Our take on the Chefman Electric Panini Press Grill & Gourmet Sandwich Maker (2 Slice)
The Chefman Electric Panini Press is a two-slice contact grill with hinged, floating top and bottom plates that press a sandwich flat and brown both sides at once. It is a basic, low-cost countertop grill aimed at people who want hot pressed sandwiches without a stove. Against rivals like the Cuisinart Griddler or Breville panini presses, it is simpler: no removable plates, no adjustable temperature dial on most versions, and no grill/panini switch. Owners like how quickly it heats and how little space it takes, but note the fixed heat and plates that are awkward to clean.
- Heats up fast and is ready in a few minutes
- Floating hinge presses uneven sandwiches evenly
- Compact footprint stores upright or in a cabinet
- Simple one-button operation, no settings to learn
- Nonstick plates release sandwiches cleanly

What reviewers say

- Heat-up speedPraisedUsers report it is ready to press within a few minutes of switching on.
Questions and answers
- Does it have a temperature control?
- No. This model runs at a fixed heat, so you control results by how long you leave the sandwich in.
- Can the plates be removed for cleaning?
- No. The nonstick plates are fixed, so you wipe them down once the unit cools.
- How many sandwiches can it make at once?
- Two standard slices or one large sandwich. It is a two-slice press, so larger batches need several rounds.
- Can I use it for anything besides sandwiches?
- It works as a contact grill for small items like quesadillas, but the fixed heat and shallow plates limit it compared with a full grill.
- Does it have a drip tray?
- No. Grease collects on the plates, so drain fatty fillings before pressing.
- Is it good for a small kitchen?
- Yes. It is compact and can be stored upright, which suits apartments and dorms.
