Best Sandwich Press Ever!!
I was looking for a new Sandwich Press as my other one was passed it so off to the Good Guys. I saw the Russell Hobbs Sandwich Press and it is a shiny red colour and looks great. The actual press is solid and just what I wanted. Absolutely perfect in all ways and the sandwiches come out evenly toasted and just squashed enough that your ingredients inside doesn't come out. Doesn't take long at all to heat up and not much longer to actually toast your sandwiches. Perfect!! At a perfect price too this would have to be the absolute best Sandwich Press/Toaster that I have even owned.

At a glance
The Russell Hobbs Sandwich Press is a practical flat-plate press for toasted sandwiches, panini-style lunches, wraps and open melts. It suits households wanting fast heat-up, room for up to four slices and easy storage after use. The floating hinge helps with thicker fillings, while the non-stick plates simplify cleanup. Its main limitation is that it is a straightforward press without removable plates or specialised grill settings.

Things to consider
This model focuses on simple pressing and toasting, so it lacks removable plates, temperature controls and specialist grill modes found on more premium sandwich presses.
Family size suitability
Small to medium family use
Multi-function cooking score
7/10 - flat plates and floating hinge make it useful for sandwiches, wraps and open melts, but it is still mainly a sandwich press.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - non-stick flat plates are easy to wipe down, though the plates are not removable.
Compact kitchen fit
Good - vertical storage and lid lock help it suit kitchens with limited bench or cupboard space.
Key benefits
- 2100W heating element: Delivers fast heat-up and solid heat recovery between batches for quicker sandwich making.
- Non-stick flat plates: Helps sandwiches release more easily and makes wipe-clean maintenance simpler after cooking.
- Toasts up to four slices: Gives enough surface area for single meals or larger batches for family lunches.
- Floating hinge: Adjusts to thicker breads and fuller fillings for more even pressing.
- Flat-plate design: Suits more than standard toasties, including panini-style sandwiches, wraps and open melts.
- Power and ready indicator lights: Makes it easier to see when the press is heating and when it is ready to cook.
- Vertical storage: Takes up less bench or cupboard space when stored upright.
- Lid lock: Keeps the unit secured during storage for a neater, more compact footprint.
Q: Can the Russell Hobbs RHSP801RED handle thick toasties or panini-style bread?
A: Yes. The floating hinge lets the top plate lift to suit thicker toasties, stacked fillings and panini-style bread while still making contact. Because it uses flat plates, it does not crimp the edges closed like a sealed sandwich maker.
Q: Is this sandwich press a good size for one person, or is it better for family use?
A: It suits both. The cooking surface can handle one sandwich for a quick lunch, or up to four slices when making multiple toasties at once. For more even browning, avoid overfilling and leave enough room for the lid to close properly.
Q: What is the benefit of the flat plates on this Russell Hobbs sandwich press?
A: Flat plates make this model more versatile for standard sandwiches, wraps and open melts, and they are simpler to wipe clean than ribbed plates. The trade-off is that they will not leave grill lines or sealed pockets around the bread edges.
Q: Does the 2100W element make a noticeable difference in everyday use?
A: Yes. A 2100W element is strong for a home sandwich press, so this model should heat quickly and recover well between batches. Actual cooking time still depends on bread thickness, filling temperature and how firmly the floating lid sits on the food.
Q: Is the RHSP801RED easy to store when it is not in use?
A: Yes. This model is designed for compact vertical storage, and the lid lock helps keep the plates closed so it takes up less cupboard or bench-end space. Let it cool fully before storing, especially after back-to-back batches.
