Another called it a 'kitchen staple for small apartments,' adding that they use it for everything from waffles to hash browns and even mini paninis.

Hop to it! This bunny waffle maker is down to $10, just in time for Easter
Easter's coming up, so it's time to prep if you haven't already. What are you serving for holiday brunch? If you're not quite sure, we have an adorable answer for you: bunny waffles! You don't need any special batter-drizzling skills to do it, just the Peeps x Dash Bunny Mini Waffle Maker. More than 196,000 reviewers (yep, you read that right!) gave the Dash gadget five stars in all its festive forms, but there's even more to love about it: Right now, it's just $10 — that's 33% off. According to our trackers, this is the lowest price in at least six months. The Peeps versions of this mini waffle maker (there's also a little yellow chick) rarely go on sale, and when they do, it's usually in the spring. Plus, this waffle maker is useful well beyond Easter. It cranks out perfectly cooked 4-inch waffles you can enjoy all year. Okay, we admit it: A bunny-themed waffle maker is not an essential. But if you've always wanted a waffle iron and don't have a ton of space, this one is a winner. It's compact enough to fit inside a drawer and it's easy to use — just plug it in and go. The nonstick surface ensures every waffle comes out perfectly in minutes. As for the design, well, who wouldn't smile looking at this pink gadget and its bunny-patterned waffles? The iron is designed with a bunny shape in the center that looks just like the iconic Peeps marshmallow candy. You can pour batter just into the bunny shape or fill the whole iron, and either way you'll get to enjoy the cute design. You could even use a different batter for the bunny or tint it a color with food dye to make it extra festive. This gadget takes care of you with safety features such as an extended handle and nonslip feet. It comes with a recipe book and a one-year warranty. More than 196,000 shoppers have given the Dash Mini Waffle Maker a glowing five stars, making it a No. 1 Amazon bestseller. You can also get a pumpkin-themed waffle maker for Halloween, a heart for Valentine's Day, and regular mini waffle makers in a huge array of cheerful colors. "She's very cutesy, very Easter," wrote one hoppy shopper, who also pointed out, "You can only make one at a time so keep that in mind when buying a Mini. I want to say one waffle takes about three to five minutes to cook (depending on how crispy you like your waffle). It takes up very little space, so you can have it right by the stove while making breakfast!" "This little waffle maker is on point! Now I don't have to drag the big waffle maker out," said this five-star fan. "The iron is small but not flimsy at all, heats up quick and works great. A small brush of oil keeps the plates from sticking and although the plates are not removable, cleanup is easy. Waffles are plenty thick enough and crispy and can be left to cook longer depending on how light or dark the coloring is desired. I'm so used to the big square waffles I didn't think I would like this size, but two are perfect and the rest go into the freezer for other meals." Another shopper shared this clever use: "Ten bucks?! I got this little guy to make these things called 'chaffles,' which is really just egg, cheese, and some almond flour. The sad girl's alternative to a delicious, but carb-tastic, waffle. I'm impressed! It popped me out a delicious chaffle faster than a bunny in the spring! Easy to use, wiped it clean, and it worked like a charm." As buyers point out, you can only make one waffle at a time, so if you're serving a crowd, it may take some time. "Love the different faces and options, but takes forever making one at a time for three boys," noted one reviewer. Some folks didn't like that there's no power button: You simply plug it in and it starts to heat up. "It's definitely on the mini side. Very easy to use. The two things I would've liked are for the product to have an on/off button and for the iron plates to be removable for cleaning. Overall, my 3-year-old and I loved it!" wrote one mostly pleased shopper. Want to keep your waffles as mess-free as possible? The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem.

