20 Best Belgian Waffle Maker With Removable Plates (2022 Updated)

Most important is that the waffles come out perfect, light and airy and perfectly browned. The second most important thing for me is that the grids come out and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The grids do need to be sprayed with oil so the waffles do not stick.

The last iron I had, I needed to wipe the grids with paper towels to get rid of the oil, however, not all the oil was absorbed. Eventually, it became rancid. The waffles were horrible! Thus, leading me to purchase a new waffle iron, even though the old one still worked.

I do wish there was a beeping alarm when the waffles were done, limiting my constant watch for the light. Overall, this waffle iron is great.

This waffle iron makes really nice waffles, and the waffles are easy to remove from the iron. I like that the iron plates are removable for washing, but the top and bottom iron plates are not reversible.

It’s possible to replace the iron plates backwards and then have the plates not stay in properly, which is scary when they’re heated up to several hundred degrees. Once we put the plates in backwards and everything seemed normal but then once the iron was hot and the waffles finished cooking, I opened the iron and the top plate was still on top of the waffle.

I closed the iron again and the next time, the waffle iron opened normally. I’d be much more comfortable using this waffle iron if top and bottom plates were exactly the same so it didn’t matter which one was placed in top and bottom, or if it was clearly indicated which was top and which was bottom.

Instead, I have to notice notch sizes.

I’m really happy with the purchase of the Krups Belgian Waffle Maker. The removable plates are what sold me, and I haven’t been disappointed. They are easy to remove, easy to clean, easy to replace. I’ve made two different waffle batter recipes and both turned out very well.

Adjustable heat setting allows you to make them as brown or crisp as you like, and I find the waffles very easy to remove once they are ready. I can see more waffles in my future because this makes making them a breeze!.

This is my second Krups waffler. I had the first one for more than 20 years. The waffles began to stick, and nothing I did prevented that. So, time for a new one. To make the waffles golden, I need to turn the color selector all the way to high.

When the ready signal goes off, they are beautifully golden. It takes longer than my previous waffler, but as long as I know that, I can adjust.

I like this Waffle/Pancake maker, but not as i do some of the other Cuisnart items i have purchase. First of, quality is somewhat lacking. It’s not as nicely made as i would have preferred it, especially for the price.

It works real well as a waffle maker, but in the video and the instructions that it should only use a certain amount and that the full area to be used should be limited (poured in the middle and to help prevent spillage) The problem i have is that it is designed to make four individual waffles, but an uneaten spread gives less of an unequal amount per waffle.

The waffles do come out fluffy and browned just right. I do not go higher than the number 3 due to the fact that the growing is much darker. As for the pancakes, they require the non-waffle plate and are somewhat of a joke.

I am not sure hoq it was meant to be used, but it comes four very small places to put your pancake batter and if you use those patterns, you only truly coke on one side and barely cook on the other when you close the lid.

If you over pour the patter to get it to cook both sides at the same time, they lose their pancake look. Another oddity, is that the pancakes are only about three inches in diameter, which in my opinion, are somewhat uncomfortable small, especially for stacking for an adult.

After our 30-year-old waffle maker finally died, we bought a lower-priced unit. It didn’t brown evenly and was small. We then bought yet another highly-rated unit and it was okay but the waffles were very thick and not what we wanted so we returned it.

We then decided to bite-the-bullet and purchased the more expensive but highly rated Cuisinart. After two uses we couldn’t be more pleased! It browns evenly and is easy to clean. We like the thickness of the waffles, not too thick, not too thin; just right (for us.

) We can highly recommend it, if you can afford it.

Basically it makes waffles. Nice design. The reversible plates are a good idea. Especially for cleaning. But since the non-waffle side(s) have raised, cast rings to contain an egg, they can’t be used for anything else.

You can’t have it open and flat on the countertop to cook on both sides simultaneously. To make pancakes or cook bacon, for example. The blinking lights and dings to signal temperature are nice. They will probably be the first feature to stop working.

Lightweight materials, not as heavy and substantial as the unit we replaced.

