Breville Smart 4-Slicer BWM640XL vs Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic

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

Like most small waffle makers, it takes some experimentation to figure out how much batter to pour (it will overflow messily if you pour too much) and which temperature setting works best for your recipe and preferences (I currently have it one step below highest). And it does help to periodically hit the grids with some cooking spray to keep waffles from sticking. The maker says they've weighted the lid to help expanding batter flow into all areas of the grid. I say more weight would help

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

Made the first waffle, followed instructions, waited for the indicator to turn green, it was perfectly formed, did bit stick. Gave it to my husband to do a taste test and he said it tasted fine, the smell did not transfer over to the waffles. So I made the first batch and we ate them, it was so good! And so easy！I tried putting a little oil on the grills as well and it worked too so you can do that if you are afraid of the waffles sticking. But otherwise it doesn't burn as long as you follow the indicator light - pour in the batter when it is green, it'll turn red and take it off only when it turns green again

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

It still works to make waffles, but the base and handle is plastic and I wonder if it's going to break too. Good news: I called Cuisinart and with proof of purchase there was no problem for them to send me a new replacement. Hope the new one doesn’t break.

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.

what the industry calls "traditional" waffles. It was a challenging finding a machine that didn't make those overwrought Belgian waffles! I find this machine very easy to use. You heat it up, pour in the batter, and it times the correct color waffle for you. It comes with directions and recipes and literally takes about 10 minutes from batter mixing to waffle eating

! Its a little heavy but its totally quality and i can easily manage it..and im not young lol

If necessary I will come back to amend this. For now TWO THUMBS UP! thanks if u have read this far. Recommended: YES!

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

For 20 years I used a Farberware 800 waffle iron that performed flawlessly and made excellent waffles until it finally failed. The Cuisinart waffle iron reflects a disturbing trend to squeeze the last cent of profit out of consumers by cheapening the design of an appliance until it barely functions. This iron has been made so light and thin that it lacks the metal needed to maintain even temperature. As a result, waffles come out with a dark, crispy ring where the heating iron is located, while the rest of the waffle is light brown

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 ...

The nonstick coating is good and I usually only had to spray it with oil once for the first waffle and nothing would stick to it. However, here are the reasons I am giving it 1 star: 1) The done light is insanely inaccurate, particularly on the high settings. I usually had to wait an extra minute after it turned green before the waffle was really browned. 2) The lip around the edge of the waffle shape on the iron is too shallow allowing lots of batter to leak out instead of pushing the lid up which brings me to the next item

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 .

Perhaps they could have designed that interface better, but hey - it works, I understand now why it feels loose, but it's just fine, and so I no longer care about that feature. I reassembled the unit and made breakfast. Yum! I recommend this iron, ESPECIALLY for the price! a definite bargain, in my opinion.
