Hamilton Beach 26031

Hi, I'm Kara for Hamilton Beach, and this is the removable grid flip Belgian waffle maker. Don't you just love Belgian waffles covered with butter and...

Overall, solid 3 stars. It is easy to use, makes good waffles, and I love that the plates are removable. The mechanisms used to release the plates, at least on the one I received, are a bit of a pain. One of the mechanisms stuck horribly. Brand new, out of the box I tested the removal mechanisms of ...

This is a decent, reasonably-priced waffle maker. It's quite easy to clean with the removable plates and drip tray. Some of the other pieces might be harder to clean in the future. The biggest problem is that the heating elements don't heat the waffle surfaces evenly: one half of the waffle is alway...

I liked the construction and fairly ease of use. However I feel like it took too long to heat up and there was completely uneven cooking. Towards the handle it cooks quicker. Also the outside side if the waffles heat/cook at half of the strength. So you are left with flabby on one side when the othe...

Around part of the edges of the waffle the dough is not cooked. It is mushy. I returned the waffle iron and ordered the same one again hoping this was an anomaly. I sure like that the waffle plates are removable and can be put in the dishwasher.

Disappointed waffles are done in some places not others and crisp outer in some not others. Would not buy again.

This is a creat waffle make I had my first one arrive with the handle broke off. It is really easy to use.

My Opinion... The Hamilton Beach 26031 I bought from Amazon last week had a major flaw that I could NOT live with. The waffles it made weren't ever truly brown and crispy. I set the knob to the darkest setting and the waffles still only came out medium blonde. I like my waffles to be darker. The rev...

We purchased this waffle maker to replace an older, similarly styled (flip) waffle maker that decided it was time to move on to the next life (that would be the recycled life or a landfill, wherever they took it). The old one was really nice, heavy, sturdy, and it had a light to let you know when th...

The functionality is great, with the exception of the uneven heating, which I gather is an issue for most waffle makers with removable plates. The materials that don't have anything directly related to baking waffles are pretty cheap -- the plastic stand/body is cheap, the drip tray is pretty cheap ...
