Carnival King WCM1 8" Non-Stick Waffle Cone Maker - 120V

This product worked great for awhile. Then the timer went out, it stopped cooking evenly and it started burning quickly. Inconsistent and difficult to clean.

We just received and started using this Carnival King Waffle Cone Maker in our ice cream shop. Unfortunately it cooks the waffle cones unevenly, to the extent that we cannot use this machine at all. The problem is that the heating plates are not aligned correctly. There is a large gap between the plates in the back and the plates touch in the front near the handle. It may be possible to take it apart and fix the issue, but trying may void the warranty. I read other reviews that mention this same issue. It must be pretty common.

Used in first and recently opened ice cream shop. Make 30-40 waffle cones a day. This has failed us basically from Day 1. Uneven cooking...parts burn while others are still barely cooked. Everything sticks so I have to use spray all the time. Also some parts of cone are thicker than others. Tried to order a Nemco except I've been waiting since July 9. First I was supposed to get in mid-august and now I;ve been informed after having to reach out after not receiving that it'll be November 1. So, we are stuck with a barely functioning unit as it gets worse every shift we use this unit. Super disappointing and real pain for a small ice cream shop. Please send suggestions of where to get a quality unit QUICK. Webstaurant should not be selling this as a commercial unit especially after the plethora of terrible reviews. Should be sold for personal and sporadic use only. Definitely not commercial quality.

First unit I bought had all the waffle cones coming out uneven. Thick at the back and thin and burned on the front. To their credit, they sent a new one assuming the first was defective. The new waffle cone maker was exactly the same. There is a 1/4” gap at the back that causes the uneven cooking. This is not defective it is how they are made and is certainly a design flaw. I would like to know if anyone has ever been able to cook an even waffle cone.

We bought this waffle cone maker to make our cones. It cooks the cones very unevenly. One side is often over cooked, while the other side still needs more time. Additionally, after only one month of use, the timer stopped working.

This unit worked excellent at first with some beautiful waffle cones made, but after being open 3 weeks the time has gone out and our waffle cones are now sticking really bad (we have been very careful with the coating) and the cooking is well done in the center and too blonde on the edges.

Not for commercial use. This item is not built for long service in a commercial environment. I used 6 of these for about 4-5 hours per day (on average) most didn't last for more than 3 months. I am a small business owner and I do not like to give unfavorable reviews as I don't want to mess with anyone's business, however, these should not be sold to commercial business. Home use or a small ice cream cart that makes 15-20 waffle cones per day, might be ok.

We've been using this waffle cone maker for about a week. The timer had already stopped working and it hasn't cooked evenly from day one. Wouldnt recommend.

First time trying the waffle maker, but is all lose. Not sure if that’s the way is supposed to be or if it’s damage. It is also uneven, the discos were waffle mix goes do not match evenly.

we purchased this waffle cone maker it stopped working, maybe of continuous use over time, not sure on how long it should last, but the top stopped heating up and waffle cones were not cooking properly. for the time that we had it, the maker worked perfect, making cones consistent. All things break at the end of day, but for the price it got its use.

Goes bad fast. We went through 2 of these in less than a year. Timer stops working. Then started only cooking on bottom, very uneven heating. Not easy to clean

works OK. it is a little unsteady but it gets the job done. it took me awhile to get it the right temp but after that it has worked great

Everyone loves Waffle cones but when you can make then fresh they really enjoy them. TheCarnival King WCM1 8" Waffle Cone Maker - 120V is a great purchase!

Honestly I read the previous reviews and took my chances since I have had Carnival King before. Well i should have listened, after two weeks the heating element was not even and I had to call customer service. Thank you Webstaurant for helping. Now on too different brand, fingers crossed (guess i should’ve taken photos of the cones)

When it was working, it was great. We have been using it for about a month and a half (intermittently, as we ran out of waffle mix a few times in between for weeks at a time) and already there is non stick coating breaking off constantly onto the waffles and we arent able to sell them. Issues with the timer others mentioned as well. Unfortunately for us, we bought it back in May and it sat unused in the box for 2 months, so I doubt there is any warranty. But in my opinion, expecting a product to last after a month of use should be *bare minimum*, which this didnt achieve :-(

Stop working two months after I got it

This waffle cone maker didn't work for me! Uneven cones and turning the knob isn't ideal for a busy ice cream shop. After doing allot of research I invested in the NEMCO waffle cone maker, it's fast, consistent and little wasted product.

WORKS WELL RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX AND EASY TO TRAIN STAFF ON USE AND CLEANNING. THE WAFFLE LIFTS OUT WITHOUT ANY STICKING AND THE TIMER WORKS PERFECT.

These last about a year with high volume. The plates start flaking and things start getting sticky. If the replacement plates weren't practically the same price as buying a new one, it wouldn't be so bad.

We use it every day to make fresh made waffle bowls. Easy to use. Baking consistently on it requires so getting used to and having a good batter but once you figure it out it’s easy.
