The best for cooking and clean up!

If you have not tried one of these muti-purpose portable cookers (if you have you know the speed and ease of cooking any meal is unbelieveable) look no further than this fine unit. Right out of the box you see the quality and thought that went into this product. This is a replacement for my first (different brand panini grill). Differences are unbeliveable; unlike my previous grill this unit grills to perfection, the grease from cooking goes thru the open bottom grill plates, into a removeable tray. All grids are removeable, which is a huge difference (my old unit did not have removeable grids had to clean by hand). It cooks meat, chicken, panini etc perfectly and nearly grease free.P.S.Don't throw out the direction booklet! It has over 20 Wolfgang Puck recipes in it, to use with this grill!Can't say enough.
Great Product

Reviewer: Kenneth R. Kluge,
Don't hesitate....Buy it now! Easy Clean-up. I replaced my trusty old Forman grill with this appliance. Plenty of surface area. I cook two 2/3rd pound hamburger steaks at a time on it.Close the lid down and they are done in approx 6min. The plates and drip pan go in the dishwasher. You wipe down the exterior with a paper towel and windex. Done!....... For the Money, it is an incredible deal compared to other grills that are out there. Some people can find something wrong with anything...but for the money you get professional Panini's, and a great indoor grill.
More cons than pros

Pros -- Cooks beautifully (though I've personally only done sandwiches thus far).....certainly not a professional appliance, but not cheaply-made either

Cons -- Bulky/larger than it appears in pictures.....difficult to read controls.....exterior surfaces get EXTREMELY hot (keep kids WELL clear of this thing while in operation AND afterwards during the cool down cycle).....size makes it comparatively difficult to store

Since I admittedly purchased this unit refurbished at a clearance/closeout price (well under half of brand new), I'm FAR more willing to deal with its fairly numerous negatives in return for its good-excellent cooking performance (and little else).

At a typical retail well over $100, I might be less willing to do so. OTOH, I'd almost assuredly never spend THAT kind of money on this purely discretionary appliance that virtually nobody (including myself) REALLY needs in the first place.
Good concept, poor execution

We searched until we found what looked like the prefect multi-function panini grill. It's a great concept and obviously someone thought of all the possibilities for cooking that it could do. And the storage for the extra plates is brilliant. However, when we took it out of the box, some screws and bolts fell out. Then we noticed that the anchors holding the heating element were loose and dangling. We couldn't put them in because the back, where the bolts went, was inaccessible. A little black rubber part fell out also, and we figured out that it was one of the rubber feet on the bottom, but the other one was missing.

We thought the metal which it was made of was rather thin and flimsy, and it was apparently carelessly assembled. Also, a lot of the parts rattled, making it sound not very sturdy. We are returning it without trying it and getting a refund. But after reading the 5-star review about how well it cooks, we are considering trying another one, just to see if this one was a lemon.
