Welcome back to Reviews inside tv, where we test it, use it, and tell it like it is. Today, something whimsical landed on our countertop—but don’t let its playful face fool you. We’re talking about the DASH Multimaker Mini System in aqua. Six removable plates, including dinosaurs and unicorns? That’s not just for kids—it’s for anyone who wants fast, fun, and functional breakfast options with a side of personality. But does the performance match the charm?
This 4-in-1 mini waffle maker comes with six interchangeable nonstick plates: two for classic waffles, one unicorn-shaped, one dinosaur-shaped, and two flat griddles for eggs, burgers, or whatever quick fix you’re craving. It’s compact, countertop-friendly, and designed for quick operation—plug it in, wait for the ready light, add your batter, and close it up. The non-slip feet and cool-touch handle help keep things safe and stable, especially with younger users nearby. The real standout here is the removable plate system, which not only allows you to switch up your creations but also pops out for dishwasher-safe cleaning. A rarity in this size class.
Now, let’s talk about actual use. Setup? As simple as it gets—plug and play. The indicator light does its job, though it’s not super bright in natural lighting. Swapping out plates is surprisingly smooth—they snap in with minimal effort and feel secure. During testing, the classic waffles came out evenly browned, while the fun-shaped ones were a hit at a weekend brunch with kids. But the griddle plates were the dark horse—perfect for a quick egg and sausage sandwich or warming leftover pizza. Cleanup was exactly as advertised. A quick wipe if you’re in a rush, or toss the plates into the dishwasher for a deeper clean. That said, while the plates are nonstick, you’ll still want to give them a light spray of oil to avoid edge sticking on thicker batters.

Back to business. Let’s look at the pros: First, versatility—it’s rare to get this many functions in such a compact unit. The removable plates are a major win, and cleanup is genuinely easy. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and the novelty shapes are great for getting picky eaters to the table. On the flip side, the appliance is small by design, so you’re limited to one portion at a time. The hinge isn’t adjustable, meaning thicker batters or bigger ingredients can cause slight unevenness. And while it works well, the construction—mostly plastic with a light latch—feels delicate. Not fragile, but not industrial either.
When it comes to value, you’re getting a lot of features for the price. Between the interchangeable plates, nonstick surface, and ease of maintenance, it’s a well-rounded product—especially if you’re cooking for one or two, or have kids who love creative food. It’s not a commercial kitchen tool, but it doesn’t pretend to be. Compared to other compact waffle makers in the same category, the DASH Multimaker edges ahead with its removable plates and shape variety. Most others either don’t offer removable plates or limit you to a single style. That said, there are larger models out there for slightly more money if speed and batch-cooking are priorities. For those cooking for multiple people at once, this might feel a bit slow.
The build quality is decent for the price. The housing is plastic, but the plates themselves have solid metal construction with quality nonstick coating. So far, no signs of warping, discoloration, or coating flake, even after multiple uses and dishwasher runs. There’s not much long-term data yet, but DASH as a brand has built a solid reputation for fun, reliable kitchen gadgets that don’t overpromise.
In terms of customer support, DASH generally gets positive marks for responsiveness. While we didn’t have to contact them ourselves during testing, the included one-year warranty and solid reputation in user forums suggest they’re standing behind the product. That’s comforting, especially in a category where cheap imitators can fall short and disappear just as quickly.
So, wrapping it up—this DASH 4-in-1 Multimaker is smartly designed, user-friendly, and genuinely fun. It’s not going to replace your full-size waffle iron or griddle if you’re cooking for a crowd, but that’s not its lane. It fulfills its purpose as a compact, creative, and easy-to-clean breakfast companion, especially suited for singles, couples, small families, and anyone with a soft spot for unicorns and dino-shaped food. It’s not perfect—but it’s purposeful. And in the crowded world of gimmicky mini makers, this one delivers more than it promises.
