my wife was a skeptic when i informed her of my purchase - too much work, she says. and, where do we store it. well, a skeptic no more. we have used it three times and she loves the results! a local market prepares and makes the best paninis but, they were always cold by the time we arrived home - takes away from the great sandwich a bit. finally the solution - pick them up cold and finish them at home - same great sandwich as eating one there. and, there were some great recipes for my own creation that came with my new grill. i would recommend this great grill to any sandwich lover.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, construction, Cord length, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to store, easy to use, multi-purpose

When I'm in the Kitchen, I become: Crowd Pleaser
After extensive research and reading countless reviews...I stopped my head from spinning and went with the one I felt would be best. There are positives and negatives to every one I looked at. Most of the complaints of the Breville were that the plates were not removable. Fear not...a beeze to clean. Simply wait a few minutes to cool slightly and wipe with a damp cloth. Haven't had any issues. The skinny is this...paninis turn out great...isn't that the point? I recommend.
In the kitchen, I'm never without: Thermo-pen
Favorite Brand: Kitchen Aid
Pros: easy to use, Performs Well, capacity, Easy to Clean/Wash, quality, Fast/ Speed, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store

Grill marks rather faint. Controls on side whcih vary opening height must be manipulated VERY precisely, otherwise the lid won't stay up to remove the sandwich. Works o.k., but not as well as I had hoped.
Pros: Cord length, Easy to Clean/Wash, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store
Cons: Performance, Difficult to use

Had been wanting a panini press and after looking for quite sometime decided to buy this one. I am so pleased! It is excellent for toasting paninis or just melting cheese and warming the meat in sandwiches. My husband is very picky and even he was delighted with the first lunch that I served after receiving this press. I highly recommend this press.
Pros: Cord length, Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, quality, Fast/ Speed, Warranty, easy to use, True to Color, multi-purpose, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, durability, Functional/Useful, capacity, no nasty electrical smell 1st time as suggested.

I was disappointed because I thought it was a Panini maker, not just a press. It works fine though.
