Cooks Professional Belgian Waffle Maker 920W | Powerful Electric Rotary Luxury Waffle Machine with Non-Stick Cooking Plates, Locking Mechanism, Folding Handle & Drip Tray | Easy Clean | Black

Excellent Waffle Iron. I bought this after a recent trip the US when I was enjoying waffles for breakfast and wanted to try them at home. I liked the look of this waffle iron and like the fact you can turn it on it's side and fold the handle for storage. The iron takes about 2 minutes to heat up and with a quick brush of oil you're ready to go. I also purchased some Belgian Waffle mix on amazon that took a few minutes to mix together and then poured the batter into the iron - cooked for 2-3 minutes on one side and then flipped to the other side for a further 2-3 minutes before lifting the handle to see a perfectly cooked waffle! It was non-stick so lifted easily out just using a butter knife and it was very easy to clean. Even if you accidentally add too much batter and it over flows there's a drip tray underneath and with a quick wipe once the iron has cooled down it's cleaned and ready to go again. I went for the red colour as I think it looks quite retro and looks nice on the kitchen worktop. Kids are loving weekend breakfast treats now. So quick and easy to use. Very happy and would certainly recommend!!

I wasn't going to buy this because I read the negative reviews saying how fragile this is first but thought I'd give it a punt anyway. I'm really glad I did. While it's not the most robust thing I've seen (let's face it, it's not going to match up to catering standards), it arrived fully intact and looks really nice. The handle is quite light to the touch and I can see that it might be easily broken, and the casing is plastic too, which I thought might be a bit of an issue but on using it, it's fine. Compared to my old sandwich maker that has swappable inserts, this is far superior. The unit heats up really quickly and a couple of sprays of cooking oil before use means it's easily cleaned. I followed a couple of recipes I've seen posted on the reviews here and filled the bottom to just level, closed the lid and turned it over, expecting some sort of flood but there was no mess and 4 minutes later I had some lovely, crispy and fluffy waffles. Time will tell how this goes but yes, it's plastic and is probably left to the adults to play with.

We've had this waffle maker for a few weeks now, and so far we love it. The recipes that come with it are pretty good. We've tried the basic recipe, buttermilk waffles and chocolate chip waffles. The chocolate chip recipe is our favourite so far. The recipe uses beaten egg whites, so the waffles are light and fluffy. The only issue with the recipes is that none of them indicate how many waffles they will make! We found that the basic recipe makes 4, the buttermilk and chocolate chip waffle recipes make 5-6. It's also a bit of a guess how much mixture to use per waffle - if you use too much it leaks out. The waffle maker itself is easy to use. It only takes around 3 minutes to cook a waffle, and it's ready to make another straight away. We haven't had to spray oil on it, the waffles have come out easily so far. It can be a bit of a faff to clean though if the mix gets in any of the cracks or screw indents.

Makes brilliant waffles, really cannot fault the waffles. I use the Luxury Belgian Style Waffle Mix (also from Amazon) and they come out crisp on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle, they pretty much are perfect waffles. In terms of the machine, it isn't the most robust or well made machine, it tilts to one side a little when you flip it over and the mechanism that holds it in place is fragile, but what can you expect for the money, just be gentle with it. Ignore the ready light as I think that is just the temperature light, wait until the steam is almost gone and they are cooked, also wait 30 seconds before flipping it over, before you add the mixture stray with those 1 cal oil spray, works a treat and they never stick.

Really good waffle maker

The day I received this waffle maker, I repacked it and sent it straight back, thank the lord for both Amazon Prime and the no fuss returns. This has to be one of the worst products I’ve ever bought, the quality of construction was UNBELIEVABLE!! All components were loose and poorly fitting, the design of the cable meant that every time the waffle part was turned a 180 degrees, it wouldn’t’t sit horizontally guaranteeing leakage of the batter. Made in China, literally stank of burning plastic the first and last time I powered it up. Absolute rubbish, how on earth anyone can give this product any more than 1 star is beyond me, suspect reviews me thinks. Bought the Breville DuraCeramic and even though it doesn’t rotate, it makes fabulous waffles, family just tried my first efforts and got a thumbs up from all, a happy Dad and a great Sunday treat. Keep a look out for my other review on the Breville, honest, unbiased opinion

Makes excellent waffles. Very easy to use and clean. Delighted with this product.
