Customer Reviews
Honestly was really excited for this, ended up hating it after 3 uses. The iron oddly doesn’t get hot enough inside to cook the waffle to crisp, but gets so hot on the outside it just smokes you out. Cleaning it is an absolute pain which I expected, not really the company’s fault, more of just the design of a waffle iron.
Weight was good, it felt sturdy. Didn’t like how easily the two pieces come apart, makes it hard to check on the waffle.
REALLY hated the wax they cover the iron with, it took way too long to get off.
The thing also rusts in what felt like less than 10 minutes. Even after oiling it immediately after cleaning it rusted. The inside was rusting as I was removing the wax. Just really confusing why the company wouldn’t just season the pan and call it a day. Thats what lodge does and I’ve never had a complaint. Also the waffle recipe they gave as part of the instructions was so weird, I don’t really see anyone making it out at a campsite.
I really was looking forward to this too, I couldn’t find any other waffle iron that makes thin crispy waffles.

...Your waffle iron is awesome...Cast iron is the way...I finally read the brochure though...Got to the very end only to discover this item is from f'cking chyna...I know you never stated 'Made in USA', but was very disappointed...Many 'US' companies sell just chyna shlt...WTF...
Had this a few years and still enjoying it and glad not to be exposing ourselves to any nasty non-stick coating like plug-in waffle makers. We put it on the outside grill to get the waxy protective coating it arrives with off. Once that was dealt with it’s been smooth sailing with this. We use it on our electric range coils (3.5 minutes each side at a little past 3 heat) but will upgrade to an induction range so will be curious if it still works on that.
Too small, handle too short not sturdy, hard to clean. Design is poor.
Casting was rough and had several sharp edges. I had to grind them down before using.
