Mini Sandwich Maker, Makes Sandwiches, Paninis, Grilled Cheese, Desserts, Quick Results, Easy Cleanup, 600W, Aqua

I bought this little sandwich maker because I was really craving grilled cheese sandwiches, but going through the effort to dirty up a whole pan seemed like a bit much (we didn't have water at the time thanks to a busted pipe). I saw this and thought my prayer was answered. When it came in, I was very excited, but I still didn't use it right away. We were having the pipe worked on and I couldn't clean it so I waited. When I finally got to use it, it kind of surprised me.For the money? I've used it every day so far (three days in a row) and I love the grilled cheese it makes. The value is worthwhile. With the machine closed and latched, you plug it in so it can pre-heat which takes about a minute. During this minute, you're supposed to prep your sandwich to go in. I am basic, so I use cheese and bread. It comes out light crisped (which I LOVE), but if you want it crispier, you can just open the machine and close it again and it will go for another round. I'd say about two minutes each. My boyfriend likes his sandwiches a little burnt, but I don't, so mine are done faster. In total, for me, my sandwich takes about 3 minutes from start to end for one, and when I make two sandwiches, I'd say it takes an extra 2 minutes. Cook time - The time to cook my sandwiches in this is much faster than on the stove. I'd say 2 minutes per sandwich, maybe 3 max. Longer if you want it extra crispy.Size - it's tiny. Think of your standard loaf of bread and it's probably a little bit bigger than that. It only fits one sandwich at a time, but that's perfect for me. Cleaning it, you just need water and a soapy cloth. It's pretty easy to go over it (when it is cooled down) and then dry it off.Heat level - It says not to hold your arm over it when you're opening the machine (because heat rises, of course) and it also says you should use a silicone tool and over mitts when you're working the machine. I use a silicone spoon to peel my sandwiches out, but the heat level hasn't made me use oven mitts yet. Obviously, be careful when you'r e handling the device either way.

It's a one sandwich at a time. But that's great for the two of us. I make his first. Only takes about a minute from start to finish. Then I make mine. And if one of us isn't hungry .. well why dirty up a bigger machine for just one. It's so easy to clean and care for. And it being small it fits just about anywhere you want for storage. Even in a drawer. I'm going to get one for our granddaughter in college. She's made many comments how ours might come up missing LOL. It's also a great price for those who maybe on a strick budget.

This is an impressive little hot sandwich maker! I used Walmart brand sandwich bread, the SQUARE kind, 4-5 slices of lunch meat, 1-2 pieces of cheese, for each of my sandwiches and it's pressed and melted the cheese all the way. I don't use butter on the device, I just butter my outside afterwards if I feel like it! I don't lock the device with the sandwich in it, the sandwiches are still too thick for that, but as seen in my photos, it'll press down nicely, I still have to use a butterknife to cut it all the way through, but that's fine, I have hot sandwiches anytime I have bread, that's what I'm happy about most!! I waited for this until it was on sale, just get it as soon as you can, use it responsibly, it's a lovely device!

It's a little small. But works really good.

I always read reviews and many of them were questionable - however, I am writing this review because I am pleasantly surprised with this product. Some people said the lid wouldn’t close/ things would leak out but I used standard whole gain bread and two pieces of cheese = perfection. My son is on a grilled cheese kick and this will be a big mess and time game changer. It cooked super quickly and cleaned very easily with some pre cooking spray on the the top and bottom. Definitely say GET IT

It makes tasty sandwiches, but cutting the crusts off the bread to make it fit gets old real fast.

Firstly the color is so pretty! And it heats up very well and fast compared to other brands I got before. This is definitely a great buy. We use it all the time now.

This is toxic ill made trash from China do not order this. The thing was practically broken when I got it. It smells like chemicals and didn’t look like it would last a week save your money.
