Overview
A 2-slice, 700 watt waffle maker with a non-stick coating, indicator lights for cooking status and a cool-touch handle with built-in cord storage.
This is a basic double waffle maker without a temperature dial, relying on fixed heat and indicator lights to signal when cooking is done. A spring-loaded latch mechanism can trap batter that leaks out the back, requiring extra care to clean.
- 2-slice non-stick waffle maker
- 700 watts
- Indicator lights for cooking status
- Cool-touch handle with cord storage
Who it's for
Suits anyone wanting an affordable, no-frills waffle maker for occasional home use, comfortable using cooking spray and hand-wiping the plates. Not the right choice for someone who wants removable plates or precise temperature control.
Pros and cons
- Makes solid waffles at an affordable price
- Cool-touch handle and cord storage compartment
- Compact enough to store on its side
- Heating plates are not removable for cleaning
- Batter can leak into the latch springs and requires extra cleaning
- No temperature adjustment
- Works best with cooking spray despite the non-stick coating
Performance notes
The unit runs at a fixed 700 watts with indicator lights signaling when it is heated and when the waffle is done, rather than a temperature dial. Non-stick performance varies by user, with several recommending a light coat of cooking spray or butter despite the coating, since batter can otherwise leave holes or stick. The latch has springs that can trap overflow batter, and the heating plates do not come out for cleaning, so wiping with a cloth is the only method.
