[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this Stitch sandwich maker! It heats up quickly and makes super cute sandwiches with Stitch's face pressed right into the bread. We've tried grilled cheese and turkey and cheese so far, and they've come out great. It just barely fits a standard slice of bread, so trimming the crusts definitely helps with the fit. Also, I used wheat bread since that's what we had but the design would definitely show up better on white bread. I used to use something similar to this when I was growing up and it was so nostalgic to see.
My biggest gripe is the cleaning. The top plate with the design isn't removable, which makes it really tough to clean properly, especially in the little nooks and crannies. Also, there's no timer or indicator for how long the sandwich has been cooking, so I have to keep opening it to check doneness. The outside also gets hot and it's really hard keeping my toddler from touching it since the outside has a cute design and he's obsessed.
On the plus side, I love the sandwich ideas included in the manual and I can't wait to try more of them! Despite a few inconveniences, it's a fun little gadget that adds personality to a simple sandwich.
