Amazon.com Review
If you're heading off to college, renting a small studio space, remodeling a kitchen, or just love waffles or grilled cheese, the Meal Maker Belgian waffle baker and sandwich griddle is a great stand-in for a full stovetop. This sandwich toaster not only makes fancy panini-style grilled sandwiches in minutes, but also batter-based items, such as pancakes or omelets, as well as turnovers or French toast. What's more, by switching the grill plates, the appliance becomes a waffle iron, providing even more meal options. The Meal Maker's indicator light turns off when it's ready to cook, and, once a sandwich or batter has been put onto the plates, the cover latches shut to keep batter in place or sandwich edges crimped. The nonstick grilling surfaces wipe clean with a damp sponge or paper towel, or they can be removed and washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The whole appliance can be stored either horizontally or vertically, depending on space limitations. --Julija Gelazis

A pretty nice waffle and sandwich maker October 30, 2005

It is sometimes a bit tough to get the waffles to fill the corners, but all in all, it is a very nice unit.

I have two of the Hamilton Beach 26290 Waffle Baker/Sandwich Griddles and use one of them very frequently. It is perfect for one or two people but when the kids are here (they love grilled cheese sandwiches) it is not really big enough. I have no trouble making two sandwiches at a time on each unit and the cleanup is a breeze. The concept of two appliances in one is great for it saves storage space.
 not good enough September 7, 2001

I would have preferred a waffle/toaster that could also grill meat. It takes too long to heat up and cool down to facilitate cleaning.
The cost is a little high for what you get and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I recall having a toaster similar to that in my youth and it recieved a lot of use, this item won't.

The way it cooks, ease of use, and quick cleanup is the reason I give this Hamilton Beach Waffle Maker a five star rating. I've been having waffles for breakfast every morning since the first time I decided to give it a try. I use it for waffles and grilled cheese sandwiches, and I am very pleased with the results. Cleanup is a breeze because the plates pop out for washing. It is especially ideal for a single person on the go.
I would recommend this appliance. January 21, 2001

I received this waffle iron/sandwich grill for Christmas. While the grill side could be bigger, I can make two full-size sandwiches on it. Maybe we use smaller loaves of bread that other people, but it works for us. It does not, however, have enough grill space to fry pancakes on it. Still, since it is just my husband and I, this appliance is a nice size. It doesn't take up a lot of storage space, and the cord is attached so we don't have to look for it each time. All you do is plug it in and wait for the light to indicate when it's hot enough. The waffle and grill inserts remove easily and wash up well in the dishwasher. If you are cooking for one or two people, this will fit the bill - and it's easy to clean. Go for it!
