It had its flaws - the clip to lock the plates was plastic and had to be "modified" to work after a few years and the temperature control was eventually unpredictable - but it kept working, was easy to clean and made excellent toasties. So, I finally accepted it was time to replace it and found this one. So, initial impressions (3 weeks of use so far) are as follows: It is big and heavy! I do not view this as a bad thing, but it does weigh a fair bit. Apparently it is 5.4kg (or 12lbs to those of a certain age). This weight is reflected in the apparent build quality. It looks solid and the design appears well thought out. It does an excellent job of sealing sandwiches, if you use the right type of bread. I have found bloomer slices to be outstanding at adding lots of filling and keeping it as filling! The locking mechanism when doing a toastie is different. No click to tell you it is sealed, you just apply steady pressure on the handle (use both hands, one each side) and then try and lift the lid. Once you have applied enough it won't move. I read somewhere that someone complained it broke very soon after purchase... I can only guess they tried the (unwise) approach of slam down and push hard! Honestly, just apply steady pressure and it locks. It does not need anything violent. Unlocking is done by a simply press mechanism in the middle of the handle. Hopefully it will last. Temperature control is a dial on the front, as with my old one. To be honest I just use it on maximum (for toasties) so I can't comment on the variations in temperature. It comes with the plates for standard toasties and grill plates for...grilling! I have tried the grill plates to do Paninis and they were excellent. I will try it for grilling other things in due course. The plates are easily removable for cleaning (just let it cool down after use!) with push releases on the sides. There are a few reviews giving one star claiming it arrived broken (so maybe contact desertcart & get a replacement rather than giving a one star review??) or broke after a few weeks use. Not sure what they are doing with them, but I suspect a lack of thought when using. Overall, I am very impressed, but I will add updates as time passes to measure the longevity. However, based on my experience with the old one, I suspect it will last (I know how to look after things). Thanks for reading and I hope you found the review useful. Review: Best waffles ever - I was hesitant to spend so much on a waffle maker but, having tried a cheap one, I was keen to get one that would not suffer from the same flaws. This one is great, it makes perfect waffles - crisp and golden and fluffy inside. Both my boys have used it and it's foolproof! The non stick coating is so good it doesn't need any oil or butter and stays spotlessly clean, particularly as all the batter stays on the plates due to the design. The cheap one I had before would get very messy but this one is fab. Another advantage is that it can be turned off without unplugging it so it can sit on the counter ready to use - perfect for my teenage son who will now make himself some if I leave batter in the fridge for him. The design is great, the handle and latch are very well thought out so you don't burn yourself and the finish is much easier to keep clean than regular stainless steel. I haven't tried the pancake plates yet but I plan to, I am even gonna have a go at making fried eggs on them as both of my frying pans are hard to cook eggs in. I'm sure you could make mini omelettes on the pancake plates too. If you regularly eat waffles then this is an excellent choice and worth paying a bit more for, my whole family loves it. ## Features - GRILLING EXPERIENCE, WHATEVER THE WEATHER - Opens flat for a large spacious BBQ plate with dual temperature control and double sided flexibility - CONTACT GRILL FOR MORE THAN JUST PANINIS - Removable and reversible plates for crispy sandwiches, paninis and wraps, and faster double sided grilling of vegetables and meats - HEALTHY COOKING, MADE SIMPLE - The cooking plates effectively drain excess oil, providing a healthier alternative for your culinary creations, with recipe book included - EFFICIENT FROM COOKING TO CLEAN UP - Fast heat-up and cool down, with two sets of removable, dishwasher-safe plates - YOUR COOKING, YOU’RE IN CONTROL - Adjustable countdown timer, dual variable temperature control up to 240Β°C and a floating hinge with up to 8cm of flexibility for even the chunkiest sandwiches ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0813VPL78 | | Best Sellers Rank | 52,963 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 57 in Sandwich Toasters & Panini Presses | | Brand | Cuisinart | | Brand Name | Cuisinart | | Colour | Midnight Grey | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 581 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03030058000476 | | Included Components | Interchangeable plates | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 13D x 14.6W x 7.9H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Griddle & Grill | | Item Weight | 4.58 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cuisinart | | Material | Non stick | | Material Type Free | PTFE Free | | Number of settings | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Dishwasher Safe | | Part Number | GR47BU | | Product Style | Grill + Griddle Interchangeable | | Product Warranty | 3 years. | | Product dimensions | 13D x 14.6W x 7.9H centimetres | | Special feature | Dishwasher Safe | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Type | full warranty | | Wattage | 1500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cuisinart - **Colour:** Midnight Grey - **Included components:** Interchangeable plates - **Item weight:** 4.58 Kilograms - **Material:** Non stick - **Product dimensions:** 13D x 14.6W x 7.9H centimetres - **Special feature:** Dishwasher Safe - **Style:** Grill + Griddle Interchangeable - **Voltage:** 120 Volts - **Wattage:** 1500 watts ## Images ![Cuisinart Grill and Griddle, Sandwich toaster, panini press, contact grill, electric griddle, Non-stick removable plates, dishwasher safe, Health grill, less oil, Midnight Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nNBrD9exL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does switching the temperature dial to 0 switch it off or do you have to switch off at the plug?** A: Timer only alarms at the time that has elapsed.

Seems about right. **Q: Would the waffle plates fit this model ? cuisinart gr-wafp griddler waffle plates https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/b00452nt2u/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9agifbj4** A: Doubtful. The plates in the griddle are 30.2 x 24.3 cm, which doesn't match exactly the waffle dimensions. Also, the attachment points don't look quite the same. **Q: what are the dimensions of the plates, please? Not the whole machine, but the size of the removable plates. Thanks!** A: 24 by 30cm.

Avoid! *by C***A on 3 July 2025* Last model I bought in 2012, still.runnimg fine but plates were too scratched. Now this one, bought in 2025, today the timmer button fell off, and there is no customer support option. Abysmal quality. I would rather return the item, as it is not fit for purpose if buttons fall off after 10 uses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cuisinart Grill and Griddle, Sandwich toaster, panini press, contact grill, electric griddle, Non-stick removable plates, dishwasher safe, Health grill, less oil, Midnight Grey - Cuisinart Multi-Temp Jug electric kettle, Fast boil, 3KW, Cordless, Frosted Pearl, Stainless Steel finish, 1.7L Capacity, Adjustable temperature, Removable washable anti-scale filter - Cuisinart 2 slice toaster, Wide slots, ideal for thick bread and bagels, 6 browning levels plus defrost, Wide slots, High lift lever, Matching kettle available, Vintage Rose --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/171023771-cuisinart-grill-and-griddle-sandwich-toaster-panini-press-contact-grill](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/171023771-cuisinart-grill-and-griddle-sandwich-toaster-panini-press-contact-grill) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
