BELLA Classic Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker with Nonstick Plates, Removable Drip Tray, Adjustable Browning Control and Cool Touch Handles, 1000 Watt, Black

Bought as a cheap, temporary replacement when my old one fell and the case broke, making it unsafe to use. However, we really enjoy using this waffle maker. It’s good value, works amazingly and has more features than a more expensive one I had previously. It heats up quickly and has adjustable heat settings. The green light lets you know when it’s hot enough and also when the waffles are ready. It’s easy enough to remove cooked waffles (lightly brush the plates with oil after every second waffle). The non-stick coating makes it easy to clean. It’s still a bit more difficult to clean than my previous one, which had removable plates for bigger messes when the kids make waffles, but it’s still fine to clean. It’s compact enough to keep on the countertop for regular use. Especially considering the price, it’s a really good waffle maker. I have recommended it to family and friends.

Wow this brought so much fun to my family this weekend. The instructions were simple and clear and it stated the importance to grease the waffle maker with oil and to dispose of the first waffle you make as the new machine can affect the taste of the first waffle so I was glad to have read the instructions. On my second waffle I lightly greased the waffle maker and put it on the max preheat setting and waited for the ready light to light up which took around 3 minutes. I kept it on the max setting to get the crispiest waffle possible and if you prefer a lesser crispy waffle you can simply adjust the setting.once it was ready I lifted the lid and poured my waffle batter mixture in and closed the lid then rotated the waffle maker and waited for the ready light to light up. Once it lit up as ready it wasn't quite ready so I rotated it back for another 2 minutes then rotated back to open and Wow there was the most delightful crispy waffle and I was surprised how thick the waffle was which is exactly what i was hoping for. The total cooking time for my waffle excluding pre heating was around 6 minutes. The drip tray that it comes with worked perfectly to catch a few drips of mixture from over filling. After me and my family enjoyed the waffles (they were sooooooo yummy!! And there wasn't any weird tastes so cooking and disposing of the first waffle was a great bit of advice in the instructions booklet) it was time to clean the waffle maker and it clearly states you cannot submerge the waffler maker in water. Inside the waffle maker was actually mostly clean with just some minor crumbs/cooked mixture and I used a soft warm wet sponge to clean inside and then dried with a kitchen towel and it was looking pristine. Then I began tackling cleaning the spill down the side of the machine that drips onto the drip tray and that was a bit more difficult to clean because it was stuck on and quite stubborn to shift even with a warm sponge but eventually with persistence I cleaned it all off so the lesson to myself is to master putting the right amount of mixture in to avoid spilling because then the cleaning process is much quicker and easier. It stores away quite neatly with a half folding handle and the waffle maker isn't overly big so can fit in alot storage areas or on the kitchen worktop. Overall I'm very impressed with the waffle maker and i believe after a few uses I can make a waffle,eat it and have it cleaned and packed away without much effort at all.

Love this waffle maker! The waffles came out perfect each time and the instructions for use were simple but detailed enough. I have had many waffle makers before and with this machine the waffles lift off perfectly. It feels like good quality and had no abnormal smoke/smells from the electrical area. The instruction manual perfectly explains how the lights can be used to monitor cooking time so there's no guess work needed! Compact enough appearance that you can keep on the bench / pack away and relatively light for a good appliance. Temperature control dial allows for changes but I have mostly just kept it on the one setting. The only thing of note is that the machine can still turn even when the handle is extended, providing the lid is down, but this is probably intentional. I don't quite get why the handle folds but it has been handy in my smaller kitchen, as when the lid is open the handle needs to be folded to fit under the counter. Very happy, amazing price and would buy again.

This waffle maker is powerful and easy to use, producing consistently fluffy vegan waffles every time. I like that the plates have fantastic anti-stickiness and it's so easy to clean seriously functional for weekend breakfasts. It's the perfect size for my kitchen cupboard, and the resultant tasty waffles mean it offers great value.

I’ve been really happy with this waffle maker! I’ve owned a few over the years, and my previous one ended up at the tip because the waffles constantly stuck and it was a nightmare to clean. This one is a huge improvement — nothing has stuck so far! I sometimes need to use a spatula to gently lift the waffle out, but I’ve never had to scrape one off and throw it away. It’s relatively easy to clean, and the plastic drip tray underneath is a great touch. I’m still figuring out the perfect amount of batter to avoid overflow, but that’s part of the fun. One of the best features is how quickly it cooks — I don’t have to wait around for ages! The red and green lights are really helpful and accurate, letting me know exactly when my waffle is ready. Highly recommended!

I’ve only had it for a short while now but it’s worked phenomenally. At first I looked at the manual and used the middle setting but the waffle came out more lighter than I was expecting, if you want more golden brown waffles I’d recommend putting it near the end if you have a more thicker batter like I do. Very easy to remove as well and as for cleaning, just a good hot rag will do the trick (and for stubborn stains I like to take a tooth pick and scrape it off). Overall very intuitive to use and didn’t take me much time to get used to it.

Good product. Works well and easy to clean

It’s easy to use and makes great waffles, just watch out for overfilling it, it’s pretty easy to work out what you need to put in after a couple of goes with it all oozing down the sides. It’s easy to clean though so not a problem. I find a little spray oil helps to get them out easily too but it works without that too.

Great item Easy to use and clean. Great price

Fantastic product

It didn't heat up so impossible to make a waffle. Bought several weeks ago, only now using and return window gone. Waste of money. I have now given 4 stars. After leaving it for a few days, I tried it again and wow - it worked! It heated up and cooked a perfect waffle! I don't know what the problem was at the beginning, but it now seems to have corrected itself. All's well that ends well!
