Breville BWM520XL No-Mess Waffle vs Breville Smart 4-Slicer BWM640XL

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.

00]. It is, trust me, it's worth every penny. It tells you when it is the proper temperature to put the batter in [very important to wait until it tells you] AND dings 3 times to let you know when they are done. Even cooks any batter in the overflow moat around it to perfection

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

It's very clean, looking with brushed stainless steel housing and cast aluminium cooking plates coated with pfoa-free nonstick coating. The LED screen...

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

The pfoa-free nonstick finish releases your waffle easily, so clean ups. A breeze and the lid locks down, so the waffle maker can be easily stored on ...

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.

We have a family of four, so the size is perfect. The design is awesome from the moat around the edges of the machine to catch the drips to the light/dark control and overall usability. The “a bit more” button is really nice. We use it much more than I ever thought we would

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 manufacturer recommends just wiping with a damp wash cloth or sponge to clean. Let's face it, a waffle maker is not an easy thing to clean, but the non-stick surface on this maker has made cleaning easier--I first use a silicone basting brush to "flick" out, if any, remaining tiny pieces of waffle and then wipe with a damp sponge. The maker was received timely--there was a slight delay with the carrier due to bad weather conditions, it was well-packaged and in great condition.

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!!!

If you plug it in when you start collecting and mixing the ingredients, it will be hot before you are ready to pour the batter in. The timer and settings are simple, clear to see, and easy to use. You can see exactly how much time is left until the waffles will be ready, and it beeps when the timer hits zero, so if you're at the table eating one batch, you can hear when the next batch is ready. The waffle pattern is deep, making thick 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

This waffle iron was insanely expensive. Good thing I'm rich. I could have gotten a waffle iron for 30 bucks, and here I paid .
