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.

It’s a necessity in every kitchen , I gifted my friend on her birthday, very lovely machine and easy to use

Loved that it was very easy to use. Had read the previous reviews before I purchased it and came up with a good waffle batter mixture to use before it had even arrived! Through a bit of trial and error, I found that if you leave them to almost overcook, they come out much crispier. (Otherwise pop in the oven while you make more). They do take a bit longer to actually cook that I thought they would, but even the first time I made them for my kids (teenagers), there were no complaints and they scoffed the lot! Only downside - It would be better if the handle had a locking mechanism to keep the waffle maker closed properly while cooking as when the waffles start to puff up I found the lid opened slightly. You can just hold it closed yourself but then you can't really go and do anything else! Tip - make more waffle batter than you think you'll need as each waffle uses quite a bit and you run out fairly quickly! Otherwise it's a great little machine at a very reasonable rice.

Must have spent a few weeks looking at waffle makers, reading reviews including cheaper ones incase they were actually the more premium models on offer. I do love a good bargain especially when it's such good value for money 💰 this one was on offer at the time of purchase. I nearly went with the dual Salter model but reviews put me off, plus my wife really wants round waffle makers. Again the reviews for the dual NETTA model put me off and in the end I decided on this single plate version because it just looked larger and a well made product with really encouraging reviews from customers who are clearly getting the most out of it! I was excited when it arrived, those Amazon boxes are always deceptively large or overkill. I had hoped that they sent me a better model in error on account of the size of the packaging 📦 So I opened it up and wiped the plates clean for the first time with a damp sponge. I read through the manual before anything else. I plugged it in and set the temperature quite high as this is only 700W and waited for it to heat up and using a piece of greaseproof paper applied a little butter, you could use oil or those sprays but I find oil is not right for waffle makers when a dab of butter is more than enough. I have my own recipe for the mix that I had made earlier. The temperature was set to high and after the light went out I poured in the mixture and closed the lid. The first was too thin and the second overflowed leaving a dough edge that was still cooked enough to eat. Eventually, I found a happy medium and one tip dribble your mix over the raised squares as this helps to eliminate holes! My first waffles were too thin or too doughy. My mix was enough for eight servings though, two each for my family. It has taken time to improve the quality and get them more crispy on the outside most of the time, this includes flipping them over as and when necessary! Once they are cooked top with blueberries, syrup and cream and enjoy, we did!

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.

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.

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!

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