DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Stainless, broad and purposeful rather than showy. LCD/dial control and cool-touch handle make it friendlier than most multifunction grills; it is a two-slice machine despite the wide chassis.

LONGEVITY

Three-year warranty is a meaningful positive at this price. Detachable plates permit better cleaning; use soft utensils to protect the coating and seek parts through Cuisinart Australia if required.
