About Chefman Electric Panini Press Grill and Gourmet Sandwich Maker
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
80% appreciated the temperature control, but 20% faced difficulties
The temperature control has not been an issue for me and it's perfect for all my sandwich creations.
The only drawback of this machine is the lack of temperature control. It only has plug in or unplug options and no on or off switch.
I noticed that the product gets super hot super fast and burns things, but it does not have temperature control.
83% appreciated the safety features, but 17% had concerns
The handle is at a safe distance from the grill plates, preventing it from getting too hot while cooking.
I warn to be cautious around small children as the device heats up quickly and can cause burns on fingers.
The product is a safety hazard as it lacks an on/off switch and needs to be unplugged to stop heating.
81% liked the non-stick surface, yet 19% experienced sticking issues
The non-stick metal plates are easy to clean with just a wipe down to remove excess oil or debris.
I advise against using spray oil products on non-stick cookware as it can build up and become difficult to clean.
80% appreciated the heating efficiency, while 20% found it uneven
I noticed that the heating is uneven and only the bottom plate reaches a good temperature.
76% liked the ease of cleaning
This sandwich maker is easy to clean. You can just take a wet cloth and rub down the grill plates and it is good to go.
The sandwich maker is versatile and easy to clean. The removable grease catcher can be wiped out with a paper towel and put in the dishwasher. The non-stick metal plates just need a good wipe down to remove any excess oil or debris.
There is a small compartment that catches crumbs and is easy to remove for cleaning. The plates are not removable, but they are easy to wipe clean.
82% were impressed with the design, yet 18% weren't
I appreciate the sandwich maker's quick heating, adjustable top height, and fully-open ability.
The product is easy and quick to use, takes up less space in my kitchen, and fits well with the silver color design of all my appliances.
I suggest improving the design of the panini by changing the color of the button or adding arrows to make it visually clear that it needs to be pushed before opening.
81% were impressed with the build quality, whereas 19% weren't
I appreciate the quality, ease, and drip plate of my sandwich maker. It doesn't slide the sandwich and can be used as a grill when flat.
The first time I turned it on, it smelled like burning plastic. But I use it every day now and it hasn't happened again.
One of my feet was broken and upon inspection, the plastic quality seems to be very low.
