The hotplate side could have easily been a 1000w coil and the "sandwich maker" side could have been a similarly powerful single-sandwich sized press, but the manufacturers seem to have totally cheaped-out and taken shortcuts for both parts. I wonder what's inside, providing the heat to the the plate on the right? Doesn't seem to be a coil or induction hotplate for the heating (it would be more even), I wonder if there's just a really big lightbulb, like in the old Easy Bake toy oven? What's hilarious is that I can get a double/twin electric hotplate for less than the price of this "breakfast machine"

The problem was not pre-heating the pans. Anything you cook with, you always need to pre-heat your pans regardless of included instructions. My suggestion would be to use the "mini kitchen" as you would any cook top, but with SMALLER portions, because the cooking surface is smaller, thus less or lower heat temperature, i.e. LONGER cooking times. Also, covering the small fry pan with a lid would probably help a little bit.

I always put a bit of water and a lid on my egg fry pan. The steam helps the top cook faster so I can pull it off the heat before the yolk starts to harden. Maybe the lid from the pot might fit. I've never had dependable results doing over easy due to inexperience mainly 'cause I rarely make eggs for breakfast.

Reminds me of the little single electric burner that I bought. It has levels 1 to 5 and off, but it seems like if you don't want to spend an hour to boil a pot of water, it has to be on 5. Even then, it just gets to whatever temp and the light goes off, and stays off 5 plus minutes. Tried to make a single package of hamburger helper in a skillet on it once, and instead of the done within 25 minutes, this burner took over an hour for the same job. As a comparison, my Chef Man electric skillet also turns off and on, but can make a single box of hamburger helper in a fair 40 minutes including the waiting for the heating element and the time out to drain the grease.

I can see the issue with the uneven pan side - the pan is thin and cheap and uneven when it warms up so you will get cold spots. If there was a slightly thicker pan it'd cure that. I'd be intrigued if there's some Japanese company that's done something like this for their home market rather than built down to cost Chinese stuff. I feel with a bit more care, and design this could be killer.

I actually had one and it worked fine my kid took it away to cook in his dorm. But, you have to preheat the pot and frying pan side always, just 4 minutes before placing any food inside. Good for grill cheese, burgers and ham & cheese sandwiches. If you need boiling water for cooking, I suggest to do on electric kettle and then pour into the pot for steaming vegetables it will be fastest method and the lid to the pot fits the frying pan which helps when frying eggs.

The "waffle" side looks like it would work well for making focaccia or corn bread, if someone didn't have an oven. Bake the focaccia or corn bread batter on that side, then slice cross-wise and fill with delicious sandwich ingredients. On the skillet side, do thinner, more crepe-like pancakes and fill with something yummy. Also, it looks like the skillet could easily hold 2 eggs, but maybe it would better with scrambled so the cook could be moving them around the pan to make up for the uneven cooking surface.

It is definitely underpowered. The size is bit too small as well. A non stick pan along with better controls can make it a success.

The reason why the waffle side cooks a bit faster is it has two heating elements; one on top and one on the bottom whereas the skillet only has one and with lower wattage than the waffle side. Still 28 minutes to steam 4 pieces of broccoli is way too long. Thanks for the review.

17 minutes to boil water, you can take a regular fire and get boiled water in like 3 minutes, they need to go back to the drawing board with this

If I live in RV or dorm I would be really grateful if I have this appliance, I remembered living in a dorm for a couple of months, cooking takes some creativity like grilling toast with an clothing iron, cooking ramen with community microwave, or buying a take out but it's expensive.

I guess this is for a situation where you don't have a oven/stove? Combining things is usually worse than just buying separates... like a hotplate and a cast iron Dutch oven (that'll be roughly the same price and far more useful/versatile).

The frying pan side seems to have a small round heating element underneath so everything you cooked had a hot spot. The heat didn't seem to dissipate around the entire surface of the cooktop. So basically, for $80 you're stuck with a very expensive, mediocre waffle iron. I think you were kind and generous with your review, I would have panned this thing hard. One star only because it actually heats up. Thanks for trying it out for us, you definitely took one for the team on this one.

🤗Love the reviews... These are specific need items, that is the limitation you find - low wattage needs greater time to cook... Great review , please try reviewing Microwave pressure cookers - Nordic ware , silverstone, QVC 3 - 5 quart.

a Quality iron upside down on a mount works a whole lot better than that thing. Heck your mom will buy you one if you ask for it for college. For those out there who don't understand. College and military dorms do not allow cooking appliances but they do allow irons. Irons have heat setting. build a wooden mount place the iron upside down and set it just below the steam setting. Make sure you have layered the top with heavy duty aluminum foil. Next place your small pan on top and your all set. works very well and if you get an oval pan works even better.

I’ve been dying to watch this, I could see the title but I was in WV just outside of cell range, and the videos wouldn’t play, finally got back to cell service. I’m bummed cuz that is adorable and would be great for dorms/students, and solo RV’rs and van lifers. I hope they improve it, maybe switch the bulbs inside from 40 watt to 75watt 3 way bulbs! So cute tho 😊

a regular griddle or hotplate would be easier or a multi cooker as someone who had to live in motels before when homeless I can tell you that thing doesn't look like a good value when some small appliances are just as pricy or less and work better and there's these combination microwave and coffee pot and griddle things with the griddle on top and coffee pot on the side that cost just as much as that thing and work better some even have built in toasters for frozen waffles for a few bucks more..but as someone who might have to go back to living in motels again I'll stick with my hotplate and small appliances ty

you should try a run of doing everything on one unit operation at a time then compare to cooking times and variations when using both units simultaneously. maybe boil times might decrease when only using that element. if thats the case it might be useful to keep handy to plug into a jackery during power outages and such. then again, I wouldn't pay more than $20 for such an appliance. $80 is way too ambitious a price. must be sharper image.

The part that looks like Forman grill, is a great idea. If I had that when I lived in my van. If they made the other side stronger so you could boil water faster. I'd get one .

if you don't have an oven just get an induction burner or reg burner and get a convection air fryer oven lol. You can bake and cook without any loss of function.

I am a disabled Vet, and spend most of my time in my "cave". it is a combination of den and bed room. I have a small electric hot plate, and an electric kettle. brand new on Amazon, they cost me less than half what that thing did, combined ( about $35 combined, 3 years ago) I can cook better with a variety of small pots and skillets, and boil 1.8l of water in under 5 minutes. this seems very gimmicky, and like a waste of money. in a very small space, for less money, you could have something that actually functions. and while the kettle is on/off, and you control temperature by how long you let it go, the small hot plate has a temperature knob, that works well.

It has potential, but I'd take a higher quality version. I'd love a propane-fired version (with a good regulator), for camping. Put the wind flaps on the sides. Also needed are adjustable heat levels - at least more settings. Better burners would help with even cooking. The electric version seems underpowered, but maybe all you need to do is preheat. Dunno. Build it of quality materials, inside and out. At $80 US, that looked about right. Based on what I've seen in the world of camping gear, a handy design like that, if built properly, would fetch $250+
