12,200 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
With 12,200 ratings and a 4.3-star average, the Babycakes CPM-20 is by far the most-reviewed cake pop maker in this roundup. That volume of feedback at a consistent rating is one of the strongest buying signals available when evaluating kitchen appliances.
At just $23.98 and 1.7 lb, the CPM-20 is the lightest and least expensive model in the Babycakes family. The compact 8.56 by 6.14 by 3.8 inch footprint makes it one of the easiest to store, fitting in a drawer or small cabinet space without trouble. The 500W draw keeps electricity use low.
The trade-off for the low price and light weight is a more modest heat output compared to the 760W MT-6 or 800W CP-12. For casual home bakers making a batch or two at a time, this barely matters. For anyone planning higher-volume output, the step up to the CP-12 or MT-6 is worth considering.
Pros
- Over 12,200 ratings at 4.3 stars, the most-reviewed model in the category
- At $23.98 it is the lowest-priced option in this lineup
- 1.7 lb weight makes it the lightest and easiest to move and store
- Tiny footprint of 8.56 by 6.14 inches fits in small kitchens easily
- Standard 120V plug, no special wiring required
Cons
- 500W is the lowest wattage in the Babycakes lineup, meaning slightly slower preheat
- Plastic build at 1.7 lb feels lightweight compared to the MT-6 or CP-12
- Small batch size limits production speed for larger events

Performance notes
The 500W draw on 120V is enough for light to moderate home use, but buyers looking for faster cooking cycles should look at the 800W CP-12. The 1.7 lb body and compact dimensions make this the best option for small kitchens or anyone who wants to pack it away completely between uses.
What buyers say
The sheer number of reviews is itself the clearest indicator of buyer confidence in this model. Positive feedback clusters around ease of use, cleanup, and price. Some buyers note that the batter fill line matters for getting uniform pops, and a light coat of oil spray before baking comes up repeatedly as a simple fix for any sticking.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the CPM-20 have so many more reviews than the other Babycakes models?
It is the lowest-priced model in the lineup, which puts it in reach of the widest range of buyers. More units sold naturally produces more reviews over time.
Is 500 watts enough power to cook cake pops properly?
Yes, for home-scale batches. The lower wattage means preheat takes a bit longer, but the end result is comparable to higher-wattage models when used as directed.
How does the CPM-20 fit in a small kitchen?
At 8.56 by 6.14 by 3.8 inches and 1.7 lb, it is compact enough to store in a kitchen drawer or on a shelf without taking up meaningful cabinet space.
