Waring Pro WMK200 Belgian Waffle Maker, Stainless Steel/Black [DISCONTINUED]

We love this waffle maker and use it regularly. Some folks don't like the way the waffles come out. But, we have learned to play a bit with the temperature dial, to find the setting that works best for us. We start it off hot, and then after cooking 1 or 2 waffles, we turn down the temp. The only thing I don't love is the clean up. I have learned to use "less" oil. I put a Tbsp of oil in a bowl and then dip a brush into it. Then I paint the inside of the waffler, making sure not to use too much. Otherwise, the oil drips when you flip the waffle and it makes a mess on the outside of the machine. We love our waffles with fruit baked in. You need to be careful not to add to much or it will stick, regardless of how well you oiled the grates. If you make the waffle and add the fruit on the side of the finished waffle you will have better luck. This machine does not come apart, like some do, for cleaning. *The above opinion is entirely my own and not part of some promotion.*

We pulled out waffle maker last week and was very disappointed to find it no longer worked after only 13 mo. We were already disappointed with this waffle iron as it has no beeper to alert you waffle done and the light is so dim you can't see when it goes on to let you know waffle is done. We had to open it a bit to peek to see if done or not. Annoying as sometimes you don't peek soon enough and other times you might peek a little early & separate it a bit. I would not have reccommend buying this waffle iron before it broke but since it has been shown to be unreliable, I would definitely say avoid this waffle iron. We are careful with this waffle iron. Store in safe place in cupboard & still broke. Our prior we bought for $50 at Costco and it lasted about 10 years. They didn't sell that brand anywhere anymore, we had to choose a new. Bad choice. 👎🏻

My husband wanted to go out for waffles one morning and I suggested we buy this instead and have waffles whenever we want them with out leaving the house. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made!! This waffle iron is great. It's easy to use, cleans up well, is light weight, and makes delicious waffles. We've gotten addicted to making brownies in this waffle iron and they are such a hit that my 4 year old grandson had them instead of cake at his birthday dinner. I especially like that the handle on the measuring cup is open so I can hang it on the inside of my batter bowl and avoid messes. I have used this with many different recipes. We've tried several gluten-free recipes, chocolate waffle recipes, brownie batter recipes... We've always been quite satisfied.

Makes nice waffles! I do not have experience with other waffle irons to compare but here is the pro - waffles are nicely shaped and everyone loves them.Cons- hard to clean because the iron part is not removable. There is no on / off switch so if it is plugged into the outlet it is going to be hot. I have not noticed any difference in the outcome of the waffle based on where the temperature dial is set. You have to watch and wait. I usually poor in the batter then wait a little and peek to see if it is done to my liking before I take it out. Sometimes it has stuck to both the top and bottom iron - I have used an old pair of wooden chopsticks to loosen it from the top iron before opening completely. All in all we love our waffles and have fun making them - but this is not the easiest waffle maker.

I've already made more waffled in one month than I probably ate in two years. Who knew waffle-making could be so easy? And fun!Perfect waffles are finally within reach. They come out of the make effortlessly and don't stick at all.Clean-up is a breeze. It is going to ooze some waffle batter out of the side a little if you over-filled it or if the device is titled a tiny bit once closed. But, the good news is that the drip catching pan beneath it catches every drop and any batter that dries on the sides of the cooking portion comes off with the slightest pressure of your finger. Super easy.The ease of following the indicator lights can have you feeling like a pro and wanting to open a corner Waffle-eria cart downtown. =)

It is OK. I expected a better quality. It feels flimsy. It does not make the waffles crisp on the outside even on the highest setting, and does not evenly brown the waffle. I think the it is a bit pricey for the quality. When this one quits I will look elsewhere.I find that when I flip the waffle iron over to cook the other side I get a "volcano action" from the sides. The batter will spirt out while it is releasing the steam, and I am not overfill the iron. I use the provided measuring cup.The attached photo was cooked on level 5 with only 6 settings.

I had been making buttermilk blueberry pancakes on Sunday Mornings for over a decade. Out of the blue one week, my son wants to change things up and have waffles. My old waffle maker was from the 1990's, but I used it to make serviceable waffles, but the burnt bits that had been lying dormant for a decade proved to stubborn to effectively clean. I happened to be flipping channels and came upon this Waring model on one of the Home Shopping channels. I did the slightest bit of research and found it on Amazon at a slightly lower price than advertised on TV. Tbe rest is waffle history. Have used it almost every weekend for about two months and it has made terrific waffles. Plus I take the extra time to make sure it's super clean after the last batch, lest it sit dormant for a decade like the last one.UPDATE:It worked for 18 Months and then just stopped one Sunday a month ago. I used it twice a month on average so that's 36 or so uses for $80. I'm taking away two stars. It worked well when it worked, but should have lasted much longer for the price. Probably why it was discontinued.
