I had a brevelle one initially and after year the coating had come off and design was not great so I replaced it with this more expensive one and have to say you can see the difference in design and build.
The design is great with raised edges so the cheese etc does not leak over in the heat elements and the coating is much thicker (I always use non scratch spondge)
The build is solid with can feel the quality difference.
This is the best toasting machine we have used. It is so easy to clean because you can remove the hot plates and it makes thick toasties too.
Had one of these toastie before love it because it toasts the larger bread such as Warburton toastie larger loaf. Unlike other toastie that only fit small loaves in.
Cooks quickly and evenly and makes the perfect cheese and ham toastie. Best we’ve ever had and we have had a few over the years.
This really is the best, plates come out and go in the dishwasher.
No mess made with this machine, a perfectly made sandwich maker.
Makes excellent sandwiches. Cleans in the dishwasher. Don’t need to butter the bread before usin, and sarnies are sealed well and crunchy. Takes a while to warm up, but brilliant.
I’ve been through a few, trying to find a good one, and this is i
It actually toasts the bread, unlike other sandwich makers which only warm the bread
The heated pads remove easily and can be bobbed in the dishwasher, so far we have had no spillage outside the unit , normal sized sliced bread fits fully inside on the heated pads , the adjustable heating enabled us to regulate the speed of the heating up as well as more judgment on the timing
Fits real sized bread easily. Can fill with fillings to your hearts content. Never need to force the lid shut, very easy to clean and operate. Plates click out with a button. Feels sturdy and high quality.
Very easy to use and as the plates come off it’s very easy to clean and small enough to store in the cupboard. There’s nothing not to like.
What’s not to like. Deep pockets for filled toasties, temperature control, no mess and easy to clean, plus recipes
Removable plates ! Easy clean .. no nonsense machine .. press button plate removal .. great produc
The 2 main gripes about this machine seem to be people cant find bread to fit, the slices are too small. I agree but having used it for a month or so it has not presented as a problem, sometime a little leaks out, sometimes not. I do use toastie bread as its a bit thicker.
The other main problem is that the handle breaks off. I cannot comment on that side of it. But because of the number of people commenting on this issue I have modified the way I close the lid by pushing down on the top as I squeeze the handles. I hope this will work. The cooking side of the machine is very satisfactory and its a doddle to clean with the removable plates.
Works very well, does what is supposed to do. But watch out when you clean it, the top section of the heating plate is prone to falling off. The catch mechanism is very basic and doesn’t hold the plate in place when almost closed/ closed meaning you might not be able to get at your sandwich until it cools down. There was no damage done during cleaning it is just poor design.
This looks and feels like a good quality item. It’s easy to use, the toasties come out evenly heated/browned and the removable plates are easy to clean. The instructions say they will go in a dishwasher, although I have only washed them in the sink as I don’t want to risk damaging the coating. Highly recommend this toasted sandwich maker.
What can I say, amazing technology, makes the best toasties, fits your Warbutons bread nicely without having to cut any crust off. Non stick and cleans like a dream.
This was a replacement for a succession of cheap
plastic toasted sandwich makers which were unable to cope
with crusts or thick bread.
I love this toasted sandwich maker. It is durable,
it looks good and makes traditional toasted sandwiches
which come out sealed, steaming hot and
will burn your mouth if you are not careful!
I haven’t used this as yet but gave it all 5 stars on each as I have had one for years and we love it. It’s not the cheapest on the market but you pay for what you get.
Until today this was the best toastie maker I’ve used. It now trips out the RCD on the mains every time I turn it on! Very dissapointing considering it has had less than 1 year of light use. One star awarded.
This was returned to Cuisinart and they have sent it back in working order so I have given it 4 stars partly based on good customer service. I just hope it lasts a bit longer this time.
After plenty of research reading indipendant reviews as one does these days.. I finally ordered it. I was was however encouraged by the fact that I already have a Cuine Art toast maker that was gifted to me buy a close friend. Received it on time and as described. I have only had it for a few days however I have made plenty of cheese toasties. The bread is toasted evenly, golden brown and cheese sealed in and melted nicy. Lovely little machine and like all things, I will take care of it so that it takes care of me. It looks and feels durable and reliable as I’d expect from Cuisine Art. So far I feel it’s a great buy.
I am very satisfied with this product. Highly recommend it!
Best sandwich maker sandwich deep filled so easy to clean absolutely love i
This text in closed brackets is copied & pasted from the Amazon web site; (The easy to remove, non-stick plates are dishwasher safe so it couldn’t be easy to clean up afterwards. ) Generally the non-stick surfaces are perfect in any dishwasher, but the back of the tray is not. Any aluminium washed in any dishwasher is problematic as it leaves behind a black residue that gets everywhere. I think the back of the plates need a coating to stop this.
