Cuisinart WM-SW2N Dual-Sandwich Nonstick Electric Grill

On first time use it was giving off plasticky smoke, same thing happened the second time.......the plates are not deep enough to have a good stuffing.......size of the plate is too small for sandwich sized bread slice n too big for regular sized bread slice as available here at my placewas late by a day to return it as the window closed within 17 day of delivery which was not highlighted, so am left with a sandwich maker with size which is neither big nor deep n is smoking toxic fumes that i am afraid to use anymore

I love this product. It’s very simple to use and clean. I received it within couple of days and use it quite often as it toasts bread really well and keeps the fillings warm inside. The only reason I didn’t give it a five star is because it is a little small, so my cheese sometimes oozes out but it’s easy to clean, so it’s not too much of a big deal.

I needed a sandwich maker to make some occasionally for snack or for my kids to take as lunch. We decided not to spend $50 on a gadget we would only use once a week or so. This is a great price for a unit that makes two sandwiches at the same time.Here are the features in this machine that I liked:1. You can make two sandwiches at a time. Four slices of bread. Pepperidge Farm slices will not fit,so use regular sized bread. I've used white and wheat and both came out fine.2. There is indeed even heating from both top and bottom. I did not find any side to be overcooked.3. This is BPA free. Important given all we now know about BPA.4. The plates are nonstick. I've made sandwiches with too much filling or cheese. Whatever is stuck to the plate is easily wiped off with a damp paper towel after allowing it to cool.Here's what I didn't like:1. The unit comes with indicator lights. Red for cooking and green for done. I have never yet been able to use it to where I let it go to green. I like my sandwiches to be slightly crispy on the crust but not burnt. So if you're like me, you'll want to keep an eye out and your nose open to tell you when you're done.2. I would have so much appreciated a timer bell or something to indicate that the sandwiches are done. I have to keep an eye out for them anyway, so this is not such a big deal. And for the price, I'm happy with what I'm getting for something I'm only going to use once a week at max.The first time I used this, there was a slight chemically smell. I recommend throwing away the first set of your sandwiches, or rather a slice of bread in each pocket.Overall, it does a great job of making sandwiches that we can enjoy. (Think grilled sandwiches, mashed potatoes and diced peppers, leftovers inside hot toasty bread).

Works exactly as I expected.

...and yet, AND YET, look at the pathetic little selection of toasted sandwich makers that are available here. Upon emigrating here from the UK, I was led to believe that everything is bigger and better in the good ol' US of A. And yet, here I am, putting up with this contemptible little machine. You think I exaggerate? Indulge me for a second friend, and visit amazon.co.uk where you can find a real selection of toasted sandwich machines. Four slice units, deep fill units, stainless steel...Slim pickin's here in the US of A unfortunately. So I bought this one, thinking it would be better than nothing. Which it is to be fair, so here is my review.Positives: It works, it's pretty quick and cooks evenly. It's not terrible to clean I guess, although removable plates would make cleaning up easier.Negatives: It's very cheaply made, I am on my second model after the first one melted and became unusable after perhaps a year of moderate use. Second one had a piece of plastic snap off on first roll out. It doesn't allow for really big sandwiches, you have to be careful not to overfill.I would recommend it because it works and it's cheap enough that it doesn't matter if it doesn't last too long. I wish that the 'Special Relationship' between the UK and US would extend to 'Toastie' machines technology. It makes me sad to use this silly little thing while my English relatives tuck into nice big toasties made four at a time.

Kids are addicted to making “grilled cheese” on this! The plates are hard to clean, however, especially when the cheese seeks out of the bread and onto the edges of the plates. I can’t quite get them clean.
