I would love to give this produce negative five stars. For 26 years, I've been using the Salton Pizzelle maker that does only two at a time. It's time consuming as it can take up to 3 hours to make one full batch. I saw this new 4 non-stick Pizzelle and wanted to try it to see it would help reduce the time. This machine is a total waste of money. The heating for all four plates is completely off as they don't fully cook, three pizzelles comes our raw and one will come out dark. Also, the time to make 4 pizzelles is triple the time of when I make only two with the Salton. And even waiting triple the time, it's still not fully cooked. I'm returning this pizzelle maker and this evening I went back to my Salton Pizzelle Maker that takes only 90 seconds to make two at a time, but it takes three hours, but I least I know it does the job. Hopefully one day someone with brains and common sense will make a solid product that actually works.

Great Pizzelle Maker. It heats up fast. Cleans up great, and cools down fast . You need a cookie scoop for exact amounts. As you want your pizzelles thin and crispy. I recommend this machine.

Have fun. With many favors and tinting the mixture in red, green , or what ever food color.

Not worth it! I’ve used it so I can’t return it. What a mess! I’ve been making Pizzelle for years on a cuisinart maker and before that, on a very old maker that was left to me by mother in law. I ordered this one because it makes 4 at a time. The batter sticks no mattter what you oil it with. The batter gets into the crevices of the machine. And the Pizzelle cook unevenly. Some spots are dark some are light. I just threw away 40$.
I’m usually a very kind easy going person, but I thought this review would help someone else before buying it. The pictures are the condition of it after using it once. I also posted a picture of side by side with my cuisinart so you can see the difference in how clean the cuisinart stays.

This is the worst pizelle maker I have ever owned. Burned everything and didn’t distribute heat evenly. Batches were cooked with a burned black circle that went thru all 4 cookies. Was hard to clean the batter stuck to it. I would not purchase this if you are looking for one. Definitely put in for a return. Would not let me put in a 1 star giving it 2 stars is a huge exaggeration

This pizzelle maker is perfect for quick, delicious treats. The non-stick surface makes the cookies easy to remove and cleanup effortless. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and the 4 mini pizzelles come out beautifully crisp every time. Great for holidays, parties, or just a fun dessert at home. Compact, easy to use, and a great value!

It works ok

Purchased this item after checking online reviews for my girlfriend wanted a large Pizzelle maker. This unit has good reviews for even heat and build quality.

I was so excited to buy this pizzelle maker because it makes 4 at a time, but I was so incredibly dissapointed with it! The heat does not distribute evenly so some come out burbt while others are partially raw. Then several of them stick to the machine, which causes them to break and it makes a mess on the machine. Sadly, I can't return it now that I've used it and I really wish I had just spent a little extra money to buy a better maker.
