Aigostar Sandwich Toaster 2000W Toastie Maker, Deep Fill Panini Press with Improved Non-Stick Coating, 180° Flat Open Large Grill, Adjustable Temperature Control, Drip Tray, Stainless Steel - Samson

The best I’ve ever owned . Works great easy to clean.

Powerful, Versatile, and Toastie Heaven! Absolutely love this sandwich press — it heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and the 2000W power gives a proper crunch to your toasties and paninis. Plenty of space for deep-fill sandwiches, and it handles burgers and veggies just as well. The adjustable temperature control is a great feature, and the fact it opens flat to double as a grill is a bonus I didn’t realise I needed! Non-stick coating makes cleaning up easy, and the drip tray catches the mess. Feels sturdy, looks smart on the counter, and has quickly become a daily-use bit of kit in my kitchen.

Disappointingly small but it toasts really really well! Good quality plates. Arrived quickly.

Crap. Half the sizes quoted - lucky if you can get 2 slices of bread in there, never mind fillings.

It cook well, it's heats up fast, it's take a min to clean

No temperature control what you expect for the price? Easy to clean and use, I do recommend to go for 1000w unit unless you want to wait by it for half hour or you not bother how long it takes to fully finish a panini, but then you can get a more expensive one with 1000w or less and will be the same. Did spot one thing people are doing wrongly, they press the lid on the panini or sandwich has hard as they can and lock the locking clip for storage then complaint they got a pancake instead a panini 😂 It is built with very flimsy plastics and metals so be gentle and will last( press the lid gradually every few seconds instead in one brute force expecting to be ready in 5seconds. If does me for 6 months 10 people using it 5 days a week in my garage work place I’m happy

Not being a fussy cook I find this easy to use. I've only used it to cook a variety of pork chops and chicken breasts. They cook very quickly and I use a digital thermometer to ensure that they are thoroughly cooked. I use a piece of cooking foil folded in 2 and make a lip on 3 sides on the bottom half. I spray olive oil on the foil. When up to temperature I place the meat on the foil and carefully close the unit. I check the temperature and when O.K I remove the meat leaving the foil in situ. Turn off the unit and leave to cool. When the fat and juices solidify I throw the foil in the bin. Result, virtually no mess on the non stick surfaces. Used it for a couple of weeks and still looks like it did when I got it out of the box. I might start getting adventurous soon. The control of the temperature is something that you will have to experiment with. All in all I'm quite happy with the unit, as to longevity only time will tell. If I have any problem I will enter another review.

I bought this toastie to replace a much smaller one and it is an absolute joy to use. Toasted sandwiches come out beautifully done with the filling cooked just right. It is easy to clean. I have yet to use it as an open griddle but have no reason to suppose this will be great too.
