Advantages: easy to use and versatile , great looking machine
Disadvantages: takes up quite a lot of worktop space

This one machine has made several of my others redundant ... I have put away my worktop grill and my toaster , and no longer need to use the built in oven grill Priced anywhere between £35 and £45 ( depending on the outlet ) this is a stylish shiny chromed finish that looks professional in any kitchen , easy to clean and idiotproof to use . This model will toast up to four full sized sandwiches at once on the large hotplate , and the self adjusting ...
...the side of the unit is a slide switch which raises and lowers the top plate avoiding any unwanted squashing of the sandwich , so anything frrom sliced bread to paninis and ciabatta rolls come out perfect every time Unlike most sandwich toasters it doesnt have the cutter built in on the plate , so the sandwich can be left whole and cut after cooking if you prefer , but the big bonus for me is that you dont get that hard crispy cut edge where the ...

Disadvantages: Not cooking

...I previously owned a Rosemary Conley health grill, and when it got broken (recently), I replaced it with one from the new Rosemary Conley Energi range. On the old machine I used it mostly for toasted sandwiches , and it cooked a toasted sandwich in 3 minutes perfectly, crispy and the cheese melted.

It's really simple to use- just put in the buttered bread and ingredients and clip it shut, then ...
...minute or two later. You dont need to use any extra butter (just turn the bread upside down to toast the other side brown) so it's just as healthy as a regular sandwich, plus you can experiment with ingredients- i have used egg, cheese, meat, polenta, differnet sauces, anything really!

Breville is an excellent make and when it comes to toasty makers is the only one to buy. They make a quick, easy and tasty snack. I have the stainless steel and black TR48 which matches my other appliances in the kitchen. It has 2 deep fill plates so you can put in 4 pieces of bread. I have no problems cleaning this at all. its very easy. You simply remove the plates after they have cooled by unclipping and washing them and clipping back in place. ...
...with the bread sticking. I once made a tuna and cheese toasty which turned into a bit of a mess but need to try it again :) It has a power on light and a ready to cook light, you put your sandwich in and leave it until the light comes on again and its always golden brown. I bought it on sale so paid £20. ... Read review
