Kenwood 3-in-1 Sandwich Toaster, Waffle Maker & Grill, 750W, Model SMM01.A0BK

Our review

This Kenwood appliance is a three-in-one countertop cooker: swap the plates and it works as a sandwich toaster, a waffle maker, or a flat griddle grill. It suits small households, students and anyone short on cupboard space who wants toasted sandwiches and waffles without buying two separate machines. The plates are nonstick and detachable, which makes cleaning easier, and the handle stays cool while the light indicator shows when it is heating. Before buying, think about how often you will actually switch plates, since storing the spare set takes room, and check that the plate set you want is included. Compared with a basic two-slice sandwich toaster, you pay more for the waffle and griddle functions, so it makes sense only if you will use them. A single-purpose waffle iron may cook waffles more evenly, while a dedicated grill gives more surface area. If versatility matters more than specialisation, this is the practical pick. It is available on Sokonia.
