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.

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!

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. Dislikes You 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. Advice Ensure 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. Tips I 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.

Great product. Making very good delicious waffles in a few minutes time! Super happy.

Excellent, easy to use and clean

Bought this to replace an old VonShef device and its rubbish. First device was replaced as faulty. Replacement device is only marginally better. Bought a cheap (as in £15) device from Asda and its substantially better. Cooking time is random. Heating speed is random. Ease of cleaning is ok but not great. Cannot recommend

It is surely not the best waffle maker on the market. It doesn’t make evenly baked waffles, sometimes I turn them to look better but the issue is only aesthetic. It feels a bit flimsy too but I’m not planning to take it on backpacking tour in the Gobi desert. Has zero fancy features. You plug it in and it starts heating with exactly one setting. Cleaning it could be a faff as all parts are fixed together but the non stick coating is actually non stick so not much cleaning is needed anyway. I gave it five star because it does the job. Have a good recipe, put a bit of grease on the plates and you’ll end up with good waffles. For a very small price. Completely satisfied. Of as it stands up, it is easy to store too.

It makes good waffles, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. It even works with part wholemeal flour. Like with any waffle maker, you have to be careful with how much batter you put as it can overflow. It's ideal for a family and I make a few extra also to freeze, put them in a food bad separated by greaseproof paper so they don't stick to each other, when needed put them in the toaster to defrost and warm up, and presto, quick and easy snack! Good seller too, delivered within the expected time.
