 This waffle maker cooks great but ... January 8, 2009
Bonny T. Daigle (Limerick, ME United States)
I purchased this production a month ago and found it to cook great waffles, but the timer does not always work. if the batter is cold the timer does not activate. so you have to time it the first time on the degree you want it cooked (we like 5) and then if you store the batter you will have to physically time it. the recipes that came in the book are excellent but time comsuming to make they all have yeast. I made a recipe from on line that did not require yeast and it was almost as good.

I bought this waffle iron because my family always enjoyed waffles when on vacation at a hotel who had them available for breakfast. This holiday season we had 22 family members descend on our home, and so I decided to purchase one of these for all to enjoy.
I was extremely happy with the performance, making 3 different recipes. All were great. For the price (about $69) it is very well worth it. I have absolutely no complaints.
I know how to fix this maker when it stops working January 7, 2009

I have had this waffle maker for a little over a year so it is now out of warranty. It just stopped heating up last weekend. After some online research I found out what goes wrong. When I plug mine in the orange light turns on and you can hear the relay click but it does not get hot. If you are experiencing this problem and you are out of warranty please don't throw out your waffle maker. It can be fixed and the part is only $1.50. The part you need is a thermal fuse and it can be found under the round stainless cover of the upper griddle. It is covered by a white silicon tube. Apparently this thermal fuse overheats and blows and power no longer gets to the burners. I have ordered my fuse and have not put it in yet but there are many blogs where this is discussed. This is a really great product but they either have the wrong size fuse in the unit or it was defective. Mine blew when i made a batch of waffles, turned off the unit and then turned it back on to make a second batch. It never heated back up. I kept my temperature control at 3.5. I hope this helps all you waffltiers out there. Also, the golden waffle mix is the best and you need to buy an isi brand whip cream dispenser. You add two pints of heavy whipping cream and three table spoons of powdered sugar and have the best whip cream for those tasty waffles.
Perfect waffles every time! January 6, 2009

My first impression when opening the box was less than delightful. Something flew out, and made a loud "crack". A few minutes later, I learned that it was the chintzy (and now broken) measuring cup that they include. So, if you decide to add this to your kitchen, be careful when you open the box.
I also was a bit surprised to find that the base is plastic. Maybe it's just me, but I expected it to be metal, or at least plated. I wouldn't say it looks cheap, but I'd expect it to be a little nicer for what this costs.
That all said, this waffle maker works really well. After spending a minute or two going through the manual and making some batter, I had really great waffles in under three minutes. There are alerts to let you know when the griddles are ready, when to flip, and when your waffle is done. Just going through the suggestions in the manual produced excellent results.
I was especially surprised by how easy it is to clean. If you properly season the griddles (using non-stick spray, or oil), there's hardly any residue left over, so cleaning the unit involves just a few quick wipes with a paper towel.
The base also serves as cord storage, which I thought was a nice feature, if you're like me and don't need to have your waffle maker constantly plugged in and ready for those unexpected guests who demand professional restaurant-quality waffles when they come by.
One thing that did leave me a bit disappointed though, was that this only makes waffles. I've seen similar units that have inserts that allow you to make crepes, too. Judging from the simple design, it doesn't seem like adding that versatility would have been a big deal. It's just another area where Waring decided to cut corners.
A good non-pro waffle iron January 6, 2009
Rex Kullmann
I am often amused by companies that slap the moniker "pro" on their products. It used to mean that a product was suitable for constant duty, such as a professional might ask of it. Now it's just a slap-on descriptor for products the manufacturers of which feel need a little more excitement.
This waffle maker is by no mean "pro." The instructions scream in bold letters "FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY." The base is molded silver plastic made to look like metal. Aside from all this dishonesty, this is a good waffle maker.
I made a big bowl of batter and invited some friends over for brunch. I invited them to make their own waffles. I gave them the measuring cup and told them the simple instructions. Wait for the ready light, put a measuring cup of batter in the iron, close it, flip it over and wait for the beep. The only confusion was that there wasn't more to do: "Don't I have to flip it halfway through... or... something?"
It was fun for everyone. My humble batter was from the waffle recipe printed on the side of a box of Bisquick. Still, they were fine waffles, cooked perfectly. We all agree that the best setting for crisp and tender waffles is "5."
When you first close the waffle maker on a new batch of batter, it'll almost certainly ooze and sputter out of the sides. It looks alarming and messy. But there's no need to worry. Batter simply flakes off the sides of the iron itself and the drip pan catches the rest.
I haven't found a downside. If you like waffles enough to devote room in your kitchen to an appliance that does only one thing, this is a fun and foolproof way to make great waffles.
