Best Waffle Makers With Reviews

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who loves waffles, this waffle bowl maker is super fun to use and get creative with. It doesn’t take long to make the waffle bowls. Just a couple of minutes. I did have to spray it so the pancake mix wouldn’t stick to the bowl plates. But as long as you wipe it down afterwards, it works perfectly fine. Easier to clean than a normal waffle maker in my opinion. And no buttons to worry about. Just plug it in and once it’s heated up, the light will turn on. Then just pour your waffle mix to the line and close it up. It’s that easy. Thank you so very much for sending this to me. It was like a Christmas present!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Hamilton Beach Belgian Style Waffle Baker in exchange for my honest review and I could not be happier. I have always wanted a waffle cooker and this one is perfect. Its so easy to mix up your waffle batter and create a quick and fun breakfast for the family. Directions are clear, and after spraying with a non-stick spray and heating the unit, you can have 4 waffles in a matter of minutes. The waffles were delicious and there were no issues with them sticking. Clean up was a breeze by simply wiping down the grates twice after fully cooling, once with a mildly soapy paper towel and again with a wet paper towel. Then let the unit completely air dry before putting away. Storage is easy with the cord wrap and standing the unit on its back end. I am sure we will get many uses from this waffle baker and I can't wait to impress company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This waffle maker is super easy to use. Choose a setting, turn it over and wait for the green ready light. There are 3 settings to choose from, I use number 3 for waffles that are crunchy on the outside but soft inside. The waffles are cooked in 5 - 8 minutes! The tray below catches any spills which makes cleaning fast (this is one of my favorite features.) The grids are easily removed by pushing a button. They are non-stick so no stuck on goo. My second favorite part is the handle folds for storage (although I can see why some people would think it's to flip the waffle maker.) I am extremely pleased with this waffle maker and I have converted, goodbye pancakes, Hello Waffles!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this stands upright for storage. Makes it so easy to take it out rather than storing on top of/ or under something. The first time it was heated it, it had a horrible smell. I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t gotten all the soap off from the first washing although I did rinse it twice (with clean towel). I let it cool down and started over. No bad smell but I did throw out the first waffle (only need to do when waffle iron brand new) following directions for another waffle iron I use to have. It doesn’t make quite as deep as a Belgian waffle but it is not as thin as a typical waffle either. The waffles didn’t stick and didn’t leave any crumbs on the grid (big plus for me!), which may have been because I didn’t have any butter on hand so used oil in my recipe. I still wish it had removable grids. I really like that you can pick the crispness you want although the highest setting was not any browner (4 stars only) then any of the other settings – the difference of the waffle as far as crisp or soft isn’t a great difference on any of the settings. The difference was very subtle but I liked the lowest setting and family members like the highest. The top grid heats higher than the bottom one – top of waffle browner then bottom. In the instructions there is no indication of how much batter you can put in the maker. Ugh! I didn’t want it over flowing so the first few were too small until I figured out how much the “right” amount was. Also when I searched if any recipes for this maker found it is no longer made. So makes the question if I would recommend this product rather obsolete. Over all this isn’t a bad little waffle maker, do I wish it had a few more amenities? Yes but for making basic waffles it is really nice. I plan to use it at least couple times a month as long as it keeps the non-stick.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) The Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker has truly transformed my breakfast routine into a delightful experience! As someone who enjoys a good homemade waffle, I was intrigued by the unique vertical design, and I can confidently say that it does not disappoint. The sleek and modern design of this waffle maker is aesthetically pleasing and fits seamlessly into my kitchen. The vertical orientation not only saves counter space but also makes pouring batter a breeze—no more messy spills! The non-stick plates ensure that waffles come out perfectly golden and release easily without any sticking. This waffle maker heats up quickly and evenly, producing waffles in just a matter of minutes. The adjustable browning control allows you to customize the crispiness to your liking, whether you prefer fluffy, soft waffles or crispy, golden ones. I've made several batches, experimenting with different batters, and each time the results have been consistently excellent. Using the Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker is straightforward. The indicator lights provide clear guidance on when it’s ready to pour batter and when the waffles are done. Cleanup is a breeze as well; the non-stick surface wipes clean effortlessly, and the compact size means it can be easily stored without taking up too much space. What I love most is the versatility it offers. Beyond traditional waffle batter, I’ve tried making cornbread waffles and even dessert waffles with chocolate chips. Each variation has turned out wonderfully, showcasing the appliance's adaptability. The included recipes have also inspired me to get creative in the kitchen. Overall, the Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker is a fantastic investment for anyone who loves waffles. It combines style, functionality, and performance, making it a must-have for breakfast enthusiasts. Whether you’re whipping up a quick weekday breakfast or hosting a weekend brunch, this waffle maker is sure to impress. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their waffle game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had numerous waffle makers and really hesitated to try another one because I am tired of cleaning them and they are too heavy. But this one sounded different in that it was small, lightweight, and claimed the batter would not stick, so finally I decided to try it because if I was misled I would return it. It turned out to be everything it said. It is lightweight. It is small. It is easy to use. Absolutely no batter stuck to it. I poured the batter all around and spread it with a spatula, but did not go over the edge, and set the level to the highest. When it went off, the waffle came out easily, cooked perfectly, and nothing was stuck to the waffle iron. After it cooled, I cleaned with a soapy brush and wiped with a wet paper towel. All done. So now, when I feel like a waffle I just add water to my quick batter, pour it, wait a few minutes, and enjoy. So much better than my past method.

