Revel Tortilla Flat Bread Maker with 120-volt Temperature Control

I have bought this product at least 2 times and used it. I also have bought few other brands like Brentwood. This is the only one that easily produces a flat and even roti or tortilla. Most other ones will produce roti that is very thin on one side or will be so uneven that you have to redo it two three different directions and then it does not puff well or becomes very hard or wont break into biting pieces easily. This product is also not perfect until you master the dove softness and right size, but once you get that this will product even roti. Yes it is not 100% perfect, you may get little thinner one side sometimes, but you do it once and then heat it up on a pan, you get a very nice roti. I wouldnt recommend to roti on the machine, you also need to use little spray oil so that it does not stick and presses slightly easier as well. Brentwood is the worst one and other brands not as good either. Most of these machines will last 2 years max as long you prevent oil from getting on the wires and keep it clean. This is one the best value for the money.

Bought new unit in July. After a single use, it stopped working. Tried to trouble shoot but no success. Contacted Amazon who asked me to contact seller as it was past 30 days after purchase. Seller showed no interest in solving my issue or retaining a customer by either replacing the unit or trying to fix it. They promptly referred me back to Amazon who refunded part of the purchase price. Three strikes against the manufacturer/seller Revel- one, poor quality as unit did not even last 1 year. Two, does not even try to fix the issue or replace the unit. That would allow them to build goodwill and also try to understand why unit failed. Last but not the least, seems they already know that unit is of poor quality so they dump it on Amazon to deal with it. Thanks for the lesson. No more Revel products for my household!!

The machine sent to us is not working.The lights that are supposed to appear on top on the machine when plugged in are not appearing and Also the machine it self is not heating

I bought this to replace an earlier model that got lost in transit when we moved. It is a real handy helper to have when making tortillas. Follow the recipe for flour tortillas in the little recipe book that comes with it. I make a few changes - - - They get eaten so fast that I make a larger amount: 3 cups of unbleached, all purpose flour, 3/4 tsp salt,6 Tbls good quality solid stick margarine (cut into small pieces) 1 cup warm water. I also use a little baking powder - a tsp. or so. I mix the dough quickly in a food processor. and put it in an airtight plastic container when it is mixed. Handle the dough as litle as possible. Let it rest in a cool place for an hour or two. Use the hottest setting when shaping the tortillas.I feel that this tortilla maker is not meant to cook the tortillas - only to shape them and leave on the bottom plate (the hottest part) for a minute or two, so the don't stick together when stacked. We always cook our tortillas over a gas stove burner, one at a time. Store them is an airtight manner in the fridge - they will keep for several days.I went into such a long review of this product because some reviewers didn't feel that it performed in a satisfactory manner. I find it to be an excellent product when used properly. I love mine, and so does my husband who grew eating his Mom's hommade tortllas.

This might be the best tortilla press on the planet but after only 4-5 uses, and less than one year, it stopped functioning. On contacting the seller we were told to ship it back for a prompt replacement. After 2 weeks, and a shipping cost of $16, having not heard about the product the seller admitted that they were clueless about the return and asked for additional information. Therefore, my very poor rating revolves around the fact that I didn't get to use the original product for more than a few months and am dealing with a very poor seller. Watch out for this seller.

When we insert the ball at the center of the tortillas press the top of the tortilla is too thin and the bottom is too thick. I've been having to press it several times and then I get tough tortillas. I imagine it is just a matter of time and practice but the electric tortilla press we had before this worked easily and perfect for pressing and cooking.

We've made corn and flour torillas. The most important thing to get right is the consistency of your dough. If its too dry, tortilla breaks up when pressing. The next thing is - don't press too hard or it gooes out of the sides. It takes a bit of trial and error but in the long run you can end up with an awesome tortilla!! We finished ours up in a dry skillet to brown them up a bit. Very easy clean up.

Back for our second one, Amazon shows this one lasted us 11 years. Took trial and error: let the dough sit for awhile first, and the first smash is the most important. Here’s for another 11 years of tortillas with this one!
