De'Longhi America CGH1020D Livenza All Day Combination Contact Grill and Open Barbecue, Stainless Steel

Bought this a year ago. Already broken, constantly showing “Error.” Warranty expired, and Delonghi wants an outrageous repair fee. Total waste of money. Never buy this!

I don't use the flat griddle plates, and only care about the panini press function of this machine, and it's MAGNIFICENT! This machine is a major upgrade over the little plastic panini presses out there. With this unit I'm able to make two large paninis (5 inch x 9 inch bread) at the same time. The top grill plate is heavy and presses the sandwich properly to create a nice crust on the bread. The grill shape is perfect, with straight lines that press into the bread. I set the machine at 375 degrees and set the timer for 3 minutes. Comes out perfect every time, with a nice crust outside and melted cheese inside. The bread should be brushed or sprayed with olive oil. Amazon sells olive oil spray bottles. Pesto spread, mozzarella cheese, and prosciutto ham, is marvelous. It's a larger unit, so I keep it on a side counter in the kitchen, and it looks nice too. But the performance and taste is most important, and this makes excellent panini sandwiches. Worth the extra cost if you enjoy perfect paninis, and the ability to make two sandwiches at once.

We Are Regulars At A Local Place That Sells Paninis, Recently As The Prices Have Gone Up All Over I Thought 'For The Price Of 15 Or So Of These I Can Just Buy A Machine To Make My Own' I Saw This Unit On Sale And Had Good Reviews So I Picked It Up. First Thing I Did Was Make Paninis (I Couldn't Take A Picture Of Them Because I Ate Them So Fast!) They Turned Out F$@&%! Fantastic! We Have Meals Planned Out For The Next Week Or So, This Will Be Getting Alot Of Use! Now There Is A Couple Things I Noticed That I Would Improve, 1. The Cord Is Very Short 2. The Knobs, While The Rest Of The Unit Seems Good Quality, The Knobs Feels Like Light Cheap Plastic, I'm Sure They'll Be Fine Though If Your Not Super Hard On Them. Overall Great Machine That Makes F@$%&! Great Paninis!

Para hacer paninis, asar carnes, vegetales, todo, Tiene muy buena calidad y estéticamente realza el lugar donde esté.

Great product and it is worth spending more money for this product vs cheaper alternatives. I hummed and hard about the price for a while, but I’m glad I made this decision.

Family in Europe had this super easy, fast, 220v De'Longhi grill. When we got back to North America we found the equivalent De'Longhi unit for 110v. Doesn't take up much space in a small kitchen. We use it outside on a patio table. Doesn't throw off much heat. Way less than a pan on the store for bacon and eggs. It is definitely on the expensive side. Solidly built. The quality seems worth the premium. So far so good. I would buy it again.
