Graef waffle maker WA 80, satin stainless steel (houseware)

Customer Review

Construction and finish
The waffle maker Graef WA80EU looks classy, ​​makes both the material as well as in the processing at first an excellent impression and herein differs very clearly from my two predecessors from the cheap discounters. He is certainly right angles and thus can be stored space-saving. Here, the cable can be fixed by means of an attached on the bottom clips on the device. Lt. Manufacturer is the waffle iron alongside their domestic use and for demanding applications such as in B & Bs.

Operation
The waffle iron is clear and stable on the work surface. I put a plug, the indicator will light up red and after a short time both reports with an acoustic signal, as well as jumping of the indicator light to blue, that the device is ready for use. The acoustic indication of the rings even if my waffles are finished baking, I find awesome because I can do parallel to waffle bake other things, without having to constantly keep an eye on the waffle iron.
The waffle maker can bake on 6 different levels and can be operated intuitively. The first test I conducted with an original recipe by the manufacturer, but with wholemeal spelled flour and raw cane sugar instead of commercial flour and sugar. Grease the device, and stout depressing the handle are unnecessary because the weight of the upper part presses the liquid dough in all corners. (For firmer doughs low pressure when closing the device for uniform Teigverteilung enough.) The eagerly awaited moment of the removal of waffle designed completely unspectacular - evenly baked wafer dissolves easily in and out without any residues from the waffle iron - just great , Meanwhile, I have tried different recipes and even dared me to potato waffles, which have so far always gives me great problems - in Graef-WA80 they can be baked properly and take - and all without prior greasing the baking surfaces.

Cleaning
The instructions in this regard is a bit poor and is limited to the evidence that the instrument during cleaning should be cold and the casing is wet wipe. Although I made with raw potatoes Teigrückstände had the waffle makers only after baking potato waffles, I always cleanse after cooling the baking surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

Energy consumption
As nominal power is 850 W to the manufacturer. Thus the Graef WA80EU has low performance compared to other manufacturers. Still, I could not detect any longer baking times, compared to my old equipment and had baked all my waffles maximum at level 3 even and crunchy, which shows me that the waffle maker has a good energy efficiency.

Customer service
The disillusionment came in the fifth use, a week after I had received the device. I found that the non-stick coating peels off at one point. The instructions I have read thoroughly before operating and closing an operation error. As this product is provided as a test product on Amazon available, there is no guarantee. The customer service of Gebr. Graef GmbH & Co. KG was on the phone politely, but did not consider itself responsible and does not help me what I published in my original review. But apparently I had the morning gets customer service on Mondays on the wrong foot. A few days after my review was set here, studied the Fa. Graef contact with me and apologized formally for the inconvenience. You promised me the delivery of a new waffle iron, I got a few days later. This I call now to be very customer-oriented behavior.

Other
Based on my experience with my first waffle makers and the observation that the machines are shipped with a protective between the jaw surfaces, I now stocked it with a clean tea towel between the jaw surfaces. I think that just for vertical storage, the baking surfaces are protected in this way and keeps the non-stick coating for longer.

Conclusion
The Graef WA80EU is a good device, with the waffles bake really fun. However, the cost pays off only when I use it often and many waffles bake. A defect may still occur once, and unless it is resolved in a timely and customer-oriented, I do not want to overstate it. My second Waffelautomat was now commonly in use, without any defects have occurred. I hope that my experience with the first unit were as unique as my first contact with the customer service, I forgive subsequently 5 stars because I am simply thrilled with the waffle makers themselves.
