BLACK+DECKER Flip Waffle Maker, WM1404S, 7" Round Belgian Waffles, Ready Light Indicator

Bought this for my Dad for fathers day. Used it for the first time tonight. Easy to use, works great. Waffles were delicious. Waffles cook fast.

Use it all the time, I love making banana & chocolate chip waffles, works good, good for the price

I absolutely love this waffle maker. It’s easy to use. Waffles come out thick and fluffy. Easy to clean.

This works great! Only thing I would want is a slightly larger drip tray for underneath but it cooks the waffles great! Easy to set up and clean. Waffles come out brown perfectly cooked in about 4-5 minutes.

The waffle maker came quickly, within 2 days of ordering. I was so excited!Made 1st batch of waffles the next morning and they turned out great! (No sticking – of course, if you read the instructions, it tells you to condition the waffle plates before 1st use and toss the 1st waffle out, as it will be oily from absorbing the oil you put on there.)I have made waffles two more times since then, and I am very happy with it. This morning, on my last waffle, I accidentally overfilled it (by a teaspoon), and when I lowered the plate, it squished out the side and onto the outside. I fished the waffle out when it was done, unplugged it & lifted the plate up to cool.After breakfast, to my surprise, all I had to do was wipe it off and clean it with a sponge. You’d never know that happened! So, I am giving it 5 stars. If anything changes, I’ll give an update. So far, so great!!! (Except we’re getting fat. Sigh...)

This was a slight splurge for me and I LOVE it. So incredibly easy to use and pretty much fool proof. Makes delicious waffles with absolutely zero sticking. I don't use any oil (instructions said it's optional) and the waffles still pop right out perfectly every time. Has become a breakfast staple in my house over the last month.

I’m really pleased with this waffle maker! It’s incredibly easy to use and heats up quickly, so I can have waffles ready in no time. The waffles come out exactly as expected—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—and the indicator light lets me know when they’re perfectly done. Cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the non-stick plates, and the compact design makes it easy to store. It feels durable and well-built, so I’m confident it will last for a long time. Overall, this waffle maker works exactly as promised and is a great addition to my kitchen. Highly recommend!

I have purchased both this and the BELLA Classic Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker 13991. Ultimately I recommend this one, over the Bella.Functionally, they work identically. They produce the same size waffles with the same pattern, the locking mechanism works basically the same, they both have the same folding handle, they both have a drip tray that can be slotted in vertically for convenience. I measured the temperatures and temperature evenness of the hot plates with an IR thermometer and they're similarly identical -- heating until 450°F, stopping heating until it goes down to 350°F, then turning heating back on until reaching 450°F. In fact, the two products are so similar that I have to assume they're made in the same factory in China.And the one functional difference them *seem* to have actually isn't -- the temperature control on the Bella (which the B&D lacks) has no purpose. I mean, it works. But there is simply no situation when you're making waffles where you don't want the maximum heat, where you don't want them to start out at 450°F. However light or dark you prefer your waffles should be determined exclusively by how long you leave them in. Lighter waffles should be done with less time, not a lower temperature. A lower temperature will only result in an undercooked interior. So the fact that the Bella has a temperature knob isn't a pro in any way, but it is one more thing that can break -- so it's actually a con, albeit a small one.But, so why do I recommend the Black & Decker instead? Quite simply, it looks much better in the kitchen. The Bella is made of glossy-smooth stainless steel, and a glossy-smooth plastic support that looks flimsy. It just looks kind of... cheap. Whereas the Black & Decker is made of *brushed* stainless steel, and a *matte* plastic support that looks and feels far more substantial. If you have a modern kitchen, then your fridge/dishwasher/oven/toaster oven/etc. are probably all finished in *brushed* steel. So the Black & Decker just "fits in" nicely. Whereas the Bella just looks cheap and unattractive. Matte finishes are just more attractive than glossy ones, generally speaking.If you don't care about looks, then just pick whichever one is cheaper -- they will make identical waffles. But if you want this to look good in your kitchen, then I completely recommend the Black & Decker instead.
