Okay, so I've been using this Chefman grill for about a month now, and let me tell you - it's been a rollercoaster. First off, the GOOD: This thing makes killer grilled cheeses. Like, restaurant-quality crispy outside with that perfect cheese pull. The grill marks? *Chef's kiss*
The 180° flat feature is legit useful too - I've made some decent pancakes and even seared veggies when I was feeling ~healthy~. Cleanup is stupid easy (just wipe it down), and it doesn't hog my tiny counter space.
BUT here's the tea ☕: The temperature control is basically non-existent. I've had more burnt sandwiches than successful ones because this thing runs HOT. That 'precise cooking' claim? Lies. Also tried grilling chicken like in the ads - ended up with charcoal outside, raw inside. Had to finish in the microwave like some amateur.
Final verdict? Great for simple grilled cheeses if you babysit it, but don't believe the hype about being a real grill replacement. 3/5 stars from me - would be 4 if they added actual temp controls.
