Product Description: Using a double sided nonstick surface, the Cuisinart WMS-W2 Grilled Sandwich Maker quickly warms cheese, chicken, and cold-cut sandwiches in a jiffy. 110V AC cord storage 3-Year Cusinart Warranty
Amazon.com Review: Lunch takes on a whole new dimension with this sandwich grill. Layer cheese, tuna, veggies, mushrooms, or whatever is desired between slices of bread, set on the deep-pocket grill, and close and lock the lid. Sandwiches come out perfectly browned and sealed, with a diagonal indentation making them easy to slice in half. The grill cooks one or two sandwiches at a time, and also turns out waffles and omelets. The nonstick finish keeps food from sticking, although a little butter or oil also helps. A red light comes on when the grill is plugged in and heating up; a green light announces the grill is ready to use. To clean, simply wipe off the grill plates when cool. The grill measures 9 by 9 by 3-1/2, and is covered by a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Great for Quesadillas But not Much Else
I bought this appliance a couple of years ago. I used it only rarely, then discovered I could make quesadillas with it (as long as the tortilla is folded in half) and began using it regularly. Food tends to stick -- despite the "non-stick" surface -- and so of course, the thing is incredibly difficult to clean. I could deal with the cleaning task. But, all of a sudden, large flakes of teflon began coming off. I reported this to Cuisinart, asking if I could purchase replacement plates. The answer was no. They also didn't offer to replace the unit. So, I threw it away. I generally like ... Read More
Rating: - Non-stick coating comes off
I've now gone through 2 of these in 18 months. The non-stick surface chips off easily and I did not use a metal utensil on it. It just seemed to rub off while I was cleaning. We got a few good months out of both of them, but for now I don't want to serve my children chipping teflon (or whatever it is) in their grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm sure I could send it back for another one from Cuisinart (which I did w/the first one) but I think I will try another brand.
Rating: - Some may like it
This is probably a good product. But I didn't like it. Too messy, too small, leaks too much, too much trouble and to hard to clean. It spends it's life in a landfill somewhere. I make my hot sandwiches in the microwave.
Rating: - a pain to clean, leaves weird taste
I make a lot of grilled sandwiches so I bought this thinking it would be easier than just doing them in a frying pan. I was very disappointed.
First off, this thing is impossible to clean. The hinges in the back are very close together with seams which allow anything that seeps out (cheese mostly) to get stuck in there. There is no way to separate the top from the bottom and the space is too small to actually get in there and clean effectively so you get food stuck in there that you can't reach to clean.
Another annoyance is your sandwich won't actually be separated as ... Read More
Rating: - I like this little gadget but it's a pain to clean
The very first time you use it it will burn your sandwich. Just know that. After that it does okay but even with spraying w/pam each time it is hard to get everything out of the little nooks. Best to get a Q-tip for the tight corners & get it all clean before storing. If you put any kind of meat in it the meat will cook until warm but pull out of the sandwich when you bite it so just use soft items (like cheese) or chop the meat/ingredient before cooking. Gives a nice toasty flavor though which I like so not a bad purchase for the price. The only downside is cleaning really.
