Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

They bought for a very modest price for such a performance (about 1400).
I liked that the case looks much more reliable than analogues in the same price category.
The instructions say that you need to warm up the sandwich maker before the first use until the light goes out, which was done. After cooling and reheating, there was no longer any smell (in some reviews I met the opposite, but we don’t have this).

The surfaces heat up quickly enough and you can start cooking (while the sandwich is being assembled on the table, the device is already warmed up and ready for use).
After cooking, melted cheese is easily removed with a napkin without leaving any traces.

As such, tight closure is not a disadvantage, because even if you don’t snap it, the sandwich warms up well on both sides, but for lovers of “roasted” you will have to hold the handle a little to press and fry the bread.

We are satisfied with the purchase, we will use it on a regular basis, I think everything will be fine with a sandwich maker for a long time.

Pros

1. Comfortable handle 2. Heats surfaces quickly 3. Easy to clean (even without using oil) 4. The chemical smell disappeared after the first warm-up 5. Good value for money 6. The coating of the heating surfaces looks reliable (compared with the Chinese noname, in which the coating began to peel off after a couple of weeks)

Cons

In my opinion, the disadvantage is the latch. If you cook a hot sandwich (sausage-cheese-greens), then you won’t be able to fix the surfaces with a latch, otherwise all the cheese will spread around, so you need to periodically squeeze the handle for a few seconds to get a fried crust.
