Have you seen the reviews? And it doesn't include the extra plates for waffles and paninis.

considering one of these... if it's rubbish would they give a 3yr warranty? Worth the risk at £15!

I bought one of these, and the first time I used it almost at the end of the first toasted sandwich it snapped crackled then popped and died took it back and got refund but they had none to replace it with. shame was looking forward to trying out other uses

I had one from LIDL, very similar to this, and it's brilliant. Can't find a a proper waffle recipe, the ones on bbc or allrecipies are not really waffles. If anyone can advise, please send me a message

little tip when making waffles ,if they are a bit soggy leave them to go cold then put them in a toaster ,crunchy and delicious

Made waffles on mine last night. Once I got to grips with the amount of batter required, the results were pretty good. I let it heat up for a while and gave the plates a spray with cooking oil, no problems at all. Took about 6-7 minutes per batch.

The only downside is that it's fiddly cleaning the lid hinges when you spill stuff on them.

Bought one along with Adli panning breads. did a good job. Worth a punt.

Bought one, not very impressed - don't think it gets hot enough

toasted cheese for lunch ,chicken breast on the panini plates for dinner n then honey waffles for sweet ,loving it !!! (give it 2 weeks though lol)j

anyone know If this can be brought in store?

I've been looking for another kitchen gadget to put in the back of my cupboard and forget about. heat added

Yes but can they be brought in store?

Could you cook Sausages or bacon on this ?

I've bought one of these yesterday but have not opened it yet. Can anyone who has used it please pay how it is please? I have seen 2 reviews so far but would be helpful to base my decision on a few more reviews if possible.

This can only be bought instore. It is not available to buy online.

do these have a floating hinge or something similar that allows it to cope with the thickness of paninis?
Don't want it push the filling and top of the panini to the front as your press down.

buy 2 value irons at£4.99 and tape them together with any fillings you want
and its dishwasher safe as irons have water in them!

Will look great in the back of my corner cupboard. Have some heat.

quite expensive for a budget toastie thingy

Make sure you keep your receipt - I got a similar one from Aldi a while ago. Used it straight away when we got home and it worked great. Didn't use it for about 4 weeks - got it out and it wouldn't turn on - by this point we had lost the receipt so no refund. Threw in bin.

About 12 minutes for mine, however I did need to turn them carefully and thus stopped the hot spots and burning. The toasted sandwich was ok, only ok though.

if someone cant get too an aldi this looks similar

Damn wish I'd seen this earlier got a cycling top to take back so will exchange for this

thanks op

Bought one today, made waffle mixture and started cooking, the heat is not distributed evenly across the plates resulting in over cooked parts of the waffle, overall I am not impressed with it, so based on the fact I actually went out and bought one I am afraid I have to give a cold vote.

No Aldi in NI.

If you have no aldi Robert Dynas do one ( Don't have it either but they do offer delivery) £16.99 plus delivery.

Heat added fog waffles!!

Why is everyone raving about this when the above links clearly state in the reviews that this is just cheap rubbish? (assuming it is the same item, but does look identical and has the interchangeable plates.) I was going to buy one but this has put me right off

had a toastie for lunch and have just made some waffles from pancake mix !!

Thanks OP - bought one :smiley:

I've never had any problems with Aldi electrical goods, but the 3 year warranty is reassuring. Remember to keep your receipt though!

I think Soney_Jedi was referring to the Amazon.com (US) reviews:

Chef Buddy 3 in 1 reviews

Looks like this product to me, loads of bad reviews but costs £75 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chef-Buddy-Sandwich-Panini-Waffle/dp/B005TLMC9C/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1384093223&sr=8-7&keywords=3+in+1+sandwich+maker

nice find just a shame that lidi dont have them too

I bought this earlier today. Heat added on account of it not blowing up :stuck_out_tongue:

the description is a bit thin.... can anyone give sizes for the hot plates please? (not the outside of the machine)... ta.

Would I be able to grill small fillets of chicken on this? Only ask it is says it's a grill.

Excellent deal........HOT

Anyone know if the removable plates are dishwasher safe? If so then this is a great deal as toastie makers are a real pain to clean, particular with my favorite baked bean, marmite and cheese toastie!!!


Yum!!

Heat just for the waffles!
