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.

Vey good quality and looks very stylish. Heats up very quickly and is a nice size and depth for the perfect waffles cleans easily and can be used again and again.

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.

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.

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

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!

On opening the box, the quality of the waffle maker was questionable but what was expected for the price. Upon first use the waffle maker did produce a good waffle, however what was shocking, literally, was what happened after using the product. When attempting to unplug from the mains socket the plug fell apart, the cover falling off and exposing the wiring and fuse, while still fully plugged into the socket. The thought of what could have happened is unthinkable, especially as this is the type of kitchen appliance you might allow a child to use with supervision. The plug breaking is not a freak accident, the plug is made to below standard, the plastic is so thin it can broken with a gentle push with your finger nail. Amazon is becoming synonymous with dangerous electricals that are not manufactured to UK standards, totally unacceptable.

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