To start, I loved using this waffle maker for the first 2 years that I’ve had it. It makes beautiful waffles. I considered this All-Clad model against a few other top-rated waffle makers and although it was the most expensive I went for it believing it would last a good, long time.

I was wrong. All-Clad offers a 2-year limited warranty for kitchen electrics. Just 2 months passed the 2-year warranty, the waffle maker started to smoke and became super-hot while using it. At this point the ‘Ready’ light stopped working.

Because we make waffles on a fairly regular basis, I found a way to use it on the lowest ‘1’ setting for no more than 1 minute cooking. I finally decided in July 2022 to contact All-Clad customer service to see what support is available since this waffle maker is CLEARLY DEFECTIVE.

To my disappointment, after sharing all of these details with them, I received a one sentence response stating, “Unfortunately, your product is more than a year past its warranty, we regret that are not able to issue the warranty for this product.

” First, my product is not more than a year passed its warranty based upon the purchase date of 12/2/19 (expired 12/2/21). Second, waffle makers should not perform like this only 2 years after purchase.

Especially higher-priced models like this one. Third, even when the product is outside of its warranty period a company should still offer some level of support to ensure their customers are taken care of and customers for life.

Many companies offer a promo code to go towards the purchase of a new model or the opportunity to have the item repaired. I’m now stuck with an expensive, broken waffle maker that doesn’t work as All-Clad states it should.

If you decide to purchase this model, you will enjoy it pending there are no issues. But, if you end up with any notable quality issues outside its warranty you are on your own. You will not get any additional support from this company.

I really wanted to like this waffle maker. I bought it based on really good reviews. I received it and it tripped the GFCI outlets on all three circuits in my kitchen. Tried it in the bathroom as well and it did the same thing.

All circuits are 20 amp circuits and function properly. Plugged into a standard outlet and it worked fine. For it to trip all of these GFCI circuits, it indicates an electrical problem internally (voltage getting to ground which could cause a shock- when the outlets sense this they trip).

My toaster oven pulls more power and works in all of the tested outlets for the record. This indicated it was an issue with the unit vs. another problem (overloaded circuit, worn out GFCI, etc. ). Called WS and great customer service.

Got it returned and another unit sent. Same problem on the replacement. Trips a GFCI circuit every time. All-Clad has an electrical problem in their circuit. Not sure if it is a bad batch of parts that made it into production, or a bad design.

For what it’s worth, I tried making a waffle plugged into a standard outlet and it did great. The only negative is that the latch gets HOT. You have to make sure you don’t have it latched when the unit is hot or you will burn yourself trying to raise the lid.

Not worth the safety risk to keep it and plug into a non-GFCI outlet though. Returned the second unit as well.

I was very excited to try out my new Belgian waffle maker from All-Clad. The first thing I noticed was the extra-deep cooking surface which creates deep waffle pockets to capture all of the toppings.

Cooking is a breeze. Choose the cook time and when it’s pre-heated, a beep and green LED will notify you. Add your special batter, close the lid and the maker does the rest. The non-stick cooking surface makes it very easy to remove the waffles and allows for easy clean-up.

There’s also an overflow tray in the back to catch any excess batter. When you’re done cooking and the maker has cooled, there’s a locking feature that allows you to store the unit vertically. One thing to note, is that the exterior surfaces do get hot, so I’ll make sure to cook on a clean surface.

I love it and can’t wait to impress my friends/family.

I got the Cuisinart round classic brushed stainless steel waffle maker for a few reasons. I wanted to get an entry level waffle maker without spending much money so I could get a good Baseline on possibly moving on to a higher-end model down the line.

this one fit the bill. but only because it’s almost half off when I got it. at full price, don’t bother. this machine is NOT a $55 piece of equipment. the hinge is a little flimsy. the temperature dial is loose and inaccurate with a very large dead zone.

an entire numbers worth. so if for example you push it up to four, and then pull it back down to three, unless you feel the resistance of the mechanism turning on the inside, you’re not actually changing the temperature.

you have to push it past where you want it. if you see it at full price, skip it and get one of the better ones for the same price, or a little bit more. this doesn’t make the Belgian style waffles with the really wide, deep pockets.

this makes a wider, more traditional American waffle with smaller, shallower pockets. that’s a matter of preference. if it’s not what you’re looking for, skip it. to answer the big question, yes, this waffle iron CAN make crispy waffles.

