Best Waffle Makers in the UAE (2026): Double, Square & Heart Compared

There is something about the smell of fresh waffles on a Friday morning that turns an ordinary UAE weekend into a proper family occasion. Whether it is a slow Jumeirah brunch, a quick suhoor treat during Ramadan, or a fun Eid morning with the kids helping in the kitchen, a good waffle maker earns its cupboard space fast — even in a compact Dubai or Abu Dhabi apartment. With the summer heat keeping most weekend activities indoors for much of the year, a countertop waffle station is also an easy way to turn a stay-home Friday into a small event for the kids without switching on the oven or heating up the whole kitchen. Saachi currently makes three waffle makers, each shaped for a different kind of household, and this guide compares them side by side so you can pick the right one the first time.

Saachi Double Waffle Maker NL-WM-1551-BK — AED 105

The Saachi Double Waffle Maker NL-WM-1551-BK is the one to reach for on a busy school morning. Its 1200W element heats fast, and each of the two plates splits into five bite-size hearts, so one batch gives you 10 mini heart-shaped waffles — easy for little hands to hold and perfect for portioning between siblings without an argument over who got the bigger piece. The non-stick plates release cleanly, automatic temperature control keeps every batch evenly golden, and the housing stays cool-touch while it works, which matters when there are children queuing up around the counter. At 2.2 kg and 36 x 25 x 11 cm, it stores flat in a cabinet without taking up much depth.

Saachi Square Waffle Maker NL-WM-1562-BK — AED 92

If you want the classic diner-style waffle rather than a novelty shape, the Saachi Square Waffle Maker NL-WM-1562-BK makes four full square waffles per batch, running on 1100–1300W. It is the most family-sized of the three, so it suits a household that wants everyone served in one go rather than in small rounds. A pilot light shows when it is up to temperature, non-slip rubber feet keep it steady on a kitchen counter, and when breakfast is done it stores vertically — a genuine space-saver in a galley kitchen or a smaller apartment where every centimetre of cabinet width counts. It weighs 2.3 kg and measures 29 x 32 x 11 cm.

Saachi Heart Waffle Maker NL-WM-1568-BK — AED 82

The Saachi Heart Waffle Maker NL-WM-1568-BK is the most affordable and the most gift-friendly of the range — it even shows up in Saachi's own Gift Ideas collection, which makes sense for a new-home housewarming or an Eid gift for a young couple. Its single plate turns out five heart-shaped waffles with a diamond grid pattern, using a lighter 800–1000W element, and temperature is adjustable rather than fixed automatic, so you can dial the heat down slightly for a softer waffle or up for extra crispness. A pilot light and cool-touch housing carry over from the rest of the range, and at 2.6 kg with vertical storage, it tucks away just as easily as the square model.

Which Saachi Waffle Maker Should You Choose?

In short: if mornings in your home mean feeding a few children quickly and fairly, the Double Waffle Maker's 10 mini hearts make portioning simple. If you are cooking for a bigger household and want a proper full-size waffle on every plate, the Square Waffle Maker's four-at-once batch is the better fit. And if you are buying your first waffle maker, gifting one, or simply want the lowest price to try the format at home, the Heart Waffle Maker gives you the same non-stick convenience for less. The table below lines up the key numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Saachi waffle maker is best for a small Dubai apartment?

The Square Waffle Maker NL-WM-1562-BK and the Heart Waffle Maker NL-WM-1568-BK both store vertically, which makes them easier to slot into a narrow kitchen cabinet than a unit that only stores flat. If counter and cabinet space is tight, either of those two is the more practical pick over the Double Waffle Maker NL-WM-1551-BK.

Can I use any waffle batter in these Saachi waffle makers?

Yes. All three take a standard pourable waffle batter — homemade or a boxed mix — and the non-stick plates on every model are designed for an even release without extra oil or butter, which also keeps cleanup quick.

Are Saachi waffle makers suitable for Ramadan suhoor or Eid mornings?

They suit both well. The Double Waffle Maker's fast 1200W heat-up and mini portions work nicely for a quick pre-fajr suhoor bite, while the family-sized Square Waffle Maker is a good fit for a bigger Eid breakfast table where everyone is served together.

What is the difference between the automatic and adjustable temperature control on these models?

The Double Waffle Maker NL-WM-1551-BK and Square Waffle Maker NL-WM-1562-BK use automatic temperature control, which regulates the heat for you and takes the guesswork out of getting a consistent, evenly golden waffle. The Heart Waffle Maker NL-WM-1568-BK instead gives you adjustable control, letting you set the heat yourself if you prefer a softer or crispier result.
