I've never had a panini, so my husband bought this for me. We were both blown away by how different and delicious paninis taste compared to sandwiches grilled in a skillet. I love the way this Panini maker works, it's very easy to use. I do have one complaint. Part of it is my fault because it was my first time using it and I didn't know how to put the sandwiches together before putting them in the press. I evidently either used too much cheese or put it too close to the edges of the bread. The cheese spilled out the back and got all over the connection cable between the bottom and the top plates. It took me 45 minutes to clean! That I don't like so much. There's a metal, spring-type covering on the connector between the plates. As you can imagine the cheese got in between all of the rings of the spring. What a mess. The rest of the unit was relatively easy to clean. This is the reason I only gave it four stars instead of five.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Kinda cheaply made. You can’t really put too much in the middle of the bread, either. And I am not trying to make sandwiches as thick as subs. I kept it but I don’t think I’ll really use it that much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Although I like this product I must say I don’t use it to grill chicken or steak meat because it takes ages for the meat to cook, basically the temperature is not hot enough for thick meat but I use it on a daily basis to make pancakes or waffles (with additional waffle plate we bought) and grill fish or simply warm up bread (it turns out much softer than with toaster oven). I only wish it could get more hot so I could use it to grill meat too which is the reason we bought this grill!
