I don't have one but my mum does. It really does make a lovely toasted sandwich, panini etc.
If you have a George Foreman, they're an alright substitute for a sandwich press I reckon. |

Used to use ours a lot but only brought it out for the first time in prob 6 months on the weekend.
Call me old fashioned but I like the old style toastie pie makers.... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| We use ours all the time. Fits any size bread, panini, foaccacia, bun, unlike a toasted sandwich machine. Can also do other things like vegetables - i have grilled mushrooms and courgettes in mine. Probably can do bacon and other meats but might not be hot enough and we use the George Foreman Grill for meat - of which I am also a fan! |

| ooh heaps easier to clean than the old style toasted samdwich makers - you don't have the same leak problems down into the corners. |

And you can cook more than sandwiches! my DP cooks schnitzel in his, toasts sandwiches, does steak, I love doing french toast on it.... as long as it doesn't have bones, DP will cook everything in it when I'm away lol ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

LOVE our sandwich press! So much more versatile than the old toastie-pie ones. We usually have paninis stuffed with LOTS as a meal at least once a week. And as someone else said - so much easier to clean  -------------  Cameron 10 ~ Sophie 9 ~ Nov08 Angel

I've been making up a spicy mince mix and using flat wraps, make a parcel with grated cheese and the mince mix inside and put in the sandwich press for a couple of mins....its yummy! -------------

If you don't already have a toasted sandwich/Jaffle maker, then it would be worthwhile getting one. However, if you have the other - I wouldn't bother...
It's nice being able to make your own panini's and all, but how often can you really be arsed pulling any extra kitchen equipment

I my sandwich press!! We were without one for about a year and it was terrible! I use if for my lunches quite often and we use it for weekend lunches heaps.
The girls both like the toasties too. Seems safer for children than the old school ones as it doesn't have that boiling molten cheese thing! -------------

I would say whether you get one would depend on how many sandwiches/paninis etc you eat.
We have one at work and I must say it makes lovely toasted sandwiches - so much better than a cold sandwich this time of the year. I would not get one for home though as we never have sandwiches at home. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
