Hamilton Beach Panini Press, Sandwich Maker & Electric Indoor Grill, Upright Storage, PFAS-Free Nonstick Easy Clean Grids, Stainless Steel (25410)

Just used it for the first time. Works well, heats pretty quickly, cleans up nicely, stows away easily (I have a skinny useless cabinet that is perfect to stash it). I'm still learning, but it was easy enough. Now I have to experiment with what breads are better than others, ingredients, etc. That has nothing to do with the machine, but just saying theres a lot of different creative options to try. I was told good bakery bread works better, and maybe it does, but I think I want to try cheap pre-sliced wheat with sparse ingredients and make a pressed flat crispy old-school "grandma's grilled cheese" style. It's gonna be fun to play around with it. Good unit, worth the price (IMO)

I've had this thing for roughly 2 years now and it still works just as good. While it lacks any sort of temperature control, the grills on it are really quality & it's so easy to use it hardly matters. Turns any sandwich from subpar to almost restaurant quality within 5 minutes. It's easy to clean, I just wipe it down with an alcohol wipe once it's cooled down. It's a bit chunky, but fits fine in my cupboards with a designated spot. Good purchase. I'd recommend coating the bread on your sandwich with some butter though, it tends to over crisp the outside edges sometimes.

What a great little panini maker. We use it almost daily. It heats quickly. When the light turns on there is no waiting. It makes sandwiches and tortilla wraps equally well. Clean-up is quick and easy and it doesn’t take much space when put away. Keep it handy. You’ll use it a lot.

This is a great panini press. I use it almost daily. It does well for chicken; however, when lifting the lid, a paper plate is needed in the back to protect the grease from dripping on the cord protection. There is a grease catcher in the front if needed. It's perfect for panini sandwiches, which is my main goal for the purchase. It works very well.

The Hamilton Beach Panini Press is one of the best kitchen appliances I’ve bought! It makes sandwiches so quick and easy, and they come out perfectly toasted every time. The plates heat evenly, so the bread gets a nice crisp while the inside stays warm and melty. It’s also very easy to use and simple to clean, which makes it super convenient for everyday meals. The price is very reasonable for the quality, and I absolutely love how versatile it is—you can make paninis, grilled cheese, or even warm up wraps. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

I bought this for my husband because he had been wanting a panini grill. I looked at the fancier, bigger, higher priced grills, but went with this one because it has a history of good reviews. Perhaps when he proves he is responsible with this one, I will get him an upgrade :) This one is nice because there arent a lot of settings to worry about and try to remember what settings to use for what. Just turn it on, watch for the light, and then you're ready to throw your sandwich on there. He always uses thick sourdough bread and is happy with the way his sandwiches turn out. I told him to butter the grill, not the bread, and so now his results are much better. The non stick grill surfaces are nice and easy to clean. Even if a little cheese oozes out, it wipes right off with a paper towel. Nothing sticks to the surface at all. It is the perfect size for two nice sandwiches (on large bread), but yet not too big and bulky to have to worry about where to store it and it is not so big that it is cumbersome to move around and clean, etc. A lot of the other lower priced models that I looked at did not have the floating lid. This one does have the hinged floating lid so you can get thick sandwiches in there and the lid will lay flat and evenly on top. Aside from sandwiches, it is nice for burgers and steaks too. Nice to have something like this when it is too cold to go outside and run the big propane grill. We eat NY Strip and Porterhouse steaks a lot, so this little grill is really nice to get us through the winter months and not miss out on the beefy goodness. This sears them perfectly and we are able to get them done to our liking of "medium well." Boneless split chicken breasts/tenders work out wonderfully as well. It feels very well made, especially for the price and we are both happy with it. I am happy to have found such a good model at such a good price and he is happy that it works so well and is easy to use. It is the perfect combination of price, performance and value. It is not lacking any necessary features and the build quality is perfect.

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.

É a mais perfeita e incrível sanduicheira. Ótima para fazer hambúrguer, misto quente fica perfeito tostadinho , crocante e derrete o queijo perfeitamente , isso em menos de 60 segundos.

Excelente producto, nos ha funcionado muy bien ..

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

This panini press is simple to operate and makes sandwiches with a nice crisp exterior. It heats up quickly, fits a good range of bread sizes, and handles thicker sandwiches without trouble. Cleanup is easy, although the plates are not removable, so you need to wipe them down carefully once cool. It has held up well with regular use and feels sturdy for the price. I find that the plate falls too quickly once I put a wrap inside. Be careful not to burn your hands! Pros • Quick heating and even toasting • Easy to use • Sturdy build • Works with thick sandwiches Cons • Plates are not removable & closes to quickly • Cord could be longer Overall A dependable press that performs exactly as expected for everyday use.

Es de muy buen tamaño, caben 2 sandwiches, calienta muy rápido y es fácil de usar y limpiar, me encantó el acabado plateado brilloso como un espejo, se ve muy elegante.
