Cuisinart WAF-F40 Double Flip Belgian Waffle Maker, 1400 watts, New Black/Stainless

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.

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.

Works as advertised, although there is some discrepancy in the doneness of the cooked waffles from one side to the other. Got used to that pretty quickly, and it generally produces great waffles fairly quickly. It is a bear to clean, because you have to let it cool and then try to wipe the channels in the grids with folded paper towels, but the nonstick coating works very well overall. Bulky to store in a kitchen cabinet.
