I’m a 40ish year old woman, who is no Rachel Ray, but I love how multiple types of food can be cooked at the same time, with the same appliance. My favorite thing to make though, is Grilled cheese, because the panini press makes it extra crispy. Its so much easier, And the Cuisinart Griddler 5 couldn’t be any easier to Clean! 
This appliance is a bit pricey, but If anyone who could afford one of these asked me if they should get one, would say Heck YES. I use it all the time. This is a perfect appliance for little spaces. I’d even take it camping with me if there was electricity.
