The W16 is a 1200W electric stick waffle maker that produces four elongated waffle sticks per cycle. It processes batter into hand-held waffle sticks for café counters, dessert stations, and mobile catering operations. Operators pour batter, close the lid, and extract finished product in 2–3 minutes depending on batter recipe.
Commercial Application
Stick waffles serve as grab-and-go items at café counters, hotel breakfast buffets, and food truck service windows. The four-stick format allows operators to produce individual servings or multi-stick portions without switching equipment. The W16 fits into compact counter spaces where traditional round waffle makers would consume excessive footprint.
During service peaks, operators rotate batches continuously. Each four-stick cycle takes approximately 2–3 minutes from pour to extraction. A single unit produces 12–16 servings per hour under consistent workflow. The stick format reduces plating time and eliminates the need for cutting or portioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the plate dimensions and stick waffle length?
A: Each of the four cavities produces a stick waffle approximately 18–20 cm in length. Plate depth determines batter capacity and finished product thickness. Exact dimensions are confirmed with technical support prior to order.
Q: How many stick waffles can the W16 produce per hour?
A: Output ranges from 12 to 16 four-stick batches per hour depending on batter type and desired doneness. Each cycle takes 2–3 minutes. Continuous operation requires pre-measured batter portions to maintain consistent throughput.
Q: What electrical connection does the W16 require?
A: The unit operates on 1200W at 230V AC, 50Hz standard UK/EU mains supply. A dedicated 13A socket is recommended. North American operators require a step-down transformer or 120V model specification confirmation.
Q: What material are the waffle plates made from?
A: Plates are cast aluminum with industrial non-stick coating. The coating tolerates metal utensil contact during extraction but nylon or silicone tools extend surface life. Plates are not removable for dishwasher cleaning.
Q: Is this unit appropriate for home kitchen use?
A: The W16 is rated for commercial operation with continuous duty cycle capability. It exceeds the power draw and thermal output typical of domestic appliances. Home operators should consider consumer-grade models designed for intermittent use.