I bought this waffle maker a couple weeks ago and I love this machine. I like that the waffle plates and the pancake plates can be removed for cleaning, which is the main reason I bought the Cuisinart waffle maker. The plates are non stick which makes for easy clean up and I don't have to use oil to coat the plates first before cooking waffles.. I like that the machine makes 4 waffles at a time. I usually make a large batch of batter and cook up enough waffles to put in the refrigerator. My hubby can heat them in the toaster before he heads out to work in the mornings and on the weekends when he's home I can make waffles and we can eat 2 at a time since the Cuisinart makes 4 waffles at a time. The Cuisinart waffles fit in the toaster for easy reheating. The machine is not overly large either so it fits nicely on my limited kitchen counter space. I also like that the machine will beep to let you know it's ready to use when you plug it in and also beeps when your waffles are done. It's a very pretty machine and spills wipe up easy on the outside if I overfill the waffle plates which I did the first couple times I used my Cuisinart. I've made waffle batter with pure maple syrup added and chocolate chips to see if they would stick to the waffle plates but they don't stick on the plates. All in all, this Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker with Pancake Plates is the best waffle machine I've ever used. I had checked features on many different brands of waffle makers before I decided to buy the Cuisinart. The Cuisinart had EVERY feature I wanted. Nice looking, not overly large, easy to clean plates that remove and a timer that beeps to let you know your food is done cooking. On a personal note, I like that it is not a real heavy machine but is very well built. I have arthritis so lifting anything heavy can be a problem for me. I have no problems lifting the machine to move it or putting the plates in the machine

I purchased this machine as a replacement for one which I had been using for 20 years. I am very satisfied. I ordered it on a Sunday and was amazed at how quickly it arrived. The original Pizzelle recipe which comes with the machine is the exact same recipe that I have always used. The machine heats up quickly and evenly and makes perfect pizzelles every time. It was exactly what I was looking for. Pros: compact, easy storage, easy cleanup, heats evenly with no sticking Cons: There is no downside to this product, in my opinion.

I make pizelles during the holidays and my old iron was just getting old. I bought one of the Cucina Pro pizzelle irons and it was so easy to use and made such good cookies, that I bought a second one. The only drawback is the size of the cookies. They are a bit smaller than what I am used to. With a second iron, my son and I can both make the cookies and get done faster. The iron heats up fast and even and bakes just perfect. The cleaning is extremely easy, it just wipes clean! The price is very reasonable and I do like the fact that it makes 4 cookies instead of 2. Most other irons make only 2 cookies at a time. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a pancake girl. I've never even had a real homemade waffle, I've only had frozen waffles. I was offered an opportunity to try this double waffle flipper at no cost in exchange for my review. I've used it a few times now, tried a few different recipes, and I am so happy with it. It's very easy to use, it's set up already, no assembly required, you just take it out of the box, season it before the first use by brushing a little vegetable oil on it and then pour your batter in. Lock the top side, wait 10 seconds then flip, unlock and pour batter into the 2nd side. Wait 10 seconds then flip back over to the top. It's very easy to overfill, so make sure to use only about half a cup until you are more familiar with it - I made the mistake of overfilling it on my 2nd use and it was a bit of a pain to clean up, totally my fault, but there was waffle batter in every crack and crevice on the machine, lol. It was a mess! I've found that a half a cup makes the waffles a bit too thin and crispy for my liking, I do better with about two thirds of a cup of batter. Two thirds makes nice fat, fluffy waffles. It's easy to tell when they are done, you just wait for the steam to stop coming from the machine. If you like yours a little more brown, just keep cooking for a bit. Remove with a non-metal utensil so you don't scratch off the non-stick coating inside. The outside is easy to clean. I'm very pleased with it, I make waffles in it a few times a week now. My family loves it as well, it's super easy for anyone to use.

