Sanalaiv Mini Waffle Maker: Create Delicious, Nonstick Chaffles and Small Waffles for Hash Browns and More!

Kate Ravenstein: This little item is wonderful. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Nothing, so far, has stuck on the grills. Much nicer than the old waffle maker I'd been using for years. This one is so versatile as it has 3 different type grills. Worth it!

Tony Nichols: Very satisfied! It’s small but mighty. Just made the best grilled cheese sandwich. Looking forward ro Cubans and waffles. Worth every cent.

Barbara E Deutsch: It's not easy these days to find a reasonably-priced non-stick waffle maker that avoids teflon and other toxic substances for the non-stick coating. This one delivers on both counts. Where it falls a little short, is that the waffles don't come out crispy, even when you leave them cooking extra long.

I've gotten around this by taking the waffle out of the waffle maker and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes on each side. This helps to crisp them up and now you have a great waffle!

Other than the crispy issue, my unit works well. I'm very happy with it. Just try to not overfill with too much batter as it may take awhile to get into all the crevices to clean around the hinge area.

I haven't tried it yet, but I recently watched a cooking show where they made falafel waffles. I plan to try this very soon. Sounds delicious, and I wonder, would that be considered a type of chaffle?

RAKRAK: I've only used this once so far, but very happy with it. Pretty good for the price point, but requires more than the manual's 3-5 mins of cook time.

The first thing I did was let it burn off any chemicals from manufacturing (standard practice for anything made for cooking) by letting it heat up for 10 minutes closed, 5 mins open, then letting it cool off (I checked it every 5 mins to make sure it was ok). After that, I removed the plates and ran them through the dishwasher.

The next morning I made waffles with the iron. What you see in the photo are whole wheat + gingerbread waffles (Christmas theme), so they look a little browner than normal waffles. I like my waffles a little more on the crisp/golden side, but not burnt. The manual says 3-6 mins, so I set a timer for 5 mins. At 5 mins, they looked a little underdone, so I closed the iron and did one more minute. I then took the waffles out, look them over and decided to do 7 mins for the next batch. At 7 mins, I'd say they were just right for me. Very crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and looked like a pro made them.

So, at about a 5 min initial heat up time, plus 7 mins, you're...

J. Campbell: I recently discovered chaffles after having been on the keto diet for about 2 months now. I already own a Belgian-style waffle maker and tried making chaffles on that and although it worked perfectly, it made a MASSIVE chaffle that was way too big to be eaten by even my wife and I in one sitting. We went in search of a waffle iron that made smaller waffles so we could either eat a "normal" size chaffle for a decadent breakfast or to make sandwiches out of the chaffles.

The absolute do-or-die feature that my wife said any waffle maker I ultimately buy must have is removable cooking plates for easy cleaning. This waffle iron was about the only one that met all the requirements. It makes perfect chaffles & waffles alike. When you're done any cleanup needed is so easy to clean up as the plates pop right off from the main unit. It's great! I can't more highly recommend this waffle/chaffle maker to you if this is what you're in search of.

I hope this review was helpful to you. Cheers!
