Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for large, family breakfasts, this waffler makes six golden brown, deep-pocketed Belgian waffles at a time. The waffle grids heats up quickly and evenly due to the extra-thick die-cast aluminum surface, and an adjustable control offers seven different browning temperatures for lighter or darker waffles. For safety, a red light remains on for the duration of your cooking time and a green light illuminates when the appliance has reached the desired heat (about 8 to 10 minutes). The commercial-style handle stays cool during cooking and presses straight down to completely enclose the lid over your waffles. A high-quality nonstick coating on the waffle grids ensures that waffles lift off easily and that the waffler is easy to clean. In addition, the waffler has a trough that catches any overflow batter during cooking and makes cleanup a little easier.

While the high-polish aluminum exterior on this appliance is beautiful and durable, it also heats up to the same temperature as the waffler’s interior. The plastic-coated handle offers some protection from the heat, but cooks still must exercise caution to prevent burns from the lid or sides of the handle. The Uno Belgian waffler stands upright for storage but is still fairly large and heavy so cooks will want to ensure that they have adequate space for it. This product is covered by VillaWare under a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Belgian Waffle Iron!, July 31, 2003

I recently bought this waffle iron after others that were either not high enough wattage (soft/wimpy exterior) or so small, you became a waffle turner outer for the family.
This waffle iron has the 2 most important things needed for good waffles: more than 1000 watts (1400) and capacity for more than one! It also works pretty fast.
Bottom line: It made nice crispy waffles with cloud-like interiors.
Helpful hint: Use 1 tsp yeast (as they do in Belgium) per 3 cups of flour and let stand for 1 hour (or overnight in fridge) in your recipe (+1C milk, 1C water, 3 eggs, 2/3C sugar, 1/2C melted Butter, 1/2tsp salt, 1tsp vanilla, some orange/lemon zest. All ingredients should be warm or room temp for the yeast to rise) and you'll have the best belgium waffles you ever tasted in this country!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, August 6, 2003

By

This review is from: VillaWare V2170 UNO 6 At-A-Time Waffler (Kitchen)

We have two smaller waffle makers which were OK but each browned the waffles unevenly and were two small. I spent more time waffling than eating. Essentially our family of four would eat in shifts as I prepared the next waffle. The sheer size and ability of this waffler to produce 6 waffles put a quick end to that.

PROS:
-Large size, 6 waffles at a time is great
-Non-stick surface is truly nonstick
-Heats and recovers quickly for fast waffling
-Visually appealing
-Floating upper plate ensure even browning of waffles
-Browness control a plus
-Deep pockets results in crispy waffles

Cons:
-Smaller than normal size waffles
-No on/off switch which resulted in a small spark when I plugged it in the first time, none since
-Still need to occasionaly check the progress of the waffles
-Not so stable stored upright, better if laid flat given it's heft
-Quiet beep when waffler is heated, does not beep when waffles are done as opposed to our other Villaware waffler

The problem with this is that (as it appears to me) VillaWare has tried to cut corners by re-using all but the plates as it has on it's Panini Grill (which for the record is an excellent product - which I have given rave reviews). Check out the Panini Grill - unless you had these products in front of you & were able to open them up, you'd never be able to tell the difference between them. I would say, don't write off VillaWare products just because of one poor one, as I said I also own the Panini Grill & LOVE IT!!!!!!!! However, don't waste your money on this one - I hope VillaWare does right by their respected name & pulls this off the market completely.

One thing I will say, the "audible warning sound" that was mentioned in a previous review is actually a click - the same as the Panini Grill, but listen carefully or you'll miss it.
