Philips HD2350/80: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Three appliances in one: interchangeable plates for sandwiches, paninis and waffles cover many snack wishes
- Removable plates: the non-stick plates can be taken out completely for cleaning, no scrubbing on the appliance
- Strong 750 W: ensures fast heat-up and evenly golden-brown, crisp results
- Clean filling: cutting and sealing plates separate the toast and keep the ingredients inside
- Space-saving storage: vertical storage with a cable wrap keeps the worktop free
Points of criticism
- Changing plates takes time: for waffle, panini or sandwich you have to swap the plates each time, so they cannot be used in parallel on a whim
- More storage space for accessories: three plate sets need to be housed, which somewhat relativises the compact form factor
- No temperature levels documented: an adjustable browning level is not listed in the specifications
