Toasted sandwich makers are pretty simple beasts so they are very similar. This one is unusual because it doubles up as a panini toaster and waffle maker (i.e. it simply has three different plates). The by-product of that is that, because the plates are removable, this makes it very easy to clean - far easier than the average toasted sandwich maker.It stores upright (great for small kitchens) and has a cord tidy (i.e. a piece of plastic that you wrap the cable around).Disadvantages:• It is slightly top-heavy when upright so you have to be careful – catch it and it can tip over. This does irritate me. It is the only problem with itTips:• Don’t overfill the sandwiches because, if you do,

My daughter really wanted waffles and my son, toasties, hence why I thought this would be perfect choice. I’d read reviews about waffles not rising or sticking and were pleasantly surprised that neither of these things happened. We followed the recipe in the leaflet that comes with it and greased the plates with the smallest swipe of melted butter. Once cooked, a little lift at one side with a spatula and they lifted right off leaving a clean cooking plate. I would say that they cooked quicker on the underneath side and when cooked they look underdone on the top, but when you peek under you can see it’s nicely browned...and you can’t have a hungry gang of kids waiting for them as they take at least 8 minutes to cook.

Easy to store, clean and use, the Russell Hobbs 3 in 1 is a delight to use.Comes well packaged with device and instructions. Instructions are easy to follow and come with basic recipes to get you started.It's simple to use. Attach the plates you want to use (and clip in and out with ease), plug it in (there isn't an on and off button), and wait for the green light to come on (this will tell you when it's hot enough). When it's ready pop in your ingredients, and wait. That's it.It comes with 3 different plates which will allow you to make a toasty sandwich, waffles or a panini. As the plates can be removed you can clean it with ease. And this is what I love about this product.

This sandwich maker has three sets of plates. A waffle maker, the grill and the traditional sandwich maker. All the plates come out – then nonstick – so they're easily washable. All you do is plug the toaster in and wait for the green light to show which means it is reached the correct temperature. It recommends fresh medium sliced bread – and of course you butter on the outside.The sandwich takes approximately 4 to 5 minutes to cook. You can also use pizza base or ciabatta or presumably panini although it doesn't mention this in the instructions. It suggests also fruit loaf.The grilling plates work just like an ordinary grill with which you use a little cooking all butter.The instructions

I am partial to a cheese and ham toastie, have been since my teens, and my diet at uni would have been all the poorer without one.This is the first time I have tried a non Breville, and this Russell Hobbs 3 in 1 is pretty good and is ideal for smaller kitchens or groaning gadget cupboard like mine.The controls are it's on or off, and there is an indicator light when ready. The plates are easy to swap out, and assuming you don't overfill, (years of scraping welded cheese have taught me not to) are easy enough to clean and are dishwasher safe.The sandwich plates are deep enough for a reasonable amount of filling, the panini or grill plates produce a good result, but some kind of temperature control would have been useful,

I bought this a week ago, delivery was quick and although it is not the fastest cooking in the world it is very convenient. I have used it for toasties and as long as you don't overfill it its terrific. Yes the plates make them easy to clean and you have to be careful so as not to jam up the locking mechanism as filling like that will cause some to leak under the plates but as long as you clean that area as soon as its cool enough no problem. I have also used this for cooking bacon and beefburgers and onion without issue, again not the fastest but for a 6 ox burger it took 30 minutes just turning them half way through very convenient as you don't need to watch them like a hawk.

