Sage - The Smart Waffle Pro - 2-Slice Waffle Maker with LCD Display - Belgian, Classic, Chocolate, Buttermilk & Custom Settings - Brushed Stainless Steel

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 batter Fresh blueberries with extra vanilla bean paste: verdict - perfect just as you dream your homemade waffles are going to taste Chocolate orange, with orange zest, chopped black choc with candied orange and good cocoa: verdict - OUTSTANDING! worth the cost of the machine for these alone So 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.

Very good

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 waffle The 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.

I decided to take the plunge and spend £170 on this machine due to first purchasing two Quisinart £55 WAF1U Waffle Makers. Both lasted a few days before the heating pipes burst (exploded would be an accurate description). I returned them, but by that point, I was enjoying my healthy waffle recipe and didn't want to go without. Hence, deciding to research this model and spend the extra cash, (hopefully) settling in one that would last for years and produce excellent waffles. I'm glad I did as this Sage model is outstanding and worth every extra penny. Everything from the deep trays, the measuring spatula, to the overspill moat has been thought through. It's clear that a lot of research was done before it was finalised. I'm keen on health, fitness and diet so I use my own Protein recipe, which is quite different from classic or Belgian waffles but taste equally good (in my opinion). The cheaper waffle makers didn't handle the ingredients well, sticking quite often. This Sage model delivers perfect results every single time. I can't recommend this enough. It's just superb. The best purchase I've made for some time. ...and if you're into your training and want healthy waffles, here's my recipe; 1 cup egg whites 2 medium eggs 1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein 1/2 cup almond flour 1/4 cup almond milk 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt Mix in a bowl. classic setting. makes 4 15 grams protein in each waffle💪👍 Serve with Organic peanut/almond butter, low carb sauce (Holland and Barrett) or home made ice cream; Bananas, 4 scoops vanilla protein, ice cubes, almond milk, Greek yoghurt - blend then freeze👍

Nice and easy to use fantastic with the moat catches all the spills, but the waffles do not come out very thick.

Certain things are this I didn't like, particularly that it seemed to be difficult to clean. maybe if you or your family were big waffle fans it would be worth it!

Great item for a fair price. After years of buying and discarding poor quality waffle cookers we found the optimal machine. Absolutely recommended

Very nice waffle maker. The waffle is good and the distribution of the heat is fine. The color of the waffle from the top and bottom is almost the same despite it does mot rotate. It is considered a plus. It makes a sound when it is ready and also when thr waffle is ready. Also, there is an indication LED. The time is fast where I think it takes maybe 3 minutes to make a waffle which is suitable for our use.

Makes perfect waffles
