Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker, Vertical Iron, Silver, WAF-V100P1

This is the second waffle maker I've tried, and it works significantly better than my old one. There are just so many features I like about this waffle maker: - Small footprint makes it easier to storage in my kitchen, where cabinet space is limited. - It beeps to let you know when you waffle is done (based on your preferred darkness-setting, 1-5), so you won't under or over cook it. This was a BIG improvement from my prior waffle maker, where I'd regularly undercook waffles. - Easy to use - you just dump your waffle mixture into the top of the machine and... that's it! - It gives you a PERFECT exterior. I use the "3" setting, and I got a nice light brown, slightly crispy exterior. YUM! Additionally, clean up was pretty easy, although I do wish I could give it a quick rinse in the sink (the instructions say to wipe down with a cloth instead). As a bonus, I liked the recipes I tried from the included booklet. Yesterday we made the lemon poppy seed waffles and they were a big hit with my kids!

This is my first waffle machine, and I’m very happy with it! Very easy to use, very easy to clean and it never sticks to the surface. However, during the first few times there was a horrible smell no matter what I did I couldn’t get rid of the smell. After cleaning it with warm water and soap, I made waffles at least 6-7 times that I had to dump into the garbage bin because of the smell. If there was a solution and I didn’t know it, that’s on me, but I washed it multiple times and heated it without the batter in it just to get rid of the smell. Now that we have been using it for months, the smell is gone and we are very happy about it if you buy this just find a way to get rid of the smell in a different way.

I normally don’t write reviews, but decided to with this one. I had had about 3 previous waffle makers. Decided to try the standing one. Not sorry I did. I feel it’s the best maker out there. No oil or spray needed before making waffle, beeps when heated and waffle is done. Cleanup is easy. I make a lot of waffles so this is great. The only thing I would change is the design of the measuring cup it comes with. You should be able to see the lines better for amount of batter you put in, also should have a pour spout so it goes into center of maker easier. I would highly recommend this maker to anyone who loves Belgian waffles as much as we do. Thank you for this wonderful product.

Fantastic Belgian waffle maker. Simple to operate and...just works. We've used standard box/bag pancake mix (you just add a bit of oil in addition to the required water) and legit Belgian waffle mix (egg + oil + water). The Belgian mix is better IMHO but the kids love the pancake mix version as well. I found that the highest heat/cook time setting (#5 on the dial) works best. We like them crispy on the outside which #5 handles, but they still stay soft inside which is perfect. If you go less than #4 on the heat/cook time dial you will get lightly brown waffles which can be a bit flimsy... I don't use the included measuring cup when filling the machine with waffle mix. I use a mixing bowl with spout and slowly pour in mix until I know the waffle iron is full. Don't over-fill or you'll be wiping up a mess. The mix slightly expands when heated so pour slowly and watch for the "bubble up" of batter and then stop when just about full. When cooked you're left with a bit of an edge which I just cut off so the waffle is round... Clean up is also easy. Let the machine completely cool and just brush off the left over waffle bits. The non-stick cooking surfaces don't even need any cooking spray. Just use non-scratch tongs to peel the waffle off when done cooking. Overall it's easy to use, cooks perfect Belgian style waffles, and the kids love them w/ real maple syrup. So, it's a winner in this house. We also love our Cuisinart burr-grinding coffee maker and 11 cup food processor. All great products...

*Disclaimer* I have only used this waffle maker once since I purchased it. However, when shopping for a space saving waffle maker that didn't compromise on fluffy Belgium waffles, and was a brand I trust, I decided to give this a try. First, it is simple as hell to operate, just plug in and turn on and adjust the temp nob for desired "doneness". Easy peasy. Second, fill the waffle maker using the provided scoop. This was a bit more trial and error as there is no real markings on the scoop to show max or min amount to pour. Once I figured out to get the perfect roundness one wants from their waffle, I used a full to the top scoop per waffle. Third, ease of removal. This was surprisingly super easy. The angle of the bottom plate made it easy to get under the waffle and remove it. Lastly, clean up wasn't so much easy as it is a bit of a technique curve. I'm saying this because the bottome plate opens but doesn't lay flat due to the lack of weight on this portion. This is a no nrainer as they wouldn't want a hkt waffle maker flipping over on someone everytime its opened. With that in mind I would suggest using a kitchen grade "paint brush" to swipe away left over crumbs and debris from a cooled waffle maker. There were no seen leaks nor did I experience a eaffle that wasn't cooked right. My waffles turned out fluffy and perfect every time I made a waffle. I would reccomend with the caveat it's a bit hard to clean if that matters. Otherwise it's some of the best waffles I've had at home.

I love this vertical waffle maker. It makes perfect waffles every time. Yum! The waffle never sticks and no spray is required like other makers. Very minimal cleaning is ever needed.

So I tried this today to make waffles and holy smokes does it ever work great. From the box of Bisquik I used their measurements and it made a full 5 waffles. Great machine buy it if you love waffles.

Muy buena wafflera, funcionó excelente

Absolutely Fantastic. Tried it out this morning for breakfast and they turned out great. Deep square pockets/thick and crisp (if your recipe is right) and easy to use. without any over flow. Non stick coating is fab. No need to spray/rub any fat on the surface. Let’s you know when they’re ready.I used it on the No-4 setting as i like waffles more browned and they came out perfect. It comes with a good recipe book which i still need to go through. If you’re a true waffle fan then i highly recommend this machine.Have tried atleast 7-8 brands and acc. to me it’s the best one and is at par with the Ninja vertical one too. I prefer a round shape so that’s why i bought this. it’s a personal choice. Go for it. you will not be disappointed.

Hormis le nettoyage qui est un peu moins agréable, le produit est fantastique. De bonnes recettes sont fournies, de belles gaufres chaudes et de bonne épaisseur se font rapidement et simplement.

Excelente producto, me encantó la sencillez y calidad, la sencillez en el funcionamiento, casi cero derrames y la calidad es muy buena, responde a lo mencionado en la publicación
