I bought these appliances ready for a visit from overseas family which took a long time to happen because of COVID. Now they have returned home, I have no further use for them.
The Cuisinart ice cream maker has only been used twice with great success. It is very simple to use and makes ice cream, sorbet or frozen yoghurt in about 20 minutes. These were over $400 new . Now a fraction of the price: $40.
The Davis and Waddell electric fondue set comes complete with 8 forks and can be used for either fondue Bourguignonne (meat) or cheese fondue. Just fill, plug in and use with up to 8 people. Great fun ! Only been used twice from new and now only $ 60 !
We never got around using the mini waffle maker, so it is still brand new and has its box. $20
Appliances come with instructions/recipes.
If interested, please TEXT me on 0272484333

NB. Ice cream maker has been sold!
