Breville Waffle Creations WM800B

Worst waffle maker – I used this yesterday for the first time and it was stuck everywhere, it did not come out easily like my other machine does. I had a hard time cleaning it, obviously I had to put in water for it to soften before I could remove everything! Very disappointing machine. Without giving up, I tried a second time, now I brush oil on it so that it won't… Read more

stick, I had it on "high", and while it is smoking, I pour in the batter. But results were disappointing in that the final result shows very uneven browning! It is not crisp at all unless you keep it in there until it burns!

My advice is don't buy even a second hand one as it creates more work just to eat that small thin piece of waffle!

Don't waste your money – This is one of the worst products I have ever purchased I am not at all surprised that this product has been discontinued. The so called non stick surface has to be swimming in oil for the waffle mix not to stick and even then it is hit or miss. I have now thrown mine in the bin after many failed attempts to use it and my children have been disappointed on more than one occasion.

Not bad for a cheap waffle maker – Got this as 2nd hand item and made some waffles and they turned out well. , remember this is NOT a belgium waffle maker. It is never gonna make those type of big thick waffles. this is great to make my quick bananna oat waffles and basic waffle mix ... easy to use and clean and the most affordable and compact enjoy it and eat yummy… Read more

waffle eveey weekend

2nd just read a comment on the waffles steaming rather than crisping up.

TIP wait till the steam stops and cook for a few more mins to crisp up but u may need to keep it on a med setting depending on sugar content.

Moister needs to evaporate before it crisps

the same as deep frying

Diasspointed in this product – 20+ years ago we were given a "Hearts" waffle maker made by Kambrook. This made heart shape Belgian style waffles which we were replacing because it is no longer non-stick. After seeing this product we though great a replacement. The maximum thickness of the waffles is approximately 1cm. With the temperature up full it only just cooked the outside crispy.

Disappointed! – I have had 3 waffle makers by Breville - and this is the worst. i am an experienced cook and have always made waffles with great results. This waffle maker turns out waffles that are flat and thin - almost like biscuits. I have tried varying cooking times and heat, no real difference. Previous waffle makers have turned out lovely fluffy waffles -… Read more

and they were small handy appliances like this. it's almost like the lid is too heavy and won't let the waffles rise. I would prefer to take back to store and get a refund, its taking up room and not ever going to be used.

Creator of tasty morsels – Like other have said, it is a cheap machine, heats up quickly, and delivers yummy waffles. We have now had ours for about a year, and used it a lot. However, now starting to find it not as 'non-stick' as others have mentioned in their reviews as well. I did find that following the instructions and heating the machine up to the full temperature,… Read more

then turning it down to a mid browing temperature reduced the amount that the waffles stuck.

It is a small machine though so is easy to store amongst all the other devices that you probably don't really need. It would have been good though if the cord could be wrapped around it for storage and if the metal plates could be removed for cleaning. That said, they are not too difficult to wipe out.

For the price though it is a good machine and does cook the waffle very evenly. Cheap, heats up fast Lost its non-stickness

Not a very good product – got this machine after used a sunbeam one borrowed from my sister in law and got hooked. searched high and low and only found the braville one in the shop, thought all the machine should work the same and braville is a trusted brand. However, the results were quit disappointing after using it for two days. First, you have to turn it to "darker"… Read more

to really get any colour on it and for it to be hot enough to have the crunchiness that makes a good waffle. Second, the waffle is often dark on the outside but not entirely cooked on the inside. I have experimented a few different ways to work the settings and found out I have to use "darker" first than move the control to the middle and cook the waffle for additional 2 to 3 minutes for the inside to cook correctly. I just want something that works well and don't require too much fiddling.

We brought three of them, one for ourselves and one each for our sons who are moving into new flats. I think we are going to return the other two.

