Durabrand Waffle Maker - Cheap, but is it Worth It?
Loving the taste of waffles has been a lifelong thing, but being on a budget, it was next to impossible to satisfy my waffle cravings. With the cost of a box of waffles being over $3, and a family who loves them as much as I do- it would break the bank to continuously purchase boxes of waffles.
Looking online one day I found a recipe for homemade waffles. Intrigued by this idea, it started me on the quest for a waffle maker. Knowing I could make a batch of waffles, which is roughly 10-12 waffles, for approximately 25 cents, was all the motivation I needed.
I wandered into Wal-Mart and started my search. With a roll full of waffle makers, being priced upwards of $25, I picked up the lowly Durabrand Waffle Maker for a mere $10.
Skeptical as to the life of the Durabrand Waffle Maker, I figured I could afford to lose the $10 if it didn't hold up.
I rushed home to whip up a batch of mix, and promptly fired up my Durabrand Waffle Maker. I was a little unimpressed on the size of the waffles, but it was workable. They cooked incredibly quickly so it made up for the time it took making only two at the time.
Cooking waffles on the Durabrand Waffle Maker was so easy that I've enlisted my daughter to cook them for me. You do have to be careful of the surface, which will burn, but it's been an enjoyable experience for her and she loves to make them. They cook so quickly, that it takes virtually no time to cook up a bunch of waffles that you can freeze and use later on.
Since I love my Durabrand Waffle Maker so much, when the time comes that it goes on to greener pastures, I will definitely chip in another $10 and buy another Durabrand Waffle Maker. It's living a long life so far, and worth the less amount of upfront cost than the more expensive brands.

Post a CommentThe thing is a piece of junk and takes around 25 minutes to cook a waffle.
Just made my first batch of waffles on the Durabrand waffle maker from Walmart. I know it's tempting being a sub $10 waffle maker but save yourself the hassle of having to return it and don't buy it in the first place. The waffles burn in the middle and are raw on the edges. Obviously the heating doesn't spread evenly across the plates.
Picked up my Durabrand waffle maker at the thrift store for 4.98. It was brand new. Love it!!! Just the right size and no clean-up to speak of. Wipes off with a paper towel.
I bought a round durabrand waffle iron from target for $10 five or six years ago and I love it. Makes fluffy delicious waffles and I have never had a problem with it!!!

Waste of money!
My daughter got it for me for Cristmas because my waffle iron looks like crap, 22 years old.
It may look like crap but it works great!
This new one, burns in the middle but leaves the edges raw.
The heating element is just in the middle.
The top barely heats compared to the bottom.
Complete waste of money.
this waffle maker is crap i got it as a christmas present and the waffles dont get hard the dont cook evenly . I throught it away
This product is crap. Bought it yesterday at Walmart (China's best friend) and it exploded when the waffles expanded. Luckily I wasn't standing near it. I'm returning it and buying the Presto Waffle maker. Hopefully it's not made in China! Time for Walmart to use American made products and stop looking for the fast buck!
the durabrand waffle maker sucks!! my family and i don't know how much pancake mix to put in and it is never cooked the way we want it
The Durabrand waffle maker makes awful waffles. The heat does not distribute well over the plates and the lower plate heats up a lot more than the upper one. I end up having to turn the waffles in order to get something edible and even so, they're so thin and cheap-tasting. You get what you pay for, and I for one am throwing this piece of garbage out and buying a real waffle maker. So, imho, it's totally not worth it.