I make them with the setting very slightly above three. I’ve never been able to make crispy waffles before, but then I tried adding cornstarch and sure enough they came out crispy. if you’re going to make a sizable batch, have the oven preheated to 200 or so and stick them on the rack in there when they’re done.

they will stay warm and moisture won’t condense on them and make them floppy. I’m seeing too many mixed opinions on how to properly Grease the waffle iron before putting in the batter, and how to clean it, so I opted for the safe route.

I didn’t use any spray oil, as that can supposedly make non-stick coatings tacky. instead I just brushed vegetable oil onto the iron with a pastry brush. your first batch of waffles should not be eaten.

those are sacrificial waffles that should be cooked at a higher Heat until they’re more Brown than they should be. I did two of them like this. I oiled it both times. it helps season the iron and pull out any dust or chemicals.

after that, I have it oiled it again. and I’ve had no stickage whatsoever. to clean up I just rub with a moist paper towel, making sure I get between every Groove and as much of the inner surface as I can.

it’s not a flip waffle maker, so there’s no good way to make sure the batter is distributed entirely evenly, so what I did was just find the parts that don’t get hot, then as soon as I put the batter in, which is a half scoop for me, I close it and flip it over for about 10 to 20 seconds, and then set it back down properly.

hands off until it mostly stops steaming. at the end of the day, like I said, for what it is it’s good. just don’t expect the Moon from it because it won’t, nor was it designed to give that to you.

At our house, we almost always eat home made sourdough bread made with mostly whole wheat flour, often with a bit of white flour and other grains mixed in. So when my large mixer bit the dust, making bread became more difficult.

First I shopped for a new large mixer. But as I noticed how nice it was to have more counter space without a great big heavy mixer sitting there, I looked at smaller, hand mixers. I needed one that had a powerful motor, but that would start slowly, so as not to shoot flour and other ingredients out of the bowl in which I was mixing.

After many days of research, I picked this one by Cuisinart. Reading many reviews, I found that this one had fewer difficulties listed. and more advantages. Now that I have used it for mixing sourdough, I’m really glad I did.

The dough hooks have a much better design than other hand mixers, and that plus the power of the motor make this mixer take on the job of mixing sourdough almost as well as my old stand mixer did.

This waffle maker makes very large thick waffles that easily separates into 4 pieces. It uses 1 cup of batter per waffle. And most recipes in book make 4 waffles. I freeze the extras and warm them in toaster as needed.

I cook mine on 31/2 to 4 for a golden color. The first one cooks perfectly but the rest cook a little uneven in places but it doesn’t affect taste at all. I prefer them a little lighter if I intend to freeze and reheat later.

Follow directions on pouring batter in bottom half then spreading it around. If not immediately serving each one, then place on rack to help keep them crisper. If you stack they will become soft. I make the yeast pancake recipe in book.

Takes 5 min to make the day before. Refrigerate. Ready to cook when I get up. No morning prep to do. Delicious. I’m very happy with this product. Waited for it to go on sale at kohls plus used a 30% off coupon.

I was searching for the perfect waffle maker that would stand the test of time, and I think this is the one! I know that the recipe has alot to do with a great waffle, but having an iron that constantly makes crisp, fluffy waffles is the best way to compliment that recipe.

After family members have had these waffles, I can’t go visit unless I bring my waffle iron with me. I have had some to stick, split it two, and come out in little pieces, but I say, “Parfait, here we come!” It even does up killer cornbread waffles that pair well with coleslaw and BBQ! Excellent investment for a great time!!!.

I have had an AllClad Waffle Maker for about 6 years that has seen weekly use, so I knew this would be high quality. My oldest daughter now owns that one and it is still going strong. I wanted to replace it with the same Brand, and have been very impressed with the additional improvements this model has.

First, the washable plates are a godsend, not because they get particularly dirty as they are nonstick, but because I just can’t help myself and *want* to clean them. They pop in and out very easily, and don’t affect the performance of the waffle iron at all.

