Breville BWM520XL No-Mess Waffle vs Presto 03510 Ceramic FlipSide

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.

Gravity, I guess. 3. If you are going to drip batter, try to avoid the area where the two little screws are. It's easy enough to clean it up with a little water and toothpick, but better if you don't have to

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

If I flip over the waffles a couple of times, kind of let them set and cook. It has a little timer feature right here so you can go ahead and click th...

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

This is really not a big deal, I just set a different timer. The nonstick ceramic is easily the best part of this waffle maker - it really is nonstick. I have found that I do have to lightly spray the waffle iron when I'm making waffles with stuff in them (usually chocolate chips for my kid), otherwise the waffles tend to split down the middle, with half on each side. Sometimes I don't bother spraying even then, because the waffles still taste good

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.

[updated January, 2011] We bought the Presto FlipSide to replace afaux pro waffler made by the blender company who shares its name with Fred W's Glee Club. That one cost twice the price and lasted a mere three years before going to pieces. It was "Pro" in name only. Presto took a simpler and possibly more durable approach: Engineer the hinge on a traditional counter-top Belgian waffle maker so it can flip 180 degrees and let gravity work its special magic

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

Electronic timer alerts you one minute before completion of timed cycle. Fairly easy to wipe clean after use, this units design allows you to vertically align the iron portion so that it fits easily on a shelf next to box mixes.

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!!!

The construction on this is great, easy to clean, perfect heating element and the flipping motion helps make a perfect waffle every time. Plus its a lot less clunky and takes up way less space than most Belgian waffle makers. The only downside is the timer. Ours worked for the first few weeks and now whenever we start it, the numbers fade as it gets to 1 or 2 minutes and than it's just blank and doesn't beep anymore

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

Spent a lot of time looking for the right one to start with and due to the reviews here on this site plus the price, I was convinced this would be the one.
