# Best Waffle Maker 2026: Eight Ranked, and the 900W That Is Really 800W Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers Published: 2026-09-19 | Updated: 2026-09-19 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-19 The best waffle maker listings on Amazon do not always agree with themselves. The Salter double model states 900W in its title and 900W again in its bullets, then lists 800W in the specification field — a 100W gap inside one advert. Two of the eight machines here also sit outside the standard British supply: the Nostalgia MyMini is listed at 120V and the NETTA at 110V, while the other six say 230V or 240V. Worth noting before you buy a plug-in appliance on a specification you cannot check yourself. We ranked eight of the best waffle makers on Amazon on three honest criteria: the rating score and its breakdown of one-star votes, whether the wattage, voltage and dimensions inside each listing actually match each other, and how the machine fits a normal kitchen. Price settles ties. ## The ranking ### 1. Breville DuraCeramic Deep-Fill Waffle Maker (VST072) - Price: £47.05 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 1,929 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/breville-duraceramic-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07233JLG2?tag=ranked10-21 Ranks first on 4.6 from 1,929 ratings, second place in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category, and a 1,000W / 240V listing that agrees with itself on power — the best waffle maker here on score, though the most expensive at £47.05. It takes the top spot on the numbers: 4.6 out of 5 from 1,929 ratings, with 79 of the 100 in the rating breakdown at five stars and four at one. The wattage and voltage fields agree — 1,000W, 240V — and Amazon's own category rank puts it second in Waffle Makers & Irons. However, the listing is not tidy. The specification field calls it a 'Sandwich Toaster', and while the bullets give 22.8 x 21.4 x 8.4 cm, the dimensions field prints 9.3 x 10.9 x 3.7 cm. One of those two is wrong. The plates are ceramic-coated rather than plain non-stick, and they lift out for cleaning, which is unusual at this size. In practice, the rise clip lets the batter push the top plate up as it expands, and the body stands upright at 1.23kg, so it takes roughly the footprint of a toaster at the back of a cupboard. The cool-touch handle and non-slip feet are the small things that matter when you are pouring batter one-handed. That said, £47.05 is the highest price in this group, roughly double the £24.99 cluster, and you pay it for one fixed plate set — no alternative waffle shapes. If you want the best waffle maker on score alone and will use it weekly, it earns the money. If you make waffles twice a year, a £24.99 machine does the same job. Pros: 4.6 out of 5 from 1,929 ratings — the highest score in this group; 1,000W and 240V stated consistently, so no voltage surprise; Removable DuraCeramic plates, so the cooking surface can be washed rather than wiped; Stands upright for storage and weighs 1.23kg; Second in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category Cons: £47.05 — the most expensive of the eight, £22.06 more than the cheapest; The specification field lists it as a 'Sandwich Toaster'; Bullets say 22.8 x 21.4 x 8.4 cm; the dimensions field says 9.3 x 10.9 x 3.7 cm; One plate shape only, with no interchangeable moulds ### 2. BELLA Classic Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker, 1000W - Price: £37.47 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 12,690 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/bella-rotating-belgian-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D1GRYG1N?tag=ranked10-21 Second on 4.5 from 12,690 ratings — the largest sample here — with a head that flips the batter and a dishwasher-safe drip tray; it sits below the Breville only on score. The review base is the biggest of the eight: 12,690 ratings at 4.5, with 74% of the breakdown at five stars against 5% at one. It is a 1,000W machine on a 230V listing, so the power figures are consistent. Meanwhile, the listing contradicts itself on settings: the bullets promise nine browning control settings, and the specification field says one. The head rotates through 180 degrees, turning the batter over mid-cook so gravity spreads it into the deeper pockets of a belgian waffle maker. A removable drip tray catches the overflow and can go in the dishwasher; the plates lock shut and the handle folds for storage. At 1.68kg it is light enough to move, but it takes 38.4cm of worktop width. Even so, the rotating mechanism is one more thing to fail, and the listed dimensions — 24.1 