I can keep it squeaky clean and not worry about little crumbs or oil in my cabinet. The digital display is well thought out, with a countdown to when it is ready, and many selections for different kinds of waffles.

There’s even one for Gluten Free! Another great feature, especially knowing you can wash the plates so thoroughly between different types of waffles, if you have guests that are very sensitive to gluten.

The dials for the display are great, and easily understood. I am really glad they used dials instead of buttons to constantly push for selection. Very easy to use. The handle for opening the waffle iron is angled slightly higher than my old one, which makes it very easy to see the digital screen and is easier to grab on to.

The steam vents are pretty cool, to make the waffle crispier and also give another way to tell when they might be ready, as the steam starts to subside as they finish cooking. I like how they angle the steam to the front corners, so it doesn’t get my overhead cabinet all steamy, but if you have small children you will want to make sure this isn’t at a counter edge as it gets quite hot and the steam can be a lot at first.

The waffles that come out of this iron are *perfect* and to me that is the best part of all. As with my older AllClad waffle iron, the heating element on this model is perfectly designed to heat evenly and quickly to make beautiful golden waffles.

The only negative thing I can say about this, and this is really minor, is that while you get to know the settings and what works for your recipes etc, it sometimes beeps a lot and I couldn’t figure out how to make it stop, LOL.

I’m pretty sure that is user error and I will figure out my favorite settings and it won’t be a problem. If you are a weekly waffler, this is the one to get. It makes four at a time, and that makes quick work of feeding a family.

There is even a reheat setting, if someone oversleeps and gets to the table late and the waffles have cooled. They really managed to improve an already great waffle maker, and I expect this will last a long, long time.

I have been so disappointed in this waffle maker and even more disappointed that All-Clad does not stand by its products. I was excited to use it and did a lot of research before purchasing it. But I’ve now tried multiple batter recipes with this waffle maker, including some that have produced delicious waffles on another machine.

Even on a low setting, this waffle maker makes waffles that are too crispy and not at all fluffy. I wanted to return it because I was so disappointed with the results, but All-Clad absolutely will not accept a return if the product has been opened.

In fact, even if it is defective, they will only repair it, not replace it. I strongly advise getting another waffle maker rather than splurging on this one.

I purchased two of these; one for myself and one as a gift for a friend. I did that because I liked the description of the unit, the look, the fact that it made the thicker Belgian style Waffles and that the maker has a “CRISPER” selector dial.

I like my waffles crisp and brown on the exterior, fluffy on the interior. Plus, the price was good. I really like the all black look of the Waffle Maker. The power cord is long enough to reach an outlet without stretching the cord taught.

I found the Pre-Cleaning of the waffle grates a bit time consuming and tedious, as they are not removable and you cannot submerge the item, or even pass it under a stream of water; it is not water tight at all.

On my first attempt at a waffle (I used Krusteaz Crisp Waffle Mix), I oiled the waffle grates with extra lite olive oil (you cannot ever use spray oils), and heated the unit until the ready light came on.

That first time, I did not place enough batter on the waffle grates, so that waffle was thin and as I had not turned the dial high enough, it wasn’t as dark as I would have liked. For my second waffle, I made certain I filled the provided plastic measuring cup with batter and turned the Crispness knob to number 5.

I also left the waffle cooking a bit longer after the ready light turned blue for extra doneness. I was much happier with this waffle. It had a nice brown color, was fluffy inside, however it was not really crispy.

Next time, I am going to use one of the recipes provided with the waffle maker. That recipe opposed to a box mix, will likely provide better results. I will update this review later, once I have experimented with a few recipes, cooking times, etc.

Picked this up from the store today and brought it home to try out. I made my batter and used the cup and recommended amount for thin batter. After pouring the batter and closing the lid for the first waffle, some of the batter leaked out the side.

For the second waffle, the same thing happened. So much for spill proof sides. The waffles cooked pretty fast on the “3rd” cooking setting and they were tasty. Perhaps I’ll use slightly less batter and hope for the best.

