Title: Great for anyone, particularly those with little kitchen space!
Review: 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.

Title: Fantastic easiest to clean sandwich maker!
Review: This sandwich maker is so simple and so freakin great! First of all, I picked this up used (in like new condition) for 25 bucks. I couldn't be happier. I originally was going to purchase a sandwich maker that created grill marks and I am so glad that I didn't. The ease of cleaning alone makes this worth the purchase. Some reviewers have mentioned that you can't do large sandwiches on this griddle - and that may be true to a certain extent. Admittently, the floating lid latch does not allow for very large sandwiches. However, you can still do a 2 to 2 and 1/2in sandwich without having to smash it down and close the lock. I wonder if some reviewers think you have to close the lid and lock it to do a sandwich on this, but you definitely do not. I have made a sandwich that is two and a half inches thick without having to smash it down, and it grills both sides of the bread perfectly. And I do mean perfectly!.. I'm amazed at how evenly the bread gets toasted. I don't even use any butter at all, and it's perfect. I have also done hot dogs on this griddle and am sure you can cook a variety of things which I absolutely will be trying out. I can't wait to do hamburgers, pork chops and steak in this thing!Many have stated that the cord is too short. And it is short. It is exactly 24 in from the back of the unit to the start of the plug. This is not an issue, at least for me, as this is used on a kitchen countertop where there are normally plugins. If you don't have outlets on your kitchen countertop area, this may be a hassle for some.I do wish there was an on-off switch, but definitely not a deal breaker. I highly recommend this unit and if it were to break for some reason, I would absolutely purchase another one new.The ease of cleaning is absolutely out of this world. I definitely do not miss having to clean between raised grill areas. This thing literally takes like 3 seconds to clean with a damp paper towel.Buy this thing and make some grilled sandwiches and anything else, and don't look back.

Review: Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy again, no more using a pan on the oven needing to remember flipping the sandwich before it burns. It warms up quickly with a green light to let you know its up to temperature, grills both sides evenly. Top plate comes down gently and evenly and doesn't crush the sandwich while it cooks. Excellent product, looks great at a reasonable price.

Review: 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!

Review: 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.
