Tower T27020 3-in-1 Deep Fill Sandwich Maker with Interchangeable Waffle Plates, Stainless Steel, Silver/Black

I deliberated before choosing this sandwich toaster due to the mixed reviews, but then none of them in this price category seemed to have a clean bill of health so I just took the plunge. So far so good - sandwiches are toasted evenly in around 4-6 mins. In fact, despite having the changeable plates you might as well just stick with the panini plates, as you can fit any size of bread or sandwich, plus you get the nice grill lines on your bread. (However, the plates intended for standard sliced bread are quite handy for smaller kids if you're sharing one round between two). As for waffles... a bit less successful but I think that's down my skill at making the mix. I never realised you needed to separate eggs and whisk the egg whites in order to get a decent rise on the waffles. They do take a good while longer to cook than sandwiches but were still very tasty, despite being somewhat flat. I think it'll take a bit more practice. One thing I will say is make sure the toaster is turned on a good few minutes before you add any contents, whether it's sandwiches or waffles. Also make sure you butter the outside of your bread, as per the instructions (or make sure you oil the plates).Cleaning is super easy - the plates wipe clean with a piece of kitchen roll. I don't use the dishwasher as it's not necessary and I think it better preserves the non-stick coating.

Excellent product. Easy to swap the plates, easy to clean, reasonably sturdy all over. Our Daughter has one and my Wife saw it and said “Now that’s what you call a toastie machine”, so I bought this one, arrived the next day. So, now have a very happy Wife. Very good item, would recommend.

Great little gadget that I use almost daily, being able to pop the plates out is so convenient and makes cleaning very easy. The only problem I have is with making waffles, as when using batter the steam that is produced tends to collect and condense in the handle as it seems to be hollow, which end up dripping out when you tilt the maker.

When I looked at reviews for this and most other items the same or similar all I got was very mixed reviews. So I decided that as with anything in life, not everything you encounter is for everyone. One thing is not going to please everyone. Everyone has a different expectation.I kept an open mind and decided to order this one. Due to the affordability and versatility of the product.The plates are so easy to remove and wash. They are non stick so it doesn't take much scrubbing, just simple washing up liquid and warm water.The plates heat up evenly and cook well. The instructions are easy to understand and even have a few recipes!I love that it's a 3 in 1 appliance so less room taken up in my cupboard when storing.It goes well in my kitchen which consists of mainly black appliances with a touch of chrome.I hope this review helps someone decide. You won't be disappointed, I wasn't 😊

We love this! Haven’t made paninis but plenty of sandwiches and waffles in the 10 days we’ve had it. The plates are super easy to clean as they just pop out. Yes there is a smell when you first use it but that goes after the first use. I always spray the plates with oil before each use. The first set of waffles we made were flat but i found it was down to the recipe. I just added a bit of extra baking powder and haven’t had any flat waffles since. Always let it heat up properly so the green light goes out. Waffles are deep and fluffy, for sandwiches it takes the full slice of bread And still has space! Just can’t fault it. Really really pleased with our purchase!

Easy to use and gets hot quickly. Removable plates are good, though the material is standard non stick and not the ceramic looking material in the pictures. I suspect it wont last.The waffle iron is good, dont over fill or it will make a mess. The panini iron is excellent, good size. The clamshell toastie fitting is a disaster. Good luck finding the giant scale bread needed to fill this so the cut and seal works.Spillages are tricky to clean, like many toasting machines, ingredient spills over the irons mean awkward cleaning.Honestly, I would pay good money for a machine that managed Panini, cut and seal toasties and waffles with removable, proper ceramic or cast iron plates. Non stick material like this often fails within weeks.A shame.

I bought this snack maker mainly for the waffle option, and all I can say is that I made the most delicious gluten-free, sugar free, dairy free waffles 🧇 and it was my first try ever making waffles. I haven’t tried the sandwich/panini option yet, but I am sure these will work perfectly. Planning to use to grill tofu, as well. 10/10

We have been using this every single day to make at least 4 toasties, since we got it in August. Yes the plates are designed for VERY large bread but I get around this by toasting my homemade GF sourdough toasties on just one half, ie makes 1 pocket instead of 2. See pic. I'm enjoying the fact that I'm cooking on a ceramic coating and not a plastic one. And if I need to I can order just new plates, not the whole machine which is such a waste. I've tried the waffle plates and found that I needed to put the waffles in the toaster afterwards to get them crispy - but the could be to do with my experimental GF recipe. I haven't tried the grill yet.

Appliance had an English style plug not AUstralian - this is ridiculous given it was an Australian site we were purchasing off of. And yes I could have returned it but is was a present for my daughter and she didnt open it to use is straight away so we had only realised a couple of weeks later. Disappointing. I am very lucky I have a son who is an electrician and could correct the issue.
