This is a great grill in this price range, and overall we're super happy with it:

Pros:
* Super easy to clean! Removable and dishwasher-safe plates are awesome!
* Non-stick coating is excellent - I don't even bother buttering/oiling the bread anymore, and we still get paninis with nice crispy outsides.
* Grills in this price range tend to be on the lighter (weight) side, but I've had no issues making excellent paninis with sourdough, ciabata and focaccia bread.
* Size is perfect for two sandwiches - I make the kids' first so they can cool a bit while I make ours.
* Difficult to burn the food - it doesn't get hot enough (even at max heat) to burn the bread, unlike making a grilled sandwich on a stove top.

Cons:
* Temperature control isn't really needed - off and max are the only settings we use.
* The floating hinge isn't perfect, so I find I need to rotate (from front of grill toward the back) the sandwiches part-way through cooking to ensure even grilling.