But for only 14. 99 for the sale price I paid, I’ll keep it and keep experimenting with how much batter to add.

It’s a waffle maker. I love waffles so I had to buy this thing. Well it does what it needs to and it’s not really messy. Careful not too overfill. Learned that the hard way. Anyways waffles come out great.

If you like them more crisper than put it in for another round. Not sure about the whole non stick but I butter the surface of the machine just in case. Washing the appliance can be a challenge. For the price its solid but I’m sure there are more wll put together appliances out there.

I got this for a really good deal so not too dissatisfied with the product.

After buying this waffle maker I have made perfect waffles for breakfast every day! This waffle maker was exactly what I was looking for. I really love that the grids are so easily detachable for washing after every use.

After a few uses here’s my advice for the best waffles: For 1 Waffle 1 cup pancake/waffle mix (I recommend Kodiak Cakes mix, it’s 100% whole grains and adds 28g of protein per waffle, but tastes like regular mix!) 3/4 cup water 1 tbsp olive oil (to prevent any sticking on the grids) Be sure to mix with a whisk for optimal batter consistency! No need to spray the grids before adding batter, I have never had any sticking issues following these instructions.

After putting the batter into the waffle maker and flipping it, I only unflipped when I could no longer see any steam coming out of it. There is a green light that indicates when the waffle is ready, however, I read some reviews about instead waiting for all the steam to be gone and found that to be a much better indicator for a ready and fully cooked waffle! Following these instructions has always made the best, easiest, and healthiest waffles! Enjoy! Now I can’t wait to host brunches and make waffles for all my friends!! A purchase worth the price in my opinion! I’ve probably already saved hundreds of dollars making my own waffles vs ordering in!.

Overall a good waffle maker for the price. I really love that the plates are removable for washing. However, I’m disappointed in the temperature setting—at the highest setting (3) I cannot get my waffles to have crisp edges.

Belgian waffles are supposed to be tall and crispy on the outside, but soft inside. Mine certainly came out tall and soft inside, but not crispy at all.

Bought this to replace a different brand. The removable plates are nice and easy to get in and out. It is quite large and the folding handle really doesn’t do all that much for me in terms of decreasing the required storage space.

The folding handle is pretty cheap and bound to break pretty quick. Another design oversight is that when you flip the waffle over, the cord twists. For the price, you can buy a more reputable brand product and get more quality for your money I feel.

We’re not planning to keep it.

I like this waffle maker. I wasnt sure about it at first, but the more im using it, the more i like it. It can make some delicious golden, crispy belgian waffles. The trick is to make sure to butter the plates and let the waffles completely cook the steam out to get then golden and crispy.

Also, batter does matter. I was using the Kodiak Cakes batter at first which never really crisped up much. I tried a Krusteaz batter and their recipe for waffles, and those turned out perfect. Next, the price is very very affordable! It is cheaply made, and isnt an attractive appliance, but it does the job.

The plates are quite thin and feel kinda cheap, but the nonstick is working so far and while it says it can be in the dishwasher, i have stuck to handwashing because i dont trust that the plates wont get damaged in the dishwasher.

It’s nice to be able to take the plates out to wash them afterwards. It has a locking lid which is nice for cooking and storing the appliance. It heats up quick and the lights on the device work. Overall, very pleased with this appliance and definitely recommend it.

A bit more pricey, but it makes more waffles with each use and is easy to get clean. My last waffle maker didn’t clean up very well. I did find it takes longer to get the waffle browned compared to my previous one, so you may need to experiment a little in that sense.

This was a good buy from my perspective, after a few weeks of use.

I waited a while for this product to be in stock. Delayed a few times (I ordered in April and it arrived in July) but I can honestly say it was worth the wait! I’ve used it quite a bit since I got it and I love the removable plates, adjustable heat setting and gorgeous design! I soak the plates in hot soapy water and I use a bottle brush to really get it clean and I use a microfiber cloth to keep the outside clean and shiny.

I read dozens of reviews on different products and ultimately decided on this one and my family and I, all agree, we LOVE IT! If you are reading reviews and are trying to decide which one to buy, let this be that review and invest in this one! Hands down, amazing waffle maker/purchase!!.

