Chef’sChoice WafflePro Classic Belgian 840B

Pros: 1. quick--maybe 2.5 min/waffle for this, vs. 6 min/waffle for the old iron, even when it was new. 2. red and green lights are v. good. 3. [Barely] audible "ready" beeper is v. good idea, but too easy to miss with any interfering noise. Frequency is super-high, not good for older or damaged ear...

I would give this four stars except for the fact that it did not specifically say no instructions to set the temperature control to four or five in order to cook waffles. I really don't understand why they even have numbers zero through three as they do not cook the waffle batter at all and end up l...

Well that is what I get for following a recommendation from America's test kitchen. It was supposedly their top rated waffle maker. Mine is a mediocre middle of the road waffle maker. It does not make any crispy or browned waffles unless you just ignore the signals that it is done and let it cook lo...

This is a very good waffle iron for its price class. Fairly powerful and versatile. But it can't compare to it's much pricier and superior sibling, the M850. If you are a waffle fanatic and can afford it, I recommend the M850, it cooks hotter, makes bigger waffles, etc. In this price range I prefer ...

I had no idea how hard it would be to find a suitable replacement for my cheap old Toastmaster Belgian waffle maker! It ran and made perfect waffles for over 10 years, but started sticking badly. Looking back I wish I had tried harder to just re-season and keep, rather than replacing. The problem wi...

This came highly recommended by America's Test Kitchen. As noted by others this does not really make "Belgian" waffles. Rather it makes more-or-less standard (thinner than Belgian) waffles capably and consistently. Two caveats, however. The "Ready" alarm feature, which I really wanted, has proven to...

I hate to knock a product, but this waffle maker has some problems. If the waffles came out looking like the picture in the ad, I would be happier. I have tried 5 different mixes, Brand names. I have tried crisp and the only thing that is crisp, is the outside 1/8". These waffles are very thin, no I...

First waffle maker we've had and we couldn't be happier. I disagree with some reviews and feature lists I've read. I do like this waffle iron and would purchase again, but to set the record straight: - Clean up is easy, even if you spill a little into the overflow, everything wipes up with a paper t...

Santa brought us the M840B in 12/2011. It makes awesome waffles, and is very easy to use. However, after only 4-5 uses, the non-stick coating began showing up in our crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside waffles. We returned it to Chefs Choice, and then promptly ruined the identical replacemen...

I use the setting for crisp waffles and this machine doesn't dissapoint. A setting of 5 makes the waffle crisp and nicely dark. Instructions recommend using a half cup of mix to prevent overflow but do not take that as an absolute. I have had overflow using a half cup measure and even using less. It...
