This little press is easy to use and does a pretty good job for toasted sandwiches - what we've mainly used it for. The three sets of removable plates that it comes with are easy to install, switch out, and clean.
For sandwiches, the grill area isn't huge, so some commercial breads don't fit into the press really well, but if you're using standard sandwich bread, or we've been using a rustic loaf that I can slice thin, then you can fit two slices of bread and some sandwich goodies in the middle, like the ham & Swiss I have pictured.
Overall, the sandwich is nicely toasted and hot all the way through - and it does that pretty quickly. However, you cand see that the top of my sandwich was at the back of the grill, where the heating element starts and ends. The edges tend to get hotter (and more done) and the middle doesn't have as much heat. It is compact and easy to manage, store, clean, etc., so great for a smaller kitchen or one or two people.
