BLACK+DECKER Flip Waffle Maker, Silver, WM1404S, 4 Belgian Waffles

I’m really pleased with this waffle maker! It’s incredibly easy to use and heats up quickly, so I can have waffles ready in no time. The waffles come out exactly as expected—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—and the indicator light lets me know when they’re perfectly done. Cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the non-stick plates, and the compact design makes it easy to store. It feels durable and well-built, so I’m confident it will last for a long time. Overall, this waffle maker works exactly as promised and is a great addition to my kitchen. Highly recommend!

Bought this for my Dad for fathers day. Used it for the first time tonight. Easy to use, works great. Waffles were delicious. Waffles cook fast.

The waffle maker came quickly, within 2 days of ordering. I was so excited! Made 1st batch of waffles the next morning and they turned out great! (No sticking – of course, if you read the instructions, it tells you to condition the waffle plates before 1st use and toss the 1st waffle out, as it will be oily from absorbing the oil you put on there.) I have made waffles two more times since then, and I am very happy with it. This morning, on my last waffle, I accidentally overfilled it (by a teaspoon), and when I lowered the plate, it squished out the side and onto the outside. I fished the waffle out when it was done, unplugged it & lifted the plate up to cool. After breakfast, to my surprise, all I had to do was wipe it off and clean it with a sponge. You’d never know that happened! So, I am giving it 5 stars. If anything changes, I’ll give an update. So far, so great!!! (Except we’re getting fat. Sigh...)

This works great! Only thing I would want is a slightly larger drip tray for underneath but it cooks the waffles great! Easy to set up and clean. Waffles come out brown perfectly cooked in about 4-5 minutes.

It was 100°F outside in Dallas today (real feel 110°). Too hot to cook & clean up afterwards. I decided to try out my new waffle maker. I had prepped the cooking surfaces a couple of days ago per the instructions, using Trader Joe's Canola Oil because it was what I had on hand. Tonight I made a quick batter with Pearl Milling Company (formerly Aunt Jemima) Buttermilk Complete Pancake & Waffle Mix. Followed package instructions for waffles on the side of the box, letting the batter rest while the waffle maker heated up. Carefully poured the batter (the electrical cord could be a tad longer), closed the cover, flipped it over and waited for the steam to stop. There was a good bit of steam, so next time I'll make sure I set up as far away from the wall/overhang as possible. When I couldn't tell if it was steam or smoke coming up, I flipped it back over and raised the lid to find one beautiful, golden-brown waffle. I removed it to a plate using kitchen tongs and topped it with warmed Pearl Milling Company Butter-Rich Syrup. Simply delicious, easy, satisfying, fun Tuesday night dinner in less than 20 mins, start to finish. Add some sausage links or bacon if you want. Maybe heat up some canned or frozen cooked apple slices. YUM! So glad I invested in this beauty!

Best affordable waffle maker we have tried. Even cook makes a good waffle. I recommend this product

I use this waffle maker frequently and it is great for the price! I like that you can remove the plate to clean it. It cooks fast and evenly

This is a mixed review. There are quite a few things I like about this waffle maker. It is easy to use. It makes evenly browned good sized deep waffles that are crispy outside and fluffy inside. The waffles do not take long to cook, and you can make one after another without having to wait for it to reheat. Initial set up is simple; you have to pre-treat the grills by brushing on a light coat of vegetable oil and then just heat and go. I have made over a dozen waffles in the unit and have had no problems with them at all. You need no pretreatment on the grills after the initial brush of oil. You have no need to use any non-stick spray or fats, the waffles will not stick. Now for the not so great things. There is no heat adjustment. This is not a real issue since the iron cooks well and evenly. There is no audible tone telling you when the waffle is done, a green light indicates the waffle is done, but I like mine a bit crispier then the default, so all you need to do in leave it in 15-30 seconds more to your taste. The grills do not remove for cleaning, but they are still easy to wipe down. The hinge on the iron and the overall construction in the cradle seems a bit flimsy, but I had no problems with it, and don't think it will be an issue overall. The worst part is the handle of the unit. It is made to fold 90 degrees for storage. The hinge is poorly made and it does not lock well in the straight position so that when you go to turn the iron, the hinge actually pops and the handle bends making the turn a bit awkward and that is annoying. I can see someone getting a bit panicky that the hinge bends and tipping over the unit overcompensating and causing damage or injury. Once I noted this flaw, it was a simple annoyance but not enough to say the unit is bad, I worked with it. It still made excellent waffles. The three stars are there because the price of this unit is high when the negatives I have noted are taken into account and compared to the prices of other similar units that are less expensive.
