Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of De'Longhi CGH800 Contact Grill and Panini Press
Customer Review: A solid panini maker, good quality product
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this in Feb, 2011 and have since made literally dozens of fresh hot paninis. I thought it would be another one of those kitchen appliance that stays packed away in a cabinet somewhere, out of sight - out of mind. But we seem to think of it whenever we make a plain sandwich. It is super easy to clean.. simply wipe away the melted cheese/oil/drippings. I have read that people have used this to grill items other than paninis but we use it strictly as a panini grill. You won't be disappointed in the quality, it is heavy, feels solid and well made. Typically when we pull it out of the cabinet.. it stays out for a few days because the paninis this makes are addictive! A great buy!Customer Review: Love it!

I purchased the Retro Panini Grill as a Christmas gift for my husband. This is a sturdy, well made grill for a great price. This is not junk! In just a matter of minutes, the panini is done...crunchy on the outside and hot on the inside of the sandwich with melted cheese. We have also used the DeLonghi for fish and chicken. Again, in just a matter of minutes, you have delicious food! The top grill of the panini maker automatically adjusts to the height of the food placed within the grill. Easy cleanup and upright storage is a plus. The cord is not a problem with upright storage. An extra bonus is the recipe book which will make your mouth water! I highly recommend this item to everyone!Customer Review: PANINI GRILL THAT DOES IT ALL
Summary: 5 Stars
Love my new DeLonghi Panini Grill. It makes loads of great tasting sandwiches in a jiffy...my husband loves them (and so do I). I've tried several different fillings and all have turned out just perfect. Last night I grilled salmon filets and they were delicious. I'm sure chicken breats would be great, too. This is a sleek looking appliances that stores in a limited amount of space. It heats up fast and works like a dream. Clean-up is easy...wipe it down with a damp paper towel and it's ready for using it the next time. I tend to be a bit picky, but I can't find even one fault with this appliance. If it pleases me, I'm sure the most selective purchaser will be happy with it.Customer Review: Works Great. Solid Construction. Easy Storage.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first panini maker but so far turns out to be exactly what I had hoped for.
Pros:
1) Solid Construction
2) Nice lock for folded storage. Sits upright in our kitchen cabinet.
3) Nice grill marks (I use olive oil on the outside of the bread.)
Cons:
1) As with all these types of small appliances, if someone could invent a removable grill section, it would make it much easier to wash. As is you just have to be careful when washing so as to not flood the sensative areas.
2) I want to eat Panini's every meal.
Would give it 5 stars if it would just have removable grills to make it easier to clean.
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second Delonghi Panini Grill. Our sons finally got interested in making their own lunches with this grill, so I just love it! We gave the first one to our son when he moved to his own apartment. Our household is now down from 4 to 2 and we use the grill all the time. I found that we use it not only for paninis and burritos, but also for grilling fish, cooking bacon (nice, flat strips), steaks and all kinds of meats and veggies. The only problem we encountered was the "stop" in the hinge to hold the top in the upright position gave out on our first one, but certainly did not stop us from using it constantly. The second one seems to be working perfectly.
