Is the Costway 3-in-1 worth it at $89.99?

At $89.99 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it is a low-cost way to get a large two-plate grill with a timer and removable plates. Competing press grills with a floating hinge cost more, so you trade some evenness for price.

Can I cook with the lid open?

Yes. The lid opens to 180 degrees so both plates lie flat, giving you a double-sized griddle for eggs, pancakes or vegetables. Close it for paninis and contact grilling.

Are the plates really dishwasher safe?

Costway lists the plates as removable, waterproof and dishwasher safe. Hand washing still extends the life of the non-stick coating.

The thermostat runs from 194°F to 446°F. The top end is hot enough to sear, and the low end suits keeping food warm or melting cheese.

You get the grill unit with upper and lower plates, a cool-touch handle and the 0–4 hour timer built in. Check the listing for any included drip tray or scraper.

It has sold near $90 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, with 7 stores listing it new. Compare those stores before buying, since small countertop grills often drop during holiday sales.
