Dash Mini Waffle Maker- Compact Electric Iron for Creative Homemade Treats - PTFE nonstick surface - Easy-to-Clean - Perfect for Kids & Families - Red

I was pretty nervous to buy this, but the glowing reviews gave me the confidence to make the plunge, and I'm very glad I did! This little Mini Maker packs a powerful punch. The waffles are "mini" sized, so more or less equivalent to a frozen Eggo. Maybe they're too small for a full king-sized breakfast meal, but these "mini" waffles are perfect for me at least. I've been making my own protein muffins, pancakes, etc so I could have easy snacks to grab during busy days. I've gotten pretty darn tired of making pancakes (standing over the hot stove for a half hour flipping pancakes isn't much fun! Lol) and muffins get a bit boring after a while, so I decided to try waffles. I've never used a waffle maker in my life so I was a little nervous and unsure which one to buy (yes, I'm 27, don't judge me!) but this was a great decision. The Mini Maker is extremely easy to use. The instruction pamphlet is fairly simple and comes with a few recipes, but I used my own, and I'm happy to report they turned out perfectly on my FIRST TRY! :) Keep in mind it's very important to never touch the lid when the Mini Maker is plugged in, because the lid gets extremely hot. The instructions warn about this as well - you're supposed to ONLY touch the little handle on the front. I only had one minor issue: With my first waffle, I poured too much batter into the tray because I wasn't quite sure how much to use, and it spilled out the sides everywhere when I closed the lid. That was pretty messy since it doesn't have a spill-proof rim like other waffle makers. The instructions do explain how to clean the Mini Maker, but I didn't have any success with their method, so instead I sprayed the caked-on batter with cleaning spray and let it sit for a while, then gently scrubbed with a sponge and hot water with Dawn dish soap, being very careful not to get any water into the back section with the plug. It wasn't too difficult but it took a good 15 minutes so I docked a star for not including more effective cleaning instructions. If one plans to use the Mini Maker regularly, it's important to know how to clean it! Now for the coolest part about this thing: It only takes 2-3 minutes to cook a waffle, which is faster than my toaster can heat up a frozen Eggo!!! I'm going to make a big batch of my protein waffles and freeze them for easy snacks throughout the week! If you plan to make waffles regularly, and maybe you don't want a huge intimidating or complicated machine, the Mini Maker is perfect. It's so small and compact, it tucks away on my kitchen counter and takes up almost zero space. I think even a kid (12+) could operate the Mini Maker, as long as they were supervised the first time.

My new favorite eating device. Chaffles are cheese waffles that cook up crispy and make perfect little sandwiches. my sandwich was roast chicken, arugula, and mayo between two chaffles. This is a keto dream. The mini waffle maker is fantastic, quick and easy to use. So glad to find this.

Nice little waffle maker, it makes small waffles about the size of the frozen ones you can buy, maybe even a little smaller, but thicker. It does take a little bit for it to warm up, and about two minutes for them to cook. This is pretty convenient if you only like a couple of very small waffles, but otherwise by the time you get your second one done your first one is cold so I usually have to stick them in the microwave to warm them up after I finish making three.

This Dash Mini Maker for pancakes is an absolute delight! It's small, practical, and its vibrant red color makes it a very attractive addition to our kitchen. What I love most is its compact size. It's so tiny that you can store it almost anywhere, which is a huge plus for those with limited counter or cabinet space. However, it's important to keep in mind that due to its size, the pancakes are quite small. This is perfect for quick snacks or for kids' meals, but you'll need to make a few to get a full serving. Overall, it's a great little gadget that's easy to use and adds a fun pop of color to your kitchen. If you're looking for a simple, space-saving way to make perfect little pancakes, the Dash Mini Maker is an excellent choice!

I’m absolutely in love, it is the perfect size for quick waffles. It works well every time. It’s incredibly easy to use. The nonstick surface makes cleaning a breeze. For such a compact little gadget, it’s amazing, and I feel like it’s totally worth every penny.
