Nostalgia MyMini
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Nostalgia MyMini is a tiny, fast-preheating sandwich maker with dual nonstick plates, ideal for dorms or small kitchens. Its trade-offs include a very small cooking surface and lack of temperature control or dishwasher-safe components. Best for users who need portability and speed over capacity.
The Dash Mini Maker Portable Grill offers ultra-low 350 W power and a tiny dual 4-inch nonstick surface, perfect for on-the-go single-serve meals. Its very limited cooking area and low heating power restrict it to niche, supplemental use. Great for dorms, RVs, or travelers needing a lightweight grill.

Professional reviewers consistently commend the Dash Mini Maker for its ultra‑low 350 W power draw and rapid heating, calling it a perfect fit for RVs, solar‑powered setups, and other low‑capacity electrical environments. While its simplicity and quick plug‑in operation are praised, experts caution that the 4‑inch cooking area severely limits its utility, positioning it as a supplemental rather than primary cooking appliance.
Everyday users highlight the grill's compact size, lightweight build, and effortless plug-in use, noting it excels at preparing single-serving meals and snacks in tight spaces like dorms and RVs. Common complaints focus on the limited 4-inch surface, which doesn't accommodate standard sandwich bread and restricts cooking multiple items at once, leading many to view it as a niche, secondary device.
Everyday users consistently praise the MyMini for its nostalgic look, safety-focused cool-touch handles, quick preheat, and ability to produce evenly toasted sandwiches in a compact form factor.
