Sage - The Smart Waffle Pro - 2-Slice Waffle Maker with LCD Display, Brushed Stainless Steel

Excellent waffle maker. Faultless. We make Belgian waffles i.e. fluffy inside, crips outside. Consistency is superb, with fire-and-forget ease of use. Close the lid, wait till the timer says the waffle is ready, perfect every time.

First try and it made the most perfect waffles!! Ive had a cheaper waffle maker previously and I was really disappointed as the waffles were quite flat. This makes the deepest waffles I've ever eaten and cooks them perfectly every time! I used the recipe for classic waffles downloaded from the sage website for use with this particular waffle iron and it made 8 perfectly sized waffles. I will never buy waffles again! Highly recommended!!

We bought this as a replacement for a cheaper waffle machine which we didn't even unpack as it was so flimsy.By comparison, the Sage is solid and robust and feels like it will last forever. The moat around the hotplates to catch any spills is a simple but great idea and keeps the machine clean. It has multiple settings for different types of waffle, adjustments for cooking time that you prefer, and even a 'bit more' button, so with a bit of tasty practice you can get your perfect waffleThe plates themselves are heavily treated with anti stick stuff, but we do spray with releasing oil - PME Release A Cake Spray 600 ml and the waffles simply fall out leaving no residue at all. It's well worth looking at this book too - Will It Waffle? - falafel waffles, intriguing and very tasty..This is one gadget that hasn't (and won't) be consigned to the back of a kitchen cupboard.

No getting away from the cost, its very expensive for a waffle makerAnd it makes PERFECT waffles. If you can budget it in, and you and/or your family love waffles, highly recommended.

Makes large waffles, sometimes a bit too large for me. My husband and I both struggle to remove the waffles from the machine when cooked. It looks very attractive on the worktop.

After much deliberation and research, one failed order from another website, and reading many many product reviews, I decided upon this one for making my waffles. Yes, this is at the higher end of consumer grade waffle makers, and yes I could have done this much cheaper, but I don't want to be buying lots of replacements when things go wrong. And judging from the reviews of other products from other folk it appears that waffle makers regularly go wrong.On first unpacking this waffle maker it is obvious that the quality is good. Very robust, good hinges and controls, and no chance of handles or wires breaking as with alternative products.There are no recipes available in the box for that batter (at least not with my product) but these are easily available online. Search for the heston recipes that were designed for this product. They come out great. Make the batter, pour in to just above the castelations and close the lid once it's up to temperature. Make sure you don't lock the lid. The product is designed to allow the waffles to expand and the lid needs to allow for this.5 mins later it tells you it's ready, open up and pick out the waffles with non metal tongs. Perfect every time and the chambers are left very clean so it does not need extensive cleaning.Very happy with this purchase and everyone who has tries the waffles love them. Hence the 5 stars throughout.

well built great product but......This waffle Iron was not built for the waffle enthusiast, a good-great waffle need to soft, fluffy while having the ability to be crunchy, this iron only do crunchy no matter the setting. The lid is hotter than the bottom leaving the top of the waffle always darker and crunchier, the no spill while an asset quickly becomes a pain when you have to strip each waffle of the spillage which sometime break the waffle.waffles produced by this Iron are flat and (the lid is to heavy not allowing the waffle to rise and stay risen) compresses it after it rises with in the first few seconds resulting in a very stiff, flat waffle if not eaten right away.the batter used has been used in my cheaper waffle iron where I've have better results every time (batter not the problem)if like me your after the best waffle which is thick, fluffy, moist and crunchy on the outside, this is not the product for you.Pro:Well builtGreat features, timer etc.Warms up in good timeCooks quickly.Cons:Sage designed a great looking products with great features but forgot the purpose of the product, ***making great waffles***on the contrary this waffle will be ideal for potato waffles (flat, well cooked and crunchy)Don't buy if you are expecting waffles similar to what you get on holiday/America/Creams.Buy if you want a fancy well built waffle maker that makes flat and crunchy waffles and oh!!!! potato waffles.Contacted amazon who's return process could not have been any easier. all returned and my money refunded.on to next one, cheaper can be better.

Waffles are amazing, exactly like the ice cream parlours thick and soft. However after 6 waffles the temperature dial stopped working and no longer made a difference so every setting made the waffle crispy.5 stars for amazon as sorted a refund, 3 for the machine as the waffles are amazing but build quality questionable.Second waffle maker in the post, if it works easily worth 5 stars.
