Chefman Panini Press Grill
Score: 75/100
Ostba Panini Press Grill
Score: 78/100Rankings
The OSTBA Panini Press Grill offers a spacious 11" × 9.8" non-stick cooking area and 1200 W power for fast, versatile grilling. Its trade-off is a modest 1-year warranty and lack of advanced features like a floating hinge. Ideal for small families or individuals needing a compact, high-capacity indoor grill.
The Chefman 4-slice panini press offers a floating hinge, 180° rotation and a removable drip tray, making it versatile for small spaces. Drawbacks include fixed plates that are hard to deep-clean and occasional uneven heating. Best suited for dorms, apartments or travelers needing a compact, multi-function grill.

Editors from Target, Best Buy, Lowe's and Chefman highlight the unit's multi-functionality, floating hinge for thick subs, sloped grease-draining design, simple one-button controls with indicator lights, and its compact footprint that fits small apartments. The main criticism from professionals is the fixed plate design, which limits versatility compared to removable-plate competitors, and occasional inconsistencies in listed dimensions and power.
Users consistently rate the grill highly, praising its quick heat-up, easy single-button operation, ability to cook four paninis at once, and reliable nonstick performance. Recurring themes include appreciation for its compact size and portability, while common complaints revolve around uneven heating, a short power cord, drip-tray overflow with fatty foods, and the difficulty of deep cleaning fixed plates.
