UPDATE 04/05/23: A little over 1 year later, this little appliance has been worth every single penny I paid for it, it is PERFECT in my little RV!
While I still haven't mastered a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the bread before the cheese melts, lol, it has performed wonderfully for EVERYTHING else: pork, beef, chicken, fish, bacon, omelettes, you name it, it's done them all perfectly!
It's not often you can find such a real bang for your buck, this is it!
Since the warranty has expired, I have installed my own UL approved On/Off switch making it even better/more convenient for me. The manufacturer could add this to the unit for less than $2.50/unit (total production costs) and really put the icing on the cake.
Original post: I live in a small 20 foot RV which has a sink, but no kitchen (stove, oven, etc.) only a microwave, and have been looking a long time for something I can use to cook non-microwaveable foods indoors.
Even the smallest air-fryers/mini-ovens/hot-plates/griddles would take up more space than I have (only 9-1/4" counter width between the sink and the wall) without having to put a board over the sink, and generate more surrounding proximity heat than their manufacturers recommend in close quarters. Having read the reviews on it, I particularly noticed "Scott's" review where he fried some eggs in it and thought I'd get it and give it a try on other things, too.
I love the fact that it has flat surfaces with no grids, and fits perfectly in that minuscule 9-1/4" counter space with room to spare! I am still experimenting with making grilled ham & cheese sandwiches without nearly burning the bread before the cheese melts, but I'll figure out the timing on those eventually.
In the meantime, I have had quite the successes with cooking small, boneless round steaks, ribs and pork chops, as well as fish fillets. Having thawed the meats completely, I simply pop them in the unit and plug it in. When the green light comes on, I flip them then unplug the unit , wait 2-3 minutes and they are cooked perfectly! No more HAVING to go outside to charcoal grill meats in the dead of winter, HUZZAH!
Clean up is a breeze: once cooled down enough, a paper towel or two laid in the griddle soaks up the majority of the juices from the meats, and a damp, soapy, then cleaned cloth cleans up the rest in seconds.
Only time will tell if the unit will go the distance, but at this time, I am completely satisfied with it's simplicity, lack of counter space needed, and how quickly and completely it has cooked everything I have tried in it. I will be adding my own UL approved on/off switch after the warranty expires for easier use. Lack of an "On/Off" switch would be my only drawback, but with all the positive things I like about it, this is a VERY small negative.
For the compactness, ease-of-use, versatility, minimal external heat generation (outside cover DOES get hot, but does NOT heat up nearby wall/objects), and EASY clean-up it is well worth the small price of the unit, and I recommend it to anyone, particularly those who live in small. close quarters without much counter space.

Makes Hot Grilled Sandwiches in Minutes
With 700 watts, the sandwich maker easily and quickly makes a variety of hot grilled sandwiches of varied thicknesses, from grilled cheese and Reubens to paninis and Mexican tortas in under 5 minutes.
Tested. Proven.
It’s not just a tagline, it’s what has led our product development for decades. Every Proctor Silex appliance begins its journey in our engineering lab. Motors rotate, switches turn and mechanical arms spin for days on end, testing each function and feature. Then it’s off to the test kitchen, where the staff uses the product much like you would. Only when an appliance passes our rigorous testing do we know it’s ready for its final test – your home.
Proctor Silex Deluxe Hot Sandwich Maker with Non-stick Plates
Easily make a variety of hot grilled sandwiches from grilled cheese and classic Reuben sandwiches to paninis and Mexican tortas in less than 5 minutes.
The sandwich maker heats sandwich ingredients, melts cheese, and creates a crispy, golden outer crust on bread for sandwiches that look as good as they taste. The nonstick plates accommodate either 2 thick sandwiches at once or 1 long sandwich. The floating lid evenly presses food, so you can pile sandwiches high and they'll still cook evenly on both sides. A lid latch keeps the sandwich maker shut between uses and makes it easy to store either flat or upright.

- Toasts 2 thick sandwiches at once
- Compact, upright storage
- Easy to use — power on and preheat lights remove guesswork
- Easy to clean with durable nonstick plates
Toasts Two Thick Sandwiches
