Bella Cucina 13467 Circus Waffle Maker

I got this a few years back. Never did a review. I loved it but the waffles it cooks are really small. I was looking for something that had bigger waffles. Overall, it still works, just gotta cook more.

It didn't work well. The waffle mix was too thin in the waffle iron and it was difficult to get out.

This waffle iron is a super cute idea but sadly, like many other online reviews I found, it doesn't heat evenly. The lion was charred on the tail end while the head was hardly cooked. I started pouring batter in the lion head and elephant rear, allowing it to cook for about 45 seconds, then adding batter to the rest of the grill. This worked ok but was labor intensive and still it was hard to get them cooked at all evenly. Additionally, none of my shapes ever came out without lots of overflow on the edges. If I poured carefully to fill the odd shapes, it took a long time and parts would be overcooked quickly or underfilled and didn't rise. I used recipes from their book as well as my own -- same results. I returned this iron (thanks Amazon for a super easy return!) and will go back to just using cookie cutters to make shapes.

Bought this as a gift for my mother, who is now a grandmother to 4 grandchildren. It looks as though the waffles will come out to be miniature waffles, but if you want to use it for kids, I think it would be great.

The good:It heats fast, makes animal shaped waffles.The not so good:The picture is a bit misleading. The waffles this machine makes are thinner than what the picture makes it appear.The bad:The heat is really uneven so when you make the waffles most of the elephant would be cooked just right, but his head will be dark brown.I wouldn't buy this for myself again

This waffle iron is adorable! What we thought was a seal is in fact a clown, but it IS circus, so that makes sense

Poor excuse for waffle iron.

Makes good waffles, works fine. We all like having waffles on Sunday evening. The kids like the format of the waffles.