x 38.4 x 17.7 cm — make it the widest appliance here. If your cupboard is tight, the Breville's upright stance is easier. And if you only want thin American-style waffles, you are paying for a flip you will never use. Pros: 12,690 ratings at 4.5 — the largest review base of the eight; 74% of the rating breakdown is five stars, 5% is one star; 1,000W on a 230V listing, consistent between bullets and specifications; Removable drip tray is dishwasher safe; Nine browning settings claimed in the bullets Cons: Bullets say nine browning settings; the specification field says one; 24.1 x 38.4 x 17.7 cm — the widest footprint in this group; The rotating head adds a mechanism a fixed-lid machine does not have; One bullet mentions '3 different non-stick coatings' while the specifications list a single non-stick coating ### 3. Global Gourmet Full-Size American Waffle Maker, 700W - Price: £24.99 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 6,845 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/global-gourmet-american-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075V5GBJN?tag=ranked10-21 Third on 4.4 from 6,845 ratings, 700W at 230V and third in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category — a full-size round waffle iron for £24.99, with the lowest power of the large machines. A 4.4 score from 6,845 ratings, 700W on a 230V supply, and third place in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category. It is not the best waffle maker here on power, and at £24.99 it sits level with the Salter and the NETTA, £22.06 below the Breville. By contrast, the 1,000W Breville and BELLA and the 1,100W Quest all heat up faster. The plates are deep, which is the point: batter rises into a thicker American-style waffle with a defined shape rather than a thin flat one. As a non stick waffle maker it stays straightforward — coated plates, a dial with two temperature settings, and an indicator light that shows when the waffle iron is ready. As a result, the cord wraps underneath and the round body drops into a cupboard without a fight. It weighs 1.6kg. The catch is cleaning. The plates are coated, not removable, so you wipe them rather than wash them. At 700W it also takes longer to reach temperature than the 1,000W models. The part number reads GG09 while the model number field says 'GGSnackmaker', which is a listing inconsistency rather than a cooking one. If you want a flipping head and a dishwasher-safe tray, this is not that machine. Pros: 4.4 out of 5 from 6,845 ratings; 700W on a 230V listing, with the figures matching across the advert; Deep round plates for thick American-style waffles, not thin ones; Cord wrap and a round body for compact storage, at 1.6kg; Third in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category Cons: 700W — the lowest power of the full-size machines here; Coated plates that cannot be removed for washing; Part number says GG09, model number says 'GGSnackmaker'; Only two temperature settings, no browning scale ### 4. Nostalgia MyMini Personal Electric Waffle Maker - Price: £23.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 14,633 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/nostalgia-mymini-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WNXSB3D?tag=ranked10-21 Fourth on 4.5 from 14,633 ratings — the second-largest sample here — but the specification field lists 120V, which is not the 230V the rest of this group uses. The score is strong: 4.5 from 14,633 ratings, with 73% of the breakdown at five stars. The size is the selling point — each cooking surface is 5 inches across, and the whole mini waffle maker weighs 567g. However, the specification field says 120V. Six of the eight machines here list 230V or 240V; this one and the NETTA do not. That is a 550W appliance on a voltage most British kitchens do not supply, and nothing in the listing explains it. In practice it is a small dual-sided press: plug it in, wait one to three minutes for the indicator light to go off, then cook. Quesadillas, hash browns, brownies and grilled cheese are all on the bullet list, so it is not only a waffle iron. The non-stick surface wipes clean, and the cool-touch handles matter because the plates sit 5 inches from your fingers. The catch is the voltage question, and it is not a small one. Whoever buys this should be able to answer it before paying £23.99, not after. It is also a single-waffle machine — useful for one person in a flat, awkward for four people at breakfast. If you want capacity, look at the four-slice models instead. Pros: 4.5 out of 5 from 14,633 ratings — the second-largest sample here; 567g and small enough for a flat, an office or a campervan; Two 5-inch cooking surfaces, so it doubles as a press for quesadillas and hash browns; Non-stick surface that wipes clean, plus cool-touch handles; The lowest price of the four highest-scoring machines, at £23.99 Cons: The specification field lists 120V, not the 230V or 240V the other six machines use; 550W and one waffle at a time — no use for a large household; No removable plates and no drip tray; The voltage field is unexplained anywhere in the listing ### 5. Salter Double Deep Fill Waffle Maker, 900W - Price: £24.