CRUX Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker with Deep Nonstick PFOA Free Plates, Digital Keto Chaffles Iron with LCD Display, Browning Control and Cord Storage, Stainless Steel

Awesome waffle maker. I got the digital one (single waffle maker). It looks nice and feels pretty sturdy. I like the countdown timer as well. The waffles cook perfectly & I appreciate that there are shade settings. Nonstick works great and the price is really on point especially when it is on sale. Overall very easy to use, fairly easy to clean, and makes great Belgian waffles! Get it.

Shopped around before making a decision, I viewed nearly 100 different manufacturers and styles. I chose this one and I'm VERY happy with it. I've only used it once and I'm dialing-in the right settings but it makes fantastic, thick Belgian waffles! They are 6-3/4" diameter and nearly 1-1/2" thick! A few points worth mentioning: - It does NOT come with a measuring cup nor does the description indicate this! Instructions say to use 3/4 cup but I found 1 cup fills out better with my recipe. - Makes true Belgian-sized waffles. They are very thick and it's going to take practice to get them perfect. - I chose the single (one at a time) waffle maker. It has a traditional black non-stick coating and not the copper look like the 2-up model. Definitely not a deal breaker and a light coating of vegetable oil provided stick-free waffles. -I also purchased "SURDOCA Silicone Pastry Basting Brush" to apply the vegetable oil and they worked well. Highly recommended. - Don't get carried away with the vegetable oil or your waffles will taste like fried food. I plan on try other oils and evaluating the results. - Making waffles produces lots of steam and some of it condenses inside the handle. When you rotate it back, a little moisture drips out of the handle onto the control panel. This is a very minor inconvenience and I simply wipe it with a paper towel. - I use Krusteaz Belgian Waffle Mix and add a teaspoon of vanilla to the mix! Produces waffles just like the restaurant ones. All in all I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this product.

worked twice and then the electronics gave out - 2 days after the return window closed.

works well , timer is flaky works about half the time , but its easy enough to time it with another clock, not a big enough issue to return it

You cannot find a better thick waffle maker 1.4 inches, without having to buy a countertop commercial grade one. I bought two. One for backup!

I have a set of all-clad 5 ply cookware and was going to buy the all-clad waffle Iron but everyone I read said 1 inch thick. I had a cheaper one before that said 1 inch and was not too happy their 1 inch waffle was no thicker than a regular frozen waffle. I was even gonna buy a restaurant one because it might have been thicker but they too said 1 inch. UNTIL I SAW THIS> 1.4 inch waffle on the CRUX. IM telling you I filled it up with batter and they measured 1 3/4 inches and came out perfect brownish tan both sides just how I remember from back in the day in a restaurant. My very first try on setting 5 and it was perfect. Im so glad I bought this. I think this was a model version or something because the box was opened, not taped or sealed at all and no warranty card or any of the things you get with a kitchen item. I figured I would try it before I sent it back. Guess what? Im keeping it. YES they are that perfect and thick! One thing I found out on my own was when we plugged it in to try it before putting in batter, it wasnt counting down. I thought yup its broke...But then she said maybe you have to put in batter. i said nah, its not ascale. SHE WAS RIGHT. It detects the batter via temp drop and then it will count down, this way it stays hot, at the right temp so its always ready...well for 30 minutes anyway thenit will stop so you dont mistakenly leave it on all day. ITS GREAT, Michael

We got it August 2023.we have been pleased with the waffles. Good timer and even heating. There is one design problem rgar could lead to a dangerous situation. The waffle iron is top heavy with not enough weight in the actual base. There is also a small spring loaded silver locking button where the handle fits into. Tge purpose of tge button is to to keep top waffle element from rotating. Today while making waffles some batter got into rhe button slot and was cooked in there. This prevented the lock from working. Combined with the top heavy aspect of the unit when we opened it it flipped over on the counter. We were lucky the 400 degree appliance didn’t end up in our lap. We had to wait until it cooled before fixing the problem. Puttinh more weight in the base would have prevented it from flipping over. It makes great waffles though. Lou

I'm a conosuer of fine cuisine and I think It makes excellent waffles, quesadillas, omelets, stuffed bacon eggs and cheese biscuits using crescent roll dough, and my favorite chocolate cake waffle using cake mix (Duncan Hines chocolate). Make about 3, put soft vanilla bean ice cream in the middle of each waffle, stack, and spread on the outside like a cake with double chocolate icing and you got yourself heaven on a plate my friend ( goes good with coffee). I got it because I'm a fat boy with a (Dad Bod) and I eat like it. My family loves it when I break it out. Another awesome treat is mixing bacon or sausage chunks in your waffle mix and cook it. Put maple syrup on it and you there my friend. 100% buy this!
