Cuisinart Round Flip Belgian Waffle Maker, Black/Silver, 1 inch thick, WAF-F30NAS

I had an Oster Belgium waffle maker in the early nineties. It lasted for 25 plus years. I was searching for another Belgium waffle maker that was similar to the original one. I wanted a light, fluffy, and thick Belgium waffle. I bought this one for Christmas brunch, I decided on the flip (double) waffle out of convenience. This is a veru good waffle maker, the flip funtionality is amazing. I can make enough waffles for a crowd, and still eat with everyone before brunch is finished. This waffle maker is also great to make waffles for the week, store them and toast them to have a quick and hot breakfast during the week. The best part is the clean-up. I use a damp rag or cloth to wipe out the inside of each griddle and after cooling wipe down the outside as well. It is clean and fast to use. The first pic shows the inside and how you can section off waffles for lil's or if you are making various types of waffles for a brunch. The second pic shows the middle setting (which is what I use all the time) left to right- the darkest was after making several waffles, the middle is the perfect golden brown, and the far right was the first batch which runs lighter. The final pic shows how thick and fluffy the waffle is and how nice it comes out of the griddle. I do use an olive oil spray every other time to set the plate so the waffles will not stick. This also makes clean up a breeze! I would highly reccommend this version for a family breckfast or when you are hosting a crowd. Also great for making ahead of time and freezing or putting in the fridge for a weekly meal prep. This was also my first Cuisineart waffle maker purchase.

Took me a day or two to figure out how much batter to use, but I really enjoy this waffle maker. The first day I put a little too much batter in so it wouldn’t fully close to be able to flip over. The batter expanded too much and wouldn’t allow it to latch/lock to flip/twist it upside down. It’s very easy to clean compared to my last one. The cook time is perfect for me when I have it set at 3. I can see this lasting. The ease of turning it over and the pan underneath to keep counters clean works well.

I cannot believe I paid approximately $100 for a waffle maker. And more importantly, would say that it is worth every penny! I love this thing!! I have used it for several months now and have found: It heats well/ fairly quickly, cooks well-you really can get crispy and soft waffles at the same time (setting 4), doesn’t stick (use a bit of butter on both the top and bottom), and notifies you with a loud beep when it is done cooking. Plus it cooks 2 waffles simultaneously. At my house we have pretty much given up pancakes for waffles because of this machine and how easy it is to operate and clean (plates do not come off; I use a damp rag to clean) and because of how quickly we can get the waffles done. I know-$100 is a lot to pay for a product that only does one thing (makes waffles). But in my opinion it is definitely worth it. If you have used a Belgium waffle maker at a hotel breakfast, this is very similar(if not identical) to that. The waffles that you make on this machine come out like the ones you make at the hotels (or order at a restaurant). You just need to experiment with what type of waffle mix to use/make.

I ordered this Cuisinart WAF-F30 Round Flip Belgian Waffle Maker and it arrived very quickly. I got the one that makes one waffle at a time because it is just my husband and me. That said, this waffle maker cooked the waffle in at least half the time of my former maker…. about 2 minutes. So, it will be easy to cook multiple waffles for guests. The light goes on when it’s ready, you pour in the perfect amount of batter with the included 1 cup dispenser. You then smooth out the batter, flip and the green light goes off. When it comes back on the waffle is done. These 1-inch-thick waffles came out soft in the middle with a crisp outside. This is so much better than my previous Hamilton Beech waffle maker, where the waffles were gummy. The non-stick plates work really well, no sticking at all and the nooks are deeper than conventional waffle irons. I like the fact that there is a drip pan included but it is unnecessary as the dispenser makes it easy to put in the exact amount of batter necessary. I agree with another reviewer that the machine feels a bit flimsy. I noticed this when I cleaned the top plate when I got it out of the box, it felt a little wobbly, but I used soap because it came from the factory, and I was trying to get it all off. Now, I can just wipe it clean after use, and not worry so much about a deep cleaning as the iron really has a good non-stick surface. I think this is perfect for home use, it is not a commercial waffle iron. This is kid friendly, as it is similar to those used at breakfast bars in hotels. Positives: • Very easy to use • High grade non-stick surface • Measuring cup to avoid overfilling • Super-fast cooking • Small size • Drip catcher • Very reasonably priced Negatives: • No on off switch (have to unplug) • No buzzer when waffles are done For the money this is an excellent little cooking item. It works very well and is cleverly designed. If you are cooking for a crowed, get the double model, if it is just a couple this is fine. 5 stars

OUr second one works just as well as the first one we gave to son's family Might have to buy two more if other kids want one :)

Llevo ya un tiempo usando esta waflera, es mi primer máquina para hacer wafles y es realmente fácil de usar, una vez caliente los wafles salen super rápido y con el ajuste de temperatura puedes elegir qué tan crocantes los quieres, muy fácil de usar y con la alerta audible puedes ocuparte en otra cosa, incluye recetario. Excelente waflera

Not really non-stick AND messier than ever despite the addition of a small plate! Need a LOT of oil or spray to make the waffle somewhat retrievable in one piece! Clean up is OILY! Disappointed!! Given the price, expected way more. It's no better than the same model we have owned for a number of years. We end up making small waffles on our little DASH single waffle maker - quick, non-stick and perfect results!

Apenas voy a cumplir un mes con la wafflera, todo excelente. Fácil de usar y limpiar. Waffles rápidos y es genial poderlos sacar al mismo tiempo.

Muy buen aparato, me gusta que emite sonido cuando calienta y cuando el waffle está listo; super que se pueda regular la temperatura. Y poder hacer 2 consecutivos es genial...!!
