NETTA Waffle Maker Iron Machine - Deep Fill Non-Stick Coating Cooking Plates, Adjustable Temperature Control, Belgian American Round Waffle Iron - 700W

I spent quite a bit of time looking at waffle makers, reading reviews and to be honest, disregarding the cheaper ones out of hand because, you know what they say, buy cheap buy twice. Not an easy task, all I knew after about an hour of looking is that I wanted a maker that made round and not square waffles and I don’t know why. So a little bit more searching and I kept coming back to the Netta machine. It did round waffles and had a 30% reduction down to £25. If it was rubbish I could return it or throw it away. It came well packed but nothing remarkable. I got it out of the boxy, gave the plates a wipe with a damp cloth, dried them, gave them a light oiling and turned it on. The instructions are pretty poor and there are no recipes in the book so I just followed the instructions on the packet of mix that I had bought. Temperature was set to medium high and I waited for the light to go out. Pouring the right amount of mixture is a little bit trial and error so the first one overflowed a little but the mix wiped off easily. There was a faint chemically smell from the machine initially as the machine heated up for the first time but it faded away and did not pass on to the flavour of the waffle. I set the timer for 5 minutes and the waffle turned out nice and light and fluffy. I felt duty bound to quality check the first waffle and was extremely satisfied. I then made the rest of the family theirs and got rave reviews from all of them. It was such a success that we had waffles for breakfast the next day with fresh blueberries (not in the mix) and maple syrup. After 3 waffles, I did lightly oil the plates again using a pastry brush. The Netta machine is nice and solid and after 2 waffle making sessions seems well made and excellent value for money but time will tell. We are not going to have waffles every day or even every week so it is not going to get overly used and I am hopeful it will last a fair while. Getting to the point of the review, if you are in the market for a waffle maker and aren’t planning to go into commercial production, you won’t go far wrong with this waffle maker.

Surprisingly good waffle iron, easy to use and clean. Excellent value for money. Main tip is not to overfill. I only spray tiny amount of oil for the first waffle then nothing for the remaining. Makes a decent size , crispy waffle for one. Now obsessed with waffles.

Pros: * Excellent Value for Money: This waffle maker offers fantastic performance and features at a very reasonable price. * Deep Fill Plates for Perfect Waffles: The deep cooking plates allow for thick and fluffy Belgian or American-style waffles with plenty of room for toppings. * Effective Non-Stick Coating: Waffles release easily without sticking, making cooking and cleaning a breeze. * Adjustable Temperature Control: Provides flexibility to achieve your desired level of crispness and browning. * Relatively Quick Cooking Time: The 700W power ensures waffles cook fairly quickly, perfect for a speedy breakfast or treat. * Compact and Easy to Store: Its size makes it easy to store in cupboards without taking up too much space. Cons: * No Timer: Lacks a built-in timer, so you'll need to keep an eye on your waffles to prevent overcooking. * Basic Design: The design is functional but not particularly fancy or high-end in appearance. * Potential for Uneven Cooking (Minor): While generally good, some users might experience slight variations in browning across the waffle depending on batter distribution. Overall: The NETTA Waffle Maker Iron Machine is a fantastic appliance for anyone who loves homemade waffles without wanting to spend a fortune. The deep fill plates create delicious, fluffy waffles, and the non-stick coating makes cooking and cleaning incredibly easy. The adjustable temperature control is a great feature for customizing your waffles. While it lacks a timer and has a basic design, the excellent value for money and the quality of the waffles it produces make this a highly recommended addition to any kitchen. Get ready for tasty and affordable homemade waffles!

When this first arrived (purchased on the basis of great reviews) I was a little disappointed. Virtually zero buttons, lights or detachable hot plates. But that, ultimately is its beauty. You open it, spray with a little oil (the lo-cal sprays you can get are perfect for this, dollop in the mixture, close the lid and wait. You can open after a few mins to check progress. Then you just flip out the waffles. You can make a batch and happily keep in the fridge for a couple of days - they toast easily and well. The waffle maker is super clean - no spills, very reliable and cheap. It makes excellent waffles time and again. Couldn't be happier. Basic tech, done well.

I used it and the result was delicious. The size of 1 waffle is perfect and is going perfect with some chocolate, fruits and ice cream

Purchased 3 months ago. Makes nice waffles. I used it today and when removing the plug from the socket the top cover of the plug crumbled in my hand exposing the electric wires. It was dangerous to pull it out of the socket with the wires exposed and risk of electrocution!

I am really pleased with this waffle maker. I had a much more expensive waffle maker for nearly 15 years, but it finally broke, so I decided to buy this one. I didn’t expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Today I made waffles using a simple mixture of eggs, sugar, butter, and self-raising flour. The waffles turned out great, and my whole family was very happy with the results. They are triangular rather than the square waffles you usually buy in shops, but that’s not a problem at all. The machine cooks evenly and doesn’t burn the waffles. Everything came out nicely cooked and tasty. The only downside is the very short power cable. Apart from that, it’s a great waffle maker and I’m very happy with it.

Works great but I really wish you could remove the plates for easier cleaning.
