We have used a previous version of this panini press for 2 decades. Our last panini finally stopped working (overuse?). We went for a year without one, finally decided we needed to replace because we couldn’t live without it! When this new version arrived, we immediately tried it out. It’s amazing and much improved from the last version. Our sandwiches were perfectly browned and delicious! The clean up seemed way easier. Love this panini press! Plan to purchase for our grown children and their families. Thank you, Breville! You continually amaze us with your fantastic products.

Doesn’t press well nor toast. Bottom is smith

We’ve had is for over 10 years now. Use it daily; reheat dinner, make pancakes, eggs, frozen finger foods, pizza … absolutely everything. Love the fact that you can control the height of the cover. The flat grill allows for a variety of food to be prepared. Wish it was a tad bitter.
