The Good: Heats up fast. Works really well. Does everything it says. Top and bottom equal temps. Even heat distribution. Great size for 1-2 people (I can fit 2 actual full size burgers on this thing). This is way better than a Foreman, at a better price. It's actually a Panini-type grill, because of the swivel-hinged top - so it's an even flat press on whatever you're making, unlike the angled Foreman lid. The Foreman is also not a 2-burger grill, for the 2 cheapest ones. It's just shaped improperly tbh. So esp given the significant price difference, this is a clear winner - with a few small buts to come. A couple reviews mentined there's no temp adjustment. This is true. I was concerned it just heated up and kept going, but no it has a max it reaches and tries to stay there. Honestl, I don't see much of a reason to need temp, personally. But I'm using this for Burgers occasionally, sausages, mostly sandwiches/wraps, I did make hash browns because another reviewer did - went fine, but no need in my case, I have enough pans. But yeah if you had limited alternative stovetop options, this can do a lot. If you've ever worked a commercial similar grill, this is a mini immitation. The top is like aluminum and can dent, but it's not like poorly made. But the result is identical IMO. If you've used some you may know a lot of them don't have removable plates, and you already know how to clean these - wet paper towel while it's still hot (just you know be careful). The nonstick is A+. The not so good: The grease runoff. Or lack thereof. So this thing isn't angled to have the grase run to the back - which is good, because it's also not angled to have it run to the center to the spout. Notice I didn't mention trying bacon - after seeing the burger situation, bacon ain't happening unless you're forcing that grease to the spout with a mini spatula or something. But - I assumed this when i saw the pictures. This is common with commercial ones also. Here, the Foreman has a better system. The reason this gets a pass is my tempered expectations - I suspected this to be the case, bought it anyway. The instructions even say this is a Sandwich grill, so they're really not even aiming at meats. Again, 2 burgers was fine. Keep an eye opn the bacon if you don't want a super messy cleanup. The only other thing is lack of removable plates. Again, I knew this. So this is more of a feature request. Along with a request for flipping plates with a smooth side. This would increase the cost but I'd do it. The bottom line: Works as described, grease runoff could be better. Price is a fair shake, I'd even say $20 instead of the $16 I paid would be fair. The size is perfect for smaller kitchens, no kitchens, or just as an add-on to your great kitrchen without heaving an appliance in and out of siome closet or taking up a lot of space on your counter. The company makes a good product so if they make something else that you may want but are unsure about the cost, go for it. If you just want a convenient little electric grill that gets the job done for basic stuff and more, accepting the "non-premium" caveats, this was one of the better buys I've made.

This machine not only delivers delicious sandwiches but also evokes fond memories of my childhood in Brazil, where I used a similar device to make sandwiches The design is user-friendly, making it easy to achieve that perfect crispy exterior while ensuring the fillings are warm and gooey. I love how versatile it is; I can prepare everything from classic ham and cheese to more adventurous combinations. The non-stick plates make cleanup a breeze, which is a huge plus after enjoying a satisfying meal. What truly makes this sandwich maker special for me is the nostalgia it brings. Each time I use it, I’m reminded of the afternoons spent in my family’s kitchen, experimenting with ingredients and sharing laughs over our favorite sandwiches. It’s a delightful way to reconnect with my roots while enjoying modern convenience. Overall, this sandwich maker has not only met my expectations but has also become a beloved tool in my home. It’s a perfect blend of functionality and sentimentality, making every meal a trip down memory lane. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their sandwich game!

Made a really nice grilled cheese. I like that it was crispy but not burnt. Also nice that it comes with other trays for things other than a grilled cheese. Only thing I don't like is that the press doesn't split the bread in half it just compresses it and it hardens when it cooks making it hard to split it by hand. I wish it just cut the bread when i closed the lid.

I originally bought this item in July 2018, and after more than six years of regular [daily/weekly] use, I'm finally replacing it - with a new version of the same device. It's been excellent in its role as a space saving countertop multipurpose grill and sandwich maker. I didn't use the waffle plates as much, but when I did, they worked fine. The key is what you expect from it. This item works best as a way to prepare single person meals. I've used it to make toast, fry eggs, make "pancakes" as well as waffles, as a panini press, to heat up veggie patties ... it's quite versatile. It heats quickly and cooks fairly well. The plates are not difficult to switch out and are easily cleaned. I use an oil spritzer for even oiling and have had few problems with food sticking over the years. My only real problem was with the plates getting scratched, and when I wrote to Ovente they were able to provide me with replacements. When I noticed some uneven heating today - something that has never been a problem before - I found what appears to be a cracked lower element. After 6+ years of nearly daily use, I can accept this as a reasonable end of life cycle, and will replace with a new one. In terms of value for money, I think I've done okay with this product.

When the waffle iron I'd had for 20+ years broke recently, I thought what I really wanted was a compact, countertop product that can do more than make waffles. If it gets a foot of my very limited counter space, it has to earn it's place by serving several functions, being easy to use, easy to clean and complete it's work rather quickly. The Ovente 3-in-1 Electric sandwich maker is all of that and more for a really good price. It has panini press plates, waffle plates and triangular sandwich plates that are super easy to switch out and clean. The unit features lights that tell you when it is on and when the plates are at the right temperature to cook your food. No smoking, no mess, no fuss and no waiting. It heats up safely and quickly and features a stay-cool handle so there are no burnt fingers. I've used it to cook fish filets, chicken breast, burgers, grilled cheese and so many other things so far. It was under $30 when I got mine and at $24.99 at the time of this review. Best money you'll spend for superior kitchen utility.

This press grill works great. Makes grilled cheese or any other grilled sandwich so fast. Bread does not stick to either plate. Cleans effortlessly. Great deal!

De muy buen material y con la facilidad de poder programarlo. La temperatura viene en grados Fahrenheit, pero no genera mayor problema

Llegó mucho antes de la fecha esperada, de acuerdo a las especificaciones. Muy útil.
