This is the best Belgian waffle baker on the market for under $800. When it first arrived I made waffles with Jiffy Mix, instead of the traditional yeast-raised Belgian recipe, and they were delicious. I could not believe how much better they were than any waffles I had ever made before. Even though I did not use the yeast batter, I did whip the egg whites until stiff before adding to the batter.

Customer Reviews

Good value for occasional use, but breaks under heavy repeated use
This waffle maker is a tremendous waffle maker if you are truly a casual waffle maker. By that I mean making waffles on special occasions, maybe a few times a year. It's the closest you will come to a commercial waffler at a reasonable price. But if you make waffles regularly, it is too lightly constructed to last for a long time. The hinge breaks after 500 waffles or so. I've had a number of other waffle makers, and this one most recently. I've been making waffles every saturday for the past 12 or so years. I bought one of these in 2004, and after two years of regular saturday use, the hinge broke. I promptly replaced it with the same one in 2006, and it broke this morning, like clockwork, two years after it was purchased, again in the same location on the hinge. I'm now shopping for a true commercial maker, because it's not economical to be buying one of these every two years...

Easy to use
Very easy to use and makes great waffles. It takes away the "fear" of making waffles, which I hadn't attempted in years following disastrous attempts with an older iron. It is easy to clean. Although you aren't supposed to wash the grids themselves, it comes so clean that you really don't have to (unlike my old iron that seemed to hold on to parts with an "iron grip"). I also like that it beeps to tell me when the waffle is done.

Great for using with the Golden waffle mix. Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, Original, 16-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)

Several people who have seen me use this were amazed at its ease and low price for such an expensive looking item and have gone out and bought their own.

Very short life span....Five dollars per waffle !!
While it worked, it really did make a great waffle. We received this waffle maker as a gift about 14 months ago, but used it infrequently. I figure we made a total of 20 waffles with it before it stopped heating and of course it happened when we had a house full of guests. I did not realize so many people had the same problem we did. This is a poorly designed product and should have lasted a whole lot longer. I was considering purchasing another one until I read all of the bad reviews about the heating element going out! My recommendation, save your money and purchase another brand.
