I use the Krups Universal Grill and Panini Maker mainly for paninis, but I also use it to toast any sandwich that I think would taste good heated. It is amazing how putting an "everyday" sandwich in this appliance can change it's texture and flavor. There are tons of recipis for paninis in books and online, or you can create your own using whatever ingredients you choose. One thing to watch out for is that not all breads work equally well. For example, if you use french baguettes or Italian bread you won't be able to close the panini maker all the way, so you will have to settle for a slightly toasted sandwich. Also, if you fill something too full with ingredients, they spill over onto the grill when you press it shut, which makes for a bit of a mess. Overall, the Krups Panini maker is worth the money. You can use it to create new recipes in your kitchen or to add some pizazz to an ordinary sandwich night. Performance It makes great paninis in a short amount of time. Durability Well made and easy to store. Ease of Cleaning Can be a bit of a challenge to clean in between the ridges, but spraying beforehand helps. Ease of Use Easy to use and quick.

The Krups Panini maker is reliable, easy to use and easy to clean. We have made hundreds of paniinis on it. Performance It heats up quickly and does a nice job making paninis. Durability No problems with durability. Looks like it did the day we bought it Ease of Cleaning I wait for it to cool down and use a paper towel to clean it off. As easy as that. Ease of Use Could not be easier. Plug it in and use it. I don't even think it has a on switch.
