Double Panini Grill #1:
- If you’ve been following my guides for a while, then you know that I always start my reviews on a high note – and what is a better way to start a guide on the best double Panini grills than with a product from Waring? I first came across the manufacturer while reviewing products for a guide I was creating on the best commercial toasters. Two of its conveyor toasters performed so well that I promised myself I would always give a Waring product a chance when creating a guide where I think it can fit. This masterpiece certainly deserves this first spot.
- Straight out of the box, you’ll love the dual Italian style grooved grills the appliance boasts. But they are not there just for aesthetics. The ribbed cast iron plates have been designed in a way that ensures even heat distribution as well as quick cooking time.
- As you can probably tell from the product’s image above, it also boasts dual power switch and a ready indicator light to let you know when your meal is ready for consumption. The product has also been approved by EL, cUL, and NSF certification.
Notable features:

Double Panini Grill #3:
- Another double Panini grill from a leading brand. If you have checked out my guide on how to pick the best kitchen appliances, then you remember that one of the things I repeatedly noted is that you should always separate your options according to their manufacturing brand and only pick those from the most reputable ones. Well, Ovente is one of such brands. The reason for this advice is that, unlike lesser-known brands, renowned brands like Ovente have a reputation to maintain which means they will go above and beyond to ensure that the unit they sell you can deliver as advertised.
- All the above certainly summarizes what this Ovente GP1000BR Panini maker is capable of. The dual plates double its efficiency by cutting the cooking time in half. It is made of non-stick material for easy cleanup which is also helped by the removable drip tray.

- Well, that’s because I have had the chance to personally watch what this unit can deliver for years. My neighbor owns an exact same unit, and when I reached out to him to ask about its performance, he pointed out that his hasn’t run into any issues over the last three years he has owned it. He also pointed out that his unit has been knocked down several times by his children but that hasn’t affected its ability to deliver.
- Another thing about the unit worth noting is that it boasts self-balancing upper plates. This means that they will automatically adjust to the thickness of the meal you are trying to prepare and stay in place.