I’ve owned this waffle maker for over 6 months now and use it at least once a week. It has 6 time settings on it for you to find the perfect amount of crispness. As far as making waffles, this waffle maker is perfect.

My waffles come out a perfect golden brown every time. My complaints are with the measuring scoop that comes with the waffle maker and how difficult it is to clean. The scoop provided to scoop out your mix is too small for the amount you need to create a full waffle.

I usually end up needing 1. 5 scoops to get the right amount of waffle mix. And cleaning this waffle maker is near impossible. You can’t remove the grooved plates to scrub and rinse between the grooves and wiping it with a paper towel doesn’t get down in them either.

I absolutely love this machine so I having to spend the extra time trying to get it clean is worth it!.

The turning mechanism broke the second time I used it. I had owned it for just 9 days. I went to turn the waffle maker as designed (there are arrows telling which direction to turn) and it got stuck in the upside down position with the waffle in it.

I am extremely disappointed as it looks like the plastic parts of the turning mechanism became misaligned. When I was finally able to get the iron to turn, a small piece of broken plastic fell out of the turning mechanism and it was not able to turn properly ever again.

Thankfully I had my receipt and was able to return it to the store. Honestly, before the turning mechanism broke, I was extremely pleased by the waffles this maker turned out. The heat setting worked really well and it made waffles that were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Before it broke I would have given it 4 stars.

The new kitchen appliance hero of our home, the Cuisinart Double Belgian Waffle Maker. Waffles are a bit of a ritual in our family as we make them every Saturday mornings. It’s one of those breakfasts that my kids look forward to every weekend, but now even more so without having to wait! Out of the box, I was impressed that it wasn’t that much larger than our single waffle maker which is great as it doesn’t take that much more real estate in our cabinets.

I noticed that the Cuisinart Waffle Maker is sturdy and well designed. The pans open and close with ease and the rotary flip feature works smoothly without any award hiccups. My older single waffle maker (another brand) tended to jam up every now and again while flipping, and I was happy not to experience this with the Cuisinart Double Waffle Maker.

We love this waffle maker because we can cook two waffles at the same time, so neither of my kids need to fight over who gets the first delicious hot out of the pan waffle. It’s so easy that I can make this with my 3-year-old son (with supervision… hot iron and all).

Another feature that I love is the 5-setting browning control which allows you to dial in the perfect waffle. Like waffles that are light and fluffy, use setting 1 or 2, but if you like dark and crispy waffles like me, use setting 3 or 4.

Either way, you end up with perfectly cooked waffles in 3 to 4 minutes every time. The built-in audible alert, Ready-to-Bake, and Ready-to-Eat indicators makes for easy waffle making each and every time.

If you’ve got family of 4 or more that enjoys and makes waffles on the regular, then Cuisinart’s Double Flip Belgian Waffle Maker is definitely for you!.

This is actually the second Cuisinart ® Double Belgian Waffle Makers I have purchased. This second one, I purchased for my grown son’s Birthday. Although he had a waffle maker it only made one at a time, not enough for a family.

He said, clean up was a nightmare and it cooked very unevenly. But one Sunday, when the whole family was over for brunch at my house, he saw it, used it and fell in love. After that, I was dragging mine back and forth between houses until the birthday idea hit me! It made an excellent gift, he was so happy to have his own and I was happy not to drag my around any longer.

It is a bit heavy but that is because it is so well made. It is perfect for two and for a crowd because you can make two huge waffles at a time. For larger crowds cut them in half or fourths to quickly serve four to eight and while everyone is getting started, just pour in more batter and the next round is ready in about 90 seconds, super quick.

It’s amazing! Cuisinart even has a “how to” video on their website, which is perfect for first time use. https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=ntd6jr-hLkk The Cuisinart ® Double Belgian Waffle Maker comes with recipes, and a measuring cup that allows you to pour in that perfect amount every time.

