Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A thick, fluffy, 7-1/4-inch-diameter Belgian waffle is already divided into four sections and ready to be shared when it comes out of this handsome waffle maker. That's because the grids' dividers are high enough to separate the sections. The grids are nonstick, meaning they readily release the four-piece waffle and easily wipe clean. A ready light shines when the waffle maker is properly heated to accept the batter and shines again when the waffle is cooked. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 650-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the waffle maker upright for compact storage. It measures 8 inches wide, 3-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Clean-up, November 16, 2002

By A Customer

I would not recommend this waffle-maker. The lower handle provides a place for batter to ooze into, and it can't be cleaned out! And you can't unscrew the screws to get at the area. The light timer makes dark waffles, not to my kids liking. I'm ready to pull my old waffle maker out of the attic!

Like the other reviewers, I agree that this waffle maker is hard to clean, especially in the front. There is a nickel-width gap where all the spillover can get into. It's very hard to clean that gap out. Also, it DOES overcook the waffles. So, don't follow the timer. Cook for 2.5 minutes and it's perfect. Decent sized waffles. Looks nice with the chrome finish.

Got two waffle makers for Christmas. (the list you know) Really liked this one because it looked nicer and the brand gave it the appearance of being more expensive. We kept the other one, as we like to make a bunch and freeze them, so two would work fine. Well we had a problem with this one right away, and my DH called B&D and they sent us a replacement. The replacement broke, guess where? , at the hinge! So we've been using it for the last 6+ months like it is. Am currently shopping Amazon for a professional one like I saw at Costco.