I love my Black Decker Rotary Waffle Maker! I had wanted this every since I saw it at a hotel we stayed at, while traveling. They had a complimentary breakfast every morning, they had this Waffle Maker. The only difference with this one, is you have to watch for when the light turns green, where theirs would beep when it was time to flip it, when it was done. Regardless, I love it anyway! Only thing is, remember when you get it to wipe it with a clean, damp cloth, then I seasoned mine (top bottom plates), with butter, then I flipped it, so that the excess oil would flow into the drip pan, then I just wiped the excess off of the outside body. Then I was ready to go. My grandsons loved my waffles! Bon Apotite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Black and Decker 3-in-1 Morning Meal Station totally for free from the Spectrum Brands First Look Community to use it at my home and provide my honest reviews in return. I was so excited to use it. I already knew that breakfast is by far the tastiest meal. Why? Because people can eat anything for breakfast. After some six-ten hours of not eating, something needs to be consumed in order to not turn into a sloth. The last thing students need is to have to go to school on an empty stomach – it just makes school that much harder. Unknown to many people, breakfast can actually help people lose weight! One theory of why it helps with weight loss is that breakfast reduces hunger throughout the day, so people are less likely to constantly be eating. I could make all the breakfast classics I needed, using it. With the interchangeable cooking plates which functions as a Waffle Maker, Grill, or Sandwich Maker, I could easily make those recipes. Nowadays. breakfast at our house is not a hassle anymore. It is just a breeze now. This 3-in-1 Morning Meal Station also has the coolest features. All the plates are nonstick and dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup, and include grease run-off channels for fast grease removal. The temperature indicator lets you know when the plates are preheated, and the cool-touch handles make it easy to open and close the appliance during cooking. Simple, I love this Black and Decker 3-in-1 Morning Meal Station. I have already recommended it to several of my friends and family, and have also invited them to our house for breakfast and given them a demo as well. They just loved it, and some of them bought it as well. Thank You Spectrum Brands First Look Community for sending me such a cool and so much useful household product and that too totally for free.

I've made three batches of waffles so far. I used my own recipe the first time, then tried the "Classic Waffles" recipe out of the booklet that came with it for the last two. All three times, with both recipes, I could not get the waffle batter to fill all the little squares (six total batter pours). I tried a lot of different ways to pour and spread it around and different amounts of batter each time, but still ended up with holes in my waffles. The nutty thing is that it lets "excess" batter overflow into the "No-Drip" trays along the side... but it still doesn't fill some of the holes. It shouldn't overflow until all the squares are full. I took a photo of my "holey waffles", but I don't see the option to include a photo in my review. A bit disappointed actually. Otherwise, it does do everything else it claims to do and cleans up easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 year old daughters favorite food is waffles. It is our lazy Sunday routine to have a waffle party with different toppings on a Sunday when we don’t have any real plans. I needed a waffle maker that would be fool proof because I tend to burn almost everything that I bake. This waffle maker has a light that notifies you when your waffle is baked! It’s literally a no guesswork type of thing! You add your batter (I’m still a novice and buy the batter that you just need to add water to, sometimes I get fancy and add milk instead of water and it works too!) and then you flip the waffle machine over and there is a light that lets you know when it is ready! The main thing that I love about this machine so the drip tray. For some reason I can’t figure out the perfect amount of batter to use and I always end up putting too much in. The drip tray catches almost all of the spillage, and it’s the most helpful addition to the waffle maker. I always line the counter with tin foil just in case I fill it way too much and it spills over the drip tray, but more times than not it’s just an added precaution that I didn’t need because the drip tray is a great size. So far the grates to my waffle maker are perfectly clean. I am too scared of getting them dirty, so we don’t add toppings to the waffle batter, instead we add it on top of the waffle once it is done. We realized that if you use the small chocolate chips and put them on top of the waffle as soon as it comes out, they will even melt in top so it is just as good as if they were melted inside! My kids love to add an assortment of toppings. Some fun combos that they did when I was in a good mood and let them experiment was a plain waffle with Nutella, rainbow sprinkles, blueberries, strawberries, banana and a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. They are obsessed with the waffle machine, and love experimenting with different combos to ‘out do’ each other waffles. Lastly I love how to can store it vertically. I hate when things are on top of each other on my shelves, I feel like everything is always falling over and it just looks messy. I love that the handle folds in and it stores on the base so I don’t need to stack it on top of anything.

