Best Sandwich Maker Reviews 2019

Sandwich makers come in varying designs and sizes and have different features; all these and more influence the price. The simple single slice design would definitely be in the lower price range while the professional multi slice designs would be in the upper price range. The brand and material that it’s made of would also be a factor in the pricing. As you shop for a sandwich maker, you should prepare your mind to spend between about $25 and $140 depending on the previously mentioned variables. Note that this price is not a peg on both lower and upper price limits, there are products that are more costly, and there are some that are cheaper.

Sandwich makers come in a variety of sizes and types; there are different features that produce different results. Before you make a choice, it is important that you check out features that would make your purchase worthwhile. Some of these features include:

• Type of Handle - This would determine how long the handle would last and how convenient it would be to use
• Ease of Use and Cleaning - Ensure that it's easy to use and clean
• Size and Shape - This determines the number of slices you can make at once and the shape it can be cut into
• Removable Grill Plates - They make the sandwich press versatile
• Material of Construction - This affects the quality and durability
• Indicator Lights – This would help you to use it properly
• Type of Surface of the Plates – This contributes to the overall convenience and durability

When shopping for a sandwich maker, you need to consider, the quantity of sandwich you would make per time, the number of people you will be catering for and what types of sandwiches you like to make. All these would determine the type of sandwich maker you need. If you are going to be preparing lunch for a family of four or more, it wouldn’t be time and cost efficient for you to get a single slice sandwich maker. You’ll need the larger ones that can make up to two or more slices at once.

The single slice sandwich maker is ideal for the single person or the college student who lives in a dorm and just needs to make sandwiches once in a while. There are sandwich makers that cut bread into interesting shapes and others that can handle bread slices that are thicker than the regular sized slices, so considering the type of bread that you like using for your toast is also important before making a purchase. Some sandwich makers have removable grill plates that enable you to clean it and also leave room for you to use other types of plates with it.

The handle of this apparatus is also important, a handle that's made of stainless steel would be stronger and therefore more durable than the ones made of plastic which may break with use.

The surface that the plates are made of is an important factor in the performance of any sandwich maker. The ones with a nonstick surface are easier to clean and maintain. It ensures that your bread or the fillings don't get stuck on the surface. If you have to keep scraping the surface every time you use it, you are guaranteed that it won't last long and not only that; it won't be convenient to use. Though the ones made with a cast iron surface (material that isn’t non-stick) are a little cheaper than the ones made with materials like Teflon, you would probably spend more in the long run. You’d have to purchase a new sandwich maker before long due to all the stuck-on food parts.

Sandwich makers that have indicator lights that are labeled are easier to use as they show when they are on or when they are ready to be used and also when the time set for the toast is up. Those that do not have labeled lights may be more difficult to use especially if the owner doesn’t use it too often.

Most sandwich makers are made with stainless steel which gives it a glossy finish and also makes it easy to clean, but the one with tops made of glass or surfaces that are painted are by far easier to clean than their counterparts.
