I bought this product earlier this year, but I have to say, for the 1st time, I am terribly disappointed in a Cuisinart product. I bought it primarily for the waffle iron feature, but after using it for a while & hoping I could make it work, it just does not get hot enough on the top plate to make a golden brown waffle. I end up overcooking them. The top plate for all of the ways to use it just does not rise to the occasion either. Bottom plate gets hot enough, so maybe I got a faulty unit? I chose this product based on other customer reviews and most of them are positive. Just thought you should know.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Heat is not consistent in top and bottom plates. Bought the waffle plates too, but have to flip waffles half way through to brown both sides. Very disappointing.

I’m really enjoying this panini, griddle/grill. It makes grilling sandwiches and steaks, bacon, eggs and pancakes for breakfast, or just sautéing veggies easy fun and delicious! It’s easy to use, clean and store.
