The manual is easy to understand and sufficiently explained. However, I would have wished that at least approximate value information is included, how long you should at what level grilling what things. This is unfortunately not the case.
The first test of Club Sandwiches thus went once thoroughly in the pants. Odor is according to the manufacturer during the first use normal. This was aware and bothered even entertaining.
I then grilled club sandwiches at the highest level and want to carefully look after 2.5 minutes, when they had almost the color of the inner life ;-)
With a little Try it went better.
The Belgian waffles succeed very well after one or two unsuccessful attempts. (Recipes can be found easily on the Internet). Nothing staring them to the dough and you can also easily solve the waffles with a wooden scraper.
After use allow the unit to cool for about 30 minutes, then it can be cleaned. You can detach the internal parts at your fingertips and clean in the dishwasher. I, however, do it under running water just by hand. The non-stick coating this succeeds jiffy.
Supplied with a plate set for Croque Monsieur is also included. This saves you the preheating and benefits of an oven. In principle this is a good idea, but impractical for a multi-person household when everyone should eat at the same time. But if you want a bite to eat to prepare for the kids, provides you with Cuisinart here a great device.
What I personally find very great, is the versatility offered by this device. While the man grilling meat, make the Griddler beside him on the table and toasting bread incidentally, what the man leaves anyway char on the grill ;-)
The only drawback is the high price of just 100 euros. There are on the market much more favorable parts of course are not as high then and plastic instead of stainless steel, but for an occasional use, the price / performance ratio is quite inappropriate.
CONCLUSION: Compact all-purpose unit to high price
