Russell Hobbs Pancake Maker Sees Price Drop Ahead of Shrove Tuesday
With Shrove Tuesday approaching on February 17, Amazon has slashed the price of its best-selling pancake maker to just £24.99, down from its usual £26.52. The Russell Hobbs Electric Crepe and Pancake Maker is now available at a six percent discount for a limited time, providing an affordable kitchen solution for Pancake Day enthusiasts.
Customer Reviews Praise Performance and Ease of Use
Shoppers who have purchased the device consistently report that it "works perfectly every time" and delivers excellent value for money. The product has earned an impressive 4.5-star rating on Amazon, with numerous positive testimonials highlighting its reliability and user-friendly design.
One satisfied customer, Paula, commented: "So easy to do, even if you need to do dairy free and gluten free. No need for any oil to fry them in. Great machine and excellent value for money." Another shopper, David, added: "Amazing quality, works perfectly every time and the easiest kitchen item to clean by far. Also great for making toasted sandwiches and grilling things if you want."
Features That Enhance Pancake Making
According to the product description on Amazon, the pancake maker features an easy-to-operate heating system and a non-stick plate that ensures even cooking. The device maintains consistent temperature across the plate, which helps prevent burnt or undercooked sections that are common when using traditional frying pans.
The included spreader assists in achieving uniform size and shape for pancakes, while the spatula allows users to check doneness and flip them effortlessly. This combination of tools makes the process straightforward, even for children, as noted by customer Charlie: "Very useful for the price, very easy to use and makes perfect pancakes every time. Kids can use with ease!"
Alternative Options Available
While the Russell Hobbs model is currently the standout deal, other retailers are also offering pancake makers at competitive prices. Amazon is selling the Andrew James Crepe and Pancake Maker for £28.04, while Lakeland's 2in1 Waffle and Pancake Maker costs £19.99 and features a detachable plate for easy cleaning.
Currys has reduced the QUEST Pancake and Crepe Maker from £23.99 to £19.99, which includes an adjustable temperature dial for customized browning. However, some customers have noted limitations with the Russell Hobbs model; Michael mentioned: "We didn’t get on with this. It is a bit too big and we didn’t find it that easy to make the pancake. Easier in a frying pan."
Despite this isolated criticism, the overwhelming majority of reviews celebrate the device's performance, making it a popular choice for those seeking a hassle-free Pancake Day experience. The Russell Hobbs Electric Crepe and Pancake Maker remains available for purchase at £24.99 on Amazon as the holiday approaches.
