Bestron AMW500M: what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Very compact: at 15.4 x 11.3 x 20.3 cm and only 1.06 kg it fits in any small kitchen and drawer
- Non-stick plates: bake without sticking, easy to remove and wash
- Automatic control: temperature control with operating and ready indicator makes timing easier
- Retro look: the mint design looks decorative and also suits as a small gift
- Secure footing: heat-insulated handle and non-slip feet for safe baking
Points of criticism
- Only one mini waffle: Ø 10 cm per round, which quickly becomes a waiting game with several people eating
- Small portions: rather tight as a full breakfast for adults
- No browning levels: ready indicator only, no adjustable browning
