Carnival King CMPT16A 16" Round Portable Steel Crepe Maker - 120V

So, it works pretty well. If I didn't get it for the price I did, I'd probably give it a 3 star, but let's not expect a $1,000 machine for 1/5 the price. So first the negative. I don't like that there's a gap between the cooktop and the rest of the machine. Its an easy way to get ingredients down in the machine. Second, the burner doesn't reach to the outside of the griddle top. You can tell because you can look underneath since there's a gap, plus when you season it, it doesn't season completely to the edges since it doesn't get hot enough there. That being said, it seems to cook the crepe ok on the edges, so maybe I'm just worrying about it more than I should. The only real negative that I hate about it is that Read More

The unit is impressive. It's heft gives it a feeling of a well-built item. Most of the weight being in the cooking surface you'd think that it would hold heat well. But that's where this item falls short. When cooking a large batch of crepes, you immediately begin to notice that each crepe has a different look, texture, etc. That's because the thermostat doesn't seem to keep up with the loss of heat as batter is poured onto the surface. I tried making crepes on a Wolf Griddle (on a 60" dual fuel range). The Wolf had no issues whatsoever and all crepes were consistent. With this item you need to let the cook surface reheat before you can make the next crepe. Not particularly efficient or timely. As I stated, nicely built, but just needs more heat oomph and better thermostatic control.

I've purchased 5 of these for use in my stores. Three of them failed and no longer power on after only a day or two of being put into use. The 2 that do work are fine but from my experience you have less than a 50% chance your griddle will work.

This machine worked great for 6 months(just a little past the warranty limit). We bought it 11/24/21 and last week it started heating up uncontrollably! No way to use it and barely past the warranty! Not a pricey machine but definitely not worth only 6 1/2 months of use! Don't buy this machine if you don't want to have to replace it every 6 months!!

I like the carnival king brand! I got already a crepe and waffle makers. the price worth it. highly recommend this item. thank you very much

Been using this crepe maker for a few weeks already. Working good and we will buy another one in case we need it in the future!

I purchased this crepe iron 15 months ago, and I've put approximately 300 hours of use into it. Still running strong! It's easy to use, easy to clean. I thought at first that the handle around the outside was sort of ugly-- but its great for mobility-- moving the crepe from counter to counter, especially when it is still hot. I like this crepe iron so much that I actually purchased a second one!

We like this Crepe Maker! we have 3, they are very easy to clean. The only thing is that If you make more than 10 in a row it gets to long to get the crepe ready but I recommend it!

The Carnival King Crepe Maker arrives in a very heavy box that is reinforced with wood. My box was missing the batter spreader and the spatula. As soon as I contacted customer service it was promptly sent out to me. The spreader that comes with the machine is a metal one. I have yet to figure out how this spreader works as it always rips the crepe during spreading. I would honestly recommend getting a wooden spreader as it is easier to use. There was a smallish rough spot on the cooking surface when it arrived. I used a scouring pad and water to gently buff it down and it has caused no problems. Customer service told me if the spot caused any issues that they would replace the unit. The 110 v version takes around 15-20 minutes to heat to the proper cooking temperature.
