Waffle Maker Mini Small Compact Design, Breakfast Waffle Iron Machine Nonstick Coating, Snack Chaffle Hash Browns Round 4 Inch 550W, Blue BLAZANT

Let's get one thing straight. This waffle maker is small. I mean the main unit is about the size of a McDonalds Big Mac when closed. It therefore makes small waffles and anything else you can put in it. I've also experimented with a single beaten egg with a sprinkling of cheese and effectively gotten an 'egg and cheese waffle' which is much like a waffle omlette.Anyway. With the right waffle mixture batter, this maker works very well and produces well-cooked waffles. Here is my recipe that will make you around six waffles when made in this maker:--------------------------Switch the unit on about 10 minutes before you want to use it. The hotter the better.Ingredients:120g waffle/pancake mixture (I use Krusteaz® Buttermilk Pancake Mix for sheer value for money)175ml milk (I often use 100ml milk and 75ml of double cream for extra luxury)(NB. for healthier waffles, just use 175ml of water instead)35ml of vegetable oil1 eggMix all the above to a decent consistency but don't overmix.Set mixture aside for about 5 minutes to settle.Spray/spread a bit of vegetable oil on the top and bottom griddle.Pour and spread the batter until the waffle maker's 'teeth' are about to disappear. Don't overfill. Leave it so you can still see the top of the 'teeth'.Close the lid and leave for approx 4 minutes. That's usually enough cooking time but experiment to your own preference. The waffle will rise during cooking but leave it be and don't be tempted to push the lid down. In my experience, this just shoots the uncooked batter out of the side and makes a mess.Serve and enjoy. Add sugar / pancake syrup / maple syrup / scoop of ice-cream...the world is your oyster. Or waffle.--------------------------Cleanup is simple and straightforward. Leave the unit to cool and then get some kitchen towel to wipe the inside and then maybe a wet kitchen wipe or Dettol wipe to wipe down the outside. Because the thing is so small, it no trouble at all.--------------------------I'd say its strengths are also its weaknesses. Being small means it takes up no space out on the side or in a cupboard. It's easy to clean and most importantly cooks the waffles to perfection. Conversely, its small size might be a hindrance when you're hungry. You can only cook one small waffle every five minutes. Lol, larger machines will make bigger AND two-to-four waffles in one go which is obvs much better for a family or a hungry person in a rush.For me, it seems perfect though. I'll make the above mentioned batter, make three waffles and put the rest of the batter in the fridge for tomorrow's three waffles.Five out of five from me. Early days so should anything change (it breaks in an unreasonable amount of time), I'll come back here and update the review.--------------------------Please do me a favour: if you found this review helpful, please tell a loved-one how much you love and appreciate them. We're not around for long.

So easy to use, compact, well made. Makes great waffles/chaffles love it. Ty

Great little gadget. Works perfectly and is small enough to tuck away tidily when not using it. Turns out perfect waffles in 4 minutes. Well made and certainly good value for money. Just a quick spray of light oil before adding the batter and the waffles come out cleanly without any sticking or burning. I would definitely recommend.

Handy little waffle maker. A little tricky to wash but much easier than bigger ones and quite light weight. Shame no other colors available, photos on the package showed several different ones! Would recommend for quick little waffles.

Ok so it’s a fun little waffle maker. It’s not amazing. It’s pretty small and slow. It heats up pretty fast but I’ve noticed that it often turns itself off while cooking.If you’re wanting to try making waffles for the first time then I’d recommend it. If you want bigger waffles in less time then splash out for a bigger more expensive brandI’ve had no issues with waffles sticking and I have to admit it’s easy to clean.

Perfect little waffle machine- very easy to use and cooks nice fluffy waffles fairly quickly once at full temperature; probably about 5 minutes per waffle. I’ve not had any issues with them sticking; I use a little spray oil every few waffles; if the machine won’t open or it sticks that generally just means it’s not cooked yet.Not that practical for cooking for more than one, so you have to batch cook a few ahead of time, but could be easily used by a young teen or sensible tween! Each waffle only takes 1 tablespoon of batter and more tends to overflow- you can see that the waffles are quite small, about pancake size; not like the huge ones you might get at an ice cream parlour, but you just have a couple of them. They’re very comparable in size to American “eggo” waffles. They fit in the toaster to reheat.I’ve found the waffles freeze really well so I make up a batch, put them in the freezer and then as wanted put them- still frozen! Back in the waffle machine and they’re ready to eat very quickly.My only complaint is that the plates don’t come out for cleaning, which I think in time could lead to some build up as you can’t readily give them a really good soapy clean, especially annoying as it is quite easy to have your batter overflow when it expands during cooking

The media could not be loaded. I bought this waffle maker as in on the Keto diet and wanted to try chaffles (cheese waffles). For the price it is great, filled correctly, it doesn’t leak, cooks in a few minutes, doesn’t stick - I lightly oil between each waffle with a silicone brush. Makes waffles the size of an adult palm, see hand in video for reference ☺️ this is an initial review, will comment again if my opinion changes!

terrible product - lid never stays up in position (hot plate falls on hand) - everything just sticks solid to it - followed instructions - do not buy it - just binned it and came to this review - cant be bothered to clean it for a return
