After trying several Grill and Sandwich Makers over the years, I was pleasantly surprised to find that The Cuisinart 2 in 1 is the best by far.  It is easily assembled and quick and easy to change the grill and sandwich griddle pads.  Unlike other items on the market when toasting sandwiches there is no leaks from the side of the machine even with substantial amounts of fillings. The Grill is perfect for steaks and grilled chicken with no oil needed, due to its high performance non-stick coating.
