Sanford 5-Piece Heart-Shaped Waffle Maker with Non-Stick Plates and Thermostat - SF5787WM

Five heart-shaped waffles in one go — which is a whole family's breakfast in a single cycle rather than standing at the counter making them one at a time. The Sanford SF5787WM runs at 800–1000W with thermostatic temperature control, and that thermostat is the difference between waffles and disappointment: it holds the plates at the right heat so batch five comes out the same colour as batch one, instead of the plates cooling off and giving you pale, floppy waffles halfway through. The non-stick plates release cleanly and wipe out with a cloth, so the washing-up is not a punishment for making breakfast. Heart shapes make it an easy win for birthdays, Valentine's, school-holiday mornings and anyone with children — and it turns a very ordinary batter into something worth photographing.

Specifications

Buying guide

Waffle makers are judged on two things: whether the plates hold heat between batches and whether the waffles come off cleanly. Thermostatic control handles the first — without it, plates lose temperature with every batch and the later waffles steam rather than crisp. Non-stick handles the second, and it is what makes the difference between a five-minute wipe and a scrubbing job. On capacity, five smaller waffles per cycle suits families and children better than one large Belgian waffle, since everyone gets served at once. Practical notes that genuinely improve results: let it preheat fully before the first batch, brush the plates very lightly with oil for the first waffle even though they are non-stick, do not overfill or batter escapes down the sides, and resist opening it early — a waffle needs to set before it will release. Wipe the plates while still warm with a damp cloth, never with an abrasive pad, and never immerse the unit.

How it compares

Against a single large Belgian waffle maker, this serves five at once, which suits a family better, though it does not produce deep-pocket Belgian waffles. Compared with the 3-in-1 multi toaster with detachable plates, that switches between sandwiches, grills and waffles for more versatility, while this is a dedicated waffle maker that does one job well. Against making pancakes in a pan, waffles cook hands-off on both sides at once. Against a stovetop waffle iron, the thermostat here removes the guesswork entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my later waffles come out paler?
That is plate temperature dropping between batches — this model's thermostatic control is designed to prevent it. Also let it fully reheat between batches rather than pouring straight in.

Do I still need to oil non-stick plates?
A very light brush before the first waffle helps release and improves the crust. After that the plates should manage on their own.

How do I clean it?
Wipe the plates with a damp cloth while still warm, never with an abrasive pad, and never immerse the appliance in water.
