Rank #6 in Best Waffle Maker 2026: Eight Ranked, and the 900W That Is Really 800W
Quest 35940 Four Slice Deep Fill Waffle Maker
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Quest 35940 is a four-slice deep fill waffle maker at £26.99, rated 4.2 out of 5 from 1,114 ratings and sitting at number six in this guide. It has four separate moulds, non-stick plates, a cool touch handle, non-slip rubber feet and a temperature dial, and the listing gives its voltage as 240 Volts.
The finding on this one is the reverse of the Salter higher up the guide. Quest states 1100W in the product title, repeats 1100W in the bullet points and repeats it once more in the specification table, so the headline power figure survives the cross-check — the mismatch sits elsewhere. The bullet points sell an adjustable temperature gauge for waffles "exactly to your liking", while the spec table records the Number of settings as 1. A dial with one setting is not a dial most people would describe as adjustable, and the listing never squares the two. Buyers reading the reviews are already arguing about that dial: one reviewer tells people to learn how to use it before reviewing it, and names the temperature control as the cause of bad reviews. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Fantastic waffle maker for the price. Much easier than making pancakes. Preheats in about 3 minutes and cooks in about 5, depending on the recipe. Cooks evenly enough and you can always flip them and put them back in for a moment once done to brown up any paler-looking corners.Some tips:- always grease the plates before each waffle (spray oil/frylight or use a silicone spatula). Yes it's non-stick but it's not magic.-don't try to open it before it's ready. Wait until the steam is mostly stopped. Then use a silicone spatula to help them out if necessary.-Don't overfill.Enjoy!”
Verified purchase“Learn how to use it before returning or reviewing.Excellent size and quality for price it has a temperature control so some people leaving bad reviews because of lack of understanding how to use it .I set it just over quarter on the dial because my battery mix is made with oat milk that burns easier than a normal flour egg milk mix .I soon got the settings correct and it works perfectly no sticking if you cook correctly not too high 👌🏻”

Questions people ask
Does the Quest 35940 really use 1100W?
Yes, as far as the listing goes. 1100W appears in the product title, in the bullet points and in the specification table, so all three places agree with each other.
How many heat settings does the Quest 35940 have?
The bullet points describe an adjustable temperature gauge, but the specification table lists Number of settings as 1. The listing does not reconcile those two entries.
How many waffles can it cook at once?
Four. The Quest 35940 has four separate moulds, and the listing says you place pre-prepared batter into them and close the lid to start cooking.
Is the Quest 35940 suited to a British kitchen?
The specification table gives the voltage as 240 Volts, which is the standard figure for UK sockets. It is not one of the two machines in this guide listed at 120V or 110V.
How do you clean it?
The listing says to let the non-stick plates cool down, then wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
What are its ratings and rankings?
4.2 out of 5 from 1,114 ratings, and 30th in Waffle Makers & Irons in the Home & Kitchen best sellers rank.
