Amazon.com Review
A floating hinge and two sets of cooking plates turn this multifunctional unit into a contact grill, panini press, large open grill, or griddle. Made of brushed stainless steel, this four-in-one, space-saving appliance offers cooking options that range from pancakes, sausages, and grilled cheese to fish, hamburgers, and panini. Its floating hinge adjusts to the thickness of food, while adjustable temperature controls ensure food is cooked properly. The unit features a sturdy panini-style handle and convenient indicator lights, as well as nonstick grill and griddle plates that are removable, dishwasher-safe, and designed to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Two dishwasher-safe drip cups to collect grease are included, plus a dishwasher-safe scraping tool for easy cleanup. The unit measures 13 by 11-1/4 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a limited three-year warranty. --Catie Unger

 Cheaply Made November 28, 2008

This device cooks well enough, but it is "tinny", for lack of a better word. Good old George Foreman is MUCH more substantially made. The stainless steel exterior is more difficult to keep clean than other devices. I would have paid more for a better made machine. Nice try, but not up to my standards in cookware.
 The Best Griddler and Panini maker November 25, 2008
I ordered this for a christmas present for myself last year and I am still using it all the time! It works very well and is dependable. It makes perfect pancakes and is evenly heated. The paninis turn out delicious. The appliance is compact, retro, and fun to use. Makes a perfect gift!
Love it! November 22, 2008
We us our griller at least a couple of times a week to make healthy and ymmy sandwiches. It works great and is very easy to clean--the non-sticke removable plates pop right out for a quick wash.
I was afraid this would be another kitchen gadget that we never use--but it makes GREAT paninis and we are using it regularly.

I had been wanting one of these griddlers for awhile and was pleased to find it at a great price. Shipping was fast, product was well packed. I couldn't find this product any cheaper. I've already used it to make pannini's and grilled cheese. It's great!
Good idea, poor execution October 28, 2008

I needed a griddle, and this seemed like a great idea -- an appliance that does double duty, creates a nifty panini in addition to pancakes, good manufacturer(?) -- a slam dunk, right? Wrong.
This has been a disappointment, mainly because of poor heating. You never know what temperature surface you will get. If set to 350, it may eventually reach it, but put cool batter on it, and it may take 10 minutes to get back up to temperature. And turn the heat up, to 450, say? Next time, they'll burn in 2 minutes flat.
I received a replacement from Cuisinart, and the new unit seemed to heat a little more evenly, but I think it was mostly wishful thinking. AND, the new unit doesn't stay level when in an open position -- it tilts when a spatula presses on it. Now my warranty has expired, so it's just taking up space for the occasional sandwich.
So if you're looking for something that will grill a hamburger like a George Foreman grill, get a GF grill. It will most likely do a better job than this unit. And for pancakes, get a real griddle. That's what I'm gonna do.
