Retro Panini Grill

It works perfectly well.I have two minor complaints.One is that there is no real on/off switch.If you have it plugged in, and the heat dial at minimum, it still heats.That's important to be aware of.It's not your ordinary toaster, which doesn't do anything unless you push down the slider.Second problem is MUCH less important.The clip that's supposed to hold the top and bottom together in storage is totally worthless.Just don't depend on it.

That being said, it works very nicely as a panini press.The lid is flexible, and has a heat proof spot where you can tilt it to accomodate the thickness of your panini.The heat dial is generally accurate, so if you follow your instincts or the little cookbook, things turn out well.It's easy to clean up.I don't have enough room on the counter to let it out, but like most DeLonghi stuff, the style is very nice.
