I saw this advertised on the tv & it is as good as I was expecting. I have had a few sandwich makers, but none as good as this one. like I said it’s compact, so does not take up a lot of room & is easy to store away. You can fill the sandwich’s with a lot of fillings & the edges are sealed, so no escape & mess. As you can take out the plates & clean them, this is another plus. I would highly recommend this sandwich maker, if like me you into quick snacks.
