Proctor Silex Double Mini Waffle Maker Machine with 4” Round Non-stick Grids, Makes 2 Personalized Individual Breakfast Keto Chaffles and Hashbrowns, Compact, Black (26102)

There's a more popular brand of mini waffle irons and by most accounts, it's a good product. Call me old (school) -- and maybe unreasonable -- but I'm swayed by long-term success more than what's hot today. Proctor Silex is a brand that has been around since my childhood (which means that it is old (school), too). I figured that, if they have survived that long, they must be doing something right, so I rolled the figurative dice and bought this one. I was not disappointed. I bought this primarily to get in on the chaffle (low-carb waffles with cheese as a primary ingredient) craze. (What was that about old school? Okay...) This makes those --and traditional waffles -- extraordinarily well. Like my old-school large (GE) waffle iron, it takes a couple of minutes or so to warm up. I put the waffle/chaffle batter in, gently lower the lid, and watch the steam. After a minute or so, the steam will increase greatly in the cooking process. When it begins to subside, you know that it's nearly done. I let it cook a little longer (until the steaming almost stops) for a nicely browned finish if I am going to eat right away. Otherwise, I will remove the waffle sooner (while it is still a light golden color) and cool it on a cake rack for freezing. Those toast up beautifully, later. Color (i.e., cooking) is uniform across the waffles. Unlike my 40+ year-old big waffle iron, the top and bottom of the finished product are also uniformly browned. Since you put the batter on the bottom, you should expect the bottom to brown a little more than the too, but this iron seems to compensate; top snd bottom seem to finish evenly. This tickled me. Cleanup is a breeze. There's enough oil in the batters I've used that there's been no need to oil the iron. (Chaffle cheese and egg contain fat. Waffle batter contains oil and egg.). Between the oil content and the non-stick surface of the iron, (w/ch)affles release easily when done. Cleanup amounts to a wipedown with a half paper towel, which contributes to the compost bin. I'm tempted to say more, but there's not much more to say. It's a simple device that simply works -- beautifully. Highly recommended.

So far so good! Perfect sized waffles, easy to use, relatively quick.

Working out perfect in our camping trailer. Small and compact.

This is a nicely compact waffle maker that makes standard (not Belgian) waffles. Waffles are a Sunday tradition in our family, and my wife's waffles are the world's best. We bought this for use in our RV, because it doesn't take up a lot of space, and we love that this allows us to make fresh waffles on the road. It is a little slow - we have a single-waffle maker from another popular brand that takes 2 minutes 30 seconds to make a nicely done waffle. This takes about 3-1/2 minutes, but they come out great. The non-stick surface has been great, so we only have to give it a quick wipe. The main concern is that the back "foot" of the unit is pretty thin plastic, and sticks out in a way that is vulnerable. So, we are careful to not bang it around our drop it. So far so good. It is this design weakness that took off one star. We like it well enough that we would buy another if this one ever breaks.

Love this ! We use it for all meals and desserts! Make cookies, or blueberry waffles, better than the larger waffle irons.

I bought this to make chaffles, but I will make waffles in it, as well. It heated right up and I poured my first batch of batter. 2 1/2 to 3 minutes later, my mini chaffles were ready and came right off the non-stick surface with ease. You do have to make sure you portion your batter correctly, so they don’t overflow. I love that I can make 2 chaffles at a time. It arrived in perfect condition and works great straight out of the box. I had read the mixed reviews, but mine came well packaged and brand new, as expected. That said, you should treat it with care. While I wouldn’t call it fragile, it needs to be handled correctly and carefully, like any electrical appliance. It could easily be broken otherwise. When I was finishing cooking, I just had to wipe down the machine for easy clean up. Carefully placed in my cupboard for next time! I love this waffle-maker!

Works very well! It has a great non- stick surface that I dont even have to grease. I make several batches of waffles to freeze and the temp stays consistant. I purchased this smaller size for ease of storage in my cupboards.

Broke with in 6 months

I love this little waffle maker. It makes nice small waffles two at a time. Nice and small and stores in my cabinet easily. I wish it had a timer, but I guess that would make the price go up? So I just use my oven timer. Set it for 2 minutes and it's done. I make a batch of them and freeze some for later. Like homemade eggos. :)

Muy buen tamaño para una persona. En 3 minutos tienes uno o dos waffles.

Love this little device.

Es una muy buena compra es pequeño pero muy funcional

Was quite happy with the mini waffle maker when I first made waffle. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO WIPE CLEAN I NOTICED SMALL HOLE IN THE BASE. WTH? Proctor Silex was always quality product BUT I QUESTION IT NOW!! ZERO STARS UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO PUT 1 STAR- SEE PHOTO
