Amazon.com Review
This waffle baker really works. Pour in the batter, close the lid, and flip once--either sideways or front to back--and in five minutes two thick and fluffy Belgian waffles are ready. It's amazing. The flipping creates an air pocket in the center of the waffle that's pure chemistry. There are also several features that make using this device almost foolproof (though there is a slight learning curve). A well-written recipe book is included that provides some delicious waffle recipes and great baking tips, even if you're using a prepackaged mix. The indicator light is also great: it turns green when the baker is ready for the batter, eliminating guesswork. And the nonstick surface is super--when your waffles are done (five minutes is a good benchmark, and the lid should lift easily), they peel off the grid smoothly. Cleanup is easy, too. A covered hinge and a batter channel prevent messy spills, and the nonstick surface wipes clean with a sponge or a soft brush. Best of all, the waffle baker stores upright. All in all, this is a dandy addition to any kitchen. --C. Whitney-Ward

makes tasty waffles
This product cooks waffles in less than the 5 minutes it says it will take so it was fast enough to keep up with a hungry family of four. It produces thick fluffy waffles. The indicator lights stopped working, though, within about 2 months of use. The hinge also seems loose so i'm not sure how much longer it will hold together. It stands on its end when folded so doesn't take up much space in the cabinet.

Good, Well-Priced Purchase
We did have some problems with the waffle batter sticking--even though we followed the recipes in the provided recipe book--but solved them all by using a bit of Pam between batches. Once we had that figured out, the waffle maker worked like a charm! Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. I recommend!

Remember your Pam spray!
This waffle baker makes great waffles, but I found that I had to spray it with Pam nonstick spray before I added the waffle batter to the iron. Otherwise, the waffle stuck to the baker, making a big mess. It is easy to use and appears well built. I recommend it.