The Best Dash Appliances to Save Countertop Space (and Money)
Skip to main content From a mini waffle maker to a rapid egg cooker, these tiny kitchen appliances are easy on the wallet and don't hog space. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. I've spent the past seven years living in various New York City apartments, where small and cramped kitchens are a feature, not a bug. That's what drew me to Dash's appliances—I first saw people raving about the company's small devices on TikTok, so I caved and bought the Dash Mini Waffle Maker. After that, I immediately expanded my collection, because these tiny appliances are easy to use, versatile, and budget-friendly. Dash sells many appliances, but which are worth the precious space on your countertop? I've tested quite a few, from a waffle maker to an egg cooker, and these are my favorites. Power up with unlimited access to WIRED . Get best-in-class reporting that's too important to ignore for just $2.50 $1 per month for 1 year. Includes unlimited digital access and exclusive subscriber-only content. Subscribe Today . What Are Dash Appliances? AccordionItemContainerButton Dash makes compact kitchen appliances that are super easy to use, clean, and store. These span various categories, including waffle makers, toasters, ovens, blenders, air fryers, cookware, and mixers. While anyone can use them, I think they're especially great for dorms and small apartments, small budgets, and anyone striking it out on their own for the first time. These gadgets are essentially foolproof and come with recipe books if you're really stuck. Are Dash Appliances Durable? AccordionItemContainerButton In our testing so far, yes. They're plastic appliances and may not feel like they'll last a long time, but I've been using the Dash Mini Waffle Maker for three years, and it continues to perform well. Another WIRED reviewer has been using the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker for more than five years, and it's still going. I've yet to run into any issues with other Dash appliances I've tested, even after months of heavy use. Each appliance comes with a one-year warranty. Under the warranty, you'll be able to exchange it for the same item if there's a defect. You'll need to provide proof of purchase, so hold on to that receipt. I recommend registering your Dash appliance, as this will automatically extend it to a two-year warranty. How Do I Clean a Dash Appliance? AccordionItemContainerButton It depends on the appliance. The ones included in this buying guide come with parts that are dishwasher safe. I typically wipe down the nonremovable parts with a wet paper towel (like the griddle on the waffle maker and egg bite maker). But for tougher messes, I'll scrub it with dish soap and a sponge. I first discovered the Dash Mini Waffle Maker after it went viral on TikTok years ago. Since then, I've bought another one to keep at my parents' house. I use it to make traditional waffles, but I've also made cinnamon roll waffles, 'chaffles' (a waffle made with shredded cheese and eggs), and protein waffles. It's also great for making breakfast sandwiches and cheese quesadillas. All you have to do is mix your ingredients, pour them onto the griddle, shut the lid, and wait a few minutes as it cooks. It's easy to store in my kitchen cabinet, and it's so small that I can still find a spot to use it on a cluttered countertop. My only gripe is that it's a bit tough to clean; I recommend using a dish brush for a thorough clean instead of a sponge. A little batter also goes a long way with this device—I've had instances where I've added too much and it overflowed (which makes it that much harder to clean). WIRED senior reviews editor Julian Chokkattu says his wife has been using this mini rapid egg cooker for five years. As someone who loves eggs, she uses it to make soft-boiled eggs often. But you can also use it for hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or scrambled eggs. Rather than futzing around with a pot of boiling water, all you have to do is set it and forget it. When it's ready, you'll hear a chime play. It is plasticky (a common theme with Dash products), but it's still in decent condition after all these years. I consider myself a cinephile. My favorite form of self-care is plopping myself on the couch after a long day and watching a movie. This experience is only complete with a nice bowl of popcorn, and Dash's popcorn maker makes it all that more exciting. I genuinely look forward to movie nights that much more knowing I'll be able to whip up a fresh bowl with different seasonings each time. It comes with a measuring cup that doubles as a melting tray. Scoop the kernels in, add butter to the tray, press the button, and the popcorn will begin popping. Once it's done, you can drizzle the melted butter on top. I recommend buying these retro (and reusable) popcorn containers for an extra fun touch. I've tested tons of electric kettles over the past few years, but this is what I've chosen to keep on my countertop mainly because it's pretty fuss-free and lightweight. I like the window, which lets you see how much water is in the kettle. My only complaint is speed, especially considering that Dash claims it features 'rapid boil technology.' It takes about 10 minutes to boil 1.7 liters, which isn't terrible, but that's far from rapid compared to other kettles I've tested this size. Still, it's a nice choice if you're looking for a cheap electric kettle that's also cute. I'm obsessed with egg bites from Starbucks, but not enough to go out and buy them every day. Thanks to this handy-dandy gadget, I've now got egg bites at home! I use it when I'm in a pinch and don't have time to cook a proper breakfast but want to ensure I'm keeping up with my protein intake. I've made egg bites with veggies, turkey bacon, and cheese. They cook sous vide-style too, which keeps the egg bites from getting too dry. All you have to do is pour water onto the griddle and then place the four silicone molds on top. The egg bites will be ready within a few minutes. Clean-up is easy too—I pop the silicone molds into the dishwasher and wipe the machine down with a paper towel. Dash Express Digital Tasti-Crisp Air Fryer I've always wanted an air fryer, but I knew deep down I wouldn't use it often. That is until my dog's vet suggested I add a novel protein—tilapia—to her food, and I realized I needed an appliance that would allow me to cook the fish quickly every day. I went with this one from Dash because, at under $100, it's affordable. I didn't think I'd end up using it for myself too. I've relied on it mainly to cook vegetables, but I also use it for chicken, fish, and bacon. With a 2.6-quart capacity, it's on the small side, so it's better for small portions—otherwise, you'll have to cook in batches. The touchscreen controls are responsive and easy to use, with the ability to set precise times and temperatures along with presets for Shake Reminder, Keep Warm, and one you can customize. The basket and removable nonstick base are dishwasher safe.
