A sandwich press needs to do more than squash two slices of bread together. The best models can cope with thick-sliced bread, harder crusts, stretchy cheeses and moist fillings like tomato.

Our expert testers give every sandwich press a thorough workout to help find the ones that:

  • toast evenly
  • heat up the fastest
  • are easy to use and clean.

We've also partnered with  on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳website

ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer's website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn't influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We're currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. .

In addition to our test scores, we also give you good and bad points for each model as well details about handy features like cord storage and drip trays. And our Recommended list will quickly show you which models come out on top.
