Wanted: waffle maker

In seven years of living Australia I have seen specialized electrical equipment designed for a single purpose, such as cooking pizza, cooking sausages, baking donuts (aren't donuts supposed to be fried), grilling sandwiches, boiling rice, grinding coffee, making coffee, or baking bread.

So why is it that I can't find a waffle maker in this country?

Waffle with ice cream and hot fudge I got the Breville for my birthday.  It arrived this week (a little late for the party, but who cares).  I usually consider waffles a breakfast food, but we couldn't resist making them for dessert the night it arrived.  It cooks well enough, and the non-stick plates are fantastic, but it's awfully small, making it sub-optimal for big groups.

On day two, my son wanted waffles for morning tea - I obliged, and then that night we ate the left overs for dessert with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yum, yum!

Thanks again AB.  We'll have to have you and the family over for brunch.
