Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart WM-SW2 Dual-Sandwich Nonstick Electric Grill
Customer Review: Fantastic! I love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This little thing gets the job done! It's easy to use and easily wipes clean. The only difficult part to clean up is if anything drips by it's hinges, but seriously, it's nothing to be scared of. Waffle makers are more messy! I've found that simply one slice of cheese per sandwich is more than enough. I've tried the french toast recipe from the handbook it comes with. It was okay, but it came out a little eggy. Next time I'll go by what I know. The device does get hot! So thinking this is a safe alternative for children isn't a great idea. It's entire surface becomes hot and it also emits steam. I just love using this instead of dirtying my regular pans!Customer Review: Not Reliable
Summary: 1 Stars
When this worked, it was the most popular appliance in our house. We used it for 3 months. Every weekend we made sandwiches for a family of 5. It was wonderful - very easy to clean up. Then one day, we couldn't get it to heat up. Several other people have commented on the light coming on and it just not heating up, which is what ours did. So, thinking we just had a bad one, we got another one at the store. The 2nd one only lasted a week before it started doing the same thing!!! We are so very disappointed because we love using it and expect more from the Cuisinart brand. We are very dissapointed in the reliability of this product.Customer Review: Back to The Drawing Board
Summary: 1 Stars
Needs rethinking.
1. No on/off switch; pull and plug cord into outlet each use.
2. Only one arbitrary temperature; overcooks often.
3. Contents of sandwiches often spill over edges.
4. Gives off smoke and odor like back of a turnpike diner.
5. Must be scrubbed by hand almost immediately, else grease is baked permanently into the nonstick (sic) surface and cannot be removed by Lysol, Krud Kutter, kitchen sponge rough side, etc. Perhaps could be cleaned by chipping with a paint scraper--bye cooking surface.
6. New unit could not be given away to Salvation Army, had to be discarded per #5.
Customer Review: Not such a great gadget
Summary: 3 Stars
The product does exactly what it is billed to do: it grills sandwiches quickly. The problem is that the grill is very small, so normal grocery store bread is way too big and it hangs out the side. In addition, if you want to make a bigger sandwich, i.e., stacked with several ingredients, the lid will not close and lock without Herculean strength and the risk of burning yourself. It does OK with two small pieces of bread and a small amount of cheese. But, for that, it's just as easy to heat up a nonstick frying pan. It would be, however, handy for students in dorms or others with no access to a stove.Customer Review: Enjoying this product!

This is a great product! I am using it at home for the summer and plan to bring it to work when school starts again (I am a teacher). I love how simple it is to use. While it is heating up, I put the sandwiches together. By the time I am done, the grill is ready to go. I have just enough time to clean up and get my place settings ready while it cooks- I love how I can do other things and not have to watch the sandwiches (like on the stove). One thing to keep in mind is how hot the sandwiches get!! Use less cheese than you normally would - it oozes out if you use too much and this makes a mess.
