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

I used the NETTA waffle maker for the first time today as well as my first waffle maker. And it delivered! I followed the manufacturer's guidelines, cleaned it first. I prepared it by oiling the plates and heating it, wiped and reoiled it before cooking. This i felt reduced the metal smell and made the plates more effective at cooking the waffle. I followed a simple waffle recipe i found on the internet. I used baking powder instead of yeast as the raising agent. The waffles cooked within 3-4 minutes and for extra crisp ( kids choice) i flipped the waffles over for an extra minute. This is optional.I definitely recommend this product.

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.

Left every waffle with an awful, plastic/chemical taste which clearly had nothing to do with the mixture and everything to do with the maker itself. It didn’t even cook the waffles through properly, no matter which temperature we put it on (we tried all of them), how thinly we poured the mixture, or how long we left it for.I’ve never been so let-down by a purchase on Amazon. Absolute waste of money.

Good waffle maker, easy to use and made the waffles very well. Made the waffles nice and thick as well. Good value for money

I'm now totally addicted to waffles! So easy to make. This gadget has been my best impulse purchase yet! I've used it almost every day since. Works perfectly, heats up quick, wipe clean, no faults found yet. No regrets - give it a go!