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 2,570 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/salter-double-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LWNCXEJ?tag=ranked10-21 The clearest example of the problem in this list: the title and bullets say 900W, while the specification field says 800W — a 100W gap in one advert, on a 4.2 score from 2,570 ratings. Salter sells this on two things: cooking two waffles at once, and 900W. The 900W figure appears in the title and again in the bullets. Then the specification field lists wattage as 800. One of those numbers is wrong, and nothing in the listing says which. It is still the best waffle maker here for a two-at-a-time job at £24.99 — just buy it knowing the power claim is not consistent. Mechanically it is simple. Dual non-stick plates, automatic temperature control rather than a dial, a lid you close, and a 0.8m cable — short enough that you need a socket near the worktop. It makes American or Belgian style according to the bullet, and it weighs 1.9kg. There is no indicator light mentioned and no removable plate, so cleaning is a wipe once it cools. That said, 4.2 from 2,570 ratings is the joint-lowest score in this group, and 10 of the 100 votes in the breakdown are one star. If you want the reliability of the Breville's 4.6, this is not it. It suits someone who wants two waffles quickly for under £25 and accepts a plain, fixed-plate design. Pros: Cooks two waffles at once — the cheapest two-at-a-time machine here; Non-stick plates on both sides, so little to no oil is needed; Automatic temperature control instead of a dial to guess at; 3-year manufacturer warranty stated, the longest in this group; £24.99, £22.06 below the top-ranked machine Cons: Title and bullets say 900W; the specification field says 800W; 4.2 from 2,570 ratings — joint-lowest score here, with 10 of 100 votes at one star; 0.8m cable, so it must live near a socket; No removable plates and no indicator light listed ### 6. Quest 35940 Four Slice Deep Fill Waffle Maker - Price: £26.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 1,114 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/quest-35940-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FR48LW2?tag=ranked10-21 The only four-slice machine here: 1,100W, 240V and a 4.2 score from 1,114 ratings, ranked 30th in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons — capacity, not score, is why it is here. Four moulds and 1,100W for £26.99 — a waffle maker for family batches rather than solo breakfasts. The score is 4.2 from 1,114 ratings, and Amazon's category rank puts it 30th, well below the top three. Crucially, the wattage (1,100W) and voltage (240V) fields agree with the bullets, which is more than can be said for two machines on this page. At 2.3kg it is the heaviest here. The four separate moulds mean you pour a batch once and close the lid. The plates are a non stick waffle maker's plates in the plainest sense: coated, non-removable, wiped clean with a damp cloth after they cool. A temperature gauge adjusts to taste, and power and ready lights sit on top of the body. Non-slip rubber feet hold it down at 2.3kg while you open and close the lid. The catch is the rank. 30th in the category is a long way from second, and 1,114 ratings is a much thinner base than the 12,690 behind the BELLA. It also takes 2.3kg of cupboard space for a machine that, for two people, makes two waffles too many. Buy it if you cook for four at once, not for a couple. Pros: Four separate moulds — the only four-slice machine in this group; 1,100W, the highest wattage here, on a 240V listing that matches its bullets; Adjustable temperature gauge plus power and ready indicator lights; Non-slip rubber feet and a cool-touch handle on a 2.3kg body; £26.99 for four waffles at once Cons: Ranked 30th in Amazon's Waffle Makers & Irons category; 1,114 ratings at 4.2 — one of the two lowest scores here; 2.3kg and the heaviest machine in the group; Non-stick plates cannot be removed for washing ### 7. Global Gizmos Heart-Shaped Mini Waffle Maker, 1000W - Price: £19.99 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 