    The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

    Buy - do not hesitate. The younger model (12d) has only one grooved plate, the other is flat. Be sure to put it under the hood - otherwise the apartment will smell like food.

    Pros
    • Grill is the bomb! Big, beautiful, comfortable, non-stick coating works. Washes in the dishwasher. The scraper included is very handy. It heats up very quickly.
    Cons
    • Short cord (1m). A small backlash of buttons and knobs - for such money you expect complete clarity. Very bulky, but it fits a lot.

    I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

    I've been using it for half a year. Fully corresponds to the description. The plates are quite thick, heating is fast and uniform. Easy to operate, easy to clean. It is better to take with four plates, so the grill will last longer.

    Pros
    • Best steak grill for the money. Due to the location of the heating element over the entire area of ​​the panel, we have more uniform heating, and the temperature of 230 degrees seals the steak and the meat turns out juicy.
    Cons
    • Not the most convenient adjustment of the position of the upper surface, but not critical.

    Before that, for 2 years I had been mocking meat with a grill from the "dishwasher champion" company, I thought grills were all like that, until I accidentally saw this one in the store. With a price of only 2 times higher than that company, and even taking into account 4 panels in the kit, it simply leaves no chance for competitors!

    Pros
    • Just eating meat fresh off this grill and thinking "why didn't I buy you sooner"! In the sear mode, it heats the panels up to 300-310 degrees, in just 5 minutes, the heating is quite uniform. The heating element is soldered into the panels, the panels - over a kilogram each, respectively, do not cool down and do not "cook" the meat!
    Cons
    • They don't exist at all!

    Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

    I think I bought waffle plates in vain - I used them three times in 5 months, it is possible without them. I combine flat and wavy plates for quesadillas and sandwiches: flat down for frying, top - wavy for aesthetics Got pros: simple, no frills, but reliable, I'm glad I chose it, and not optigrill. With its cons: it is difficult to set the desired thickness with an accuracy of a millimeter (but this is already nit-picking), the plates with active use will need to be changed about once a year…

    Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

    Used the previous grill for about 10 years and was completely satisfied with it. But his time has come - the coating of the plates began to peel off, the power button to act up and climb out other shortcomings. I decided on this grill, despite its above-average price and did not lose! Compared to my old grill, this grill is much more efficient and the ease of use is a step up. What was very important for me - there is a high-quality performance and a minimum of automation that can interfere…

    Pros
    • Fries great!
    Cons
    • Until I noticed

    I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

    I made an order through amazon (in AzbukaTechniki): the price of the grill was lower than in stores and for vileberis. A couple of minutes later they immediately called back and placed the order and delivery. Competent specialists, very polite and pleasant courier: he helped to unpack everything, asked to connect and check the goods. As a gift put a special cleaning agent. Nice) Electric grill Delonghi 1020 fully met all expectations and even more. There was a choice between model 1020 and…

    Pros
    • Reduces cooking time, perfectly cooks vegetables and meat products.
    Cons
    • Too much smoke when frying meat products.

    A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

    Fast cooking - chicken fillet 1.5 cm thick is cooked for about 4 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C, the meat is juicy and tender without the use of oil, easy care - even if you cook fatty steaks, you do not need to wash the plates under the tap, just wipe them with a paper towel immediately after removing food, and after 7-10 minutes with a damp cloth. To avoid splashes of grease and water, you can put food foil under the bottom plate on the sides and bend it. I use a heat-resistant non-stick

    Pros
    • The most important plus is that the heating element is located inside the plates, which ensures fast heating (~ 3 min), interchangeable panels, this model has an additional set of panels, you can also buy panels separately - not all manufacturers have this possibility, convenient height adjustment of the top panel, high-quality non-stick coating - nothing sticks and no need to use oil for frying
    Cons
    • The fat tray is located behind the grill - you have to move the grill to get it, there is no separate timer button - the countdown starts immediately after setting the time, the plates heat up unevenly over the entire area, there is no heat-resistant spatula to remove food from the grill, the grill is expensive - but it's worth it

    A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

    Has pros: Beautiful design. Ease of Management. Delicious steaks and vegetables. I am satisfied with the purchase. Made with quality. Aluminum, steel, good plastic. Obviously, it's not cheap. But he is worth his money. Has cons: Ribbed plates are difficult to clean. It is necessary to clean it well with the scraper that comes with the kit before laying it in the dishwasher. If you don't clean it, you'll have to wash it again.

    A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

    I was looking for this particular model, with a flat set of 2 pieces and with a ribbed set of 2 pieces. I am quite satisfied with the product itself and there are no questions to the seller. Thank you! With its pros: Bought on black friday with a discount. Everything arrived safe and sound at the stated time. I checked all the functions, the equipment is complete, everything works. How long it will last - time will tell. Has cons: Well, there is only one drawback - when frying, fat is splashed,

    Different pros: Sausages, fish, chops, vegetables are delicious! I love grilled cheesecakes and pancakes! Cons: In principle, no, the only thing is when you fry meat, it smells strongly of food

    Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

    Awesome steaks now cook without the hassle! A little preparation of masa and grill, 2-5 minutes of frying and voila! It’s delicious like in a restaurant, and in cooking it’s no more difficult than dumplings (if according to the recipe, and not just thump in water), in general, I definitely recommend it! Also bread, ofoshchi on it are super obtained. Haven't tried chicken, fish or pork yet. Be sure to take a model with two flat and two corrugated gratings.

    Pros
    • Great cook!
    Cons
    • Haven't found it, at least not yet.

    I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

    Pros: Roomy size for the whole family. Perfect for all meat dishes. Delicious toasts, fish steaks and juicy chicken breast are obtained. Its cons: Recipes and modes in the application are not entirely correct, you need to experiment yourself.

    Despite all the disadvantages described, we can say that the grill is good. Heats up quickly and fries vegetables, meat, etc. well Has pros: Heats up very quickly. Up to a maximum of 230 in a couple of minutes, if not less. Does not smell superfluous except for the first use. Good panels, if not for one thing. About him in shortcomings. Excellent grooves for fat and a large container for it. With its cons: There are complaints about the quality for such money. One of the hinges is loose right…

    Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

    Its pros: The most delicious food is obtained on this grill, there were different ones, there is something to compare Cons below: Recommendations in the instructions, that is, recipes, have nothing to do with reality. Cooking modes were selected empirically.

    Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

    Has pros: Really fries, but does not cook. Everything is very fast and tasty. Dishwasher-washable panels are awesome. Has cons: The instructions in the recipes greatly overestimate the cooking time of meat and everything else.