Very disappointed.

really nice waffles – really easy to use, and super quick to heat up. They colour up nicely too. I love them with chocolate syrup and whipped cream, or just plain for my lunch. good for the fussy eaters, if you don't eat them all you just wait till they have cooled down stick greaseproof paper between them (so they don't stick) and freeze them, then you can pull them out the next morning and stick them in the toaster

Excellent – This waffle maker makes the traditional Scandinavian (or German), thin heart-shaped waffles that I know from my childhood. If you prefer the thicker, rectangular Belgium waffles you would need to buy a Belgium waffle maker (and use a yeast dough that the Belgium ones are traditionally made of.) All recipes in the booklet seem to require… Read more

beating the egg whites separately, but back in Europe we never did, and I found a lot of simple, tasty recipes elsewhere that don't call for this. It is very easy to use, cooks the waffles evenly and regulating the browning is simple. Nothing really. I found it a bit hard to clean around the hinges after I overfilled it the first time and the batter spilled out the back, but that would be the case with any model.

Breville waffle maker – This waffle maker is fantastic and so easy to use. Heats up quickly but make sure you lightly spray with oil before each use. I use the pancake premix from supermarkets and it works excellent every time. It cost me around $45 and worth every dollar. I highly recommend it to you all. Ease of use and excellent results every time.

Good – I like it, children love it. Find yourself a simple/basic recipe and adapt the ingredients to suit different occasions. Try using up left-overs, mix with rice or mashed potato and a beaten egg and have for lunch or a snack. Have fun with it. It's neat, compact and easy to use. My children love the waffles. Waffles can be presented whole as a… Read more

flower shape or easily separated into smaller heart shapes. Use as a nice weekend breakfast treat or sometimes we serve with icecream and maple syrup as a special dessert idea. Not as non-stick as I expected, but I've found that as long as I spray with a little vegetable oil prior to cooking each waffle, this prevents them from sticking. Recipes are a little involved if you want a simple waffle, beating the egg-whites separately takes too long for my liking, so I don't separate them. Take care not to overfill waffle maker or it's tricky to clean, especially around the hinges.

OK – I bought this after my husband ordered some wonderful looking waffles when we were out once. I was hoping for a Belgium Waffle maker but at the time this was the only commercial one available. My kids love the waffles, but I think they're more like pancakes. They're quite thin and firm and like I said, I often have to make the darkness setting… Read more

as high as it will go to get them to be browned at all.

Overall a bit of a disappointment. Next time I'll be looking for a Belgium Waffle Maker instead. It's easy to use.

It's compact.

You get nice fresh waffles at home. The waffles are very thin.

The darkness guage seems to be out a little.

Good – Waffles are a winner when we have friends over. This machine makes them very simple and easy to make and cleaning it is quite easy (as long as you don't put too mcuh in and overflow it - user mistake, not the machine!) Very simple to use just mix up the batter, pour it in and put the lit down, coloured indicator lights tell you when its hot enough… Read more

and when the waffle is done, can adjust how well cooked you want your waffle with the darkness control The recipes for batters are a bit involved but I got a simple batter recipe from an older model booklet and its great

Excellent – My family and I are very happy with this product - the waffles turn out beautifully every time. I have had no problems with the colour setting - just set the dial to your preferred colour and leave it there. I would recommend. It makes very pretty waffles - you can serve each waffle as a whole one kind of shaped like a flower or break each one up… Read more

into mini heart shaped waffles - lovely served dusted with icing sugar. The recipes although delicious can be a bit involved ie whipping egg whites and folding in - not as easy as I'd like first thing in the morning so because of that we only really get it out for lazy Sunday breakfasts

Good – Very happy with the purchase. Purchased this on an impulse as I had a waffle craving. Easy to transport and will be taking away for the Queen's Birthday long weekend. Ability to adjust how dark you want the waffles. Nothing...yet.

Bad – It's nice but it doesn't really get much use. It is really simple to use and quite small and compact. I would prefer waffles a bit fatter than this, but it is still very good. This is probably a good option if you really love waffles, but I think for most people it probably just makes more sense to go down to the local shop and buy some. Cooks… Read more

waffles nicely. Good range of recipes with it. I'm not so sure the darkness control works very well- I guess it's similar with toasters. Easy to overflow it.
