Hi,

I have been unable to find any belgian waffle makers in the UK, other
than expensive proffessional dualit ones.

It's ironic really, that so many are available in the US when the UK
is 10x closer to Belgium, but i guess thats life.

The only cheap ones I've found here is one which makes thin heart
shaped waffles, and is available on Amazon and Ebay by a company
called Prima or Petra. This isn't a proper thick rectangular one that
I want. I have found a one that you put on a cooker top, but i want an
automatic.

Google is really screwed up these days by thousands of sites with
thousands of keywords on trying to get you to buy products on
commission, all of which are in the US and don't ship to the UK. Even
if they did, the voltage would be wrong and I'd have to pay import
duty ontop of extorsionate shipping, combined with a voltage
transformer.

Can anyone give me some tips please?

Thanks

Tony

Krups make a Belgian waffle machine - I assume that they will have both
110v and 230v versions. Shipping and taxes within the EU will likely be
less than trying to import from the US - you may have to change the plug,
but that's easy and cheap.

Someone at uk.food+drink.misc might have a source.

Have you checked Walmart? They usually have them.

The original poster is in the United Kingdom, (not the United States) and
there are no Walmarts there - although Walmart has bought a UK supermarket
chain.

I should have said ASDA (Walmart) for UK. I think there are over 250
stores so there might be a possibility of finding one.

Sure. Buy two identical, cheap Belgian waffle makers from the US, wire
them *in series* to a single UK plug, and use as-is. Voila! A perfect,
two-headed waffle factory at very low cost!
