Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Haier HPG1400BSS Professional Panini MakerCustomer Review: Excellent for the price Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this grill at our local grocery store on special. I've wanted a panini maker for a long time and researched the one's out there. Either I rejected them because of the reviews or they didn't have all the features I wanted and the price was high.
The Haier 1400BSS doesn't have all the bells and whistles I wanted (removeable plates, interchangeable plates, temp control on both sides, etc.), but it does grill evenly on both sides and makes wonderful sandwiches. For the price, this is an excellent grill. I'll use it until it dies and keep saving for a professional model.
This unit does have the floating head (top), floating hinge lock, temperature dial, power and ready to cook lights, a drip tray that attaches (great), and a cleaning tool. It DID NOT come with any recipes.
The panini grill has a slight grill incline so the fats and juices run off. It can be used for cooking meats and veggies too. It's real easy to clean. Make sure you use cooking spray before making a sandwich and clean between uses.
I find that cleaning the unit just after making a sandwich, when the grill is still hot, is the easiest. Just use a damp sponge and run it up and down the grill on both sides. Then take a wet paper towel and go over it. BE CAREFUL the plates are real hot.
I've had mine for a week now and have used it 6 out of 7 days. Some days I've used it twice. LOVE IT. Takes a bit to get use to where the temp knob needs to be but with a little practice, you'll find the right spot. I put mine 3/4 of the way and it works like a charm. Haven't tried meat or veggies yet so those might differ.
The only non-positive things I can say about the grill is I think the floating head could be hinged more centered. The instruction book could give tips and suggestions too plus some RECIPES.
Hope you get one. I'm picking some up for Christmas presents. Happy Grilling.
