Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic vs Uncanny Brands DWM-SRW-MF

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.

Unable to adjust temperature even though instructions state otherwise. No adjustable part on the iron. Waffles are too light. Keeping as a Star Wars display

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

The only drawback is it takes a few attempts before you figure out how much batter to pour in, to get a full Millennium falcon instead of half of one.

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

I mean, it doesn't take a long time It's non-stick, which is really awesome and for my work that I need something like that where I don't have to clea...

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

I thought I had it all cleaned, wiping down with a warm soapy wash cloth, carefully (the plates are not removable without unscrewing them), but learned the hard way that there was plenty more under the heat plates that leaked when the waffle maker was stored on its side. I feel less confident in its use but we’ll see. This is definitely a design flaw.
