Irons Reviews

The problem with this is that (as it appears to me) VillaWare has tried to cut corners by re-using all but the plates as it has on it's Panini Grill (which for the record is an excellent product - which I have given rave reviews). Check out the Panini Grill - unless you had these products in front of you & were able to open them up, you'd never be able to tell the difference between them. I would say, don't write off VillaWare products just because of one poor one, as I said I also own the Panini Grill & LOVE IT!!!!!!!! However, don't waste your money on this one - I hope VillaWare does right by their respected name & pulls this off the market completely.

One thing I will say, the "audible warning sound" that was mentioned in a previous review is actually a click - the same as the Panini Grill, but listen carefully or you'll miss it.

Come back here and write a review as soon as you get over feeling foolish for not having listened to these reviews.

I too bought this based on the good reviews. Now I see the bad reviews popping up. Too late for me but not for you! Don't buy this. Although it does seem very nice when you first unpack it, it does not perform anywhere near it's price expectation. I have returned it after several frustrating sessions of angry kids and wasted batter.

My experience has been much the same as the last 2 reviewers. But I want to add one thing. The cord on this unit seems thin and cheap. That is an indicator of poor power management right there as something that would need the power this hulk needs to be and stay hot would have a more substantial cord.

I echo the other negative reviews, do not buy this, you will be sorry.

Perfect Pizzelles! This is a great pizzelle maker and you can't beat the price. It heats quickly and evenly, the nonstick surface is easy to clean and you can store it upright to save space. It also has several settings so you can make them lighter or darker. The nonstick surface is great, all you really need is a quick wipe with a wet paper towel, I am a maniac about cleaning so I also like to use a toothbrush to clean all the nooks and crannies in the press. Although it doesn't have an indicator tone, you can hear a soft click when the light is turning from green to red so you can multi task. The instruction book comes with several traditional recipes that you can mix up in minutes. Perfect for holidays or anytime you want a quick treat. Anise, vanilla and almond are my favorites, I have not tried it yet but I was thinking of making a batch with banana extract, I imagine you could pretty much use any extract. Highly recommended!

I am 72 years old and have been making pizzelles for a lot of years with different manufactures. This is the best iron I have owned. Two of my sisters want to purchase this iron also. It is so easy with the ready and done lights. The non-stick surface is really good. It is so petite. I can't find words to describe it.

I bought T-fal's top of the line Avantis iron even though I only have light ironing to do. It broke in less than a year - losing heat completely. T-fal would not stand behind it. I wrote to them several times. They insisted on the original sales receipt despite the fact I had the charge on my American Express bill. They had no technical advise either. Read other Amazon reviews on their products breakdowns! I've paid half as much for irons that lasted for years. Avoid this turkey and this company. I'll never buy another T-fal product and neither should you!

This is a super iron. I quilt as a hobby and this iron stands up to all the ironing I need to do. It is excellent at getting out the toughest wrinkles.

I gave it only four stars due to it not being seasoned enough for me. I had to re-season it a couple of times to get it to my liking. Of course I have to do that to all pre-seasoned cast iron cookware. Other than this, it's great for chili and stews.
