Hamilton Beach Electric Panini Press Grill with Locking Lid, Opens 180 Degrees for Any Sandwich Thickness, Nonstick 8" X 10" Grids, Red (25462Z)

I spent way too much time reading sales pages and reviews for every panini grill on Amazon and elsewhere. What finally sold me on this brand and model were the large number of rave reviews. Now that we’ve used it for a week, let me add to those rave reviews. My family LOVES this sandwich grill! It’s so easy to use that even my husband- who until now firmly believed that only I could make sandwiches— is making his own lunches and has actually gone online and looked up recipes for panini. He loves the crispy golden exterior this adds to bread, and has tried various combination of meat and cheese with great success. Today he showed me his latest triumph and said “I’m never buying submarine sandwiches again!” As I’m writing this the first week in December, I can only say— It’s like a Christmas miracle! It’s taken a man firmly committed to having meals made for him and turned him on to the fun of cooking for himself. Three things you should be aware of. 1. There is no temperature control. This has not presented a problem for us. 2. The exterior gets very hot. Keep out of reach of young children. 3. I saved $20 off the new price by buying a “used but like new” model, which was listed under the purchase buttons on the right side of the sales page. It was, indeed, brand new, no sign it was ever used, no damage of any kind, missing only the original box. Such a deal! To say I’m pleased with this purchase is an understatement. I’m thrilled!

Use it to cook things other than sandwiches.DOES GREAT HAMBURGERR PATTIES AND CHICKEN THIGHS.

It works but I wish it pressed directly down not to an angle. Your sandwich can slide.

I can't sing enough praises for the Hamilton Beach panini press. As a panini enthusiast, this appliance has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, delivering delicious sandwiches with minimal effort. First and foremost, let's talk about convenience. This press heats up quickly and evenly, ensuring that your sandwiches are perfectly toasted on both sides. Whether you're using ciabatta, sourdough, or any other type of bread, this press delivers that coveted crispy texture on the outside while keeping the fillings warm and gooey on the inside. Now, let's talk about cleanup. Here's where my little trick comes in – I use parchment paper between the press plates when making my paninis. Not only does this prevent any ingredients from sticking to the plates, but it also makes cleanup a breeze. No more scrubbing or soaking required – just remove the parchment paper, and you're good to go. In terms of durability, it feels solid and well-built, and I have no doubts that it will withstand regular use for years to come. It's a game-changer in the kitchen and has earned its rightful place among my favorite appliances.

This has been the best, most used small appliance in my house. This panini maker works well, looks good and it is very affordable. I truly recommend without reservations.

great press. not huge, ok with me. easy to clean. heats up fast, cooks nice and even. i actually like the size, its easy to store. i would recommend.

Great price for great sandwiches. Takes a simple sandwich and makes it a warm meal in no time. Easy to clean too no matter how much cheese is used!

Quality Workmanship, very easy to use Clean up is easy takes up very little space to store

Bought for my grandsons and they loved It. makes it easy for their girl cheese sandwich.

Excelente producto, muy compacto, pero con muy buena capacidad, le caben perefectamente dos paninis, o dos sandwiches al mismo tiempo. Seria excelente si se pudiera regular la temperatura, pero, bien en general

I wish there was an on/ff switch on this but there is not, once plugged in, it is on, unplug to turn off... seems a bit dangerous but that's how it's designed... That being said, I love this thing! There's no temperature control which makes it pretty darn easy to use, and it cleans up even melted cheese, so easily!!! My previous panini press was awful to clean so I rarely used it. This is a breeze to clean with a damp paper towel, and it locks closed to stand up for a smaller footprint in my pantry which I love as my pantry is crammed as it is. Recommend!!!!!!!

Tiene justo el tamaño que buscaba, práctica y segura pues trae doble seguro, su cable de corriente es algo corto de tamaño pero es mejor por el voltaje que maneja, una vez caliente tener cuidado en no tocar la plancha de arriba o la de abajo porque se calienta bastante incluso la tapa roja también se calienta, la manipulación debe ser solo y siempre del mango principal de agarre, las placas antiadherentes (no removibles) vienen impecables, sin rayones, sin golpes, la bisagra flotante bien alineada, los seguros laterales bien alineados y ajustan perfecto, la placa de abajo trae una pequeña pestaña para evitar escurrimiento de algún liquido, la cure 10 min caliente con una ligera capa de aceite de oliva y quedó perfecta, hoy en la noche la estrenaré con unos sándwiches

Me encanto, funcional, fácil de usar y de limpiar.
