Sage - The No-Mess Waffle Maker - with Non-Stick Surface, No Mess Moat & Browning Control - Brushed Stainless Steel

Excellent waffle maker. Faultless. We make Belgian waffles i.e. fluffy inside, crips outside. Consistency is superb, with fire-and-forget ease of use. Close the lid, wait till the timer says the waffle is ready, perfect every time.

First try and it made the most perfect waffles!! Ive had a cheaper waffle maker previously and I was really disappointed as the waffles were quite flat. This makes the deepest waffles I've ever eaten and cooks them perfectly every time! I used the recipe for classic waffles downloaded from the sage website for use with this particular waffle iron and it made 8 perfectly sized waffles. I will never buy waffles again! Highly recommended!!

We bought this as a replacement for a cheaper waffle machine which we didn't even unpack as it was so flimsy.By comparison, the Sage is solid and robust and feels like it will last forever. The moat around the hotplates to catch any spills is a simple but great idea and keeps the machine clean. It has multiple settings for different types of waffle, adjustments for cooking time that you prefer, and even a 'bit more' button, so with a bit of tasty practice you can get your perfect waffleThe plates themselves are heavily treated with anti stick stuff, but we do spray with releasing oil - PME Release A Cake Spray 600 ml and the waffles simply fall out leaving no residue at all. It's well worth looking at this book too - Will It Waffle? - falafel waffles, intriguing and very tasty..This is one gadget that hasn't (and won't) be consigned to the back of a kitchen cupboard.

After painstakingly extended 'research' and pontificating I finally pressed 'BUY' late late Saturday night (in hope of trying something a bit different this Pancake Tuesday). We live in the middle of nowhere - but midday Sunday it arrived. Gotta love Prime!First impression review:Compact footprint - say a couple of inches diameter wider than the waffles themselves, reassuringly heavy - appears a good sturdy build. Instruction booklet was sufficiently intelligible for me to get straight to the business of waffling with scarcely a cuss.Badly pressed for time this Shrove Tuesday I whipped up only the 'classic' batter recipe from the booklet - this took about 3 minutes. From 3 eggs and half pack butter it felt like I fed the five thousand - it made at least 11 deep waffles (I lost count). I divided the batter 3 ways.Feta, sundried toms and chives, with black pepper: verdict - very tasty but will be much better when made with a savoury, unsweetened batterFresh blueberries with extra vanilla bean paste: verdict - perfect just as you dream your homemade waffles are going to tasteChocolate orange, with orange zest, chopped black choc with candied orange and good cocoa: verdict - OUTSTANDING! worth the cost of the machine for these aloneSo I added lots of sticky stuff ... no issue whatsoever, waffles lifted effortlessly. Machine has timing options, but on average cook time about 5 minutes.This ditz particularly thrilled that I can get distracted and wander off and still they won't burn due to auto 'done' function....yet you can keep them warm / crisp them up again much as you like.I'd heeded previous reviews so no learning curve or mess, every single one perfect from the start.Mental note to update this review next Pancake Day re durability - because I'm looking for a workhorse - no way is this seeing the inside of my kitchen cupboards.

Makes large waffles, sometimes a bit too large for me. My husband and I both struggle to remove the waffles from the machine when cooked. It looks very attractive on the worktop.

well built great product but......This waffle Iron was not built for the waffle enthusiast, a good-great waffle need to soft, fluffy while having the ability to be crunchy, this iron only do crunchy no matter the setting. The lid is hotter than the bottom leaving the top of the waffle always darker and crunchier, the no spill while an asset quickly becomes a pain when you have to strip each waffle of the spillage which sometime break the waffle.waffles produced by this Iron are flat and (the lid is to heavy not allowing the waffle to rise and stay risen) compresses it after it rises with in the first few seconds resulting in a very stiff, flat waffle if not eaten right away.the batter used has been used in my cheaper waffle iron where I've have better results every time (batter not the problem)if like me your after the best waffle which is thick, fluffy, moist and crunchy on the outside, this is not the product for you.Pro:Well builtGreat features, timer etc.Warms up in good timeCooks quickly.Cons:Sage designed a great looking products with great features but forgot the purpose of the product, ***making great waffles***on the contrary this waffle will be ideal for potato waffles (flat, well cooked and crunchy)Don't buy if you are expecting waffles similar to what you get on holiday/America/Creams.Buy if you want a fancy well built waffle maker that makes flat and crunchy waffles and oh!!!! potato waffles.Contacted amazon who's return process could not have been any easier. all returned and my money refunded.on to next one, cheaper can be better.

Waffles are amazing, exactly like the ice cream parlours thick and soft. However after 6 waffles the temperature dial stopped working and no longer made a difference so every setting made the waffle crispy.5 stars for amazon as sorted a refund, 3 for the machine as the waffles are amazing but build quality questionable.Second waffle maker in the post, if it works easily worth 5 stars.
