- Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2023The Gotham Steel Breakfast Sandwich Maker, a 2-in-1 panini press and sandwich grill, had its share of positives, but the inability to remove the copper plates for cleaning proved to be a significant drawback for me.
Pros:
1. Versatile Functionality: The 2-in-1 design as a panini press and sandwich grill is a convenient feature, offering flexibility in preparing various breakfast options and grilled sandwiches.
2. Nonstick Surface: The nonstick coating on the copper plates worked well for preventing sticking and made cleaning easier on the surface itself.
3. Easy Cut Edges: The sandwich maker's easy cut edges feature is a thoughtful addition, providing neatly sliced sandwiches without the need for an additional knife.
Cons:
1. Non-Removable Copper Plates: The main drawback for me was the inability to remove the copper plates for thorough cleaning. Despite attempting to open it up with a screwdriver, the plates remained electronically connected, making it challenging to clean thoroughly.
2. Cleaning Difficulty: Due to the non-removable plates, cleaning the sandwich maker's interior was cumbersome, and it required extra care to prevent water from reaching the electronic components.
3. Indicator Light Issue: While the indicator light initially worked fine, it began malfunctioning after a few uses, making it less reliable as a visual cue for readiness.
4. Durability Concerns: Over time, I noticed some wear and tear on the nonstick coating, raising concerns about the product's long-term durability.
In conclusion, the Gotham Steel Breakfast Sandwich Maker offers versatility with its 2-in-1 functionality, and the nonstick surface and easy cut edges are beneficial features. However, the inability to remove the copper plates for proper cleaning significantly affected my overall experience.
The cleaning difficulty and concerns about durability, coupled with the malfunctioning indicator light, add to the product's shortcomings. While it may be suitable for occasional use, the cleaning limitations and durability concerns may deter frequent use.
Considering the positives and negatives, I rate the Gotham Steel Breakfast Sandwich Maker with a mixed three stars. It has potential for improvement, particularly in addressing the cleaning challenges associated with the non-removable copper plates.
