Benchstar Waffle Maker WB-04A

The Benchstar WB-04A is a rotating-plate waffle maker producing 20 Belgian waffles an hour on an 18 cm Teflon-coated cast aluminium plate. Rotating the plate distributes batter evenly for a full, even waffle, and PCB control holds both temperature and time precisely with a buzzer at the end of the cycle. Stainless steel heating elements sit on both sides, and the inner plate can be swapped out with a screwdriver.

Why operators choose the WB-04A

• Rotating plate for even batter distribution — batter spreads to the edges under rotation, so you get a full waffle rather than a thin edge and a thick middle
• Interchangeable inner plate — the plate comes out with a screwdriver, so a worn plate is replaced rather than the whole machine
• PCB control with buzzer — precise temperature and time, and an audible cue at the end, so results do not depend on someone watching
• 20 Belgian waffles per hour — steady output for a cafe or dessert service
• Heating elements on both sides — the waffle cooks evenly top and bottom instead of colouring one face first
• 124-230C temperature range — dial in the colour and crispness the batter needs
• Timer to 99 minutes 59 seconds — set a repeatable cycle instead of guessing
• Cool-touch Bakelite handles both sides — the plate is worked comfortably through a service without a cloth

Specifications

Venue suitability

The WB-04A suits cafes, dessert bars, hotels and function venues serving Belgian waffles as a menu item. At 255 mm wide it takes very little bench, and the replaceable plate makes it a sensible choice where the machine will be run hard.

Installation & delivery

It runs on a standard 240 V supply through a normal 10 A power outlet, so no dedicated circuit and no hard-wiring are needed. Allow 255 mm of heat-tolerant bench with clearance above and around to rotate the plate fully. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 12-month return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What size waffles does the WB-04A make? A: One Belgian waffle per cycle on an 18cm diameter plate, up to 1 inch thick, at an output of 20 waffles an hour.

Q: Why does the plate rotate? A: Rotating the plate spreads the batter evenly to the edges, which gives a full, uniform waffle instead of a thin edge and a thick centre.

Q: Can the plate be replaced? A: Yes. The inner plate can be changed with a screwdriver, so a worn plate does not mean replacing the machine.

Q: Does it need special wiring? A: No. It runs at 1.4kW through a standard 10A outlet, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is required.

Q: What happens at the end of the cycle? A: PCB control manages temperature and time, and a buzzer sounds once the set time is up.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Twelve months, return to base. The unit is returned for service rather than a technician attending on site — reasonable on a benchtop appliance you can transport, but worth factoring into downtime planning.
