No need to wait until Sunday mornings for homemade waffles thanks to this easy-to-use countertop appliance. The unit features a nonstick cooking surface for effortless release of round 6-inch-wide waffles made up of five heart-shaped sections. A green light illuminates to indicate "preheating" and will go out once the cooking plates have reached an ideal cooking temperature.

To use, simply add waffle batter to the middle of the cooking plate and lower the lid--the green light will turn back on to indicate "cooking" and will turn off when the waffle has fully cooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Great Waffles! June 6, 2009

By A. Lord

My workplace instated "Waffle Wednesdays" and every week we make about two dozen waffles for staff and clients. Every week, this makes reliably wonderful waffles. I have used it regularly for about six months and I have yet to be disappointed. The waffles are even a great, medium size. They can easily tear (or be cut) into small, bite-sized hearts.

My favorite aspect of this maker is, regardless of how long one leaves a waffle on the waffle maker, they will seldom burn; they just continue to get crispier, and a bit more golden-brown. I have yet to see a burned waffle on this waffle maker, even after accidently leaving one on for 10 minutes or more. Also, it heats up quickly, so it's ready to make waffles in only a couple of minutes

My only disappointment would be when I've made berry-waffles, because of the berries, the waffles can stick to the top or bottom, as opposed to coming straight out as they normally do. Also, it can leave residue behind, which makes it difficult for the non-stick to work. However, it does return to its non-stick abilities after a couple times of using regular batter. To abate the small hassle, I no longer put any berries (or the like) into the batter I use.

I would recommend, or even buy this waffle maker, for any number of friends or waffle aficionados. I have most certainly got my money's worth out of this machine so far, and anticipate many more delicious "Waffle Wednesdays".

5.0 out of 5 stars works great! July 3, 2008

This waffle maker works very well. There are several settings for cooking at different temperatures. The waffles cook evenly. MAYBE the not so heavy top grid is forgiving of varying amounts of batter, because I got very little overflow, and all the waffles were complete except for the last waffle in a batch when there was too little batter for a whole waffle. I like the simple light weight design of this waffle maker as opposed to some that are clumsy to use. When the waffle maker is plugged in, a red light comes on. You wait until the green light comes on to put the batter in. I think maybe the red light coming on again is supposed to signal when the waffle is cooked. I wait until the waffle has stopped steaming and then check it. It's either done then or pretty quickly after. I'm not sure about the red light for that. Anyway, I found this waffle maker to be easy to use to make very good waffles. P.S. I really like waffles made from a yeast sponge or sour dough starter, because they are nor bitter like those made with baking powder. I just take the sponge or some starter and mix in milk, egg, some more flour, a little sugar, a pinch of salt, and then it's really ready to use right then.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cooks evenly, but man do they stick. January 16, 2011

By R. Anderson

I bought this waffle iron as I had fond memories of eating heart-shaped thin waffles with strawberry preserves during a trip to Norway many years ago, and this seemed to have the best reviews of the irons that make this type of waffles.

The good:
The waffle iron cooks evenly, and produces thin and well-browned waffles.

The bad:
The waffles stick. A lot. I've tried Pam, I've tried brushing the griddles with a variety of different oils and a pastry brush, I make sure it's fully pre-heated before use, I use wooden utensils to avoid scratching, but whatever I do, some part of the top of the waffle sticks.

Once you get them unstuck, the waffles are tasty and perfectly cooked, but boy is it annoying to have to pry them loose every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Waffle Maker! November 24, 2008

By L. Kay

I am very, very happy with this waffle maker. It heats up quickly, cooks the waffle quickly and evenly. Because of the heart shapes of the design, you can cut one waffle into smaller ones if necessary and you wouldn't necessarily know they were cut. Otherwise, one large waffle is great too. The unit cleans up easily. Just be careful not to pour too much batter onto the hot griddle. I have found that just 1/2 Cup is plenty so it doesn't squish out and run down the side after closing the lid. Then your clean up is easier than ever! Perfect waffles every time and we don't have to wait too long to cook them. Its a quick process.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love using this waffle maker February 1, 2009

By R. Hillman

I love using this waffle maker. It's simple to use and works well for the person who is preparing a waffle breakfast for 1 to 3 individuals. The settings are also easy to use which will allow you to brown the waffle to your desired level also. Cleaning the waffle iron is easy which makes using it even better.

1.0 out of 5 stars This stinks!!! February 2, 2011

By terra

Everything, no matter what recipe or if you grease it or not EVERYTHING sticks! I am so frustrated! This item is what I thought I always wanted. I loved heart shaped waffles as a child. But I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect much! March 23, 2009

By B. Williams

Kalorik Heart Design Waffle Maker
I do not like this waffle maker. I've been making european style waffles in heart waffle irons for over 30 years and this is the worst waffle maker I've ever owned. The waffles are too pale and not crispy enough - no matter how long you let them "bake". You get what you pay for here. If you're used to first rate waffles, don't bother with this appliance. Spend a little extra and buy a different brand.

I LOVE this waffle maker! It's small (compact), but makes good sized waffles! Even on the middle setting (#3), it cooks VERY quickly!