The actual toasting is excellent as is the temperature control. I had a toasties machine years ago & cheese got everywhere, but this contains the cheese or whatever filling you have well contained.
I would strongly recommend this product except for the dishwasher claims & in my opinion are false.
The best toastie maker I have found so far. Good temperature control, always produces an excellent sandwich. Easily removable plates for cleaning. Just remember not to use a metal spatula or the inner surface will easily scratch.
This is the best sandwich maker I have ever had arrived very early would recommend and good price
The best !!!!!! Oh how I am enjoying my toasties and they seal unlike other brands
Fantastic sandwich toaster. Cannot recommend enough. Heats up quickly and toasts evenly.
Der Toaster ist klasse!
Alles ist komplett auseinander zu nehmen, und jede Toast/ Brot/ Bagel-Art kann genutzt werden.
Nur weil man das Gert zerlegen kann, sollte man nicht mit harten Gert schrubben.
Nutzt lediglich einen sanften Lappen- oder Kchentuch, und es hlt Jahre.
Meiner ist tglich im Einsatz und wir haben ihn schon lange und keinerlei Probleme.
Absolute Kaufempfehlung
Absolutely brilliant. Easily cleaned by removing the plates to wash. Toasts lovely sandwiches. Decent quality machine. Would recommend it 100%.
Love it but would be great if you could get the waffle plates for it too!
Makes excellent toasted sandwiches, plates easy to clean which is very important. Have slight problem with the handle, easy to get it somehow off line and then it wont click shut properly. A bit of fiddling puts this right and I havent sent it back, but reading what others have said, I agree that the handle is a weak point.
Brilliant toastie maker – well designed, well made, robust and good looking and what is more important fantastic toasties. Really easy to keep clean as the plates lift out and go in the dishwasher. One of the plates had a slight casting error – a one off – so it cracked when in the washer shortly after delivery – I phoned the help line and they sent me two spare plates within one day – great service.
Best sandwich maker I have had. Particularly like the ease of cleaning by removal of plates.
Works brilliantly – Excellent Quality So easy to clean – Best we have ever used
I purchased my machine 3 years ago and use it almost every day. Initially I was getting tired of cleaning it but on a visit to the supermarket noticed Bacofoil had started selling Non-Stick foil. So I tear off about 16 inches (40cm) of foil and assemble my toastie on the foil (dull side), then fold the foil in half and place inside the preheated machine for about 2 minutes (medium heat). Once done discard the foil for safe food hygiene reasons. No mess in the preparation and no need to clean the hot plates. Finally I use virgin olive on my bread but it works equally well with butter. Five stars using the foil but only three when not – too much cleaning involved.
Excellent little machine, makes perfect deep fill toasted sandwiches, just what the doctor ordered!
probably the best toastie machine i’ve used. nice deep plates which are easily removed for cleaning, but don’t believe the “non stick” claims.
Very happy with this product would buy from this company agai
The very best sandwich maker that I have ever purchased (and I have gone through loads)
Easy to use and clean and makes fab sandwiches on all types of bread.
Excellent sandwich maker!! After reading all of the reviews and getting answers to my question, I decided to buy this machine. I am very happy with the purchase and it works perfectly, despite some reviewers commenting to the contrary. I don’t experiment a lot, just make cheese and ham toasties, but the cheese stays nicely melted without spilling out everywhere. I use sliced bread smaller than the tray, but it still seals the snadwiches beautifully. Also the fact that I can just put the trays in the dishwasher when finished is a godsend. I would recommend this without hesitation!
This is a well-built sandwich toaster, with removable non-stick plates which make it all the easier to keep clean. It alsp has multiple heat settings, although in truth we always use medium. I think it’s the same as (or very similar to) the Waring WOSM1U 2 Slice Deep Fill Sandwich Toaster, except that it has a slightly longer guarantee than the Waring, and more stainless steel. I’ve read some comments about size of the palates being a little bit large to seal bread effectively, and I agree with this up to a point. But I find it’s okay with a larger 800g loaf. All in all, we’re very happy with it and would definitely recommend it to others.
Easy to use and the removable plates mean you can put it away clean!
This really is a great sandwich toaster. We have had this item for a number of years now during this time it as proved to be an reliable kitchen implement. Love the removable none stick plates this is the main reason we bought this toaster for.
An excellent sandwich maker – well made and presented. The ability to use a thicker filling is a useful feature and the removeable sanwich plates makes it easy to clean after use. Well worth the money.
Using it almost every day – its great and so easy to clea
Let’s get one thing straight right from the start……..This sandwich maker makes the best toasted sandwiches and the fluffiest omelettes I’ve ever tasted, I use it everyday and it is worth every penny.
So why only 4 stars?
