Not bad but toastie plates too large

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2025Style Name: 3 In 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseWe bought one of these after seeing our nephew's in action. This is a really great appliance, which we have had a lot of use out of already. It's a sturdy unit, that is good quality and well-made, which I would expect from the brand. The removable plates work great and make clean-up nice and easy. There is a light that lets you know when the plates are hot enough to do their job. We haven't tried the waffle plates yet, but I would expect they work just as well as the other plates, but you do have to be a little careful not to overfill your toasties! We have found that the plates are not quite big enough to fit full panninis, so you have to do a bit of cut and slice jigsaw work, but we just use that as an opportunity to have two different fillings in a pannini - you're likely going to cut them in half anyway to eat them. And they do make really tasty toasties and panninis, so it's worth it. I would recommend.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2024Style Name: 3 In 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseThis is a fantastic all-in-one appliance. It’s compact, well-built, and easy to use. The removable plates make cleaning effortless—much easier than standard toastie makers—and the non-stick coating works perfectly.
Performance:
• Sandwich Toaster: Deep-fill plates work brilliantly, cutting through bread for neatly sealed toasties.
• Waffle Maker: Produces great waffles, though they’re slightly paler and softer than expected.
• Panini Press: Not tested yet but likely reliable based on other functions.
Switching plates is simple, and the basic indicator lights do the job. One drawback is a slight plastic smell during the times I have used it but this does not affect the taste of the food.
For the price, the quality and functionality are great. If you’re in the market for a new toastie maker, I highly recommend this.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2024Style Name: 4 in 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseWell designed and built versatile toaster with one possible exception. This is the clasp which seems flimsy and is mentioned in a few feedbacks. ‘This may not be a problem if the toaster lid is held down securely before clasp is engaged but time will tell. The sets of plates are made of cast alloy which do not distort and the unit quickly heats up and cooks. All together I am pleased with this toaster especially for the price.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2025Style Name: 3 In 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseVery easy to use, the quality is great, it is light and it is multi functional. I use it for toasties, waffles and pancakes! It is perfect for a family of 2 or 4 people.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2024Style Name: 3 In 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseThis is a really handy size sandwich toaster with the other plates for ciabatta and waffle making. Plates are easy to swap and overall easy to keep clean. No issues so far with this sandwich toaster. Easy to store too as it stands on its side rather than flat.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2025Style Name: 3 In 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseI bought this 11 months ago and it's been an excellent addition to my kitchen.
It's got good quality, great depth and filling capacity and can be easily cleaned.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2024Style Name: 4 in 1 Snack MakerVerified PurchaseFirst this does make great toasted sandwiches, and the removable plates make it easy to use (for washing).
But !
1. Part of the plastic housing on the handle snaped off on first use, think the edge of the plastic was out of alignment. - not disastrous and Amazon dealt with it well by offering a discount, and just glued it back on. So happy as really didn't want to send it back.
2. More worryingly have noticed some of the nonstick is coming off the cooking plate, and worse, there is a large quantity of grey soot like material gathering in the lower plate housing, it looks as though the material is flaking off the heating elements.
As there is a high risk of this material reaching the cooking surfaces, this makes the product a possible health hazard.
Hopefully this is just a faulty one off, but I suspect this is at least a batch problem with the design.
Have stopped using the unit and going to contact the manufacturer as its a possible health danger rather than Amazon. Will update the review if I get a response, hopefully will as they are a known brand.
In the meantime can't recommend this product as much as I would like to.
Update 15/07/2024
=====
Customer service took the unit back and replaced it with a new one, problem solved.
But... (seeing a pattern here)
After a few weeks the top plate hinge snapped off while opening Besides the risk of burns, there is a risk of electric shock from the cable running to the top plate which could become exposed.
The problem is a perfect example of how not to design a hinge - three small bolts going into some small plastic uprights - just what was the designer thinking or perhaps more to the point not thinking!
Really do expect better of Salter.
1.0 out of 5 starsFirst this does make great toasted sandwiches, and the removable plates make it easy to use (for washing).Probably needs a product recall - for health and safety reasons + Update
