The media could not be loaded. The machine blew up on the 1st use - bought it in January, went on holiday and used it 1st in March. Made a loud noise and stopped working. Don’t waste your money with this cheap stuff. Amazon - shame on u for allowing fire hazard stuff to be sold on Amazon

Love it! Watched utube videos on street market workers using larger appliances. So had an idea how to use it. As long as you have your batter and fillings already prepared you are good to go. Two prongs come with it so you can easily turn the balls. You have to keep an eye on it as only takes a few minutes. Tip: have oil in a little squirty bottle so you can oil dips on the halfway turn. It is not gonna be one of those appliances I use once and gets left in the cupboard!!

The media could not be loaded. The plug was already cracked when I first got it. There were several blips in the wells but didn't seem to affect the actual cooking. The instructions are simple enough to follow. The cooking heat is uneven through the tray as some wells cooks faster than others so have to take that into consideration when cooking. There are no heat control setting so I'd advice doing only a few at a time until used to using it.The cleaning is a nightmare though as the tray cannot be taken apart so have to clean with the with constant warm soapy water and soaking, while trying not to let water get underneath when pouring away the detergent water.

Really good value in price for gifting! Only downside is quite hard to clean up due of you’re not a clean cook

This product made in China is an absolute nightmare. As soon as we turned it on, the electricity in the entire house shut down. When we tried to turn it on on a different household, it did exactly the same thing. I think it interfered with the electric power in the house. It inconvenienced us all especially that this all happened on a night time. In the end, we were forced to finish the takoyaki by frying it in a frying pan with the help of flash lights. Very horrible experience. I will NEVER recommend this product for anyone to buy. It does not even deserve a single star. Such a waste of money.

Given the low price I paid for it I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. However it was advertised as having a thermostat so that the takoyaki would be cooked at the right temperature. If it does have a thermostat it certainly doesn’t work! I have to manually switch off the machine after a few minutes and then switch it on again once it has cooled a bit otherwise it will burn the food before you have time to turn them.It also has a very uneven heating element so some parts of the hot plate cook/burn the food much faster than others.
