VonShef Double Waffle Maker – Double Belgian & American Waffle Machine with Non Stick Plates, 1200W, Savoury Snacks & Desserts, Auto Temperature Control, Cool Touch Handle – Silver

I love waffles. My wife is the true genius in the kitchen when it comes to her delicious pancakes and other tasty treats. I've been wanting waffles for breakfast for a long time and so my wife eventually suggested that I get a waffle maker and she would put her talents to good use by mixing us up some batter. I decided on this particular make and model of the VonShef after reading copious reviews. It arrived quickly. The very next day, in fact, thanks to Amazon Prime. But we waited for the weekend to use it for the first time. As it turns out, it was the May Bank Holiday Friday, coinciding with VE Day. My wife mixed up a batch of batter from a recipe for waffles on the BBC GoodFood website and we had delicious golden waffles in about half an hour. They were scrumptious!The waffle maker is good value for the money. It is easy to use. It is also easy to clean, as long as you avoid any over-spill, which is more difficult to get out of the crevices. Just be careful not to overfill the plates with the batter. A little goes a long way.My wife did say that the plates could have been slightly deeper to stop any leakage, but she is still very happy with the performance of the waffle maker.

This is the first waffle maker that we have owned. I did quite a bit of research before deciding on this model and we have not been disappointed with my choice. It is easy to use and clean and most importantly it produces two good sized waffles. Make sure that you follow the simple instructions and you cannot go wrong. In paricular, make sure to have a dry run before intoducing your waffle mix in order to burn off the 'newness' of the plates. It does smoke when you do this but this is nothing to be concerned about. Equally as important, do oil the plates before use and do not be tempted to overfill the plates as you will have do some extra cleaning. Recommended

Bought this for my daughter who is crazy about waffles. Excellent little machine, makes nice big waffles and versatile. Gets very hot and makes the perfect tasting waffles. Only problem I came across is when cooking, there is quite a bit of condensation which leaks out the sides once top is closed, so I place kitchen roll underneath it. Other than that, fab machine.

Easy to use, makes nice waffles - i've worked out they take around 6mins. Pretty good value for the price.

It’s quite good easy to handle

Plates aren’t removal! Not great for cleaning- a design fault? How ridiculous. Shame. Going to return. Save your money!!!

Does the job very well. Waffles do not stick, although I do slightly spray the waffle maker with oil before pouring the batter in. They come out nice am golden. No temp control function on this one. As a general rule I take my waffles out when the steam stops coming out. Overall very happy with my purchase :)

We've had this for two years now. It is easy to use and it cooks fluffy brown waffles how we like them. The only downside to this is cleaning it after use. I started off using ear buds to help get the black gunk from the spray oil. But after a few times of cleaning it that way, I just simply use a dish brush I bought from Tesco. I get the brush wet and then squirt some dish soap on it, then clean the waffle maker that way. You shouldn't run it under water, but to rinse, I keep the water on a very low trickle to rinse the soap off as I try hard not to get water anywhere but on the part that cooks the waffles. It is the easiest clean up method I've tried and it's still working. You do have to use spray oil or waffles stick but with a good recipe that calls for vegetable oil instead of butter, I find works better and waffles are less likely to stick. For the price, it does what it should and it's reliably produced light brown fluffy waffles. The cooking time can fluctuate after you do the first batch, which can take 2 or 3 minutes, the next batch might take longer, it's not consistent and you have to gauge how much batter to put it each side. It's just something you will figure out thru trial and error. Too much and it will spill outside the edges and too little, then they look like the German waffles with the thin edges. That's it, that's this waffle maker in a nutshell. We are happy with it.
