This unusual rotating waffle maker is sure to elicit admiration from brunch guests. Made of brushed stainless steel with black accents, the unit not only looks elegant but cooks professionally. After ladling the batter into the deep nonstick bottom plate, the top is firmly closed. After ten seconds, by means of the insulated handle, the waffle maker is rotated upside down and allowed to cook for the remainder of the required time (recipes and times are included in the user guide). The result: two perfect 1-1/4-inch-thick Belgium waffles, crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. A dial features variable browning settings, and two lights indicate when the waffle maker is on and when to add batter. Two curved fixed legs keep the maker upright and a drip tray fits between them to collect any batter overflow. A release button on the handle allows it to collapse for storage. Measuring 7-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches, the cook plates can be wiped clean or conveniently removed and placed in the dishwasher. With the handle collapsed, the waffle maker measures 13 by 8-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and is covered by a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
Krups calls it their Expert waffle maker, a handsome appliance that looks unlike any other waffle maker you've ever seen before. The elongated unit makes two large waffles that are a full 1.25-in. deep. An adjustable thermostat can be raised to a higher setting for waffles that are crunchy and crispy; turn the thermostat down and you can use it to re-heat already made waffles without over-browning the second go-round. The cooking plates are removable and dishwasher-safe for ease of cleaning. The stainless exterior is durable, and the insulated handle keeps hands cool and collapses to allow for convenient storage. At the bottom is a nonstick drip tray to catch any batter that spills over during cooking. A red light indicates the power is on; a green light illuminates when the initial cooking temperature is reached. 7.5 x 11.25 x 8-in.

 GREAT WAFFLES AND FEATURES June 29, 2008
Paula S. (Seattle Washington)
I have had this waffle maker for about 9 months now so decided I have used it enough to give a review. My waffles turn out great every time so that is the most important point. After one waffle you know how long to cook them to your taste. The features I like on the Krupp's are.....1. I have always had good luck with this brand and am not disappointed. 2. I love that the cook plates come out and I can put them into the dishwasher or sink. 3. I like that the handle folds down for storage and 4. I like the drip plate and that it is also removable. This is a heavy well make product in my opinion.

My family loves waffles. My school-aged children love to say that anyday there is a test they get a waffle breakfast because teachers always say to eat well before a test! We had a small typical waffle maker that was difficult to clean and made small waffles. As the girls aged there were more and more tests so I wanted a waffle maker that was easy to clean. No store carried anything close to what I was looking for, Amazon.com did! I was put off because it only makes two waffles at a time, and we always made four at once. But I loved the sound of the removeable plates for cleaning. I ordered the Krups and what a joy! It does only makes two waffles but they are huge! So large that each girl can only eat one. They even cook faster than the four did in the cheap maker. One of my girls likes light waffles and the other likes them crisp. The easy control knob makes this possible without opening and peeking a million times! The removeable plates make cleanup so easy. I just put them in my dishwasher. When the girls make their own waffles (and this maker is easy enough for a 10 and 12 year old to operate) they never fail to spill waffle batter from overfilling. This is also easy to clean thanks to the tray under the unit. The makers did an excellent job thinking of everything. The handle even folds down for easy storing. I am very happy with this waffle maker and I know I will continue to purchase products from this company. Friends have remarked that the unit has the feel and appearance of a professional restaurant appliance. It is a solid unit that works beautifully. I highly recommend this product. Oh, and since this is such an easy clean-up we have waffles any morning now, not just on testing days!
Fun to use and easy to clean June 24, 2008
Carol A. Johnson (Folsom, CA United States)
I had a hard time choosing between this model and the Pro Waring my mother has that I use when I visit her. I chose this one based on better reviews and the fact that it has the removable plates. This iron cleans up so easily with a damp cloth that I can't imagine ever needing to remove the plates. It is nice to get 2 waffles at the same time for my husband and I to eat together, but the round one you get from the Pro Waring could also be split. This unit does not come with a measuring cup like the Pro Waring, but after the first use, you can easily figure out how much batter to put into it to avoid major overflow.

We made waffles for 150 employees at 4 thank you breakfasts. The Krups was by far the favorite baker of the bunch. It worked great, turning out golden waffles.
The design and the drip tray made clean up a breeze. The extension of the non-stick coating on the outside of the removeable grids, along with the lip to keep drips from hitting the rest of the machine is great engineering.
I highly recommend this item.
 Authentic Liege Belgian Waffler BUT Uneven Browning June 19, 2008
Adam W. (Washington, DC)
PROS:
- Attractive brushed steel design.
- Adjustable heat setting.
- This waffle maker comes as close as you can get to true Liege (Belgian sugar waffles ~ not to be confused with regular Belgian waffles) waffle irons.
CONS:
- Uneven browning. The two waffle sections cook at different rates. It's bad enough to leave one undercooked or overcooked, when the other is "just right".
- No built-in timer.
So, if you only plan on making one waffle at a time, then it's an awesome machine. Otherwise, I would skip it in favor of something like the Presto 03510, which browns evenly (even though it lacks adjustable heat settings).
