VonShef Waffle Maker Large – 4 Slice Waffle Iron with Non-Stick Plates, 1100W, Quad Belgian & American Desserts Machine, Cool Touch Handle – Silver

Efficient, easy to clean, easy to use overall. Heats evenly. Makes four average sized waffles at a time. The lid feels a little wobbly but I’ve used it several times now and there have been no problems.

Great for those who loves waffles. Easy to use and clean

Likes.Looks good and pretty durable.Easy to clean very little residue.Best I've ever had.Easy to use to a point. See advice.DislikesYou will need to flip waffles whilst cooking to achieve close to both sides being even and in my experience best results.Takes longer than stated. 8 mins minimum to get my desired result.AdviceEnsure preheated before filling.Do not overfill. Depending on your recipe, some practise required. As some recipes expand the mixture more than others.Have some cocktail sticks and allow waffle maker to cool down and waffle residue to go crisps. Tgis makes it easy to get any overspill out of the sills if you inadvertingly overfill.Pouring from a jug is recommended and don't cover the squares as this will generally lead to spillage and nice waffles.By using jug can fill quicker and get top/lid heating element to close quicker for a more even cook. It starts cooking as soon as you fill.... Hence best to flip about 3/4 of the way through your cook.Do place on a wooden bread board or base as it does get very warm to hot underneath and may cause damage to some work surfaces I imagine.Cheaper here on amazon vs manufacturers website at time of writing this.I would say these waffles are pretty good and depends on personal taste on the results ie I don't use oil some people do for crispness. Some recipes will produce flatter waffles than others.I have found it best to make the mixture and leave to stand for 20 mins or so. Mix again and then pour.Kids are happy and overall pretty good.TipsI use buttermilk and almond milk as a preference.Seperate the egg yolks and white. Once main mix down. Whop the egg whites lightly till peaking and blend into mix. Makes them nice and fluffy.Anything alse ill come back. 2 months and going well.

I've read through a few of the more recent reviews and feel compelled to add my tuppence. Some of the reviews have parts I agree with and some I don't.Firstly, the maker itself. It is basically two hotplates on a hinged lid and that is exactly what it does. One reviewer made mention of the over-fill gullies not being big enough and I have to agree with that. However, as with any enclosed space, if you put too much liquid in it has to spill out somewehre.Tip: experiment with cups or ladles and work out how much batter you need to fill it, or underfill it and be happy with a couple of square and a couple of curved waffles. They all taste the same.Next is the batter. Some reviewers complaining about badly cooked waffles or sticking waffles.....if I were them I would change my recipe.I searched YouTube for a review of this waffle maker before buying and came across a video with a link to their website and waffle recipe. I use this particular recipe every single time. No fail. No stick. And lovely waffles.Google 'Waffle Makers Hub' for the most amazing recipe. Amazon won't let me include the URL of the site.I have experimented by doubling the mixture except for the oil and sugar. The sugar I keep at 3 tablespoons and the oil I increase by a small amount. Then I make a massive batch and wrap them in foil once they're cool and my children have them for breakfast during the week.These waffles take 4 minutes to cook. I totally promise you. I put the batter in the middle of the plate until I guess I have the right amount to splurge to all four corners - normally I am wrong and end up with waffles with two straight and one curved edge. It really doesn't matter.I check the time on the oven clock and wait four minutes, use a silicone spatula to prise the waffles out and get ready for the next batch.Never had any stick. And once cool just wipe out the waffle maker with kitchen towel.This is our new family Sunday morning routine.Buy it. Use the recipe. And you'll hate me forever because you just can't stop making waffles. Oh, and I don't use the vanilla extract in my recipe because one of my children doesn't like vanilla. Weird child!

I love making waffles in it. I have to wait to warm up but after it works well.

The best!!!

All was well (see rest of review) until I came to wipe it down. There is a 2mm gap down the right side between the lower plate and the solid casing. Batter had spilled down the hole and is unretrievable (and presumably at risk of catching fire near the element). About to initiate return.Otherwise, it works but it's not the most even cook - esp top is cooler than base and doesn't brown evenly. Waffles are floppy rather than crispy. We have a single Dash one and that is much better but a pain to do lots.I found closing it and letting it do a cycle of green light off-on-off (green light is supposed to go off when to temp but it seems a bit random) helped. I used a 1cal spray and had no prob with sticking. Fill the holes to the brim so you can't see the posts. It will overflow slightly but when I used less the waffles were flat and hole-y.I used the recipe that came with the other one as none supplied: 2 cups flour, 2 eggs, 2tbsps sugar, 4tsp baking powder, 1/2tsp salt, 2 cups milk, 4tbsp melted butter. Whisk in lg jug to pour.In summary, I can make waffles in this, but they're not the best so I wouldn't recommend it. It feels poorly built even without the fault.Everyone who has a cheap one they recommend bought it in a certain middle aisle.
