Overview
The Brentwood TS-253 is a compact 750-watt waffle maker that bakes three mini animal-shaped waffles (giraffe, elephant, and lion) at a time on non-stick plates.
- Bakes 3 mini animal-shaped waffles at once
- 750 watts, non-stick plates
- Cool touch handle
- Power and preheat indicator lights
Who it's for
Good for parents making a fun breakfast or snack for young kids, or as a gift for grandparents who host sleepovers. Not suited to anyone wanting standard adult-portion waffles, since each animal shape only holds a small amount of batter.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Parents and grandparents buying this for kids consistently call it cute and easy to use, with waffles cooking faster than the printed instructions suggest. The recurring gripes are that portions are quite small, that heat isn't fully even across the plate so thin parts like necks and tails can burn or undercook, and that batter needs to be thinned and often piped in to fill the shapes cleanly.

Questions about the Brentwood RA25989
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How big are the waffles from the Brentwood TS-253?
They're small, bite-size portions shaped like animals; several reviewers specifically note they're smaller than expected for a full breakfast.
Does the batter need to be a special consistency?
Reviewers recommend a thinner batter poured or piped in, since thick batter doesn't fill the narrow shapes like the giraffe's neck and horns well.
Can you choose which animal shapes you get?
Not reliably; at least one buyer ordered expecting one shape and received a different one instead.
