We reviewed the OSTBA sandwich maker on this page, a simple toastie maker with non-stick plates and indicator lights. It isn’t available on Amazon UK any more. If you just want a reliable machine for proper sealed toasties, this is the one we’d buy now.
The pick: Tower Deep Fill Sandwich Maker
The Tower Deep Fill Sandwich Maker (T27013) does the same job the OSTBA did, with deeper plates. It makes two toasties at a time in four pocket moulds, sealed at the edges, so the cheese stays in the sandwich rather than on the plates.
- Extra-deep moulds for generously filled toasties
- 900W, so it heats up quickly
- Non-stick plates that need little or no oil or butter
- Automatic temperature control
- A 1-year guarantee, extended to 3 years if you register it with Tower
It’s rated 4.5 stars from over 5,600 reviews on Amazon UK.
Who it suits: toastie lovers, students and families who want a quick hot lunch. Deep plates mean you can use thick bread and plenty of filling without the lid refusing to shut.
The honest downside: it’s a toastie maker and nothing else. There’s no waffle or flat grill option, and the listing doesn’t mention removable plates, so plan on cleaning it with a damp cloth rather than the dishwasher. If you want one machine for several jobs, look at a 3-in-1 with swappable plates instead.
For straightforward sealed toasties, though, the Tower Deep Fill is hard to fault.
