I have been searching for a grill/girdler for quite some time. There are many to choose from. I needed a dependable appliance that would not cost an arm in a leg.😂. I purchased this Cuisinart Grill/Gridler and have not regretted it. It’s easy to use. Controls are self-explanatory. Extremely easy to clean. It’s a terrific panini maker!!! I made a turkey/dressing/cheese panini with dried cranberries…yummy!!! This appliance will get a lot of use this winter with panini and soups. Delicious and time-saving. Highly recommend!!

Im remarried and replacing many of the small appliances I left behind. I purchased the Griddler because I like the one I had before so much. Its self leveling top for panini's is foolproof. The griddle option is great and this is light enough to take on vacations to make breakfast for the family. The griddle/grill plates and stainless steel housing are super easy to clean.

All advertised features work as expected with one important exception. The "sear" feature does not get hot enough to brown the surface of the protein without also over-cooking the inside.

You get what you pay for! So true with this purchase. I could have picked one that was half the price, but I splurged on this not so basic model. I’m glad I did! This one has temperature control and can make 4 sandwiches or waffles at a time. And, if you’re making waffles, chances are you are making for more than just yourself and 4 at a time only makes sense. This is a quality appliance and I look forward to many years of use!

I'm not 100% happy with this grill. The lid is not balanced properly so when you put a sandwich in the middle of the plate and try to lower the top it lowers on the back and pushes the sandwich out the front. It's too hot to touch to try and rectify this situation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
