I always remembered the taste of the waffles that we used to have back in Poland; when me and my sister were little. I tried so many waffles since coming to Melbourne. Whatever I bought surly looked amazing but the taste was nothing like I remembered. I always was left with that weird feeling of disappointment. I bought couple of the cheep waffle makers, but nothing worked. One day inspired by My Kitchen Rules I decided I will invest in this machine. Bit pricey, but I wanted to try last time to go back to my childhood memories of big waffle wit...Read more

From the long list of 'do we really need it..?' comes the Breville Smart Waffle Pro. We had a waffle iron - a very old Breville actually. It had a distinguished career, making us delicious toasty waffles when needed over the last 18 odd years I think. Like any good retiree however, the later years were mostly spent in a quiet corner of the kitchen cupboard, cozied up with other kitchen equipment, rather than out on the bench making waffles. Due to the lack of use, I was therefore quite hesitant in buying a new waffle maker. A lot of positive r...Read more

I purchased the BWM640 Smart Waffle maker after researching what was available on the market and watching Breville's informative YouTube videos about the design and features of the unit. Very happy with the quality, ease of cleaning and performance of this machine. The waffles turn out great and there is a wonderful selection of recipes.

Following purchase, I became concerned that my individual unit was faulty - it worked fine except the "audible alert" that chimes to let you know when it has reached temperature (and also when the waffles a...Read more

This machine is costly and that is the only negative against this machine. Luckily Myer had it on sale when I was looking to purchase one. I have had this waffle maker for 4 weeks now and made lots of different waffles. The recipes that came with the machine produce a perfect waffle but I have experimented with other recipes and have made others such as Apple and cinnamon and even savoury ones using leftover roast meat or corned beef and they have turned out perfect. Even those with cheese have not stuck and each time it has been a breeze t...Read more

I used to travel a lot with work and stayed at some very nice hotels, where I'd often have the breakfast bar chef make me waffles for brekkie. So, just establishing I know a good waffle when I eat one.

The Breville BWM620 makes waffles as good as I've ever eaten, anywhere. Simply; and time after time. I've yet to make a dud. The classic waffles it makes are nice; the Belgian waffles are excellent; and the Breville's buttermilk waffles are superb. Light and soft on the inside and golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.

It is e...Read more

After some research, I decided on this waffle maker because of all its great reviews, and I forked out the high price to purchase it. It does have some nice features - it is easy to clean, does four at a time, and the waffles are crispy on the outside. But inside they are doughy. I can only describe them as awful. Despite having two dials - one for batter type and one for preferred darkness - the heat/thermostat setting is fixed and cannot be varied. The computer uses both dials just to calculate how long to cook them.

I have had cheap waffle making machines in the past and they have worked for a while until they needed to be replaced. I purchased a more expensive waffle maker recently and threw it out in disgust as all waffles had to be removed in fragments and the clean up of the machine was horrendous. Naturally i was sceptical about making another waffle maker purchase. However, a friend of mine has this machine and she's very happy with it. I did further research and found all reviews of this machine to be positive so I took the plunge and purchased ...Read more

I purchased this machine after some research first and this one had very good reviews. I will add to these complementary reviews as I am very impressed by this quality machine. It is definitely built to last. Very heavy and professionally built. Four waffles at a time is great for our family of 5 to 6 on weekends. One batch of batter will make 8 - 9 waffles and they are scrumptious! These were devoured with many a 'yum' to follow. This machine has the option of controlling many parts of the cooking process, especially the darkness of the waffle...Read more

After being diagnosed with gluten intolerance due to a thyroid disease, I noticed that gluten free waffles were almost next to impossible to buy at the supermarket/bakeries, etc. I am waffle fiend and love nothing more than waffles for breakfast, dessert or even chicken & waffles for dinner. I decided if I want gluten free waffles I would have to make my own and purchased this little beauty. I would of given it 5 stars if not for the high price, but I don't regret purchasing it. It makes the most fluffy, thick and crispy waffles (gluten free an...Read more

This was a real 'indulgence' purchase that I was worried wouldn't get enough use to justify the price ($205 on sale), but even with just Sunday brunch use, I think it's a good investment. I have the BWM640 which makes 4 waffles at once and it really is easy to use and more importantly, very easy to clean afterwards. The waffles are delicious and very substantial, one with ice cream is surprisingly filling. I've had no problems with the recipes from the pdf on the Breville website.

It's worth noting that it can't be stored on it's side, so yo...Read more
