There isn't anything I don't like about this Waffle Maker.

It uses a red light/green light system to tell you when the waffles are ready (other than a noisy timer like other waffle makers). What I liked best about the Cuisinart is that it had 6 setting for lightness/darkness. I like my waffles on the dark side, so I was glad my waffle maker gave me this option.

With it's non-stick surface the waffles come right out, and clean-up is a snap.

The heart shape is fun for kids too! I'd never go back to a regular square or round shaped waffle. You can pull these apart into individual heart shapes or leave them together for one large flower shape.

You'll want to make Waffles every morning with the Cuisinart Heart-Shaped Waffle Maker!

We had our first waffles this morning, using the Cuisinart Belgian Waffler. Couldn't have been easier to use, and the waffles couldn't have tasted better! The non-stick coating releases the waffles instantly. The reason I rated it four stars instead of five, is that if the batter oozes out of the waffler, clean-up is a bit harder.

I have the model with the round knob on the top. This unit looks like it may have replaced the one I have, moving the temp control to the front. Otherwise, it is the same. I have used many waffle makers from the cheapest B&D to the fancy new Villaware. I keep returning to a pair of these that I have. Strong heating elements, thorough and fast cooking, non-stick is holding up great and very even cooking. Nice crispy waffles. The lock down is the key as it forces the batter to rise up into the upper pockets where they are cooked evenly. This IS THE ONE, trust me.

I make a variety of whole grain and fruit waffles. I bought this waffle maker because most of the others do not have an adjustable browning control - I would be guessing how long to leave the waffles in as I tried different recipes. This maker works very well across a broad range of recipes, and by varying the control I can "make to taste" doughy or crunchy waffles.

Fast, and perfect every time. heat control makes it a breeze
to make perfect waffles

I just love this waffle iron. It's quick, it's easy, and it does a great job. Much faster than my old waffle iron, and easy to adjust and monitor, I am very happy to have ordered it.

We have had this waffle maker for about a month and we love it! It heats fast than I can make the batter! Makes waffles quickly, which is perfect for a family of four. YES it is pricey but well worth it.

This product makes four belgian waffle at once, is nonstick. You should wipe the inside with oil before each use to make sure nothing sticks. It is 1500 watts and gets very hot. Word of warning if you have an older electrical system make sure you dont have to much plugged in at the same time. I have blown the fuse a couple of times. There are two lights one(red) that shows it is on and a second(green) when hot. The green light goes off when you add batter and comes back on when done.

Just one note: this was the first time I made waffles and it took a little time to learn the timeing and such.

I LOVE THIS WAFFLE IRON, IT PERFORMED WELL, CLEANED UP EASLIY.
MY FAMILY WAS IMPRESSED WITH MY SKILL.....LITTLE DID THEY KNOW.

I recently purchased this waffle maker (my first)and am happy to report that it works just as advertised. Following the directions that came with it, I used a pastry brush to "paint" a very light coat of oil on the waffle iron cooking surface before preheating. When the time came to cook the waffles, I had to experiment a bit with how much batter to put in as I didn't want a huge messy overflow. By the second set I discovered the perfect amount. There are 6 settings to choose from, depending on how brown you like your waffles. I set mine at "4", which produced perfect waffles that were very easy to remove from the iron. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone!

I've owned three or four waffle makers and none of them compare to the quality of this gem from Cuisinart. If you're picky about waffles--and why shouldn't you be?--then spend a little extra on this model and get effortless results. Here's what makes this a GREAT wafflemaker:

1) An accurate thermostat--no surprises when you open the lid
2) A consistent heating surface--avoid hot spots or undercooked waffles
3) A variable timer--essential if you have more than one waffle color preference in the family
4) Smart design--it stores on its side, taking up a LOT less space in your cupboard
5) Easy to clean exterior--cleans up with a damp paper towel
6) Dependable non-stick finish--unlike [other] waffle makers, the nonstick finish on this model does not wear out
7) Cool-touch lid--never burn your hand on a waffle maker again

I am genuinely thrilled with my Cuisinart waffle maker and I believe it's an absolute bargain. If you're used to spending big bucks on store-bought waffles--or if you have a...junky waffle maker at home--treat yourself to this nice little unit. It's a low-cost luxury. Plus, you'll have a fun time making waffles (and impressing your family and friends!). Bon appetit!

This product is by far the worst purchase in my life. I'll admit, I didn't do any research on waffle irons but how can you not trust a name as widespread as Cuisinart?

Easy...as a very competent chef, with years of experience in professional and personal capacity, I consider myself capable of making waffles. In fact, I've MacGyver'd waffles in a bind on a camping trip with tent rods! No Joke! But this product makes everything about waffle making awful. Most notably:
1. Non-stick my foot. If you've ever wanted all your waffles sliced down the middle across their plane, this is the one for you.
2. Easy cleanup my other foot. Break out your chisel and toothbrush, because you'll need them.
3. Thrown down 20 stories of garbage chute, this produces the most wonderful acoustical symphony $30 can buy. The brushed stainless surface perfectly matched and resonated with the rusty, raw clanginess of sheet metal. Musical indeed.

Do yourself a favor and just ignite $30 on your own. Don't go through the hassle of purchasing this product.

At first this worked great, the red light/green light thing is a good thing, and being able to actually select how cooked you want your waffle is definatly better than having to time waffles yourself (especially when your cooking for picky people ;))

Unfortunatly after 5 or 6 uses the waffles started sticking and pulling apart regardless of how much (or little) they were cooked. It got worse until the waffle stuck completly and were basicly ineatible. I tried greasing the iron, the waffles still pull apart but they're eatible.

After reading some of the other reviews I must defend this fine product. This iron works extraordinarily well. If waffles are sticking, spray a little Pam and as for complaints about safety, well duh, it gets hot. This iron preheats and cooks quickly. Heat is evenly distributed and cooking is consistent. If you can be trusted with matches you will have no trouble with this great value in a simple waffle iron.