Bakers watch your timing, I found if left in by Dash recipe the donuts were more than burnt. Also here are 2 negative comments on ALL Dash products. There should be some type of handle so no one gets burned. This happens when trying to flip eggs, pancakes, donuts, etc etc. The appliances doesnt all sit still. Also there is no room to flip things on the grill, griddle, egg bite maker, etc unless you are able to do fancy flipping. I cannot and know of no one who can. The solution may be to make items a tad deeper so the food does not just go over the side of the machine making a HUGE mess. Lastly it would be great if you either included or sold the right size utensils, smaller than what I normally cook with. That is really annoying and may also why things become a mess. I hope you read all of the as I am a Dash fanatic, I already have 13 items and have ordered 5 more this month. I show everyone your website and talk about all the ones I have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I understand that during breakfast, we can't talk much especially kids juggling to get ready for school. Wondering how to make breakfast for your family member in a small gesture to let them know you love them? This heart shaped waffle maker is the answer! Don't be deceived with the size, it 's bigger when waffle is cooked. My picky daughter doesn't like waffle, only pancake. When she saw the heart shape, she excitedly said she want one. One of my worry when getting a new waffle maker is the smell, but this waffle maker doesn't smell. It's a perfect waffle fragrant lingering in the air! It doesn't take too much space. It cooks fast. The lock mechanism is nice, it won't pinch my finger while locking or opening it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can I just say how nice it is to be able to make up several waffles at once? It's so nice being able to make 4 waffles (and often extras on the side) all at once, and serve them up on a plate and they're all equally as hot. I've used several waffle makers in the past but they've always been a single waffle maker and with having kids, they'd much rather have several waffles over just one while waiting on their next waffle. It honestly is just so much nicer and convenient to make breakfast with my new Dash mini waffle maker! It's as simple as a quick spray to the grid, pour my batter of choice, set the lid down and allow the waffles to cook to my preference. The only downfall for myself is that I wish the cooking plates would detach for an easier cleanup as I do like to thoroughly clean what I cook with but other than that, this waffle maker is an absolute dream.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dash Mini Maker Set Of Three included a bunny shaped pancake maker, a waffle shamrock shape and also a waffle bee honeycomb shape. They are absolutely precious. The perfect spring set. These mini makers are so easy to use, they are great quality and are SO easy to clean! They make the perfect sizes of pancakes and waffles for your kiddos. Making breakfast fun! I definitely recommend getting your hands on a set for your self. They're great to have for your kitchen or even to take with you camping/travel with. They don't take up much room at all. I love that they come individually boxed in this set so you cold gift them to others if you wanted. This is a wonderful set. I love them!

The deep bottom plate, and the close squares are perfect for my liege style Belgian waffles (yeast based dough with pearl sugar). The tighter configuration of the squares makes for crisp ridges. The deep bottom plate make the putter edges cool more evenly. The removable plates make clean up super easy! I would knock off a star for the lack of other plates to interchange (paninis, regular waffle plate etc.) The plates feel a little loose and fragile attachment. It does store upright-but no place to store the grease/overflow container. The light and beep seem random not tied to expected temperatures or doneness. I gave it 5 because even with these misses-it functions perfectly for the single purpose.
