The Waring WPG200 Panini Compresso is a slimline panini grill with a long, narrow 14.5" x 7.75" ribbed cast-iron cooking surface. The shallow format is made for counters with little depth, such as bar back-counters and service lines, while still offering enough width to press long sandwiches, subs or several smaller items in a row. It runs on standard 120V power.
Slimline Ribbed Cast-Iron Design
The Compresso trades depth for width. A 14.5" wide by 7.75" deep surface lines up nicely with baguettes, sub rolls and wraps, and it leaves more of the counter free in front of the grill for plating or a cutting board. For many bars and cafes, counter depth, not width, is the real limit, and that is the problem this grill solves.
Ribbed cast-iron plates on top and bottom hold heat through repeated loads and press defined grill marks into bread and proteins. Raised ribs also let fat drain away from the food, so chicken and burgers grill rather than stew, and the plates give consistent results from the first order to the last.
Why Operators Choose It

- Cast-iron heat: ribbed plates hold temperature and recover quickly
- Real grill marks: grooved surface sears defined lines
- Standard power: 120V, 60 Hz, single phase
- Commercial listings: UL and NSF listed
