Salter EK2143 3-In-1 Snack Maker - Sandwich Toaster, Waffle Maker, Panini Press Grill, Includes Removable Extra Large Deep Fill Hot Plates, Non-Stick, 900W, Auto Temperature Control, Stay Cool Handle

This is a fantastic all-in-one appliance. It’s compact, well-built, and easy to use. The removable plates make cleaning effortless—much easier than standard toastie makers—and the non-stick coating works perfectly.Performance:• Sandwich Toaster: Deep-fill plates work brilliantly, cutting through bread for neatly sealed toasties.• Waffle Maker: Produces great waffles, though they’re slightly paler and softer than expected.• Panini Press: Not tested yet but likely reliable based on other functions.Switching plates is simple, and the basic indicator lights do the job. One drawback is a slight plastic smell during the times I have used it but this does not affect the taste of the food.For the price, the quality and functionality are great. If you’re in the market for a new toastie maker, I highly recommend this.

Excellent value for money. Easy to use and clean up afterwards. The plates pop out easy to change, a little bit fiddly putting them in but no problem. Recommend spray oil the plates to cook paninis, or waffles and butter out side of bread for perfect toasties. Warm up for 5 minutes until green light comes on. Only tales 5 minutes, waffles however need at least 10. Can easily open and shut the lid to check cooking. 10 out of 10. Not good for diets.

I've made quite a few toasties and waffles in this thing now, so I feel qualified to leave a review.If you eat toasties or like the idea of a waffle maker, you really can't go wrong with this. Sure, you're not gonna get the perfectly even heated elements or super high wattage as with a more expensive toaster, but if you're not in a massive rush, this thing does a cracking job. Toasties tend to take (for a nice, well toasted crust) about 8 minutes, with waffles (again, nice and colorfully crisp) about 10 minutes, depending on your recipe.The heating elements don't heat up evenly across the grills, you can tell where the cold spots are, but honestly I can't argue the results with the value it offers. The removeable grills are really easy to switch out, and are incredibly non-stick, you don't even have to butter the bread for toasties!Waffles are cracking once you've dialed in your recipe, the deep fill allows for really well sized ones too. My partner and I make one each, then cook the 2nd batch while we dress and munch on the first, sounds like a pain, but just when you wish you had more, they're ready for round 2!Toasties are good too, the only thing I'll say regarding their grills is they're more square than rectangular, really not a big deal as rectangles still fit, you're just left with more space either side. To be honest I consider this a boon, as if you overfill your toasties, the cheese has somewhere to spill into, instead of out the sides, leaving you with a beautifully caramelized bit of cheese to nibble on.Not used the flat grills at all really, I have other utensils that I'd rely on, but it's nice that they're included.Overall a cracking value toaster, took a star off for the uneven heating, but really you can't argue with the value this offers, really happy with my purchase.

We bought one of these after seeing our nephew's in action. This is a really great appliance, which we have had a lot of use out of already. It's a sturdy unit, that is good quality and well-made, which I would expect from the brand. The removable plates work great and make clean-up nice and easy. There is a light that lets you know when the plates are hot enough to do their job. We haven't tried the waffle plates yet, but I would expect they work just as well as the other plates, but you do have to be a little careful not to overfill your toasties! We have found that the plates are not quite big enough to fit full panninis, so you have to do a bit of cut and slice jigsaw work, but we just use that as an opportunity to have two different fillings in a pannini - you're likely going to cut them in half anyway to eat them. And they do make really tasty toasties and panninis, so it's worth it. I would recommend.

I bought this 11 months ago and it's been an excellent addition to my kitchen.It's got good quality, great depth and filling capacity and can be easily cleaned.

I purchased the salter three in one snack maker for my wife for Christmas 2024 and we used it four times to make generous paninis and waffles which worked out well and cooked well but on the fourth time of use the powder coating flaked off the metal plates really rapidly and you could see how thin it had been applied it was also very difficult to insert and remove the plates as the mechanism was stiffI returned this one for a refund as it wasnt safe to useI recieved another machine by exchange and the new one was not as good the plates wouldn’t stay in easily and it also had the same issue with peeling of the powder coating off the plates when heatedI was not happy with the build quality but the idea is great and its good to have one device to do the job of threeIve since ordered another make which i hope will be much betterThanks amazon for great customer service

This is a really handy size sandwich toaster with the other plates for ciabatta and waffle making. Plates are easy to swap and overall easy to keep clean. No issues so far with this sandwich toaster. Easy to store too as it stands on its side rather than flat.
