Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker, Vertical Iron, Silver, WAF-V100P1

Best waffle maker ever. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I don’t spray with oil and it always comes out easily. Makes fool proof waffles every time. This is a replacement for my first one that lasted many years.

I normally don’t write reviews, but decided to with this one. I had had about 3 previous waffle makers. Decided to try the standing one. Not sorry I did. I feel it’s the best maker out there. No oil or spray needed before making waffle, beeps when heated and waffle is done. Cleanup is easy. I make a lot of waffles so this is great. The only thing I would change is the design of the measuring cup it comes with. You should be able to see the lines better for amount of batter you put in, also should have a pour spout so it goes into center of maker easier. I would highly recommend this maker to anyone who loves Belgian waffles as much as we do. Thank you for this wonderful product.

I'm debating on giving 5 stars since I just used the waffle maker tonight for the first time but my experience has been great. I think I'll update this later and adjust the star rating if needed. Today I made 3 waffles. The first time I thought my batter was a bit thin and I used the # 3 setting recommended in the user guide. The # 3 setting was not crisp enough so I made another. Set on #4 and beefed up my batter. Oops, too thick! The batter only made about an inch headway down the maker so out with that one! Third time's a charm. Corrected my batter and got a much better result, golden brown and fluffy inside. I will try again on the # 5 setting because we like crispy waffles and see what happens. So I learned not to make my batter too thick and find out what setting suits my taste. Also, the cup used to fill the maker does give the absolute perfect amount to use. Don't over fill, the waffle won't look pretty and it's not necessary. The edges seal tight so the excess is at the top if you ignore the cup and overfill. Experiment the first couple of times so you can find the right consistency for your taste. This is such an improvement from a horizontal waffle maker where it's hard not to overfill. Best waffle maker I've had. I'd gladly give one as a gift. Pros: This is very easy to use. Set to the desired doneness and wait for the green light. Fill to maker using the filling cup. Wait for the beep. Eat your happy waffle. Clean up is so easy. Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe clean. I used a brush to remove a few crumbs between waffles and that worked very well. Vertical design lets gravity fill the plates evenly and the filling cup takes the guess work out of making a perfect waffle. Waffle removes easily from plates with non-stick tongs so no need to use a non stick spray. The waffle is truly a Belgian style waffle. Thick with deep set wells to hold a lot of melted butter and syrup. Fairly quick to the finish. About 3 mins for a dark, crisp waffle. The timer lights are big and easy to see and ready beeps are loud enough to hear if you step away to another area. Standing design is easier to store (in my kitchen anyway since I have limited shelf space). Excellent product with excellent price. Cons: If there is a down side so far I don't see it yet. If anything changes I'll let you know. However, you should pay attention to the user guide. The plate front/back and sides get HOT to the touch on the outside. Remember to only touch the clamp on the upper side near the funnel when opening or closing the maker. Once you are finished with the maker DO turn the setting to 1 and unplug. It does not cool down rapidly so exercise care when handling. Set it aside where you won't accidentally touch it. You want to keep the happy waffle feeling going so avoid any boo boos.

This is the second waffle maker I've tried, and it works significantly better than my old one. There are just so many features I like about this waffle maker: - Small footprint makes it easier to storage in my kitchen, where cabinet space is limited. - It beeps to let you know when you waffle is done (based on your preferred darkness-setting, 1-5), so you won't under or over cook it. This was a BIG improvement from my prior waffle maker, where I'd regularly undercook waffles. - Easy to use - you just dump your waffle mixture into the top of the machine and... that's it! - It gives you a PERFECT exterior. I use the "3" setting, and I got a nice light brown, slightly crispy exterior. YUM! Additionally, clean up was pretty easy, although I do wish I could give it a quick rinse in the sink (the instructions say to wipe down with a cloth instead). As a bonus, I liked the recipes I tried from the included booklet. Yesterday we made the lemon poppy seed waffles and they were a big hit with my kids!

Very nice waffle maker EXCEPT the Fill Spout at the top does not work! My first thought was my homemade batter was too thick but I just believe it's a design flaw (good idea that I was excited about). However, I will keep it because it's well made & the griddle plates are high quality non stick. I also love the beep to let you know the light has turned green & the upright design takes up less space for storing. I will just have to continue to open the maker, fill with batter, & shut to get perfect waffles.

Absolutely Fantastic. Tried it out this morning for breakfast and they turned out great. Deep square pockets/thick and crisp (if your recipe is right) and easy to use. without any over flow. Non stick coating is fab. No need to spray/rub any fat on the surface. Let’s you know when they’re ready.I used it on the No-4 setting as i like waffles more browned and they came out perfect. It comes with a good recipe book which i still need to go through. If you’re a true waffle fan then i highly recommend this machine.Have tried atleast 7-8 brands and acc. to me it’s the best one and is at par with the Ninja vertical one too. I prefer a round shape so that’s why i bought this. it’s a personal choice. Go for it. you will not be disappointed.

Excelente producto, me encantó la sencillez y calidad, la sencillez en el funcionamiento, casi cero derrames y la calidad es muy buena, responde a lo mencionado en la publicación

Wow! Yo estaba un poco escéptica y estoy sorprendida. Está increíble la wafflera, es muy precisa y suena cuando ya está listo el waffle. Vale la pena y su diseño está increíble, no se tira nada.

Me encantó! Los waffles quedan perfectos en muy pocos minutos

Me encanta, la taza mediadora es la medida perfecta, cumple con el dorado que le pongan y es super fácil de usar, muy práctica. La recomiendo 100%
