Ordered for my Deli arrived on 7/5 as scheduled quickly unwrapped and had it ready to go for lunch time rush. It handled making Cubano pressed sandwich, grilled cheese, Panini melts, tuna melts, as well as grilled onions hash browns and whatever we threw at it. A lot wider than the Waring Panini we had and feels lighter. We bought the smooth flat iron Hakka flat top and it was the smart choice it should be easier to clean and give us more options to cook with.
Pro* at about half the cost of the Waring it is well worth the price $269 vs $479
Cons* the top iron doesn't have a handle and to make adjustments to tilt onto a sandwich so you have to find a balance point or center your sandwich to get an even press. (Waring has 2 handles one to press with other to adjust top iron)
Minus the intrusction manual is poorly translated. So you are in your own if you don't know how to season the cast iron you may get some sticking when you put your food on.
The grease collecter has sharp edges and will get warm and fits loosely enough that it may tip or burn or cut you if you mis handle it.
Overall I would recommend this product.
Will update if anything happens to merit a star change.

Another addition to my favorite kitchen items. Prepares my Paninis in just a jiffy.

excellent

This product is amazing, however I had it charged to the wrong card. I meant to charge it to my business card, and I charged it to my personal card by mistake. I called Amazon to get this fixed and they told me it is impossible to switch the transactions with the card. They told me I have to box this product back up, and send it back and repurchase the entire product over again with the other card. A huge inconvenience because my restaurant needed this press in the first place. Again nothing against the product its great! I just wish Amazon could have helped me.

I just used this deep fryer on Saturday, April 9th, 2016 and it was absolutely wonderful! The fryer reads in "Celsius" temperature instead of Fahrenheit, but it holds your set temperature flawlessly. There are two separate dual tanks with a cord for each tank and I fried some fresh fish on one side and fresh French Fries and onions on the other and the finished product for both were utter perfection and nothing gets burned or overcooked! I loved this feature because there is no chance of cross-contamination and your French Fries do not end up tasting like fish!!! It cooks really quickly, so there is "no chance" of your food products being "soggy or greasy" and your food is "crisp." Since it is considered a "turkey fryer," it does require that you already have a designated 20-Amp circuit or have one installed as I did in order for it to work without incident. Also, it is deep and the frying baskets are much larger than normal (which is great because it houses a lot of food product) and you have to use at least 3 gallons of cooking oil in order to fill it making sure that you do not fill it over the "minimum" line because from my past experience, the oil will rise above the plateau of the edges of the frying chambers. The only negative with this fryer is, is it does not have a "bottom plate" on it and it is best that you sit it on a large, wooden cutting board to prevent your countertop or other surface from getting damaged because of the high heat. I would definitely "highly recommend" this deep fryer for purchase and use to any customer who wishes to own a commercial deep fryer. It is simply fabulous and I love it!
