim the bread to get it to fit.We can only make one sandwich at a time because of the size issue.However, if we use small tortillas, we can make stellar quesadillas – which we do daily.I’d give it 5 stars if it was larger like the ones we had 30 years ago.This is just too small for most bread.

Great product. Works very well. A bit too well. All my daughter wants these day is cheese tosties. All the time.

So – I seldom feel motivated to write a review – but I think this little grill deserves a few minutes of my evening.I have had it for a few weeks and I use it almost daily. It’s like I have a miniature electric frying pan. It heats up very quickly so I can reheat any leftovers in just the time it takes to make a cup of green tea. It is a sandwich grill – but I use it to reheat pretty well anything. Tonight for my supper I put a slice of quiche on one end and on the other I put a heaping one cup of pasta, broccoli, mushrooms and linguini sauce casserole. It heated up very quickly and was even a bit crispy on the top and bottom. I am really glad I ordered this little thing – for sure I do recommend it to friends who are crazy busy like me and don’t want to microwave.Ohhh – and yes – it makes a great grilled cheese veggie burger sandwich. I pan fry my veggie burger first and then assemble it with the buttered bread and cheese.You won’t be sorry – go ahead – give it to yourself for Christmas!

Light weight folds up like a little suitcase for storing between use . Cleans up easily with just a paper towel

Have only used it the once so far. It took a while to heat up and the green light is not very bright, making it difficult to see whether it was on or off.. I had to set the timer on my oven to give me an idea of when the sandwich would be ready. The sandwich was perfectly toasted having tried it for 3 minutes, however. This is a quite basic appliance (no on/off switch or timer but it worked well and is certainly very easy to clean, which is a bonus.