Homemade waffle mix is the best but there are those “just add water “mixes as well, that work great for those times when you are in a rush or short on ingredients. How do gingerbread waffles at the holidays sound? Another great feature is the browning control knob that lets you adjust the doneness of your waffle so it will be perfectly to your liking every time.

Clean up is easy too because of the non-stick coating. You will not be disappointed.

I’d consider this waffle maker similar or better to the ones used daily in hotels with self-serve breakfast. The quality is amazing. Very well made and does not feel or look cheap whatsoever. Its very simple to use.

I’d recommend to ensure the maker is properly preheated prior to use as it makes a difference but you really cant mess this up. The browning setting allows you to make the waffles to your desired taste with the light indicator and beeping prevent overheating.

Each waffle pops out of the non-stick plate easily, without a mess allowing a very easy clean up. The kids love using this with their friends during morning weekend. Great overall product!.

This unit functions beautifully. It is a little hard to clean since it does not come apart and it is a bit cumbersome, but the non-stick surface cleans easily. We had a waffle maker that made one at at time and it was hard to use for guests because it took a while to produce enough while keeping the first hot.

I broke it trying to clean it so I looked for a replacement that would be sturdier. The double capacity of this unit. We has been great for guests – easier to keep waffles coming for a group! Our grandkids love it!.

Love love love this waffle maker! First waffle maker we’ve ever owned and could not be happier with this purchase. Sunday morning waffles for my baby and she’s happy all week! Fellas, do yourselves a favor and buy this and make your lady waffles!!! Pays for itself within a year if you went out once a week for waffles.

The media could not be loaded. Fast , easy to use but black build up causing waffles to stick and split. Despite research on best waffle making tips and waffle iron care our second tome using Waring products with same sticky results.

First time we used canola oil spray, a big non no best practices. Switched to golden malted grid conditioner and silicone bruse cleaning after every use. WITH LESS blacking but still ruined the plates which are not replaceable.

I will be returning this waffle maker to my Walmart store. It’s inexpensive, looks nice, super easy to clean because of the removable plates, and cooks a nice waffle if the waffle maker is preheated.

But, it is difficult to make more than two waffles, because it is slow to reheat. It is a 800 watts waffle maker. Perhaps if it had more wattage, then maybe it would reheat faster. But lesson learned, I will be purchasing a 4 piece waffle maker to avoid this problem in the future.

I hope that the next waffle maker I purchase will reheat faster to make 4 more if needed. If not, at least it will serve the purpose of making 4 waffles at one time. This waffle maker does have a lot of negative reviews regarding how slow it cooks.

I remember I had a waffle maker many years ago that made a circular waffle. I do not believe I spent a lot of money on the purchase. I remembered it cooked fast, regardless how many waffles I was making.

However, the cleanup was so horrible, I vowed to never purchase another waffle maker. Until 4 days ago, when I realized they now make waffle makers with removable plates for an easy cleanup. Bottom line is, if you only need to make two waffles, than for the price, this waffle maker will be perfect for you.

It browns more on the bottom than the top. Followed directions to the letter. Good non stick plates. But it takes a long time to heat up to ready for cooking waffles. 2/3 cup works without overflow of batter.

I even took out the waffles to cook the flip side better. But you have to wait for the ready light to cook. This added more time for cooking that my husband got tired of waiting. No complaints about the waffles good shape, size and taste.

Good for the price. If waffles were a big deal in my house I’d go for a better model. This is my first time owning one, but I know enough to see what works and what doesn’t. All irons I looked at had one draw back or other.

I didn’t want to spend big bucks on an item I never used before. This one was cheap and, if it didn’t work out I wouldn’t be so upset about it. Will continue to use it cause I like a waffle now and then.

I’ve had this waffle maker for about 2 years and it’s been used every week for our Waffle Wednesday, so I think I’m in a pretty good place to give this a proper review. The reason I bought this in the first place is because of 1.

the removable plates, and 2. it was a “Belgian” waffle maker (as in, it makes thick waffles, not thin like Eggos). The removable plates were a good idea, but I would never put the plates in the dishwasher, because the back of the plate looks unfinished with exposed heating elements.

