I bought a sandwich maker recently in a quest to save some money. But come to think of it, this Cornell sandwich maker practically eats electricity at 700Watts. Though i wont use it for more than 3 minutes at a time, it’s still costly to use it on an everyday basis. But compared to driving to the shops to buy food back, it’s still relatively cheaper to make my own in the morning.
There werent that many sandwich makers sold at Parkson where i bought this. This Cornell sandwich maker caught my eyes with its bright yellow and i asked for one. Not an expensive item at rm69.00. The model is CSM-EL602A.
I’ve never owned a sandwich maker before in my entire life. I used to borrow my mom’s when the urge to make sandwiches arise once in a while, lol. See how nice my yellow colored Cornell sandwich maker is. It even has some flowery pattern with the words “Bon Apetit” on it.
All sandwich makers look the same inside. The only difference is the price and the hotplate’s heat distribution. For this Cornell sandwich maker, the heat is more centered and i find my sandwiches getting burnt easily especially the middle two lower triangles.
Another negative point about this Cornell sandwich maker is the three pin plug’s quality. It somehow warped where the electrical cord goes it. I think its due to the low quality plastic which cannot stand the high heat. 700Watts wei, dun play play. It may be a Sirim approved three pin plug, but still, its quality sucks. I’ll post a pic on how it looks like later, k.
I’ve changed the first unit. Cant get it refunded. If not, i would have changed it to a different brand. The best thing to do now is to go to an electrical shop and change the three pin plug to one that can withstand high heat for safety sake. What a waste of time and money. If you want my opinion on this Cornell sandwich maker, dont buy it.

I bought my sandwich maker (the same model) on June 2009. After using the product several times on the first week, unfortunately the it turned into a waste metal after producing a big blast in my kitchen. I bring it to the NamLeong Store (Sarikei), claim for warranty or new unit. I was given replacement with new unit but the store’s technician tell me the new unit doesn’t come with any warranty any more. Fuh… after using the new unit for a few weeks, i was very scare to switch it on untul today. U Know why? Two pieces of screws and two small piece of metal comes out through small opening at the back of the sandwich maker. The tiny screws cause the sandwich maker compartment unable to be close neatly. Feeling bad using these “lauya” product.
I’ve not used mine for a long time. Forgot where i placed it too, lol!!! Will buy myself a Kenwood next
