Rank #1 in Best Waffle Maker 2026: Eight Ranked, and the 900W That Is Really 800W
Breville DuraCeramic Deep-Fill Waffle Maker (VST072)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Breville DuraCeramic Waffle Maker (VST072) sits at number one in this guide. The listing shows £47.05, a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 1,929 customer ratings, and a best sellers rank of 2 in Waffle Makers & Irons. It is the only entry here whose specification field states 1000 watts and 240 volts, and the 240V figure is the one that matches UK mains — two other entries in this guide are listed at 120V and 110V.
The listing does not fully agree with itself. The final bullet gives dimensions of 22.8 x 21.4 x 8.4 cm at 1.23 kg, while the specification fields give 9.3 x 10.9 x 3.7 cm at the same 1.23 kg — two different sets of numbers for the same appliance. The field headed "Item Type Name" reads "Sandwich Toaster", even though the title and the best sellers category both call it a waffle maker. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; none of it comes from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“One the best purchases I have made. Made quite afew waffles since receiving this and it really does cook very well. Taste is down to the recipe so not the machine IMO. The parts that heat up to cook are coated in a grey DuraCeramic coating which looks very hardwearing and NOT like the black non-stick than peels away. Washing is quite easy and even stuck on blueberries came off easily! I'm happy with it only had it a couple of weeks so cant judge durability but it does look quite tough eventhough outside case is plastic.”
Verified purchase“Waited a while to review this. Great product, straightforward use. Not easy to find a good, branded, affordable waffle maker that has ceramic plates (at least for me). Perfect waffles each time!”
