Hamilton Beach - Belgian Waffle Maker - Stainless Steel

i love this waffle iron. So easy to use. i like the fact that the plates are removable and dishwasher safe. i also like that you can adjust the browness of the waffles. this is a god one. i use it pretty much every Sunday morning. the price is really good and affordable.

First waffle did not brown well and was a bit flat. They indicated in literature that browning would improve on subsequent waffles. 2nd one was better on the browning and reasonable as was the 3rd waffle that day. Using waffle mix from Sams club and waffle next day stuck and came apart. Third day I used it I oiled the non stick again per instructions and waffle was again bit flat and not brown. I eat waffles every day and purchased this one for the removable grids. However, due to removable grids, warm up time is excessive since heater is not attached to grid. And end product is barley acceptable. Probably will throw it in the trash. I have used Waring Pro before and my only complaint with them is I wear them out in couple years.

After reading sooo many reviews, I settled on the Hamilton Beach Flip Waffle maker. When I got it, I read the instructions and followed them. I sprayed PAM on the removable grids and wiped them down. Then I made my batter the night before and put in the fridge. The next morning I made my first batch and believe me it came out better than a restaurant. I was amazed. The next morning I made batch #2 and they came out better than the first batch. The book says each time it gets better. I can't wait for the next time I make them. Price and quality from Hamilton Beach. KUDOS to them as they continue to make great products.

I have only had this product a few days and that's why I gave it average for durability..Haven't had it long enough to find out how long it will hold up...Made waffles the first night we had it for dinner and they turned out so good! It is easy to use and easy to clean...love the removable grids! And I love the tray under to catch any drippings!

I have only used it once, but so far so good. As other reviews have stated, it does not have it's own timer. I really don't see that as a problem, at least not for me. I have two timers close by in my kitchen. One is on the regular stove and the other is on the microwave. I didn't have any problems the first time I used it. It has a drip pan which I love in case there is an overflow. I followed the directions carefully and there was no overflow when using the amount they told you to use.
