 Disappointing! June 15, 2008

My husband bought me this model to replace the 40 year old waffle iron that had been passed down by my Mom. After numerous attempts to make decent waffles with this iron, I have returned to using the old one. The waffle grills consistently fall out of the iron during use. The construction is flimsy, I would not recommend it!
 I must have a bad one...it is terrible! June 14, 2008

Based on the other reviews, I thought this would work for me, but it really is barely sufficient in doing either job. First off, the heat is very uneven from the front to the back. The front browns much more quickly than the back, leading to uneven sandwiches on the grill side, but worse yet, undercooked waffles on the waffle side! I use an old recipe for waffles that I have made for years, and I have NEVER tasted that recipe taste as badly as it did on this thing! Overdone on the outside edge of the front two, and underdone on the back two, to almost uncooked on the back edge. Besides this, it did not allow the waffle batter to rise, which made the waffles dense and chewy, and cooked what it did unevenly too! (overcooked was speckled) Nasty!
My advice is to keep looking! If you just want something that (sort of) makes a grilled cheese sandwich, this may work for you, though honestly a pan on the stove is quicker and more convenient in clean-up. But if you want something that really does the job it is advertised to do, this is not it, by any stretch of the imagination!
I give this a 1 star only because it turns on and heats, but will be the first thing I return to Amazon! Most times if something I buy doesn't work as well as I expect it to, I give it to Goodwill. But I would not do that to some unsuspecting person if they bought this thinking it would do the job for them!
Oh, and this is the SECOND disappointing Black and Decker product bought in a month! I think I see a trend here, and I will no longer consider anything made by Black and Decker.
Disappointed ... June 4, 2008

I was excited to find the Black & Decker Waffle Baker. I've been looking to replace my mom's 50 year old waffle iron for some time. Lots of research, lots of price ranges. The Black & Decker was made exactly the same. Try to find a "traditional" non-belgian square, 4 slice waffle maker is hard! I've seen the others in stores and frankly, they looked cheap!
So, probably caught up in nostalgia, I was very disappointed when the waffles didn't cook evenly. They were spongy not crisp even at the highest setting. The removable plates, which could be used for grilling, did not stay in place. Everytime I opened the iron, the top plate would fall out. The steel hinge holding the plates in weren't very secure. Plus, I noticed the non-stick coating chip a bit. That concerns me.
Needless to say, I'm returning the item. I'm disappointed. Maybe a cheaper one will do the work!

I bought this and the first thing that happened as the grills would not stay in place - particulary when you are cooking waffles - they fall onto each other causing burns etc. This thing is 5 months old and I'm buying a new waffle iron as this is junk. It is much better as something to make grilled cheese etc. but as a waffle iron - it stinks.
 And durable too! May 30, 2008

Not only is this as great as others have proclaimed as far as even heating, crispy waffles, and easy clean up, but I've used mine at least once a week for almost 25 years and it's as good now as when it was new.
