2.0 out of 5 stars Good design, awful performance, May 25, 2005

I took a risk and bought this item without reading any reviews, it was definitely a bad idea. Today I'm returning it due to the poor performance.
It's a great idea, easy to clean, plus you get a sandwich maker and a grill all in one. The bad part is that unless you really enjoy chewy soft waffles or sandwiches, you better stay away from this item.
The instruction manual says that a waffle will probably take 2-3 minutes. After 4 minutes inside I had to take my soft albino waffle and put it in the toaster.
It simply doesn't get hot enough!!!
If it wasn't for the design I would have given it 1 star....

4.0 out of 5 stars 3-in-1 Grill a Good Buy, January 18, 2007

A versatile little machine that offers many food prep options at a good price, the Elite 3-in-1 Grill is a good buy. The 3 different plates (waffle, sandwich, grill top) are easy to swap out, use, and clean. The machine is easy to store & does not take up much counter space. It's small size makes it ideal for meal preparation for 1-2 people, but might be a drawback for larger families. It would be great in dorms or small apartments. The biggest problem we found was that there is no drip pan or any release valve for grease. When using the grill pan the food sits in its own grease. Unlike many other grills there is no way to pour the grease out of the Elite 3-in-1 Grill easily. I used a turkey baster (multiple times) to remove enough grease before pouring the rest into a drip jar.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really disappointed!, December 17, 2006

I have an older wafflemaker that has the removable plates. When I got ready to purchase another one for a second home, I found that choices were limited. I found this wafflemaker and I thought the small size would be convenient for storage. I tried it today and after 20 minutes and a house full of company, I still didn't have one waffle ready to go. There is just not enough heat to brown the waffle, no less cook it. I would take it back if the paperwork had not gotten misplaced. This morning, I was ready to just throw it out the window.
