"Use caution"
Krups Universal Panini grill with slide locking unit is not a secure lock. I picked it up by the handle and it was not completely locked. It sprung open and snaped off the two very small raised edges on the back corners that keep the lid at a 90 degree open position to allow you to put a sandwich on the grill. It is a white metal and is not fixable. This is an expensive unit to be so easily broken. So use caution when handling this unit. As a Panini Grill, it works well. The plates are not removable though. I would not buy another without removable plates.

"Krups Panini Maker"
The price is right and the machine does the job right. You could spend more, but your results would not be better.

"Loved it until..."
We also LOVED our Krups panini maker, until, less than a year after purchase, the hinge at the back broke, meaning the lid flipped open the whole way when you opened it. We got another under warranty, but now, less than two years later, that one suddenly stopped working, too. Very disappointing for a product in this price range. We used ours about twice a week.

"Cooks well but clumsy to clean"
The Krups FDE312-75 sandwich grill heats up quickly and cooks very evenly.

Cleaning is another matter. The cord is not detachable and the grill is not water proof, so washing it by hand in the sink isn't recommended. You're left with wiping the non-stick surfaces with soapy water, rinsing and drying as best you can on the counter top.

The FDE312-75 is fairly easy to store when not in use. It can stand vertically on its rear edge as the two grill halves lock together. The cord stores in a recess on the underside.

"Don't like it"
Sending it back. No drip spout so your bacon, etc. sits in the grease. This was the main reason I wanted a Panini grill in the first place. If you don't need the grease to drain (sandwiches, etc) it's probably nice.

What our customer's say!

"No shut off switch?!", I have had the Krups Panini Grill for several years but have not used it more than about a dozen times. It worked well whenever i used it. i just can't understand that it does not have a switch to turn it on or off. I always have to plug it into the electrical outlet and unplug it to turn it off. That's more then inconvenient, it is plain dumb. May be the newer models have been changed and come with a switch.Krups FDE312-75 Universal Grill and Panini Maker

"Krups Panini Machine", This is our first panini machine and we're very happy with the Krups machine. It heats up quickly, does its job, and is easy to clean up.

"Great gift!", I received this Krups Panini grill for Christmas and absolutely love it! It grills beautifully and is so easy to clean and store.

"krups panini maker", This is the second one I have purchased, this one as a gift. Sometimes a little sticky to clean, but makes a nice panini, stores easily, and we have enjoyed lots of use. Good value for the money

"A panini grill that lives up to its description!", As soon as I received my Krups grill and panini maker, I immediately began using it. I have to say, it is absolutely fantastic! What talked ME into purchasing this particular model was a review in one of my women's magazines comparing it to a similar George Foreman grill, and the review raved about the Krups grill. It is so easy to use. So far I have only ventured to make a couple of different types of panini sandwiches, but they've been very flavorful. The sky is pretty much the limit as far as what you want to put in your sandwich. Ciabatta is the recommended bread to use for a panini (according to most of the recipes I've found), but I think you can probably use virtually any type of bread or roll. The unit adjusts to handle any thickness of bread as you close the lid. It also has lights to tell you when the grill is ready to use, and when your sandwich is done! No guessing or having to constantly lift the lid to see if it is done, and no burned sandwiches! The only negative aspect I have found to making a panini is that the sandwich filling remains cold, even after grilling - but I'm sure that would be true of any panini grill, since the maker just grills the outside of the bread. I don't know why I thought the entire sandwich, inside and out, would be hot. I suppose if your filling is already hot when you assemble and grill your sandwich, then it would stay hot or at least warm when you bite into it, since it takes mere minutes to make a sandwich. Although clean-up is easy (just wipe down the grill plates), my only suggestion for improvement would be that the grill plates were removable and dishwasher-safe. But I would definately recommend this product if you are looking for a good panini grill at a very good price!

"Best panini grill on the market", We've looked at quite a few panini makers; from the inexpensive brands to the mega models, and have found the Krups panini grill to be the best one for us. (It gets a LOT of use)

It's a heavy duty unit and is incredibly easy to clean. I read two comments from people here who didn't like their panini maker- stating that it broke shortly after they purchased it.

We've had ours at least 14 months, use it 2 or 3 times a week, and it works perfectly. Since we bought the Krups panini maker on Amazon, we've seen Alton Brown (Good Eats) and Giada (Everyday Itialian) use the same grill on their shows and they are impressed as we are. There's also some good books out there with assorted panini recipes, but once you own one .. you'll find yourself coming up with all sorts of your own creations.

These are GREAT!

Good deal, excellent product, stellar brand.

"Didn't last long", This turned us into panini addicts and then left us high and dry when it quit working after about 5 months of using it 2+ times per week. I will be replacing it ASAP with some other type of panini maker.

"I like it", I liked this product, but it is a little hard to clean since the plates do not detach. Well, maybe it does, and I just do not know about it because I never really read instructions and stuff like that. But it does make lovely panini sandwiches.

"Loved it until it unexpectedly died.", It worked for a few months, and then I used it one day...nothing. Too expensive to be disposable. What a pain! (Plus, when it worked, the handle got really hot.)

"The best panini maker - and wedding/shower/birthday gift", We love this grill -- both for home use and as a gift for those occassions where a gift isn't terribly personal.
