"My review in short:Great and affordable waffle maker when used correctly! Size:This waffle maker is on the average size. The cooking plate is only about 6 inches in diameter.Disclaimer #1:Remember folks when pouring batter LESS IS MORE. Let me repeat, LESS IS MORE. Use the measuring cup that comes with the unit to pour the batter. For your first cook, pour 1/3 cup (MAXIMUM) of batter in the center of the plate, just so you can get an idea of how much the batter spreads when you close the lid. A 1/3 cup of batter will ALMOST fill the entire cooking plate once the waffle is cooked. It won't seem like a lot of batter when you pour it, but please, trust me when I say once you close the lid that batter WILL spread.I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that everyone who experienced batter overflowing everywhere, making a huge mess was due to pouring too much batter (even though it may not have seemed like a lot when pouring).Disclaimer #2I've read a lot of reviews claiming that the spill/overflow lip doesn't work. It does work, you just have to understand what the overflow lip is and isn't. The overflow lip IS simply to catch a SMALL (and I do mean small) portion of batter overflow, NOT the entire Pacific Ocean. Settings:You are able to adjust the cooking settings with a turn of a knob. This nob determines how brown the waffle will be. Turn the knob to the desired brownness and plug in the waffle maker. Once the waffle maker has reached cooking temp the light will go from red to green. I typically set mine to somewhere in the middle and it takes about 2-3mins to heat up before it's ready for the batter to be poured in. Once you pour in the batter and close the lid the light will turn from green to red (this may take a few seconds). When the waffles are done, the light will go from red to green.Cook Time:This will obviously be determined by how brown you want your waffles, but the waffles nevertheless cook quite quickly. Just be advised that this waffle maker does NOT "beep" to notify you once your waffles are ready. I do hear a slight "click" sound of the light turning green notifying that the waffles are ready but that is it, so you'll need to pay attention.Cleaning:To clean this unit I simply wipe it down with moist cloth and then a dry cloth."

I already had a waffle maker that worked very well, but only made 2 small square ones at a time, which ultimately was a time-intensive endeavor when making them for more than myself. I opted to upgrade to this one to speed up the job. The outer lip that prevented overflow was certainly no insignificant factor that led me to selecting this one.It does, in fact, make excellent waffles and cleans up easily, too, BUT don’t even bother pretending that the outer overflow lip is going to save you from having batter dripping down the sides. Resign yourself to the reality, place it on a surface that’s easy to wipe down, and have a damp sponge or paper towels handy to clean off the exterior while you’re at it. Easy enough! The one small downside is the EXTREMELY short electrical cord on the appliance. While I understand the “safety” rationale, it dramatically complicates where you can use it, and truthfully, necessitates using a power strip if you have the routine gamut of kitchen appliances you use daily already competing for counter space. Not ideal, but reality rarely is. All in all, while not the revolutionary “mess-free” waffle maker of my dreams, it is a solid, consistently-performing one that makes tasty waffles and that’s what matters most to me!leslie

After reading various mixed waffle iron reviews, I ordered this Belgium Waffle Iron 4/3/23 and received it 4/4/23. I'm writing this review on 4/5/23. Couldn't wait to use it, as I've never had one before. This morning I made delicious plant-based waffles (I'm vegan) out of oatmeal from a recipe I found online. Just throw the oatmeal, plant-based milk and nut-butter, applesauce and other minor ingredients into a blender and blend. Couldn't have been easier. The recipe suggested throwing out the instructions for any waffle iron regarding using a light/beep, etc. for the waffle being done, so I decided to take that advice, which was to wait until there was no steam coming from the iron (to determine readiness) and to wait an extra 5 minutes after the light notes being ready before pouring in the batter. My waffles were perfect!!! Very crisp. After each one cooked, I placed it on the oven rack (no plate) to maintain crispness at 200 degrees. My only complaint is the measuring cup that comes with the iron is crap. The directions say something about ml readings on the cup, but the actual cup reading isn't metric. I just used a ladle I had and used 2 full scoops of the ladle to pour into the iron. It worked fine. I didn't take off for this. I didn't use any oil, as the iron is non-stick. Just make sure the iron is very hot before pouring the batter. Clean up was easy. Also, I like the way the iron can be stored on it's side for minimal storage. I know I have only used the iron once, but very surprised how the iron performed and how reasonably priced it was. If I have any issues with the iron in the future, I will update this review.d3k

I read many many reviews before purchasing this waffle maker. I picked this one because it was in my price range and seemed like a highly rated good beginners model. I recommend reading the safety instructions carefully and the waffle making tips..My first test waffle was ok.By my second try I got the temperature setting right for a golden color. I had fun and the waffles were very good.If you are a beginner like me, I would recommend a trial run before making them for company. Once you get the hang of it and understand how the temperature control works and how slowly lifting up the lid work together, it’s really easy and fun.The reason it is not five stars is because I think this is a great little engine that could. The ease of use and easy cleaning are a plus. It rates consistently in the top 10 of various video reviews. The #1 rated are much more expensive, more have precise temperature controls and more metal hardware (hinges). they also feed a family with more capacity. I don’t need that. But I would agree that’s the difference between 4 and five stars. All things considered this model is near best in class and that works for me. If you’re looking for good value, ease of use and very good results this product will fit the bill. I’m an occasional user so I expect it will last for a good term. If I had a family and would use this heavily then I would probably pay for one of the stainless steel models with stabilizing metal hinges for a longer 5-10 year lifecycle. For low to moderate users this product is a winner at a good price level.shenel

I have been looking for a waffle maker that had an adjustable cooking time, and this one offers that. I like my waffles to be crispy, and this one does the job very well. It is very easy to use. Just plug it in and off it goes. The dial that adjusts the cooking time is simple, easy to use. This waffle iron the perfect size. It doesnt take up an enormous amount of counter space but make perfect sized waffles. Highly recommend.Anonymous
