Gotham Steel Panini Press
Score: 68/100
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.
Gotham Steel's Nonstick Panini Press provides an ultra-compact form factor with TI-ceramic nonstick plates, indicator lights, and automatic shut-off for rapid two-sandwich cooking. The tiny 12 sq in surface and plasticky construction limit its usefulness for larger meals. Best suited for students or travelers who need quick, small-batch meals.

Professional testers highlight the panini press's TI-ceramic nonstick coating as a standout feature that prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup, while praising the dual plates for cooking two items at once and the compact, upright storage for portability. However, they note the limited cooking surface restricts it to small-portion meals and criticize the plasticky build quality.
Everyday users consistently praise the ease of use, rapid cooking time, and effortless wipe-clean nonstick surface, especially for quick kids' meals. Common complaints focus on the tiny sandwich size, inability to handle thick or large fillings, and a cheap-looking plastic construction.
