CKE WG-HF-4S Commercial 4-Plate Square Waffle Machine, 1.6kW

Our review

The CKE WG-HF-4S is a heavy-duty square waffle baker built around a quad-plate layout, so one machine turns out four 100 x 100 mm waffles in the same pass. That makes it a sensible fit for a cafe, breakfast diner or dessert station where waffles move steadily through the day and a single domestic iron would bottleneck the counter. Before committing, think about how it will sit in your kitchen: a unit of this class is industrial rather than portable, so plan bench space, a nearby power point and somewhere for the plates to cool. Compare it with single-plate commercial irons, which cost less but need more passes per order, and with round Belgian-style machines if round waffles suit your menu better. Check the plate size against your serving portions and confirm the plate configuration matches the waffle shape you sell. The 1.6kW rating is worth noting when you map your kitchen's electrical load. It is available on Sokonia.
