Sensio 13267 Bella Cucina Nonstick Panini Grill

I bought this particular panini press due to the small size, which was important to me b/c I don't have alot of kitchen storage. It is perfect for 2 sandwiches. It has a great non-stick coating which is super easy to clean. I wipe it down with a wet paper towel. So far I have only used it on the highest heat setting and it works fast and produces perfectly crunchy sandwiches on the outside and warm, melted ingredients on the inside. It's also very attractive with its highly polished chrome exterior.

My only negative points and the only reason I did not give it 5 stars: The plastic lock (which holds the top and bottom together for easier moving/storage) is difficult to latch and does not stay put. The plastic drip tray is a bit flimsy. And so far, in my experience, the heating light does not work properly. It stays on all of the time instead of indicating "ready". But that is not really a problem for me as I can tell when its hot (only takes a few minutes).

I admit, this is my first panini maker. I read alot of reviews here on Amazon before choosing this one based soley on its size. And I seem to be the first to review this one. It was between this one and a George Foreman grill. And once I touched the GF grill in person at a store, I didn't like it. Trust me, this is a much better quality appliance and well worth the money! So overall, I would highly recommend it!

I recently bought a Bella Cucina Panini press (mine had ridges, not smooth like the one pictured). It works great. Heats up fast, cooks fast and is easy to clean. I have used it 6 or 7 times over the past 2 weeks. Turns an ordinary sandwich into something really delicious. I can fit two sandwiches on it at a time. I can stack several slices of meat and cheese (and tomatoes) to get a nice panini.

I don't normally take the time to write a review but would like to warn prospective buyers about this one. I bought mine from Macy's and returned it. I agree with the other negative comments that were written but mine actually came apart on the third use. There is a simple pin on each side that holds the upper plate. When I lifted the hot lid it swung free and I was very fortunate not to have it fall on my hand. When the item cooled we tried to replace the pin but it was defective and could not be secured. Even if this had not happened the lid has to be held open with one hand while you either put the sandwich in or attempt to remove it. I read Amazon's reviews on the Panini machines and ordered a Cuisinart from Amazon.

I bought this just because I wanted something different and Im happy that I did. Making a grilled chesse sandwich has never been easier! I find myself using this for many other things as well and everything come out just right and looking "restaurant style". I will purchase the bigger version in the future.
