Compare the top 3 waffle makers in Australia 2026

For most Australian homes the Sunbeam Vertical Waffle Maker at around $99 is the right buy. The clever upright design lets you pour batter into a funnel at the top, it spreads heat evenly for full, fluffy, crisp waffles with no overflow and no mess, then stores upright in a tight cupboard. A 5-setting shade selector takes you from light-and-fluffy to dark-and-crispy, and the on-screen timer auto-starts the moment it senses batter, so there is no guesswork about when a waffle is ready. It is the neatest, most foolproof everyday all-rounder.

The Cuisinart 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker at about $80 is the family pick, it bakes four deep-pocket Belgian waffles at once, so a household eats together instead of in shifts, with 5 browning settings, ready indicator lights and a locking lid that stops batter leaking. The Breville the Smart Waffle (BWM640) at about $328 is the premium pick for frequent, particular waffle makers: Waffle IQ dials in the exact time for the style and shade you choose, even heat means no raw middles, and the No-Mess Moat catches and cooks overflow.

Below those three, the $41 Bestron Mini is the cheapest way in, Breville's heart-shaped Crisp Control adds novelty at $78, and the $199 No-Mess Waffle Iron is built entirely around overflow control, six picks spanning every budget and waffle style.