It is convenient to wash them in the sink, but I’ve noticed some sticking when I washed them regularly, so now I’m back to wiping them down with paper towel after every use. This waffle maker makes waffles that are definitely thicker than “American” styled waffles like Eggos, but it’s not truly a “Belgian Waffle Maker”.

It’s kind of in between Belgian and American Style, leaning slightly more towards Belgian. if this makes any sense. Also, I don’t make Belgian waffles often (referring to yeast-y Belgian waffle doughs), so the American waffle batters I use is too thin that it doesn’t really get that rise during the cooking process.

This is not the fault of the machine, but really the batter that I use. I wanted to mention this, because I saw some comments below that talked about this issue – it’s the batter, not the machine! With that said, I don’t think this waffle is neither spectacular nor trash.

It does what it does, make waffles, and it heats the whole plate pretty evenly. The reason why I’m not raving about this being the last waffle maker you’ll ever own, is because over the last couple of years of regular use, I’ve noticed the heating getting weaker starting only a few months into using this machine.

I started out using this on setting 3, but when that wasn’t getting hot enough anymore, I switched it up to 4, and as of this week, we’re up to 5. The first waffle comes out the best. I brush on canola oil to the plate before every batter, and the first time when I heat up the waffle maker, it gets pretty hot that the waffle comes out nice and crispy.

Waffles after the first batch starts to come out lighter and as my toddler calls it “floppy and squishy” – even if I let it heat up in between batters and keep the batter in longer. So I’m now looking for a new waffle maker.

It stores well, you can also store it upright. But I’d like it if there was a built-in cord management.

This is my first waffle make, so I wanted to make sure I bought one with good reviews and a reputable company like Cuisinart. This waffle maker did not disappoint. It’s super easy to use. Turn it on – wait a couple of minutes for it to reach the desired (programmed) temperature – it then beeps to let you know that it’s ready – pour your batter, and after a few minutes (5-7 min.

) your waffles are done. They come out golden brown, nice and soft and a little crispy on the outside. I never thought I would like to make my own Belgian waffles at home, but BOY are these good! No more frozen waffles for me.

It’s a good size: not too big or small. It fits nicely in a cupboard with chord wrapped. I recommend this product.

I was looking forward to getting a nice Belgian waffle maker, and with it being the Cuisinart brand and stellar reviews it seemed like an easy decision to purchase this waffle maker. Had I been able to find it available in-store I never would have purchased it.

While some may appreciate how light this waffle maker is, to me it seems like it is made with cheap materials- nothing like any other Cuisinart product I’ve owned. It does what it was designed to do, albeit not the traditional big, thick Belgian waffles most people are familiar with.

This item makes four small waffles about a half inch thick. It’s simply not worth the higher and typically worth it Cuisinart price tag.

I bought it on sale but am still a little disappointed. I find it doesn’t get hot enough to brown the waffles nicely. There is no temperature control. The element is on or off according to a built in temperature threshold.

So you need to just cook it longer than when the indicator goes out saying it’s ready but it still didn’t brown as I hoped. I’ll keep it though and try to find the magic formula and timing. I don’t make them too often.

If a frequent user I would buy one with a few more features and temperature control.

This waffle maker is the worst in existence or at least offered by Canadian tire. If you want a waffle maker that takes 10mins per waffle for an undercook waffle, or 5min if you want a raw centered waffle this is the one to get, it also has a handle gap so if using a non dough like recipe spillover happens and waffle batter with get trapped between it causing a future health issue as the only way to get remnants out is with a pick or knife.

Temperature is just too low on this to actually cook anything. We have the basic adjustable Cuisinart waffle maker sold by Canadian tire that will do laps around this all day, this one was purchased for use out at a recreational property and its just like gonna be trashed as i dont have the original box anymore due to packing constraints at the time.

Avoid and just get the Cuisinart one when its on sale.

Great little machine for the price. Easy to operate. Would be nice if there was an overflow catch but once you perfect your batter ratio you don’t really need it. Occasionally there a moisture dripping on it but again that comes with perfecting your batter ratio.

For the price it is a great little machine that does not take up much counter space at all. Our kids love it and it’s a great change from pancakes.
