OptiGrill 4in1 Indoor Panini Press and Sandwich Maker

Even when I’m slightly questioning it….it cooks the meat perfectly. It’s so easy to clean. I don’t regret my purchase…which is a lot coming from me.

does not correspond to reality

Why using a stove, an oven, a grill and tons of mess with saucepans and pans, when one can have this Optigrill ? Outstanding! For the first use, I chose a recipe from the App (MyTefal) : very easy to use and easy to clean, good quality, versatile… perfect !

EDIT: Finally got in touch with customer service. They said they wanted photo proof it melted and photo proof of purchase to prove it was under warrant. The rep. I spoke with had not heard of trays melting before. They shipped me a replacement tray. Drip tray melted through on contact with hot grease dripping out. Got hot grease running down the wooden cabinets. Spent an hour trying to contact support to finally be told they closed and to try again later afte the hour wait. Tried to send online help to company via the Amazon help to blgwt a pop up that says this item only receives help via phone call. It is 5 weeks old. It cooked the food properly, but it is useless if it just dumps grease on your counter then runs down to the floor after filling under the unit with grease. Very gross to clean that.

I've been using a Cuisinart Grill/Panini Maker for a few years, but it's been wearing out, so when I saw this T-fal electric grill/sandwich maker/oven, I knew I had to give it a try. There's always a risk in purchasing appliances that do too many things. I usually prefer when they specialize in one thing, but the things this appliance does are all related, so I assumed it would work well. First, I love that the bottom plate slants, allowing the juices, grease, etc. to drop into the tray. My other panini maker only had a little spot on the back for grease, and often, it would drip out elsewhere. There is also a little grease tray in the back, so you're double-covered. Also, the removable plates are so appreciated! Cleaning is so much easier! I have not used all modes yet, but I'm excited to try the oven. I have a large family, so I usually cook larger portions of things, but I think this will come in handy for lunches or desserts. The entire thing opens up flat for BBQ setting and has a dial on the side that controls that. Unlike some similar appliances, this grill gets nice and hot and cooks quickly. Overall, excited about this small appliance and very pleased so far!

El primer día que lo usar , se quemó el botón y la pantalla dejó de funcionar . Muy malo , apesar de ser costoso

With a trusted name like T-fal, I didn't hesitate to try this grill/cooker out. I did notice that the temp indicator was square, where the other models were circular, so it made me research a bit to find that it appears this model sells in other countries with the square. That aside, this machine is amazing! I only have an older Foreman grill to compare to, and can only say there's no comparison. The tray-release saves so much work with cleaning, as well as the drip trays being both in front and back. The book that came with it gives a lot of instructions, they are well-written and easy to follow. I first cooked frozen turkey burgers using that feature that recognizes frozen food (the snowflake button) and adding the 'burger' button - worked perfectly. Next time, we cooked 2 steaks to check the done-ness with the color indicators, one rare and one well-done. Again, this feature was helpful, but we also used a thermometer to confirm. Tomorrow is panini press cuban sandwiches - I am confident in this machine that they also will be delicious! Don't let the lack of reviews on this model sway you (or the fact that they are Vine - we do pay 30% of retail for our items!). This model with it's features is solid, professional-quality. A known brand and legitimate product. I'm sure we will be seeing this 9-mode model more often in retail!

I bought a T-FAL. Unfortunately, it didn't work, but we worked with the website and got a full refund. So, I have no complaints. However, since there was a return, I am giving 4 stars instead of 5.