1,403 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/global-gizmos-heart-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A1RLUG0?tag=ranked10-21 Seventh on a 4.3 score shared with the NETTA, from 1,403 ratings — the lowest price here at £19.99, and the only machine cooking five small heart-shaped waffles at once. At £19.99 this is the cheapest machine in the group, and it still lists 1,000W on a 240V supply, matching the Breville and BELLA on power. The score is 4.3 from 1,403 ratings, with 67% of the breakdown at five stars and 8% at one. Worth noting: the bullets say the body is 25cm by 22cm, while the specification dimensions say 28 x 24 x 15cm. A small discrepancy, the same machine. It cooks up to five mini heart-shaped waffles at a time, which is a different job from one large round waffle. The plates are non-stick, the thermostat controls the heat, and the cool-touch handle is there because the 1.53kg body gets warm. At 28cm deep it is not the smallest thing on the worktop, despite the 'mini' label. Even so, heart-shaped waffles are a specific taste. If you want a deep fill waffle maker for a family breakfast, five small hearts will not fill four plates as quickly as the Quest's four moulds. The shape also makes them harder to serve with a knife and fork. Buy it for the children and the novelty, not for volume. Pros: £19.99 — the lowest price of the eight; 1,000W on a 240V supply, matching the two highest-scoring machines on power; Cooks up to five heart-shaped waffles at once; Thermostatic control, cool-touch handle and anti-skid feet; 4.3 from 1,403 ratings, with 67% of the breakdown at five stars Cons: Bullets say 25 x 22cm; the dimensions field says 28 x 24 x 15cm; Five small heart shapes rather than one large round waffle; No removable plates — wipe clean only; Novelty shape is harder to serve and to stack ### 8. NETTA Round Deep Fill Waffle Maker, 700W - Price: £24.99 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 3,695 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-waffle-makers/netta-round-waffle-maker - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MK3Q8GG?tag=ranked10-21 Last on the list for one reason: the specification field says 110V, while the other machines here, the Nostalgia aside, say 230V or 240V. The 4.3 score from 3,695 ratings is not the problem. A 4.3 score from 3,695 ratings, 700W, deep non-stick plates and a 365-day warranty. The numbers inside the bullets agree with each other: 22.8 x 29.1 x 13.9cm and 1.7kg. However, the voltage field reads 110. That is the same problem as the Nostalgia, and it drops this machine to the bottom of a list written for British kitchens. In theory the rest of the design is sensible: a dial for temperature, a light that comes on when the plates are ready, and a base that doubles as a cable tidy. The deep non-stick coating is meant to lift waffles cleanly, and at 1.68kg it is one of the lighter machines here. The 365-day warranty is stated plainly in the bullets. If you can confirm the voltage before buying, the machine itself is fine: a 700W round waffle iron with adjustable temperature, a ready-to-cook light, a cable tidy and a year of cover, taking around five minutes per batch. If you cannot confirm it, the best waffle maker for you is somewhere else on this list — a listing that contradicts itself on voltage is not one to buy on trust. Pros: 4.3 out of 5 from 3,695 ratings; Adjustable temperature control with a 'ready to cook' indicator light; Deep non-stick coated plates and a base that doubles as a cable tidy; 1.68kg and compact at 22.8 x 29.1 x 13.9cm; 365-day warranty stated in the bullets Cons: The specification field lists 110V, not the 230V or 240V the other six machines use; 700W — slower to heat than the 1,000W and 1,100W models; Non-stick plates are not removable; One temperature dial and no browning scale to follow ## Verdict For most homes, the Breville at £47.05 is the safest pick: 1,929 ratings at 4.6, 79 of the 100 in its rating breakdown at five stars, and a 240V listing that does not contradict itself. If you need volume, the Quest's four moulds and 1,100W handle a family batch for £26.99, while the BELLA's 12,690 ratings and rotating head suit anyone making Belgian waffles every week. Either way, this is not a category where the best waffle maker is the most expensive one — the three £24.99 machines here score between 4.2 and 4.4, and the cheapest of all, at £19.99, scores 4.3. At the same time, check the voltage field before you pay: if a listing says 120V or 110V, it is not the 230V appliance the rest of this group is. In short, the best waffle maker is the one whose own numbers agree.