The build quality of this sandwich maker leaves a lot to be desired. After one use the catch that holds the bottom plate in place had come loose and would not retain the plate correctly so back it went.
But here is the thing. I brought my Cuisinart sandwich maker from John Lewis which means great service, no quibbling and a 5 year guarantee.
So here’s the bottom line. If you live reasonably close to John Lewis and you are willing to return and replace your sandwich maker whenever it breaks then here’s what you need to do:
1. Purchase Cuisinart sandwich maker from John Lewis
2. Take it home and unpack it from its box
3. Place all packing back in the box with the carrier bag and receipt
4. Store box somewhere safe
You are now going to have 5 years of awesome toasties, omelettes, calzones, quesadillas and fruit pies with the occasional hassle of having to box up your sandwich maker to get it replaced for a brand new one.
The alternative is to buy a different sandwich maker that won’t make as good toasties and will probably only last 3 years max anyway!
The best sandwich toaster I have ever had but most loafs are not wide enough for this machine but I make my ow
Arrived well packed in good time a bit expensive but gets rid of that dreaded cleaning as the plates removed to go in the dishwashe
Toasts really nicely and heats filling well too. Easy pop off/click on non stick hotplates for easy cleaning.
Only downside is you need large squares of bread to fit each square hotplate. Standard square loaf isn’t big
enough and you end up with filling being squished out of the sides by the triangle shaped edges!
One of the first electrical items I have purchased that deserves a 5 Star review. Cannot fault this item. thank you.
Brilliant, just love this machine. Like the deep fill. We use these machines at our church coffee mornings. Good value.
I bought this because my husband likes toasted sandwiches and it’s better than trying to make them in bags in the toaster.
the only drawback is it is heavily constructed and has to live in a cupboard, as I don’t have room on the worktops.
I would recommend it to anyone who likes toasted sandwiches.
I am thrilled to be up to date now with my sandwich maker, makes life easy for someone like me in a wheelchai
I am very happy with the item .I feel it very hygenic because you can wash the plate of the sandwich make
I bought this for my bistro and have to say it has lived up to expectations.You can fit plenty of filling in the sandwiches, browns evenly and seals and cuts well. Removable plates are easy to use and clean very well. A first class product that I would highly recommend.
Best sandwich toaster we have ever purchased.
The sandwiches always come out nicely browned and crispy.
Very easy to clea
Our ancient sandwich toaster needed replacing and so far the Cuisinart has been a good buy. The plates have proven to be non-stick and it’s great to be able to remove them for washing. Slices from a standard loaf are completely contained when the lid is closed and 4 to 5 minutes at the high setting produces good toasted sandwiches. Apparently it will also make apple turnovers! Hopefully we won’t have a broken handle that others have reported, as so far it’s a great replacement for our old sandwich maker.
being able to clean it easily is worth the extra, most you can not put bits in washer, such a pain, better than others that we have tried
my personal opinion on this sandwich toaster is A1+ rather expensive i thought at first but what made my mind up was the removable and replacable plates also so very easy to clean after use so you tend to use it more and also get a little adventurous with your toasties etc etc
Only use these things once a week … Saturday lunchtimes for toasted cheese and ham sandwiches … perfect for those! We really must use it for other stuff! Our old one got pretty horrid after about 30 years use … this one should see us out! Very easy to clean with it’s removeable plates so … all round great addition to the kitchen!
We bought this as we were fed up with the problems with our old toastie maker – cheese leaking down the back of the toastie machine, no heat control settings, sticky plates and a nightmare to clean. This was more than we’d normally have paid for a toastie machine, but it is definitely worth it! It solves all of the above issues we had with our other machine & it is now a pleasure not a chore, to make a toasted sandwich!!!
This is an excellent product but I only give it 4 stars because the locking handle worries me. It is made of fairly weak plastic and seems vulnerable. It could be made of light metal of some sort for hardly any increased cost.
years ago we had a breville toaster and although we enjoyed the product, we hated cleaning it and eventually threw it out. after reading a review that said the plates were now removeable, we have got one – it’s brilliant.
If you are a lover of toasted sandwiches then this is the machine for you An absolute must in every kitche
I don’t generally write reviews but as there have been many negative reviews, felt compelled to do so as I don’t agree with many of them. As far as I’m concerned it makes great toasties every time. It doesn’t stick, the handle hasn’t fallen off and it’s really easy to clean. I have a Cuisinart Ice cream maker, which has been very reliable so bought this sandwich maker as I thought it looked solid and reliable- and it is. It also takes a good size slice of bread, which some of the others don’t.
This is a really good product and well worth the money, it is efficient and the choice of fillers is endless.It is easy to clean and does not make a mess when using it unlike it cheaper competitors. A five star product.
