I was looking for a different Christmas cookie this year and remembered how great krumkakes were. This electric waffle iron type appliance is so easy to use that I found I could whip up a batch in a half hour! Everyone loved them. The recipe book included has both pizzelle and krumkake recipes.

Bought this after wrestling with myself to buy the stove top "traditional" iron like my grandmother used or to go with the newer, easier version. I'm really glad I went with the newer updated version. It's really easy to use once you get the batter quantity down. I've tried a couple recipes & they were both different in texture and quantity to put on the iron. Really like this iron. Easy to use and clean up.

This baker arrived to my daughter before Christmas and I received a call of delight with thankfulness for this gift. It is so easy to use that even the grand girls from age 10-15 are baking with it. They have sent me several pictures of the results. Of course, they have some experience in other baking and cooking too. It is so simple to use but creates such an elegant dessert for the holidays, for visitors and yet adds so much to any meal when only the family participates. I highly recommend this item.

I purchased this item from Amazon expecting the cone roller to come with it. (3 different places on the box say includes cone roller). When it arrived,there was a small sticker placed on the top of the box that says "due to difficulties with production, the cone roller is no longer available". I never would have purchased this item without the cone roller. After a long discussion with Amazon customer service, I finally got them to give me a $20 credit. I was first offered an apology and nothing, then $10 after more discussion, finally $20. I then ordered a cone roller from another seller on Amazon which cost me $14 including S&H. My credit wouldn't apply to this purchase. Make sure you get what you ordered, and stick to your guns when discussing anything with Amazon customer service.

Highly disappointed with this iron. It's really a pizelle iron and not a true krumkake iron. As others have alluded to, the iron arrives without cone rollers -- so you can only make flat (pizelle) cookies. Thankfully, I had a spare and was able to roll them despite this snafu. In addition, the iron makes "krumkake" that is too thick. No matter how hard you press the handles together or how long you bake the cookies, they come out thick and soggy -- rather than their intended crunchy and thin (almost ice cream cone like)texture.

Do not waste your money on this iron if you are looking for the real old-fashioned type of krumkake that your grandmother used to make. It is not a true krumkake iron. While it make look like the real thing, my guess is that it's a pizelle maker in a different box.

When this item was purchased it had "rollers"included. When the package arrived it had a sticker applied that "rollers not incluied", the packaging indicated they were included.
I caled Amazon and received a Ten dollar credit. It cost me about $30.00 to buy 2 on line.
Amazon should forced the vender to give me the "roller" for free since they wer on the orginal web page.
Deceptive advertizing and poor customer policy by Amazon

I ordered this as a gift for christmas and I got it shipped extremely fast, in plenty of time for christmas. My only problem with it is that it did not come with the wooden rollers to make the ice cream cone shaped Krumkake. There was a sticker on the box saying that the roller was not included due to manufacturer problems but that was never stated in the product description. I wish that it had been, as it would have effected my decision to buy this iron. The iron itself works wonderfully, but I have to hunt down a roller inorder to make what I want to make since it was not included like usual.

This item is easy to operate and easy to clean up. It makes 5 inch pizzeles pretty quickly. I would recommend to a friend.

Super fast shipment and item as described on site. I would buy from them again any time. Got item in five days.

I am disappointed with this machine for 2 reasons: 1st-the griddle mold is very shallow & it is difficult to make the krumkake form the round imprinted shape desired & 2nd-no cone roller is included. My krumkakes end up looking like lacy doilies or when made thicker, they run over the mold & out the sides of the machine.

Outside of the above issues, the machine is easy to use & clean up.
