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.

The sandwich maker is easy to use. Power and preheat lights let you know when it is ready and the 10x8 inch cooking surface gives you plenty of space to make 2 -3 sandwiches at once. When complete, the sandwich is easy to remove from the nonstick grid.

More than just sandwiches
The Hamilton Beach Panini Press Gourmet Sandwich Maker is known for its delicious sandwiches, but it can do so much more. Chicken Quesadillas come out warm and cheesy on the inside and toasty on the outside. Pizza and Bruschetta can also be made by using the lock hinge on the press so the lid hovers over the pizza toppings without coming in contact. Have a sweet tooth? Even fruit turnovers are possible.

Green Means Go
For best results, always plan on letting the press preheat for six minutes prior to use. While the press is heating, pile bread up with your favorite meat, cheese and veggies to create a satisfying meal. A built in ready light will turn green when the press is ready to cook your sandwich.

Fantastic Paninis Every Time
I can't sing enough praises for the Hamilton Beach panini press. As a panini enthusiast, this appliance has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, delivering delicious sandwiches with minimal effort.First and foremost, let's talk about convenience. This press heats up quickly and evenly, ensuring that your sandwiches are perfectly toasted on both sides. Whether you're using ciabatta, sourdough, or any other type of bread, this press delivers that coveted crispy texture on the outside while keeping the fillings warm and gooey on the inside.Now, let's talk about cleanup. Here's where my little trick comes in – I use parchment paper between the press plates when making my paninis. Not only does this prevent any ingredients from sticking to the plates, but it also makes cleanup a breeze. No more scrubbing or soaking required – just remove the parchment paper, and you're good to go.In terms of durability, it feels solid and well-built, and I have no doubts that it will withstand regular use for years to come. It's a game-changer in the kitchen and has earned its rightful place among my favorite appliances.
