3 in 1 Waffle Maker

Great item but a bit fiddly fitting the replacement parts and the lid gets extremely hot, but the results are brilliant my grandsons love the waffles and the doughnuts not tried the brownie maker as never made brownies before

Initially, I had a unit which was faulty. It kept tripping the circuit breakers. I contacted for a return, which I proceeded to process. Then noticed that I would have to pay return postage (to be refunded if faulty). I sent an email to the seller querying why I should have to pay upfront to return a faulty item. They responded within the hour (on a Saturday) saying, not to bother returning the item and sent a replacement. The replacement is working perfectly. It is easy to use and clean, I bought it for my teenage daughter to make healthier waffles and doughnuts for breakfasts and it's certainly living up to expectations. Overall a good product and excellent customer service from Domu UK.

It was great while it lasted but unfortunately that was only 3 waffles. * Edit: I have since been able to try another one. This one didn't even manage to make one waffle before it stopped working. Again the power light just turned off part way through cooking, the waffle maker cooled down and it won't start up again. * I had been hoping to get another one and save my review until then because I might have just received one bad one. But since it's unavailable now I'll leave my review before I forget. It's worth noting that other review pictures I've seen are not the same as the waffle maker I received. I'm assuming the same listing has been edited and used for multiple versions. The waffle maker came in a plain cardboard box with some styrofoam cutouts to keep it secure. Not the most eye catching packaging but not at all important to me. The package included the waffle maker, 3 types of plates and a very small instruction manual describing the basics of how to use the waffle maker. The waffle maker is very basic and simple to use. You plug it in and it heats up. One of the lights turns off when it's up to temperature. You pour waffle batter in, close the lid and wait until it's cooked. You take your waffle out. That's everything. There are no heat settings or timers or anything. The waffle plate was decent. With a spray of oil cooked waffles were easy to remove with a wooden chopstick (good for poking into the little grooves) and it was also easy to clean even with half cooked waffle batter left on it. Just removed the plates and soaked them in some water then scrubbed the stuff off gently. The outside was also fairly easy to clean after some batter spilled out. A gentle scrape with some plastic to remove the stuff and wipe down with some water or cleaning spray. The sliding button thing for removing the plates and the rest of that area was more annoying to clean but still fairly easy with a small brush. It was easy to remove the plates and put them back. I didn't get around to using the other plates since it stopped working. But I assume they would be much the same. The waffle maker did get hot and I did use oven gloves to operate it. I guess it probably could have been more hot. But I wouldn't want kids using it and I'd be a bit uncomfortable using it without gloves. Onto the main issue... It stopped working. Just randomly turned off at one point and never turned back on. I managed to make 3 waffles spread out over a few hours before it stopped working. Returns process was a bit problematic but that seemed to be an issue with the courier service rather than the supplier. It took a long time for me to get my refund but it did happen. I had originally tried to set up a replacement with the seller but that would have involved me setting up a return on a different site so I opted to just return it through Amazon instant. As always that was really simple and other than the delay it went well. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to get another one and see if that one works. It's a shame because this waffle maker really seemed like a great and somewhat unique option. I don't see many round waffle makers with removable plates. *Again I was able to get another one. But this one worked for even less time. Either I have horrible luck or these are just bad waffle makers. *

The VonShef 3 in 1 waffle maker, and let me tell you, it's a real treat. This nifty machine doesn't just make waffles – it also whips up delicious doughnuts and brownies, keeping the whole family happy. Plus, thanks to the non-stick coating on the removable plates, you can create these tasty treats with just a small amount of oil, and cleaning up is a breeze. One of the things I love about it is the compact design. The cord storage keeps your kitchen worktop tidy, and when you're done, you can easily tuck it away thanks to its small size. It's also super easy to use, with a cool touch handle and an indicator light to let you know when it's good to go. I bought this because I wanted a simple machine to make smaller batches of treats for myself, and it's been perfect for that. I haven't used anything similar, so I can't compare, but I can tell you that I really like the interchangeable plates – they're great for mixing things up. The only downside is that the manual doesn't have any recommended recipes, which would have been a nice touch. Overall, I'd recommend the VonShef 3 in 1 waffle maker to others. It's a versatile little machine that's perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings. Plus, with the VonShef promise of a minimum 2-year warranty, you can use it with confidence.

Excellent product, value for money

Wow, it's tiny. VERY tiny. I did expect something on the same scale as the Tefal Cake Factory. If that is your expectation also, you'll be disappointed. It's fine for kids I expect, or a play around with recipes if you're bored one day or you like waffles, lol. I don't have waffles much. If you bought it to make doughnuts, like me, be prepared for very tiny ones, like bite sized ones for grownups or fun sized ones for a kiddies party or rainy day fun. I've given 3 stars because of it's size, I can't comment yet on the baking as it's only just arrived, I just can't stress enough how small this appliance is and if, for you, will serve any practical use.

Arrived well packed and on time, great machine, so easy to use and makes really lovely waffles and doughnuts, not tried the brownies yet, but changing the plates are easy, cleaning the machine is also very easy. Fantastic value for money.

Absolutely love making waffles and doughnuts with the machine
