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.
Pros and cons
- Low price for a basic 2-slice waffle maker
- Non-stick plates release waffles cleanly when used correctly
- Cool-touch handle and built-in cord storage
- Leaks and cooks unevenly if batter exceeds about a third of a cup
- Dried batter on the plates is hard to scrape off
- Some units heat the front more than the back
Performance notes
One reviewer also reported the front of the plates browning faster than the back.

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.
