A waffle baker, grill, and griddle, this three-in-one appliance comes in handy during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after school. Key to the unit’s versatility are two 8-inch-square cooking plates–one set into the product’s bottom and the other into the hinged top. On one side the plates form grids for making four waffles at once. Flipped over to show their flat sides they’re capable of top and bottom grilling a sandwich or steak. To create griddle space, the top opens up flat, forming two 8-inch-square cooking surfaces for all foods that love a griddle–such as pancakes, hash browns, and eggs. Channels send grease to spouts in the griddles’ corners, where it drains away. Nonstick to release food easily and wipe clean, the cooking plates also can be removed for scrubbing. A heat control offers high, low, and medium temperatures. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 900-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the unit upright for compact storage. It measures 11-1/4 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 11-3/4 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. The plates will be slightly loose when the lid is open but this is normal with waffle/grill makers that are inter changeable.The plates are secured by little metal clips. The clips secure the plates to the griddle. You can take them out and flip them to make waffles.–Fred Brack

A Great Value that Lasts and Lasts…. I have uploaded a picture of our 8 1/2 year old Black & Decker G48TD that was purchased in the summer of 2002, side-by-side with the new replacement I just bought this week. The old one was still working, but the no-stick finish was finally worn through, and what looked like rust was showing.
Black and Decker dropped the ball badly on this I’ve always been a B&D fan. This however was a complete disappointment. The construction is way too flimsy for what it’s supposed to do. The interchangeable panels are a great concept, but the locking tabs are weak and don’t hold them securely, so they fall out easily. Not good when you realize that behind them are unshielded heating elements. The hinges that allow the top to adjust for sandwiches are stamped metal and very lightweight rivets…very flimsy. Sadly, this unit shows what happens…
Poor value for the money I hate giving negative reviews and I gave this unit a many chances as I deemed safe but sent it back after the first use. I purchased this unit because I thought I was getting a great value. Make paninis, waffles and everything else for $40? Wow! Great value right? Not so much. When I took it out of the box the fit and finish was cheaper than what I would have thought for the money but I’ve never owned a waffle maker so I gave it chance. I also really wanted to make my 2 year old some…
