Cuisinart WAF-F10P1 Round Belgian Waffle Maker with Extra Deep 1-Inch Non-Stick Coated Waffle Grid, Stainless Steel

I bought this waffle iron to replace my beloved Waring Pro that didn't survive an ill-considered attempt at Liege-style waffles. This Cuisinart model feels flimsy compared to the Waring. Its temperature knob turns very easily, so accidentally brushing against it may cause a significant change in temperature. The lack of any sort of audible alarm isn't too much of a detraction--the click of the indicator light turning on and off is apparent in a quiet kitchen. The sound is especially handy because the light isn't bright at all. In terms of performance, it makes a decent waffle. I've not had any stick unreasonably and it's easy to keep clean if you're using a Belgian waffle batter without any sticky ingredients. My sourdough waffle batter hasn't stuck yet. I find the browning a touch uneven compared to my previous waffle iron, but not to the point that the waffles are unappealing, burnt or raw in places.

Very happy with this purchase. I typically prefer a gourmet style Belgian waffle that you just put in an oven or toaster. This unit was really a nice surprise. I love going on vacation because we try to choose hotels with free breakfast and most of those have industrial waffle makers. So, this was the standard I judged this by. This was easy to use. The overflow tray is an absolute must. I like my waffles fairly crispy without being burnt. On the 4.5 to 5 setting this works perfectly. I sometimes add blueberries and it may look slightly burnt when using blueberries it never tastes burnt. It tastes amazing! The only complaint is it can be a little tough to clean as almost any fixed grill might be. I just wish the grills were removable. They clean easy with a wet paper towel but you have to “dig” into the grills to get stuff off. Maybe a long bristled brush would fix this? Finally, this is well worth the price that we paid. And although this unit is going to be used on a weekly basis I feel it is very well priced considering what you get and the quality. Very happy waffle eater here!

Great waffle iron! Ive made several waffles on this since it was delivered and it works great. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves waffles and doesn't really need a commercial weight/priced waffle iron.

This waffle maker takes up a decent amount of space for a simple appliance so keep that in mind.Pros: Cheap and well made.The stainless steel is easy to clean and inside is nonstick.Handle rotates smoothly although it ticks a little when turned.The waffles come out perfect each time, not falling apart and evenly cooked.Temperature control and timer is accurate.Quiet except for the sound of steam hissingCons: I didn't really think of this beforehand, but you can't actually take this apart to clean. You just have to wipe it down constantly, which isn't bad since it doesn't leave residue and I just make basic waffles in it, but I would like to have had an option to do more thorough cleaning.The handle works well and has no problems, but feels like really cheap plastic, making me worry about how long I can actually use this.

Waffles come out just as good as a restaurant. The recipe that comes with it is also incredible. The temp adjustment is nice so you can make them as dark or light as you like.

I always wanted a waffle maker. Now I have one and it is great! So easy to use. Really no cleaning needed unless you over fill the waffle maker. All you do is plug it in let it heat up and spray with Pam Fill the waffle maker with the mix and shut the cover. I use the highest heat level after making waffles a few times. You can see steam so you know when to turn the waffle. There really is no way to make an error except to overfill. I sometimes make them ahead and wrap them in a type of plastic wrap and put in the fridge. They can be heated up in the toaster oven and come out just as good as when they were made. Oh yes this is fun. I make ice cream sandwiches with the cooked waffles. So there is no waste. No clean up. Just good eating. Perfect waffles every time.

After trying several waffle irons, this one has performed the best. It was very easy to use and easy to clean.

I use spray oil on for the first waffle only. I do not use non-stick spray, just pure oil. The waffles are very consistent with no surprises. The different settings and batters make for different results but those results are consistent for that setting/batter. I use muffin recipes by adding an extra 1/2 cup milk and it works great. I use the 3/4 cup that comes with it and have never once had any batter come out the side. I do wish it had an audible beep but oh well. I am not a waffle guy so I was surprised that even "crispy" waffles are not as crispy as I expected. I put the toaster on the table and anyone that wants them crisper pops them in. They do not over cook or burn and come out crispy. This is an even better idea for all the waffles I put in the freezer. Take one out, touch the frozen button, hit the start button.....perfect. I use only paper towels for clean up. Yes you do have to take some time with it but it wipes right off. In fact, the only thing to wipe off is moisture. I never had uncooked batter, burned batter, etc. Last comment, it works great but handle it gently. If you have nuts and stuff in the batter, close it slowly giving it a chance to settle. You can break plastic and thin metal if you expect too much from it.
