No.. U cannot remove the top handle. But u can fold and use comfortably.. Its not bulky, but strong enough.

Not much help here as I have never tried to remove the handles. Never had to as it is a workhouse and very easy to keep clean.Ask the manufacture directly.

Not easily. It's part of the structure of the top. With a hacksaw and file or sandpaper I suppose you could remove it, but that would be permanent alteration.

I have not removed the handle. Look like it can be,you will have what shows in red, approximate 5.5'', hollow. Their is two screws by the net.

The handle was already attached, i haven't tried to remove it. if you did remove it, you would have a gapinghole at the top.

No, I don't think the handle can be removed, and, if you put it in a toaster oven you probably will burn the handle. You might try making your sandwiches in a fry pan with the weight pressing down on top. Actually, this weight isn't that heavy, so you would need to press it down by holding the handle. Worst thing is this is iron and it rusts easily and quickly. I seldom use it!

Yes, the handle can be completely removed. The blade of the saw where the handle was removed will then be perfectly flat.

I believe the handle can be removed. It is attached to the cooler with screws so I'm sure the screws can be removed and the handle detached.

The molded plastic handle is in 2 pieces (halves) secured with screws. It would be possible to detach the handle. The hollow metal tube might have a sharp edge.

In inspecting my own, there doesn't look to be a way to detach the handle. There are rivets connecting it to the peel surface, and the wooden extension seems to be glued to the metal handle.

No, it doesn't, which is good. The handle is the part of the unit that takes the most pressure in operation and therefore needs to be very securely attached. It may be possible to disassemble it from the body, but it'd be an effort I don't think would be worth doing either way.

No. The handle is not removable...it only releases the top of the basket so it lifts completely off. We have a small grill but the basket fit in and the lid did close.

No, the top is not easily removed. A better bet may be to drill a whole in the top to run electrical wires. The top is bolted down pretty good.

The handle is included and you might want to remove it cause iT obstructs getting onto the bench. I dont know if you can purchase another one.

It can be removed by unscrewing it from the top and stretching over the handles. I throw mine in the machine with towels and let it air dry. Also don't use softener on it.

Yes, it can be removed. It is "handle" to pick up the basket. It can easily be removed by unscrewing it. I removed the handle and have left it out. I never use the handle. Hope this answers yoiur question.
