The HOUSNAT 3-in-1 Sandwich Maker is a versatile three-plate press for small kitchens, best for singles and couples short on cupboard space. Rated 4.3 out of 5 across 415 user ratings. The main drawback: heat can be uneven. We scored it 4.0 out of 5.
Three appliances in one small box is the appeal; even heat and long-term durability are where it can fall short. The HOUSNAT press comes with sandwich, waffle and grill plates that swap in and out, a 1200W element with a five-setting dial, and plates that go in the dishwasher. It replaces a sandwich toaster and a waffle iron in half the cupboard space and stores upright, but some units heat unevenly or take far longer to warm up than the 3-4 minutes quoted, there is no auto shut-off, and it cooks for one or two at a time.
NoFussDeal rates the HOUSNAT 3-in-1 Sandwich Maker 4.0 out of 5 at $52.99. Last updated September 26, 2026.
A knob with five heat settings controls the 1200W element, and turning it back to 0 switches the press off without unplugging it.
Three sets of detachable non-stick plates - sandwich, waffle and grill - swap into the same body, covering toasted sandwiches, waffles, French toast, steak and vegetables.
At 9 x 11.2 x 4.64 inches and 7.6 lb, with heat-resistant handles, a latch and non-slip feet, it is designed to stand upright in a cupboard.
HOUSNAT quotes a 3-4 minute preheat and two waffles in about 5 minutes; real-world heating is quick on many units but uneven or slow on others.

Paid for itself right away. I got rid of an older broken single sandwich press AND a cheap waffle maker with half the space and still got an extra set of grill plates, 3-in-1! Removable plat… Read it on AmazonLynnetePC · March 12, 2023 · Verified

Check that all three plate sets and the manual are in the box, then wash the plates in warm soapy water or the dishwasher and dry them before first use.
Clip in the sandwich, waffle or grill plates, following the manual, and make sure both top and bottom plates sit securely.
Set it on a stable, heat-resistant countertop with space around it, and plug it into a 120V outlet.
Close the lid, turn the knob to the setting you want and wait for the indicator light to show it is hot, typically 3-4 minutes.
Brush a little oil on the grill or waffle plates, add your food, close and latch the lid, and cook until the indicator shows it is done.
Turn the knob back to 0 when you finish - there is no automatic shut-off - and let the plates cool before removing them.
For most buyers, yes: we score it 4.0 out of 5. The HOUSNAT 3-in-1 Sandwich Maker is a practical space-saver: three plate sets, a 1200W element that gets properly hot, five heat settings and dishwasher-safe plates in a box that stores upright. Rated 4.3 out of 5 across 415 user ratings.
Heat can be uneven, and some units take far longer to warm up than the quoted 3-4 minutes. Durability and lid function draw complaints over time.
Clean the plates after each use, once they have cooled, in the sink or dishwasher. Wipe the outer housing with a damp cloth.
Preheat on the highest setting and don't open the lid early; high heat sets the outside of the batter quickly for a crisp shell and a soft centre.
The HOUSNAT 3-in-1 Sandwich Maker is a practical space-saver: three plate sets, a 1200W element that gets properly hot, five heat settings and dishwasher-safe plates in a box that stores upright. It does waffles, toasted sandwiches and light grilling well enough to replace two separate gadgets for a small household. The compromises are evenness and longevity - some units brown unevenly or take much longer to heat than promised, durability and lid complaints recur, and there is no auto shut-off. It is a good buy for occasional cooks who value versatility and easy cleaning, less so for anyone who wants a press to last for years of daily use.
Buy it for versatility and easy cleaning in a small kitchen; skip it if you cook for a family or need a press that browns perfectly evenly every time.
