After reading various mixed waffle iron reviews, I ordered this Belgium Waffle Iron 4/3/23 and received it 4/4/23. I'm writing this review on 4/5/23. Couldn't wait to use it, as I've never had one before. This morning I made delicious plant-based waffles (I'm vegan) out of oatmeal from a recipe I found online. Just throw the oatmeal, plant-based milk and nut-butter, applesauce and other minor ingredients into a blender and blend. Couldn't have been easier. The recipe suggested throwing out the instructions for any waffle iron regarding using a light/beep, etc. for the waffle being done, so I decided to take that advice, which was to wait until there was no steam coming from the iron (to determine readiness) and to wait an extra 5 minutes after the light notes being ready before pouring in the batter. My waffles were perfect!!! Very crisp. After each one cooked, I placed it on the oven rack (no plate) to maintain crispness at 200 degrees. My only complaint is the measuring cup that comes with the iron is crap. The directions say something about ml readings on the cup, but the actual cup reading isn't metric. I just used a ladle I had and used 2 full scoops of the ladle to pour into the iron. It worked fine. I didn't take off for this. I didn't use any oil, as the iron is non-stick. Just make sure the iron is very hot before pouring the batter. Clean up was easy. Also, I like the way the iron can be stored on it's side for minimal storage. I know I have only used the iron once, but very surprised how the iron performed and how reasonably priced it was. If I have any issues with the iron in the future, I will update this review.

La uso para mi negocio, estamos en mayo 2022 y la llevo usando desde diciembre 2021. Calienta súper rápido y muy bien, parejo. Al principio fue difícil encontrar la medida exacta de masa para evitar derrames, pero luego encontré el modo y ya no se derrama nada. Con mi receta basta con cubrir totalmente la base para que quede perfectamente bien cubierto todo el molde pero no derrame. Tienes que experimentar un poco para saber qué cantidad, ya que depende mucho del tipo de masa que uses y lo espesa que esté. Otro tip, al principio no confiaba en la luz azul, así que revisaba el waffle cada cierto tiempo, pero luego vi que no es necesario, se enciende cuando está a la temperatura ideal, se apaga cuando echas la masa y cierras, cuando vuelve a encender el foco azul está completamente cocido al nivel de tostado que elijas, sin necesidad de estar revisando. Leí que a muchos se les ha quebrado por el “abrir y cerrar”, pero a mí me ha funcionado bien, por si las dudas he tenido el debido cuidado al manipularla para evitar que se dañe, ya que ciertamente se siente un poco flojo, no está muy ajustado, afortunadamente sigue en buenas condiciones. Es fácil de limpiar y no necesita grasa (mantequilla o aceite), no se le pega nada y es fácil quitar los residuos cuando está totalmente fría con un trapo limpio y húmedo, no es necesario lavar. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.

This waffle maker cooks waffles to perfection. And the waffles are so big. The anti-overflow works amazing. I don’t know what other people are talking about that said it didn’t. Maybe they have an older model. But mine works great. All it is, is an extended cooking surface so any batter that goes outside of the waffle grooves just gets cooked rather than making a mess. I liked it having a bit of an extra edge from the anti-overflow surface, it made it easier to get the waffle out. And if you’re worried about presentation you can easily cut or pull the edges off for a cleaner look. It’s fool proof. It tells you when to put the batter in and when the waffle is done. It has multiple level setting based on how browned you want your waffle. I cooked mine on level 3 (medium) for reference. It’s compact and light. It’s easy to clean, I just wiped it down with a cloth, nothing sticks to it. It was so easy to use my 5 year old was making waffles with my supervision.

What a great little machine!!!! When it arrived, I removed the plastic protector between the plates that is used to prevent rubbing when in transit. I wiped down the interior and then put the protector back. Big mistake! For those of you with a working brain, remove the plastic film and if desired replace it with an old towel or micro-cloth when storing the unit. As I was saying, remove the plastic before heating the unit. I forgot that the plastic was there, since it does not stick out. I opened the unit to add the batter, and it looked like a spider web inside. I left it open to go cold, and then wiped out the plastic webs. No, it did not damage the plates. They are non-stick and did their job. I then added batter. I have a recipe for a single waffle. Guess what! It can make about one and a half waffles. I could hear a squeaking sound coming from the unit. Batter was oozing out the sides. The overflow groove can only handle so much. I cleaned the counter, and waited for my waffle to finish cooking. It tasted wonderful. After another complete cool down I wiped off the outside of the unit. It heats up quickly and cooks quickly, wonderful unit.

Soy fan de los wuafles , hago constantemente y está maquinita es una maravilla , fácil de usar, limpiar y hace unos wuafles perfectos , no derrama nada siempre y cuando uses la medida correcta que trae incluida y si pones de más la mezcla se queda en las orillas de la wuaflera , y el sabor depende la forma en que prepares tu mezcla, y si los gustas crujientes solo es cuestión de dejarlos más tiempo al que marca y a una temperatura media para que no se quemen.
