 Didn't live up August 26, 2008

Love Belgian waffles; especially with fresh whipped cream. Had just gotten a Liss whipped cream maker so I figured let's make some treats at home.
Went to a brick and mortar store because had 25% off coupon. My original intent was to purchase the Waring flip type model, but it seemed a little complicated and flimsy. Also the sales clerk said they had a lot of returns for that model and very little for the Cuisinart.
Back home the next morning. Used a commercial mix and added black cherry coffee syrup. The waffles tasted pretty good, but boy was my first time a mess. Batter oozing out etc. As a matter of fact my housekeeper said this is the worst thing you have ever bought. But I figured there is a learning curve with anything.
Fast forward a week. New recipe with real eggs etc. Waffles were OK. They were a little greasy and darker on the bottom. Thought the bottom darkness was from pouring batter and it cooking a little before top was closed. So I began working on moving faster and figuring out how much batter. By the way about 1/2 cup is just about right.
Waffles got worse with each new batch. Bottom dark and top light and pale looking. Worked some more still worse. Then it hit me the waffles were cooking from the bottom up! The top part did not heat!!
Three single uses and broken. Own a lot of other Cuisinart appliances with no problem, but this waffle maker is a turkey.
It looks good and they have redesigned the front to help with the batter coating the controls, but they kept the rolled edges which makes clean up a harder job than it should be.
Would I buy it now knowing what I know. That would be a toss up. Fresh waffles sounded good but the trouble of going through all the mixing, calculating, pouring, and clean-up just kinda took the fun out.

From the first waffle it made them perfectly. I tried from light to very crispy and each time they came out as advertised. I am still trying the wide variety of recipes that came with it, many very unusual and very good. I couldn't have made a better pruchase.

We love our new waffle iron! It's so fast! No mess either! I could do without the beeping, however. It would have been nice to have a model without noise, or at least the option of turning it off.
It started off great... February 17, 2008

I am a true believer in reading reviews done by people who have owned the product for a significant amount of time. Most products seem great when you first purchase them and the same rings true for this. When I purchased this waffle iron I loved it. It has been about a year and a half since the initial purchase. I make my kids waffles several times a week. So I really use it.
Here is the good stuff: The waffles do cook great and I love the timer. I get great waffles all the time thanks to the beep.
Now the issues:
1. The cost is high considering the low quality of the iron. I have cheaper irons that are built way better.
2. The temperture control handle broke within 60 days. I can use it but if falls off all the time.
3. It is a pain in the butt to clean. The grids do not come out and it's pretty heavy so it is difficult to wash.
4. The sides of the handle get really hot and the handle is not sturdy. They may have addressed this with the new model.
5. My newest issue, the non-stick coating is coming off. YUCK! I had my previous waffle maker for 10 years and the coating is still in-tact. Since non-stick coating is so dangerous for your health I am going to be throwing this out. Every time I use it there are more areas where the coating is chipping off. It has never been washed with anything more than a wash cloth, and no metal utensils are used.
I do not think this is a very good purchase. I hope my review is helpful.
That darn beeper! February 8, 2008

I purchased this Belgian Waffle Iron because I have a bed & breakfast and thought it would be perfect because of the speed of cooking as well as the size and the fact that it had a "beeper" on it to remind you that it was ready to cook and then again that the waffle was cooked. It even has variable temperatures. Well, I find that I want my waffles browned, so it's turned up, but the beeper goes off way before the waffle is ready. And it's really loud! So we have all been laughing at this little machine that keeps beeping me!
I had planned on buying a second waffle iron like this because I'm feeding lots of people, but I can't even imagine dueling beepers! It will drive us nuts. The clean up is fine, the storage is fine, the handle stays cool. Everything is great, except that darn beeper!
