Short answer

The Prestige PGMFD 800 Watt Grill Sandwich Toaster (opens in a new tab) is the top pick here because it joins die-cast non-stick grill plates to an auto cut-off and an ISI mark. Prestige says the cut-off switches the unit off once food is cooked. The Philips HD3010/80 ranks next, as its name lists flat plates beside the grill plates. The other three picks are grill models that differ in warranty, weight and body material.

How to choose

Start with the feature you would miss most. The Prestige is the only pick that lists an auto cut-off. The Havells lists a hinged lock on the handle. The Philips HD3010/80 lists an easy-lock lid.

Next, look at plate size and shape. Two picks list a two-slice capacity, the Bajaj and the Havells. The Philips and the Crompton give no slice count, so their plate size is the thing to read.

Warranty is the most direct way to compare the makers. Philips, Bajaj and Crompton each list a two-year term. Prestige lists one year. Havells does not state one. If the term matters to you, confirm it on the retailer's page.

Weight and size matter if the unit is stored away between uses. The Crompton lists 1.31 kg and the Philips lists 1.8 kg. The other three do not state a weight.

Only Havells addresses plate removal. It says its plates are fixed, and the other four pages do not say either way. If you want plates you can lift out, none of these sources confirms that.

Finally, remember that power ratings differ. Four picks are rated at 800 W. The Philips is rated at 700 W. The makers do not say how that changes toasting time, so treat it as a spec and not a promise.

Verdict

The Prestige PGMFD 800 Watt Grill Sandwich Toaster leads because it lists the most protective details. Those are the auto cut-off, the ISI mark and the cool-touch handle. Its short warranty is the main trade-off.

The Philips HD3010/80 is the pick for flat and grill plates. The Bajaj and Crompton suit buyers who value a two-year term and simple operation. The Havells suits those who want a locking cool-touch handle and can confirm the warranty on the retailer's page.
