Easy to clean. Not as versatile as expected. I really appreciate that the trays are removable. Makes cleaning very easy. The fact that they are interchangeable gives it a lot of versatility.My main gripe is with its “grilling” ability. The tray is really too small for most raw burger patties and they hang out of the sides. You can really only do one at a time, but the fact that there is no way for grease to drain means you can only really cook one or MAYBE two before you have to find a way to empty the grease, which is a pain in the butt because the machine is super hot and you have to somehow lift and drain the entire thing…. which is super messy.

Need a drip pan for grill. Love and hate it. Perfect for sandwiches and waffles, but how can I use the grill, it have nothing to catch the grease from dripping onto my counter top.

Fantastic, works great – just a couple notes. The Good:Heats up fast. Works really well. Does everything it says. Top and bottom equal temps. Even heat distribution. Great size for 1-2 people (I can fit 2 actual full size burgers on this thing).This is way better than a Foreman, at a better price. It’s actually a Panini-type grill, because of the swivel-hinged top – so it’s an even flat press on whatever you’re making, unlike the angled Foreman lid. The Foreman is also not a 2-burger grill, for the 2 cheapest ones. It’s just shaped improperly tbh. So esp given the significant price difference, this is a clear winner – with a few small buts to come.A couple reviews mentined there’s no temp adjustment. This is true. I was concerned it just heated up and kept going, but no it has a max it reaches and tries to stay there. Honestl, I don’t see much of a reason to need temp, personally. But I’m using this for Burgers occasionally, sausages, mostly sandwiches/wraps, I did make hash browns because another reviewer did – went fine, but no need in my case, I have enough pans. But yeah if you had limited alternative stovetop options, this can do a lot.If you’ve ever worked a commercial similar grill, this is a mini immitation. The top is like aluminum and can dent, but it’s not like poorly made. But the result is identical IMO. If you’ve used some you may know a lot of them don’t have removable plates, and you already know how to clean these – wet paper towel while it’s still hot (just you know be careful). The nonstick is A+.The not so good:The grease runoff. Or lack thereof. So this thing isn’t angled to have the grase run to the back – which is good, because it’s also not angled to have it run to the center to the spout. Notice I didn’t mention trying bacon – after seeing the burger situation, bacon ain’t happening unless you’re forcing that grease to the spout with a mini spatula or something.But – I assumed this when i saw the pictures. This is common with commercial ones also. Here, the Foreman has a better system. The reason this gets a pass is my tempered expectations – I suspected this to be the case, bought it anyway. The instructions even say this is a Sandwich grill, so they’re really not even aiming at meats. Again, 2 burgers was fine. Keep an eye opn the bacon if you don’t want a super messy cleanup.The only other thing is lack of removable plates. Again, I knew this. So this is more of a feature request. Along with a request for flipping plates with a smooth side. This would increase the cost but I’d do it.The bottom line:Works as described, grease runoff could be better. Price is a fair shake, I’d even say $20 instead of the $16 I paid would be fair. The size is perfect for smaller kitchens, no kitchens, or just as an add-on to your great kitrchen without heaving an appliance in and out of siome closet or taking up a lot of space on your counter. The company makes a good product so if they make something else that you may want but are unsure about the cost, go for it.If you just want a convenient little electric grill that gets the job done for basic stuff and more, accepting the “non-premium” caveats, this was one of the better buys I’ve made.

Great Choice for Single Cooking. I originally bought this item in July 2018, and after more than six years of regular [daily/weekly] use, I’m finally replacing it – with a new version of the same device. It’s been excellent in its role as a space saving countertop multipurpose grill and sandwich maker. I didn’t use the waffle plates as much, but when I did, they worked fine.The key is what you expect from it. This item works best as a way to prepare single person meals. I’ve used it to make toast, fry eggs, make “pancakes” as well as waffles, as a panini press, to heat up veggie patties … it’s quite versatile. It heats quickly and cooks fairly well. The plates are not difficult to switch out and are easily cleaned. I use an oil spritzer for even oiling and have had few problems with food sticking over the years.My only real problem was with the plates getting scratched, and when I wrote to Ovente they were able to provide me with replacements. When I noticed some uneven heating today – something that has never been a problem before – I found what appears to be a cracked lower element. After 6+ years of nearly daily use, I can accept this as a reasonable end of life cycle, and will replace with a new one. In terms of value for money, I think I’ve done okay with this product.