I am very pleased With my sandwich maker it has 3 control tempiture and the great benifit it is dish washer proof also the plates can be removed for cleaning
This item was a christmas present for my dad, he absolutely loves it. Toasties for breakfast and lunch. Best gift he ever received he says.
A good functional machine, the control switch could be a more positive and robust, apart from that it does the business
I bought this sandwich maker a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I have had a few sandwich makers before, but they were always difficult to keep clean and they didn’t allow for deep-filled sandwiches. This Cuisinart model definitely fits the bill. The plates are easy to remove, clean and replace. I make my own bread, and the sandwich maker copes perfectly with the variable sized slices I cut. We stopped having toasted sandwiches because we just couldn’t keep our old sandwich maker clean. Toasties are now definitely back on the menu with this new sandwich maker.
Really happy with this toasty maker. My partner uses it lots. It’s really easy to clean. The only downside is finding bread big and square enough to fit into it!!!!
Needed a piece of kit that had plates that could be easily dismantled and ok for dishwasher, produces great sandwiches, and it’s great not to have to spend ages claeaning i
What a great sandwich toaster. I have had quite a few over the years and this one is the best by far. You can put so much more filling in the sandwich’s and it wont leak out. The bread is nice and crispy. Green light comes on when its ready. I made a cheese and pineapple toastie yesterday, yum yum……..It’s also so easy to clean with the removable plates……..I also purchased a book called Toastie Heaven from Amazon which is fantastic, I had no idea you could make so many different toasties…………If you are thinking of buying a new sandwich toaster, I would definately recommend this one, 5* Cuisinart GRSM1U sandwich maker chrome Toastie Heaven: 100 great reasons to dig out the sandwich toaste
We were looking for a sandwich maker which was big and deep enough to hold a decent size sandwich. We also wanted one which was easy to clean. We were not disappointed when selecting this product. It really is brilliant. It’s big enough to hold a decent size sandwich without it oozing over the edge and the depth lets you put in plenty of fillings. The plates remove for easy cleaning so there is no mess at all. It is worth every penny of the price and I can’t recommend it enough.
Cuisinart GRSM1U sandwich maker chrome
This is the best sandwich toaster I have ever had, it does what it say’s on the box. Good value for money.
Thunderball35
First time use today
Sprayed plates with olive oil and wiped over with a kitchen towel and left to heat up
Made Cheese and Tomato toasties and coated both sides of bread with Clover (fake butter)
No sticking, sealed all round fantastic toasties. Any burnt bits just wiped off the plates with the oil soaked kitchen towel.
It feels sturdy and hard wearing and even if the handle clip does snap it looks like it will still make the toasties.
Much better value than the cheapo supermarket own brand plastic versions that have food and drip traps all over them.
I will review again in a few months
I haven’t owned a toastie maker in years but after researching reviews I decided on the overstuffed sandwich maker. I was not disappointed. The toaster easily takes home-made bread (cut thicker than usual shop-bought loaves) and there is plenty of space for lots of fillings! I like the fact there are different heat settings (i’m still playing around to find the best result) and it is very easily cleaned – simply put the plates straight in the dishwasher. I’m not quite sure if the timing lights work properly as the green light stays on for a few minutes after the toastie is in – but this hasn’t caused major problems yet. I would definitely buy again.
I can’t complain about the product itself as I’ve not been able to find sliced bread big enough to fit the compartments ensuring proper sealing therefore no leaks.
Can accept over-stuffed sandwiches as stated. Would still rate this better than others seen on the shelf.
Looking forward to fully enjoying my purchase once I can find a baker to bake a larger loaf.
We have had a number of sandwich makers in the past………this is by far the best one yet. Easy to use, smart appearance and the build quality is excellent. None of the dribbling out that we have experienced with other sandwich makers and the easily removable plates are quickly cleaned, nothing sticks!
So…….why 4 stars and not 5?……….
Unfortunately one of the plates lost a smal fingenail size piece of the teflon(?) coating after only about half a dozen uses. This does not seem to have impaired the performance, but may do if the loss spreads.
We contacted Cuisinart about 3 weeks ago and they immediately promised to replace the plates, but as yet this has not happened, they are awiting delivery of spares. Presumably Christmas/New Year and the snow has/will cause delays.
In summary we are very pleased with the Cuisinart overstuffed sandwich maker, toasties are a joy to make now.
Ok it is the most expensive sandwich toaster but it is excellent. Straight out of the box you realise this is a well made practical appliance. Solidly made in stainless steel with easily removable plates to put into the dishwasher.
As for the sandwiches, they always come out fully toasted and sealed, no sticking soggy sandwiches with this beauty. I’ve made the usual cheese toasties with ham etc and also beans and cheese etc etc etc, all great.
The removable plates initially put me off as our George foreman grill has removable plates and it doesn’t work as well as our small old one which was used to death. But no worries here it heats up quickly and has performed very well up to now.
