BLACK+DECKER WMD200B vs Breville BWM520XL No-Mess Waffle

If you hold it this way, this thing could probably break we're going to unravel the plastic cord and we're going to cut this zip tie here immediately ...

There we go. So simple and the ready lights ready to go for our second batch. There we go. The No Mess waffles super easy

Nonstick deep grids, effortlessly turn out waffles, with plenty of room for your favorite toppings and for added peace of mind. The swivel handle lock...

Then pour in your waffle batter (I found that 1/3 cup of the batter I use is perfect). Close the top and wait. Once the ready light comes on and the tone goes off you are ready to remove a perfectly cooked waffle then add more batter and repeat. Incredibly simple

The non stick interior ensures your waffles will not stick to the iron. I love being able to make 2 waffles at once. This is perfect for larger families. The removable drip tray catches any spills you may have and it's easy to wipe clean

The initial odor from the non-stick surface seems less than with others I have tried, though it is still there. I have found I use the maximum browning setting, but I am also using a gluten free mix. Not sure if the gf makes a difference; may just be that I prefer a crispier waffle. Breville is kind of like the Ferrari of kitchen appliances; they are stylish and perform well

Just received the waffle maker yesterday and it is having issues right out of the box. In short, the timing has to be just right to get the waffles cooked the same on both sides. I am going to play with it for a while to get the timing down better.

Favorite feature is that it tells you when the waffle is done - the ready light goes on and the device beeps (presumably temperature derived). So much better than a different waffle maker I had tried before that simply had a timer that had no sensitivity to the necessary cooking time. Easy to clean, very straightforward to use. I love my stack of waffles - going into the freezer for easy keto breakfasts and snacks!!!

You can make two waffles at once and you just snap it shut when you're done. It does have a drip tray that comes right out, so you can wash this you i...

Use only 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, as recommended in the basic recipe, and pour it a little toward the front of the machine to prevent the batter from flowing out the back when you close the machine. This machine is about as difficult to clean as other waffle irons -- the plates aren't removable, and you'll have to use ear swabs to get into the grooves. Minor nuisance for such good waffles, though.

Obviously, the wiring moves inside the protectors, as this unit flips, the wiring then should be overbuilt to accommodate this frequent stress on the wires. I will not buy this unit again due to this perceived design flaw.

However, it is simply not a match for the All-clad. I want a louder beep and a waffle that is easier to get out of the machine. I wanted to love this but I’m afraid that I do not.

Very frustrating. The price is good, but this is NOT the waffle maker for anyone who are serious about their waffles. If that's you, don't waste your time, money, or energy on this one, splurge for a better brand. The better brands cost only slightly more and they last a decade and make perfect waffles

I have used this waffle maker for a couple weeks and while I like it, I honestly don’t think it’s worth the money. We had a $25 one we’ve used for several years (at least once a week) that kicked he bucket, and after a lot of research I decided on this one. I figured since we cooked waffles a lot I’d “splurge.” However, the first waffle is always too done, even if done on the lowest setting
