Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle Maker vs Cuisinart WAF-300P1

The second batch after a google search was a bit better... I thinned out my batter and the waffles cooked better and we were able to eat them (with ice cream!!!!!)

There are like a lot of reasons why i love it and there's like two reasons: why i don't like it, but why don't we just start off with why i like this ...

Buttermilk banana nut, oatmeal chocolate chip, pizza, cinnamon roll and so much more easy cleaning and storage. Extra strong non-stick coating for the...

This is an excellent waffle maker. Straight forward process, mix the batter, pour it onto the hot waffle iron, close it up and wait for it to beep. Consistently turns out good waffles. The plates are easy to pop out and wash as necessary

As long as you are careful to avoid filling the included measuring cup past the fill line, the mix will not overflow when you close the waffle maker. This is a great addition to an already impressive product as cleaning up that sticky waffle mix is one of my LEAST favorite parts of making waffles! It took about five minutes to heat all the way up but once it did, I was pumping out waffles in no time! The quick cook time was awesome and a real time saver, especially when cooking for a family of five! The non-stick coating made cleanup a breeze and eliminated the irritation of having to scrape the waffles or waffle remnants off the maker as I've had to do with other models. Overall, this is a really well made, sturdy product that Chefman put a lot of thought into. I really love mine and could never go back to my old waffle maker!

) cooking complete. The instructions mention this in an obscure place but good to emphasize: Use a cooking anti-stick spray the first time and at the beginning of every cooking batch to "season" the grids or plates, it does help the food to release. First time it's heated up there is some vapor or steam coming off it, probably food-grade oils from production finishing, so wash it and let it heat up and then open to vent it before loading in batter the very first use. Recommendations for Cuisinart: Well done but some suggestions: 1

This one is perfect. A buyer of any model or make needs to understand that the results you get are highly dependent on the batter recipe you use. A great baker friend of mine told me once, the difference between pancake and waffle batter is baking powder. The is NONE in waffle mix

I have used this iron about a dozen times now, and have come to really like it. You can too! First, butter the griddles when it's cold, then it is not necessary to do it again after that. To get the waffle to be brown on top, you MUST put in sufficient batter so that it has sufficient contact with the griddle plate! I used a one-cup measure, and QUICKLY poured one cup for each half of the griddle (I have the 4-waffle iron). Since I work quickly I don't really get to dump the entire cup, it works out to a bit less than ONE CUP PER 2 WAFFLES

Poor design. You need to have a handle on both lower part of the waffle maker and the top. This one only has a handle on the top. This means that if the waffle is sticky, you will have no way to separate the top and the bottom without burning your hand

I thought I was missing 2 feet it arrived. I called customer service and was surprised as some of the other reviewers here were, to learn that this how this unit comes, with only 2 rubber feet. I couldn't believe it and the customer service rep really wasn't going to do anything about it, except said that is how it comes. What a poor design and the reason I am giving this review 3 stars as I wanted to give top stars as everything else has been great

Overall, this is a really well made, sturdy product that Chefman put a lot of thought into. I really love mine and could never go back to my old waffle maker!

the top of the waffle doesn't get as done as the bottom. this appliance is very cheaply made, the stainless steel feels like tinfoil, the waffle plates are very thin, the temperature dial seems like it's going to break off at any minute. overall; the waffles came out average, but inconsistent. the appliance didn't break but seemed like it would at any moment

And it's small, light, and so much easier to store than our last waffle iron. Note: we did receive this waffle iron for free in exchange for a review. But I can legitimately say we love it, will be getting rid of our old waffle iron, and will be using this one exclusively going forward. And will be making waffles more often because it is so easy all around

The WAF 150 only has waffle plates which cannot be removed. Neither iron can be used as a grill or to make grilled cheese sandwiches. While the irons look the same in size the WAF 150 is larger in both its exterior size and the size of the waffles it makes. It will make 4 square waffles that come out to one giant waffle that is 9 1/8” by 9 1/8” square and has larger dimples

For the price this is ideal. Small, easy to store is a huge plus too. Cooks well, as easy to clean as most so overall a good value!

Also have no idea why this would need a dial setting, you just cook the waffles until the steam stops. Unnecessary extra features just for the sake of features. The $70 pricetag is excessive for what is essentially a $20 appliance. Not worth it in my opinion
