- Reviewed in Canada on August 22, 2024Verified Purchase"The Chefman Electric Panini Press Grill has quickly become a kitchen favorite in my home! This versatile appliance is ideal for making delicious paninis, gourmet sandwiches, and even grilling vegetables. The non-stick coated plates are a standout feature—they make cleaning a breeze and ensure that nothing sticks, so your sandwiches come out perfectly every time.
The press heats up quickly and evenly, giving a fantastic crispy exterior while keeping the inside deliciously warm. I especially love how it opens flat, allowing me to use it as a grill for various foods. The adjustable temperature control is a nice touch, providing flexibility for different types of sandwiches and grilling needs.
The build quality feels sturdy and durable, and the compact design fits nicely on my countertop without taking up too much space. Whether you're a fan of classic paninis or want to experiment with different types of sandwiches and grilled items, this press delivers exceptional results. It’s a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Highly recommend for anyone who loves making gourmet sandwiches at home!"

- Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2022Verified PurchaseI read a lot of mixed reviews about this product but overall I think that it is pretty good for the price. It is small but it’s perfect to make one sandwich and it doesn’t take long at all. Plus at first I found it difficult to get the sandwich to stay in place but then found out that you can tilt the top to prevent the sandwich from sliding out. Overall for the price it was worth it.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2025Verified Purchase3 stars because I don’t think there is anything wrong with the item but it is VERY small and I feel the listing is somewhat misleading. There’s no way to make two sandwiches in this thing and it would probably only work for a single person. I bought this with my family in mind and I would have to cook each steak, chicken breast, sandwich, etc individually and it would take forever. The lid opens flat for grilling but for making sandwiches the lid is hinged normally and it does squish one side of the bread down nearly flat while the other side is fine.
Overall, it wasn’t worth it to me and I returned it.
Pros: great for a single person with limited space
Cons: too small for a family or a proper, not squished, panini.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is just what I need, the size is good. The heat temperature is controlled. Kids love the grilled cheese, hotdog or sandwich when I used this panini press and for them it’s easy to use.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2025Verified PurchaseI purchased this panini press because of the advertised features, but unfortunately, it has several major flaws:
1. Misleading Adjustability: The marketing and images suggest that the top plate is adjustable and can remain parallel to the bottom plate. In reality, the plates form a “V” shape when closing, which pushes the sandwich forward instead of pressing it evenly.
2. Uneven Heat: The top plate does not heat as effectively as the bottom, leading to uneven cooking results. This defeats the purpose of having a panini press that cooks evenly on both sides.
3. Safety Concerns: Because the top plate cannot stay level, I’ve had to manually adjust the sandwich during cooking to get a proper press, which feels unsafe when dealing with a hot appliance.
While it does work if you’re willing to put in extra effort, it doesn’t live up to the advertised claims or the expectations set by the product images. I wouldn’t recommend this model if you’re looking for true adjustability and even pressing.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2024Verified PurchaseI recently purchased the Chefman Electric Panini Press Grill, and it has been a game-changer for my kitchen. It's compact yet versatile, making it easy to use for more than just paninis—I’ve grilled sandwiches, quesadillas, and even reheated pizza slices with a perfectly crispy crust. The non-stick plates make cleaning up a breeze, and the floating hinge accommodates thicker sandwiches without squishing them. It heats up quickly, and the stainless steel design adds a sleek touch to my counter. Overall, it’s a great buy for anyone who loves quick, gourmet-style meals at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value!
Verified PurchaseI love this thing. As a trucker I use it alot to cook sandwiches and Ill tell you what, once you eat sandwiches that were made by a panini press, its kind of hard to go back. Throw some olive oil on top of your sandwiches and theyll come out crispy and delicious. I bought one for my wife on amazon day as well, and she actually uses it for our kids and herself, and she said my picky son loves the sandwiches that this thing churns out. I mean you could even cook steaks with it and it catches the juices or fats from the meats/sandwiches so if you wanted to, you can create your own gravys with it. Absolute deal ill tell you what.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect little panini press
Verified PurchaseI love this. It small enough so it doesn’t take up much space on the counter or in the cabinet when I put it away. It’s small so you can only make one panini at a time but I knew that when I ordered it. It cooks evenly and is super easy to clean since it came open completely flat.
