Overview
At $20.99 the Brentwood RA25989 is entry-level pricing for a waffle iron. It weighs 3.0 lb and measures 9.6 x 11.1 x 5.6 inches, which is a manageable size for most kitchens. The blue plastic body is the most visually distinctive feature, setting it apart from the sea of black and silver appliances in this price range.
With 750 watts the RA25989 is on the lower end of power output among waffle irons. This is acceptable for making one or two waffles at a time, but recovery time between batches may be longer than higher-wattage models. The plastic body keeps the unit light and the cost low.
The 542-review count at 4.2 stars reflects modest but generally positive buyer experience. At this price it is hard to find a better-rated option, and for buyers with simple needs the RA25989 does the job.

Performance notes
750 W from a plastic body at 3.0 lb means the RA25989 is built for light-duty use. Its footprint of 9.6 x 11.1 x 5.6 inches is reasonable for a budget model. Voltage is not confirmed in available data, so buyers should verify standard US compatibility on the current listing.

Frequently asked questions
Does the blue color come off or fade with use?
The RA25989 uses a plastic exterior in blue. Plastic color is typically molded in rather than painted, so fading is less of a concern. However, harsh cleaning products or abrasive scrubbing on the outside can dull the finish over time. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended.
Is the Brentwood RA25989 good for kids to use?
The RA25989 is simple to operate with no complex controls, which suits straightforward cooking tasks. Like any heated appliance, it should always be supervised around children since the exterior and plates get hot during use. The lighter weight makes it easier for an adult to move safely.
How does the RA25989 compare to the Brentwood RA37668?
Both are budget Brentwood waffle irons at under $30. The RA37668 is priced at $26.99 and comes in white with stainless steel accents, while the RA25989 is $20.99 in blue with a plastic body. Both draw 750 watts. The RA37668 has a marginally lower review count but both carry similar 4.1 to 4.2-star averages.
