Score: 80/100
All-Clad Electric Indoor Grill
Score: 81/100Rankings
The All-Clad Electric Indoor Grill features AutoSense technology, a large 5-liter capacity and removable dishwasher-safe plates, delivering hands-free, high-capacity cooking. Its inability to lay completely flat and the short power cord limit versatility for pure panini pressing. Ideal for families seeking automated grilling and large-batch cooking.
The Breville Perfect Press™ offers precise low-pressure crushing, adjustable height and a premium non-stick surface in a compact stainless-steel design. Its main trade-offs are a higher price and a limited 2-slice capacity. Ideal for cooks who prioritize even toasting and build quality in a small kitchen.

“"Precise AutoSense technology delivers consistent results without flipping or monitoring, ideal for steaks, frozen chicken, veggies, burgers, paninis." - Williams Sonoma video”

Professional reviewers commend the All-Clad indoor grill for its innovative AutoSense sensor that reads food thickness and adjusts cooking parameters automatically, the expanded five-level doneness control, and the premium stainless-steel construction. They also note the angled non-stick plates with divots and effective grease-drainage system as quality enhancements, while criticizing the inability to lay the unit completely flat, which reduces versatility compared with flat-top grills.
Everyday users consistently praise the grill's hands-free operation, large capacity for family meals, easy cleanup with dishwasher-safe plates, and its ability to cook frozen foods without pre-thawing. The most frequently mentioned drawback is the limited flat-open capability, along with concerns about the non-stick coating durability and the short power cord.
