Independent 60–230°C zone controls and a 250°C+ sear mode split cooking duties across three swappable ceramic plate sets, turning this into a grill, griddle, and waffle station rather than a styled toastie maker.

·One appliance for grill, griddle and waffles

NOT FOR

·Small cupboards
·Buyers who only make one toastie at a time

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A rare appliance that treats countertop presence as part of the object: coherent 1950s silhouette, LCD, tactile knobs and a substantial, stable body. It is large, so it rewards permanent counter space.

LONGEVITY

Two-year parts-and-labour warranty. Removable plates reduce cleaning damage, but ceramic non-stick needs soft utensils and hand washing is gentler than routine dishwasher use.
