Our verdict

A budget waffle iron that works once you learn its batter tolerance, which several owners peg at roughly a third of a cup. Below that it runs fine; above it, expect spills and uneven browning.

Overview

This is Amazon Basics' 700 watt, 2-slice waffle maker with a non-stick coating, indicator lights for cooking status, and a cool-touch handle with built-in cord storage.

It is a bare-bones plug-in waffle iron rather than a Belgian-style deep-well model, aimed at making two standard waffles at a time for one or two people.

  • 700 watt / 120V heating element
  • Indicator lights signal cooking status
  • Compact footprint suited to small kitchens
  • Makes two standard waffles per cycle

Who it's for

Fits a single person or small household who wants a low-cost waffle maker for occasional use and does not mind experimenting with batter volume to dial it in. Not the choice for anyone who wants forgiving, evenly browned waffles without trial and error.

Frequently asked questions

Is this waffle maker easy to clean?

The non-stick coating wipes down easily when batter has not leaked or dried onto the plates, but baked-on overflow is reported as hard to scrape off.