I truly can't fault this very versatile sandwich toaster - not only can it toast sandwiches but it can make waffles as well which is a nice extra and something we haven't tried before but having that option is certainly fun.I'm pleased that this has the clip to clamp the maker down - this makes the sandwiches toast better and keeps them together night and tight.There's only one heat setting but this is effective and heats up very quickly - it makes perfect sandwiches and with practise, perfect waffles - it takes a few go's to get the correct time to cook them for etc - but however they came out they were still delicious.Nice to have a waffle maker and sandwich toaster in one - if you were interested in both appliances then this is obviously a space saving option.Recommended,

So easy to use and so easy to clean. I’m disabled and even I can manage it very easily. A few people said the clip breaks easily but if you don’t over fill and push down slowly, it clips very easily. This really does a great job of sandwiches. The plates are very non stick so food pops out without trouble. Even melted cheese just peels right off. If you want to use something to help get food out, bear in mind the non stick coating shouldn’t be scratched with metal utensils. Cleaning them is a breeze, just a wipe down with damp kitchen roll is all it takes. I wouldn’t advise putting it in a bowl or soaking. It doesn’t need it and it looks like it might rust. A damp tea towel,

This is a nice multi-functional device, with interchangeable cooking plates for deep fill toasties, panini, and waffles that are easy to swap over - slide two clips for each plate to release catches holding them in place, then simply slide in the desired plates. The build quality is good, and the design nicely compact.This has only one heat setting and gets up to temperature quickly, with a green readiness indicator light coming on alongside a red power indicator when cooking temperature has been attained. In use, the handle remains cool.I have found that when this is set up with the plates to make waffles the cook isn't entirely even - with the back outer corners of the batter on the underside

If you have separate waffle, panini and toastie makers then you will love this and save a ton of space. If you don't but enjoy eating them then you will love this too. The beauty of this thing is that it does all three and it does all three very well. OK, I could grumble just a tad at the plastic but the stainless insert does raise the perceived quality just enough to earn a 5***** review.It's very easy to use. The plates just snap in and out no problem. The real boon for me is cleaning the plates is literally take them out, put in the dishwasher and relax. The whole toastie maker cleaning properly problem thing is over. Price is about right.

i bought this for university as i wanted something fairly small and versatile. I love the 3 in 1 function and have used all 3 plates. Its easy to detach plates to clean but the plates are still sturdy when attached. i like the simple the green/red light function to be able to tell when my cheese toastie is done. i have noticed if you use regular bread (not a mini load), it may be a bit big for the toastie plate but i dont really mind this. its more ideal for people who travel a lot and want to travel relatively light. it has multi function use and useful for a single person. It probably wouldnt be ideal for a big family as the small and compact nature of this means it would take a long time

We like to make toasted paninis with this - perhaps the easiest. There are two lights - red for power on, and green for having reached the operating temperature. All you need to do is fill the panini (or other soft roll) with your favourite fillings, put in the oven, close and wait a minute. It's normal to then open, judge whether cooked sufficiently, then move the panini 90 degrees (so the lines cross) and give a further warming, usually for 30 seconds or so.The three sets of plates are easy to change, and being removable, easy to clean too. It can be stored on its side, so not taking so much room in the kitchen.

Having a teenage son means we have to provide unlimited carbs at any hour, the Russell Hobbs sandwich maker has given my son the chance to make food himself. Making sandwiches is of course very simple, the sandwich maker turns them into toasties without fuss. My son has tried ham & cheese and tuna and they taste pretty good. The problem now will be to stop him making so many. Waffles not tried out as too much fuss really!Construction of the machine is the usual RH quality, no issues at all, it feels very robust.Great product which will get a lot of use.

I like this product . I read the reviews before purchasing about faults and burning smell etc. But mine turn out to be great. I made oats waffles and toasties( just cut the bread to fit in don’t overfill) . Its takes few minutes to heat up and waffle turn out great . I also used wheat flour instead of white flour just a bit and oats flour, sweetener, vannila essence, milk , egg, cocunut oil just a bit , ginger powder cinnamon powder . So delicious ?. I will recommend this product and its also a space saver as its little

Only drops a star for the poor quality of the instructions. The description of the product says you can make Paninis but there are not any instructions to that end in the tiny manual. I have not tried the waffle function but the grill and the toasted sandwich maker are good . It heats up very quickly and bread doesn't stick. The plates come in and out and wash quite easily. However the sprung lugs that hold the plates in place are very prone to catching crumbs or worse that oozes out during cooking.
