When you first turn the sandwich maker smelled beastly.
Although it is stated in the instructions to this effect, but the smell is very strong.
So if possible, let the unit run first 10-15 minutes in the fresh air empty and clean thoroughly after cooling.
After the first 2-3 toasts the smell was then completely disappeared.
Sandwiches succeed in principle very good, however the bearing surfaces are not particularly well suited to the popular jumbo slices of toast.
Occupies one this with cheese and preparing it then runs this quickly, what a pretty mess has given us.
The lack of height adjustment for compression of toasts, the problem is exacerbated because so builds a high pressure by the excessively narrow angle.
However, we have set out and use this only the normal toast, which does not occur on the problem.
The results are plain to see, and very taste but then.
The high temperature in the interior and the non-stick plates, the toast are very evenly brown and taste great.
This also applies to waffles we could "produce" excellent with the device.
Grilled we have not yet with the contact grill and it will not do so due to the small area well.
For our purposes this 3in1 device is indeed suitable, but not torn me with enthusiasm from the stool.
I therefore admit no matter how just 4 stars.
I hope this review could assist you in your buying decision ...
