Review: Good for Light Use, Just Not the Right Fit for Me - This mini griddle is compact, heats up quickly, and is easy to clean. It works well for simple meals like eggs or pancakes. I ended up returning it because I needed something with a bit more surface area and flexibility. For the price, it is a solid choice if you are cooking small portions or working with limited space. Nice design overall — just not the best match for my needs.
Review: Must have for any kitchen big or small. - I can't compare it to another, however I love it, so simple to use and I cannot wait to try an assortment of recipes that I can make. As a single person this is a must have appliance. Easy to use and easy to clean up. The pricing is great, it is well made design, so easy nothing sticking to the unit and the heat level is perfect not to hot so I worried the cheese would burn but it did not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the little panini maker that could

not the most powerful panini maker, but gets the job done well. its not fast by any measure. if you don't mind waiting for 5-7 minutes for a panini it will do well
