Cuisinart GR4

Pros: Looks good, makes good grilled sandwiches. Has both flat and ribbed plates, opens flat.

Cons: Grilling meats is messy, uneven heat, small cooking area.

Review: My experience with this unit has been one of frustration due to the very short lip around the edge of the grill plates. Grilling anything with a somewhat high moisture content (like burgers) causes the resulting fat/liquid from the meat to overflow...

Pros: The champ. Does everything the best.

Cons: Hard to clean and doesn't make coffee.

The Bottom Line: The best tasting griller on the market.
It's only con is that it's expensive.
It's twin brother the GR8 is 50% less at Costco and other larger chains.

Review: I had this griller for a week before replacing it with its brother the GR-8 which is nearly identical and costs about half at Costco. The only difference between the two models is that the GR8 has a shiny top which shows stains quicker and so needs...

Pros: Style, ease of cleaning, even heating, easy to use

Cons: No waffle maker option; could have saved $40 at Costco

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys grilled sandwiches, steaks, fish, paninis, pancakes.

Review: My first countertop electric grill was a George Forman...no thermostat and a bear to clean. Then along came the Hamilton Beach...removal grills, dishwasher safe. But the HB was only fair at grilling sandwiches because it didn't have the compound...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean. Very versatile.

Cons: It's heavy and bulky, but that's not worth complaining about.

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to buy a panini maker. It's so versatile that you can use it for other things as well.

Review: I purchased this product for my husband for his birthday. He'd been eyeing it up ever since the first time he heard about it. I shopped around for a while before deciding to buy it at Best Buy. I had some Best Buy Rewards to spend and it was around...

Pros: you can make paninis

Cons: hard to clean

Review: I bought and I thought it will wonderful but it's very hard to clean sometimes is imposible, if you use only for paninis it's ok without cheese, you can buy for less other products whit the same results.

Pros: quick, attractive, versatile, easy to operate

Cons: cleaning the grill surface is a bit much.

Review: bought this griddler a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it.

I read the reviews here on epinions and found that the griddler merits its good rating.

It works real fast, I can cook burgers in five minutes! bacon tastes better...

Pros: Grill plates remove to go in dishwasher.

Cons: Not hot enough to cook steaks. Cooks pancakes too slow. Needs more wattage.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an indoor grill/griddle that gets HOT - this is not the one for you. Good for panini and grilled cheese sandwiches. OK for THIN steaks.

Review: I purchased this grill/panini/griddle by Cuisinart because I wanted a panini maker. This machine will make a nice panini for you. The bread will brown nicely and the meat/cheese/veggies inside will be a good temperature for eating.

If you...

Pros: Quick to heat up, easy to clean, extremely versatile, good looks. Cooks evenly and quickly.

Cons: Depending on what you're cooking can splatter the surrounding counter space.

Review: My gas grill is gathering dust since this beauty arrived in the house. Great for Paninis, quesadillas, grilled sandwiches, grilling burgers, steaks, fish and chicken.

Love the fact that I can remove and place the hot plates in the...

Pros: none

Cons: terrible customer service

Review: My griddler did not work from day one. 6 calls to customer service with lots of run arounds has gotten me no where. Asked to fax in proof of purchase before they will speak to me, but no one can ever "find the fax" so I guess I am out of luck. Don't...

Pros: It's easy to use

Cons: Not very big

Review: Not only does this product cook great food, it also is extremely durable and easy to use! Even if you don't have great cooking skills, you'll be able to amaze everyone with the great tastes that will come out of the fine machine.
