OSTBA APPLIANCE ZJ-521 Sandwich Toaster, Toastie Maker, Grill with Non-Stick Plates, 1500W, Aluminium, 1200 W, Indicator Lights Panini Press

I do not normally write reviews but I just had to say something about this little machine. It is the easiest grill to clean and it has a drip tray for the top grill which is just great for catching the drips I have had very expensive grills that do not have this and they are a pain as the moisture runs on the worktop but not with this one. I would give it a 5 star rating.

It works ok and it’s reasonably priced. It heats up quickly.It was replacing a much more expensive machine so it was a bit of a punt as to whether it would be adequate. It is not as good, the insides don’t get quite as hot, the cheese doesn’t get quite as well-melted. It’s a much smaller surface area but it can fit 2 paninis or 2 rounds of toasted sandwiches.However for the reasonable price tag, it’s decent and we’re going to keep it as we weren’t using all the fancy extra functions of the Cuisinart so couldn’t justify paying for another one. The slight shortcomings can be overcome by pressing the lid down more and/or by altering the panini/sandwich position.

This is a a good kitchen accessory and a must have for the health conscious! It has a easy to clean surface and intuitive controls. You can open it and effectively use is an a griddle as both layers become parallel. It also has a useful lip to drip the excess fuices away- if you are familiar with main brand grills, this is an improved version of those due to the variable heat control.

good quality, fair price

I've had the product for several months now and it's been great for burgers, chicken etcIt doesn't take up much room, easy to clean and having a variable temperature control is a must have for this type of grill.The only reason I've given this rating is because some of the none stick coating has started to bubble and peel off, but I will probably buy another when this one eventually becomes unusable.

Brilliant sandwich toaster for the price...easy to use and easy to clean...

It’s definitely does the job and makes delicious toasted cheese sandwiches. I only wish that it was possible to remove the metal plates so that they could be properly washed. They are not detachable and accordingly after making a message to sandwich you have to wait for the machine to cool down and then clean it with paper kitchen towel or similar

I like the look of this toaster, I’ve used it once already, but still going to experiment with different fillings.I don’t think the grooves are deep enough for multiple fillings with thick bread.Got to try different heat settings as well to see how things turn out. Amazon delivery was super quick as usual.
