Great size
Perfect size yet not too big where you can still store in cupboards. Also the height adjuster/lock is very handy when you don't want things 'squished'

Q: Will this press squash thick toasties and wraps?
A: No. Sunbeam SPM4000SS uses an AnyHeight Control lever that lets the top plate lock at different heights, so thicker sandwiches and wraps can heat without being heavily pressed. It is still a flat press, so overfilled sandwiches can spill at the sides.
Q: How much bench or cupboard space does it take?
A: Sunbeam SPM4000SS measures 112 x 345 x 353mm and weighs 3.5kg, so it is a family-sized press rather than a compact one. It stores vertically and has a cord wrap, which helps if cupboard space matters more than bench space.
Q: Can it cook more than just toasted sandwiches?
A: Yes. Sunbeam SPM4000SS can be used for wraps, bacon and eggs, fritters and thick steaks, with the height lever helping match different food thicknesses. It is a flat sandwich press, not a deep cooker for foods that need tall sides.
Q: How quickly does the Sunbeam SPM4000SS heat up?
A: Sunbeam SPM4000SS has a 2400W heating system and reaches cooking temperature in 2 minutes. That suits quick lunches and back-to-back batches, but thicker foods still need more cooking time than a standard toastie once the plates are hot.
Q: Is this size better for families or just couples?
A: Sunbeam SPM4000SS suits both, but its 4-slice capacity is more useful when cooking for more than one person at a time. For a single user it may feel larger than necessary, while couples and small families get fewer repeat batches.
Q: Does the flat plate make café-style toasties or sealed ones?
A: It makes café-style toasties rather than sealed pocket sandwiches. Sunbeam SPM4000SS uses a flat plate to brown the bread and melt the filling without cutting or crimping the edges, so it is better for panini-style results than closed-edge toasties.
