Aldi Introduces Ambiano Holiday Mini Waffle Makers

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2023. 

One of my family’s favorite things to do on a snowy winter morning is to heat up our waffle maker, mix up some batter, and cook crispy, fluffy waffles for breakfast. We wet out some maple syrup or pancake syrup and some butter, or maybe even some fresh fruit and whipped cream for toppings. Then we fry up some sausage patties or links or some bacon for a little protein to make a complete meal.

Aldi sells various waffle makers from time to time. We currently use a rotating waffle maker from Aldi. We’ve also seen the grocer stock a double rotating waffle maker and a traditional non-rotating waffle maker. In addition, Aldi sometimes sells mini waffle makers if you want a more fun-sized breakfast experience.

This Christmas season, Aldi is selling some mini waffle makers that make holiday-themed imprints in your waffles. Each mini waffle maker features either a gingerbread man, a Christmas tree, or a snowflake. These waffle makers also feature some Christmas colors such as red, green, and white. If you buy one of each, you’ll have the means to make an extra-festive brunch.

What We Know:

The Ambiano Holiday Mini Waffle Makers (Product Code: 705660 in 2022; Product Code: 839407 in 2024) cost $6.99 in December of 2024. That’s $1 less than the $7.99 they cost in November of 2023. They sold for $8.99 in 2022. This is another example of Aldi lowering prices on certain Aldi Finds in recent years. The Aldi mini waffle maker is also a cheaper price than any other mini waffle makers I found on Amazon, so these look to be a great deal if you’re in the market for mini waffle makers.

These are Aldi Finds, so they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back next holiday season. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that aren’t in stock at your local store.

Here’s more information about the waffle makers, according to Aldi:

• Available in Gingerbread Man, Snowflake, or Tree designs
• Compact design for space-saving storage
• Fast heating and efficient preparation in minutes
• Nonstick coating for effortless preparation and cleaning
• Includes ready indicator light

Aldi has not yet published dimensions for the 2024 waffle makers, but in 2022 they made 4-inch-diameter waffles. We’re assuming the 2024 model is similar.

What We Don’t Know:

We haven’t tried these mini waffle makers, so we don’t know how well they work or how well they hold up to use. We write open threads so readers can talk about Aldi products.
