So I have seen some negative reviews about this Sandwich maker. Based on these comments I can shine some light on maybe foregoing some of the negative experiences from this product.Like with anything, please do your due diligence and read the instructions before using. This will help with issues of initial bad smells from the heating elements and the plates. As recommended wash and dry before first use.People complain about to their sandwiches not browning after cooking. The trick here is to:1. Leave the maker on to warm up for at least one cycle before adding your sandwich.2. Butter the top side of the bread and base the bottom plate with butter before inserting the sandwich. This results in perfect golden toasties.3. When cooking don't take the sandwich out after the first red light green light indication. Wait until the steam from your maker becomes less & less. This is an indication that your sandwich has been cooked.4. I saw a lot of unfortunate people had broken their handles.... This can be prevented by guess what!? Not over filling you sandwich. Just because it says deepfill doesn't mean you can load a mountain of ingredients & expect that the handles & hinges will take the pressure! What I do is take a damp kitchen towel (not soaking wet!) And rest it over the top of the toaster. I then apply a gentle pressure with two hands and slowly compress my sandwich until I can close my unit with the latch.Then I just sit back and wait patiently for my delicious sandwich to be cooked. Simple'Finally a word on cleaning! I know the last thing anyone wants to do is clean up after a cook, but trust me, that sandwich is super hot after coming out. Also due to the fact the toaster has created a sealed insulation around the sandwich the filling stays hot for ages. This is the time to leave it to cool for 2 or 3 min. Unplug the sandwich maker, get some damp kitchen paper & wipe out all of the melted cheese from the plate (Be careful as they will be hot!) But trust me it's the easiest way to get all of that sandwich residue off the plates)Hope these tips help for those that bought this for the kids quick lunches during the global pandemic.Happy cooking!

This is a very good toastie maker. However, a normal-sized slice of bread doesn't fit in it properly. It cuts off the edges (they stick out of the side of the toastie maker). Likewise, although it's designed to make 2 toasties at a time, it only really fits one-and-a-half worth of toasties inside of it. The rest, again, sticks out of the side! That said - it does cook evenly and is very easy to use.

This does work in Australia You just buy a multipurpose adapter to plug it i to an Australian socket its easy I’ve had this for well over 3 years now and it works perfectly with the adapter and only costs a couple of dollars on ebay this is the best sandwich maker ive ever had the removable plates are amazingly easy to clean and the coating doesn’t come off but of course you are not going to stick a knife in it that would make you stupid!! Just spray with olive oil spray first or similar then add your bread and yes it does fit normal sized Australian Breas I absolutely love this toaster

No surprises, low cost, low expectations
