Cuisinart Double Flip Belgian Waffle Maker, 180° Flip, Ready Indicator Light, 1400W Nonstick Waffle Iron Plates, WAF-F40, Black/Stainless

I cannot believe I paid approximately $100 for a waffle maker. And more importantly, would say that it is worth every penny! I love this thing!! I have used it for several months now and have found: It heats well/ fairly quickly, cooks well-you really can get crispy and soft waffles at the same time (setting 4), doesn’t stick (use a bit of butter on both the top and bottom), and notifies you with a loud beep when it is done cooking. Plus it cooks 2 waffles simultaneously. At my house we have pretty much given up pancakes for waffles because of this machine and how easy it is to operate and clean (plates do not come off; I use a damp rag to clean) and because of how quickly we can get the waffles done. I know-$100 is a lot to pay for a product that only does one thing (makes waffles). But in my opinion it is definitely worth it. If you have used a Belgium waffle maker at a hotel breakfast, this is very similar(if not identical) to that. The waffles that you make on this machine come out like the ones you make at the hotels (or order at a restaurant). You just need to experiment with what type of waffle mix to use/make.

Pros: Easy to set up; easy to operate. Starts making waffles quickly and does a really good job. So much better than my first waffle maker where I had to guess if the waffle was done by the amount of steam produced. The temperature control is 5 different settings indicated by how many lights are lit up. Actual temperature is not presented -- much like run of the mill toaster settings. Cooks edge to edge.Had to experiment with different temps for different mixes. I use only box mixes (yeah, I have shame but I'm lazy too) and my altitude is pretty high so any suggested temperature on the control is a mere recommendation.Cooking plates are truly non-stick but I've seen this coating many times (it's not Teflon) and metal utensils should be avoided at all cost. I use a silicone spatula and that's enough.Con: Cleanup is not a snap since the cooking plates can't be removed. Getting all of the little broken cooked batter bits, moisture, and oil wiped out takes some time if you don't want to leave it for the next use.Informational: It's quite a bit bigger than a toaster (even bigger than my old waffle maker) and my counterspace real estate is not unlimited, so mine goes into a cabinet and eats a lot of space there. I wouldn't consider going back to a flat waffle griddle or my old inconvenient waffle maker, but if you're limited on counter AND cabinet space a luxury appliance like this may beg reconsideration.

We have been looking for a waffle maker since our old one was no longer working. Since this one had good reviews, we decided to purchase it. We have used it a few times and we absolutely love it. I love that it makes double the waffles and it's so easy to use and extremely easy to clean up. They recommend to spray with oil before use but I didn't want oil to build up on it so I decided not to spray anything on it since it's nonstick and it works great. The waffles don't stick at all and come out very easy. Plus, we won't have any oil build up on it.

Had one for 15 years - made thousands of waffles - has a beeper so you don't have to watch the lightLove this double flip waffle maker,It served us for 15 years,Thousands of waffles came off its grill,All smiles and never tears.It has a ready beeper,You don't have to watch the light,So you can go and do other things,While it cooks with all its might!Adjust the doneness easily,Flips without a bother,A handy cup to measure it out,Is it a wonder we bought another?The cook time goes by pretty fast,It's really easy to clean,It stores in any cupboard,Cause it's style is super clean.

Easy to use, heats quickly and heat selector is accurate. Measuring cup provided makes the perfect waffle without overspill. Only thing that is a little tricky is that both sides seem to cook slightly unevenly depending if the waffle is on the top or on the bottom for most of the cooking time. But this is a small difference, not critical at all! Still think this is an amazing waffle maker.

Love this two at a time waffle maker. It makes great waffles. However, it is definitely not as sturdily built as the previous Waring models (same company). They’ve cut some corners with this model. Mainly the lever temperature control. It’s difficult to get precise temperature and the lever is very loose unlike the dial on our old Waring Pro. The whole machine just feels less stable. The measuring cup is not as nice and the little tray to catch overflow is thinner and a bit flimsy. Overall we’re happy with it, but it’s all in the details.

I LOVE this waffle maker! I have the upright model and hated how messy it got when batter dripped all over trying to aim for the spout on top. Other than that and the raw “waffle loaf” that was created on top of a waffle if you poured a bit too much in, I thought it worked pretty well. This double flip waffle maker is a dream! It’s super easy to clean and takes half the time to make waffles for a group. Great quality and finally I don’t dread making waffles.

Wow! This is so easy to use and works so well! It isn’t a small item but it’s also not gigantic & it is well worth every inch of space it takes. Yum! So nice having 2 ready at once (especially with guests) too!!
