The Sharper Image 8147SI Stainless-Steel Super Grill with Interchangeable Nonstick Plates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife was wanting a waffle iron, but I wanted something more.As a kid, we had one that was a waffle iron/griddle.It could be used as a waffle iron (of course) or could be opened all the way, the plates flipped and the other side was a smooth grill plate.We always used it for pancakes.I was looking for something similar.After looking at several others, I found this at a local chain store.

Upon first inspection, I had a problem with was the instruction booklet.Though the English is decent, it doesn't tell you much.The only thing it is good for is the legal stuff and to show you how to change the cooking plates.As far as giving instruction about how to cook with it, you can discern just about as much by looking at the controls.Because the instructions don't give any clue as to where to put the controls for different kinds of meats, sandwiches or whatever it is that you're wanting to cook, it's all guess work.I've only had it for a couple weeks, so I haven't used it enough to know where to set it.The plates fit loosely.I don't know if it actually makes any difference, if not, it just looks sloppy.Finally, as a waffle iron/grill, it doesn't heat evenly.The top plate does not get as hot as the bottom, therefore the bottom of the waffle gets brown before the top.I have yet to use it as a griddle, so I don't know how well the Left side controls work.

So far I must rate this product as OK.It does what it says it will do (as far as I have used it) but as with a lot of more modern products, the workmanship is sloppy and is indicative of being a product of overseas manufacture.
