In September 2009 I purchased a Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler Stainless-Steel 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle and Panini Press through Amazon.com for our Village Center Bistro - it has been in use five days a week since then, in a semi-restaurant environment, with no problems at all. Folks love the panini, and the price was right - $235 MSRP, $100 from Amazon. And, at least two customers have purchased their own as a result of the presence and quality they observed in our bistro.
