Tefal SW854D

Description

As a dedicated waffle enthusiast, I was stoked to receive the Tefal SW854D waffle maker as a gift. Little did I know, this contraption would become the source of both my greatest joys and deepest frustrations.

Let’s start with the good news. The Tefal SW854D makes pretty darn good waffles. The non-stick surface ensures that each waffle pops out with ease, and the adjustable temperature control allows for precise cooking (aka, you can make ’em as crispy or as soft as you like). Plus, the machine itself is sleek and stylish – it’ll make you feel like a fancy breakfast chef.

However, the Tefal SW854D is not without its quirks. For starters, this thing is BIG. I’m talking takes up half your kitchen counter big. You better be ready to commit to this waffle maker, because you won’t have any room for anything else.

Secondly, there’s the matter of the Ready light. Now, it’s great that the Tefal SW854D has a light to indicate when the waffles are ready…but this light is the most confusing thing I’ve ever encountered. Sometimes it turns on when the waffles are nowhere near done, and other times it stays off even when the waffles are burnt to a crisp. It’s a mystery.

Finally, let’s talk about the beeping. Oh, the beeping. The Tefal SW854D will beep at you relentlessly, letting you know when it’s preheating, when the waffles are done, when you’re about to burn the house down…you get the idea. And while it’s nice to have an alert system, this beeping is louder than a fire alarm. I swear my neighbors can hear it.

In conclusion, the Tefal SW854D waffle maker is like that one friend who’s equal parts delightful and annoying. It makes killer waffles, but at the cost of taking over your kitchen and beeping in your ear. If you can handle the quirks, it’s a worthwhile addition to your breakfast arsenal. But if you’re someone who values peace and quiet…maybe stick to pancakes.
