By JWC - Reader
I take this unit on vacation with us - I use it at home - I take it to over nighters anywhere.
I see some reviews that say it has no temp adjustment - well, it simply would be useless if it did.
Pour in the batter and set the timer for 3 min 45 seconds and two waffles are done to perfection - each time and everytime. It has never failed after hundreds of waffles
I also see some noise about it being large and bulky - well, if you want a heavy duty machine that will out last you, this is what you get. I have no trouble taking it everywhere.
The best unit ever!
PS: The very best waffle mix is the malted mix from Williams Sonoma - wow! I am going to make some now . . .

We have a couple of other Kitchenaid products, so I knew this waffle baker would be built like a tank. The instructions were well written and pretty straightforward. It is simple to operate and the waffles I made this morning came out great. I used a basic waffle recipe (you can get mixes, but it only take a few minutes to make it from scratch). I started out with the timer (which is very simple to operate) set to 4 minutes; this was good but the waffles wanted to stick just a tiny bit, so I tried setting at 4.5 minutes, which was perfect.
The waffles were delicious, and HUGE. Yes, you can make a lot of waffles very quickly, but really, you only need to make a few of these waffles to feed a crowd. I made 5 waffles this morning for six people (four young kids, two adults), and had one whole waffle left over. The waffles separate into quarters very easily, and one quarter is definitely a good bit for one plate. If I could give it 6 stars, i would.

Amazon Verified Purchase
KitchenAid Pro Line Series Waffle Baker
I recommend the purchase of this waffle baker.
I purchased the baker from Amazon.com using bonus points on 12/18/10. S&H was included which is one of the reasons I like using Amazon. Plus, the price was right.
I received the unit via UPS in three days after ordering. Even though it was Christmas time, Amazon was just as fast as I usually find them. The packaging was excellent and the package was received unscathed.
Cons.
The unit is made in China. I find that a little disappointing as the stainless steel and workmanship is good, but not the same quality as products made in the USA.
There were a few small scratches on various places to the unit. But, not to the extent that it is worth returning for a different unit.
The waffle make unit does not sit level in the cradle and has to be adjusted to insure that it is level. When turning the unit it will go just a little beyond level.
Although most of the unit is metal there are still plastic components. The plastic around the hinges causes me some concern. I'll just hope for the best.
Pros.
The unit is larger than most waffle makers for home use but, it doesn't take up much room on the counter and looks good. It is the size unit that you'll find in most hotels/motels. Be aware that it is, also, heavier than most waffle bakers.
It took about three minutes to get hot from the time I plugged it in until ready to cook. After that, the unit was ready to cook within seconds of removing the waffles.
The ready light and thermometer work well and leave no doubt of the unit's ready status.
I find the alarms helpful in reminding me of the unit being ready to cook or the when waffles are finished.
It is easy to clean after use. Just a damp rag for washing and a drying rag is all that is needed.
If you read the instruction booklet and follow the instructions, the waffles turn out great with a couple of minor exceptions listed below.
The waffles are a good size. I doubt if you'll want more than one as the waffles are that big.
It is easy to use. Just set the timer and wait. The controls are clearly marked and easily operated.
I found when pouring the batter that it took only about ľ cup to make a waffle and not the full cup recommended in the instruction booklet.
I also found that 4 minutes is a good time to cook the waffles to the doneness that my wife and I like.
I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of the unit. If you're looking for a unit that makes really good Belgian waffles than this unit is a winner. I would get this unit again.
I gave it a four stars instead of five primarily due to having to insure the unit is sitting level in the cradle.
