I contacted amazong that item is faulty and if I could get exchange. I was informed there is no exchanges at amazon. I got return label sent item and was refunded 10 less that it cost me. When I spoke to associate I was told it is because i didn’t like the item ! Shame on amazon. It is 2nd time within 3 weeks . Last time I was refunded for postage 5 less than I paid. I have been loyal customer. Sad
Great waffle maker and the removable plates are a game changer. It doesn’t cook evenly though. Not had alot of waffle makers so not much to compare to but that doesn’t bother me much.
It’s really easy to use, cleans up well and it makes regular sized rectangular waffles but you can also make belgian style round waffles with a thick enough mixture.
We are gluten free so it’s been great to be able to make our own waffles, the recipes we use work very well.
I’ve removed one star as I think the top plate doesn’t cook as well as the bottom plate but I just flip the waffles over if they seem undercooked. I’ve had this issue with other appliances.
TIP – get the right amount of mixture! Too little and they will not cook on the top, too much and it will overspill!
Its already non stick ,so in no need for oil or butter.The clasp you only close it when you want to put it in storage not when in use ,due that the waffle will rice and need to have space to bake .When the batter is to thin the waffle maker will fall into the closed position ,so be aware to keep it open until the waffle has some rosen..It will give some steam ,this is totaly normal when the batter is inside It need to be in open position,so the steam can go away to get good waffles.Overall this is my best waffle maker my family love everything what comes out from it.Simple recepies in the instruction booklet included.They come out perfectly fluffy .We can’t get enough of it and for my children they find easy to use and doesnt take long to get delicious waffles ,better than buying expensive outside from restaurants while you can make it at your own home.
A little bit of experimentation, patience and care should mean it lasts well. We’ve had ours about 6 months now and use it at least once a fortnight, sometimes weekly. It’s still looking and working like new.
We found many of the recipes in the accompanying manual worked well, but our favourite is the “Luxury waffles” variant. We usually halve the quantity otherwise have to freeze half of them which works well too. We tried a few online recipes but keep coming back to the Luxury one.
Make sure it’s up to temperature and use a quick, light spray of oil on both surfaces before the first and after every couple of uses which makes the waffles slip out without any sticking at all.
I use a curved rubber (spoon-like) spatula to drip the mix onto the plates as I can gauge the ‘load’ better and position it into the corners better than just pouring from a mixing bowl or jug.
I do 5 minutes first then turn them over and finish with 2 minutes. That seems to give a firm but not hard result 🙂
Cleaning is easy when you can remove the plates and wipe down the rest.
Very happy.
Over the last week I have seriously tested out Amazon Prime (sorry Amazon) after having bought, opened, repacked and sent back two other waffle makers, both with high ratings of satisfaction which to be honest I simply cannot believe, low and behold I finally after much deliberation bought the Breville.
Amazon Prime did us proud once again, ordered late Friday, told delivery was Sunday then arrived yesterday! Marvellous
So today the Breville was fired up in earnest, Gluten free batter mix ( courtesy of a Jamie Oliver recipe, not bad, needs sugar and don’t use the salt, enough in the butter!) for my better half and regular (used the recipe in the supplied Breville leaflet) for the rest of the family.
As per the instructions, must always leave the lid unclipped as the waffles really rise! (Check out the pics)
The waffles look a little less ‘browned’ on the top maybe compared to the bottom, but taste just great and are definitely cooked through after 5 – 7 mins
The other major benefit over its other competitors is the metal plates are removable, what a godsend and such an intelligent addition to the waffle makers design.
All in all, the Breville Wafflemaker is well designed, looks great on the worktop, is properly cleanable and packs away into a drawer when not in use.
A very happy Dad, the other half likes it to and best of all we all love the end product, super delicious waffles, now we just have to make sure we don’t get overweight from eating too many waffles!
