Our take on the Univex PPRESS1.5F 14 Inch Electric Panini Press

The Univex PPRESS1.5F is a 14-inch commercial panini press with smooth cast iron top and bottom plates and manual temperature control. It is built for delis, cafes and food trucks that press sandwiches all day, not for a home kitchen. It carries ETL-Sanitation listing, which matters for health inspections. The best new price is $788.40 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no meaningful recent price range to compare against.

Questions and answers

Is the Univex PPRESS1.5F worth it for a small cafe?
If you sell pressed sandwiches daily, yes. Cast iron plates and a 14-inch width let you run two sandwiches at once, and manual heat keeps repairs simple. For occasional use, a cheaper countertop press does the same job.
Does it have a timer or digital controls?
No. Temperature is set with a manual dial, and you time sandwiches yourself. That is normal for this class of press but means staff need a routine.
What is the difference between smooth and ribbed plates?
This model has smooth top and bottom plates, so sandwiches come out flat and evenly browned without grill marks. Ribbed plates give stripes and more char but are harder to clean.
How long does it take to heat up?
Cast iron plates take several minutes to reach temperature from cold, longer than thin aluminum plates. Most operators leave it on through service rather than cycling it.
What is in the box?
The press itself with its cast iron plates and manual temperature control. Check the listing for a crumb tray, scraper or stand, since accessories vary by seller.
When is the price lowest?
Commercial equipment like this rarely discounts on a schedule. At $788.40 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, with one new listing, watch for used or open-box units from restaurant equipment resellers.
