Summary: Good, but not the best...
Comment: I read a lot of reviews on waffle makers before I purchased this one. The waffle maker is pretty much as described, but the one thing I would have liked to have known was the fact that the "waffle wells" were not that deep. I like waffles that have DEEP "holes" so that I can get more syrup on each waffle, plus it makes the waffle itself crunchier. This waffle maker also makes a smaller waffle than what I'm used to. Otherwise it is a great product! The waffle does indeed come out much easier than some waffle makers -- I think that is because the waffle "holes" are not so deep. Pops right out! :-) I like the on/off button and the light. It's a really pretty maker, too. Easy to clean as well, since you can take the grill/waffle plates out.

Summary: Not Good -
Comment: I ordered this after my waffle iron's heating element gave up the ghost. When it arrived I was more than disappointed. The quality of the waffle maker was poor. The hinges seemed as if they would fall off with a good shake. The inside of the the waffle iron was very shallow and the size of the "4" waffles it would supposedly make would have been smaller than slices of diet bread. I returned it unused.

Summary: versital, quick, easy
Comment: I have now used this iron about 6 times. We have cooked gluten free (and wheat batter) items in it easily, no sticking. Grilling and waffles come out evenly cooked. Cleaning is easy. Outside gets hot, so use the handles. Only improvement I can think of is if the indicator light was brighter, or it would "beep" when a waffle is done.
My kids get so excited, and want use the grill or make a waffle out of everything... We have not cooked much meat on it, but ham and sausage cooked up fine. We purchased it on sale, so we could not be happier with this product!

Summary: Perfect for Paninis
Comment: I've never owned either panini maker or waffle maker so keep this in mind when reading this review.. it means that I'm not comparing it to other products owned in the past. I'm reviewing this product based on my own requirement and not on anything else.
My requirements and desires for this product were 1) makes a good panini quickly (about once a week for 1 or 2 people, not a family) 2) washable plates 3) inexpensive 4) option for making waffles if ever I wanted to try.
The machine has fulfilled all of the requirements above. As I've only dabbled with the wafflemaking option, I won't rate its performance on waffle-making - strictly on panini-making.
Warm up - it takes around 10 minutes for this machine to pre-heat the metal plates. Once the machine is pre-heated it is quite hot which makes for quick work of panini making. However note that the exterior metal of the machine also gets very hot and you must take care not to touch anywhere except the black plastic parts after the machine has been turned on. Because of this, I would caution parents not to have small children anywhere near this device when it's on.
Additionally, as other reviewers have noted, the plates are fastened to the device by metal clips and could have been constructed better. I would have been more comfortable if the clips held the plates snugger. Although I've never had an experience of the plates coming declipped, the wiggle room of the clips does contribute to nervousness and caution that although may be wholly psychological is not especially welcome.
Panini-Making - Once the griddle is heated, the sandwich is inserted and pressed. The B&D machine performs quickly, evenly heating sandwiches and leaving a tasty crust layer.
What I like best about it is that when some of the fillings spill out of the sandwich and onto the grill (leaving what one would expect to be a gooey mess), it's actually quite easy to clean. I just let the plates cool and by then, the "goo" which sometimes contains hard to remove cheese - comes right off without much effort.
All and all, the machine has met all of my requirements and I am happy with it.
So, in a nutshell:
Pros: Easy to clean, portable, does a good job making paninis. Like the looks of it. Removable plates. Gets hot.
Cons: Clips holding plates could be stiffer. Exterior of machine gets hot. Not best for household with small children.
