I have noticed that a number of mini waffle irons are popping up on Amazon and other places. There are variations on them such as grilled sandwich makers and flat surface grills. Without looking at reviews I decided to buy one, the Tasty Mini Waffle Maker. It's promoted as being good for waffles, hash browns, brownies "and more".
I found that it heats up fast and bakes the waffle fairly fast as well. The problem is that it bakes very unevenly.

The waffle was pale at the top when the lower part was done. It's even more uneven than the pic shows because I turned the waffle around to try to get a more even result. The next thing I tried was hash browns, which is the main reason I bought it. The results were the same. I kept the potato in longer until the top part browned a bit, but by then the lower part was overdone, hard and dry.
There is another brand of mini makers called the Dash. Based on the reviews I have seen, it looks more promising, including some models that have multiple removeable plates. I really should have researched this a little more but I only paid $12.
