DeLonghi Indoor Grill and Panini Press CGH800

Pros
  • Price
  • Large cooking area
  • Adjustable thermostat
  • Ready light indicator
Cons
  • Grill plates aren't removable
  • No on/off switch

This budget-priced grill has a retro look and, with 182 square inches of grilling space, enough cooking area to feed a family. Reviewers say the unit cooks evenly, and the adjustable hinge allows even cooking of thicker foods. Although primarily designed as a panini maker, reviewers say it does an equally good job of cooking meat, fish and vegetables. The grill plates aren't removable, but most users say they are easy to clean. Some owners say they wish this unit had an on/off switch; instead, it must be unplugged to be turned off. The DeLonghi Indoor Grill and Panini Press CGH800 also offers temperature control through an easy-to-use thermostat, and it has a light that indicates when the grill is ready to be used. This grill doesn't offer as much versatility as the more expensive Cuisinart Griddler GR-4 , however.
