Cuisinart Waffle Maker, 1250W Round Classic Waffle Iron, 5-Setting Adjustable Browning Control, WMR-CAP2, Brushed Stainless

Wow! GREAT product! I've wanted a waffle iron for the longest time and, after carefully reviewing a number of them, I chose this product. It is well made of polished stainless steel and a sturdy plastic. The cooking surface has a non-stick coating so cooking oil is usually not needed. It comes with a 3-year warranty. The "ready" lights make cooking waffles straightforward and easy - red indicates the iron is hot and ready for the batter and the green light indicates the waffle is ready - in about 2- 3 minutes. Their are 5 cooking ranges so your waffle can be made as you want it - from lightly toasted to pleasantly crisp. The 7+" round waffles are cooked very quickly and with absolute consistency. The iron is safe to touch (on the outside!) and really easy to clean. It's easily stored standing on the counter out of the way, or placed in a drawer. We have been making waffles frequently as they are so easy to make. Our 10 year old loves making the waffles! Be sure to get your batter right - you are not cubing pancakes! - and you'll have excellent results. There are droves of recipes offering a wide variety of waffles that you can make, but this iron is not for Belgian Waffles. The Product Manual, available as a PDF download, has a number of recipes. I wholehearted recommend the Cuisinart Waffle Maker, 1250W Round Classic Waffle Iron. The price is right and the waffles are perfect!

Bought as a Christmas present and since it is used daily, I would say it is well loved and works great. Not sure how healthy it is to eat waffles every day, but who am I to judge.. it is easy to use and you just pour in a little over a half cup or homemade batter (at least she does) and you have fresh waffles in around a minute a piece. You need to pay attention since it does cook so quickly. Easy to tell when it’s done since it goes from green when you first put it in, to red, and back to green when it’s done. You can even choose the level of “doneness” like a toaster does, in the front. It is very compact since it’s about the size of a waffle, so easy storage. Mostly easy to clean unless you spill some in the front. Not as easy to get into those parts to clean, but if you don’t overfill and spill out the side, you’re good. Err on the side of caution for your first one and pour right in the middle.

O.K. I just had my Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker delivered less than 2 hours ago. I opened it up, scanned the instructions quickly, plugged it in, and 4 minutes later it was ready to make waffles. Each waffle took less than 3 minutes, and probably closer to 2 minutes. I made 7 waffles, all of which turned out absolutely perfect. No sticking, no muss, no fuss. I ate one which was delicious, and froze the other 6 in a large freezer bag. I should also state that I prefer Krusteaz pancake and waffle mix because you only need to add water. Or, in the case of the waffle mix on the Krusteaz package it also requires a couple tablespoons of oil. I spent half a second spraying the top and lower grids with pam, which took a whopping total of 1 full second. This is a great little waffle iron and worked perfectly for me the first time I used it. I set it on 4 and the waffles came out to perfection. Each and every one of them. Not once did I open the iron before the green light came on indicating the waffle was done. Not once did any part of any waffle I made with this waffle iron stick at all. I should also mention that the waffle iron bisects the waffle and makes 4 uniform quarters, any one of which can be separated cleanly. I will experiment with reheating the frozen waffles by toaster, by microwave, and by oven next time. A quick rub down was all it took to clean it completely. Also the upper lid is weighted and not once did it rise or open while making waffles. I did measure the amount of batter using a half cup measuring device, and put between one third and one half cup of batter in each time. Nothing could be much simpler, or easier to make perfect waffles with, by doing so little work. I did not find it necessary to spread the batter out evenly with a rubber spatula as the weight of the lid does that uniformly. But I did use a rubber spatula to remove the waffles. I did not want to use a metal fork which might rub off some of the anti stick surface after multiple uses. Also, it is not clear to me why anyone would complain about a stainless steel surface getting hot when in use. As you can see in the picture you can use a very large plastic handle in the front or even that large plastic base in the rear, and it will be cool to the touch. There is no need to touch the stainless steel while the unit is in use.

First, let me say, this review is based on using this waffle maker about once a week over the past three and a half years. So, my daughter loves waffles and I went searching for, well, not the very best waffle maker available, but a very good one that was affordable, and that's what this is. But I had to figure some things out about how to use it before I became really happy with it. My daughter likes waffles very crispy, so as I read reviews and articles, that is what I was looking for. This one was Wirecutter's budget pick, and they said it excelled at making thin, crispy waffles. Several other review sites recommended it as well. And I gotta say, I was kind of disappointed at first. It made waffles quickly and reliably, but they weren't really very crispy, even with the doneness slider all the way up. But with a little experimenting I was able to figure out how to get super crispy, crunchy waffles, just like my daughter likes. Here's what you've gotta do: 1. Don't use cooking spray. It's not necessary and using it seems to make it impossible to get a crisp crust. 2. Let it go for more than one cycle. The first time the light turns green? It's a lie. The waffle is done, yes, in the sense that it's cooked through, but there's no crispiness there. The second time? Also a lie. Starting to get crispy at that point, and probably to some people's liking, but we can get crispier. The third time it turns green, you've got a nice crispy waffle! If you're not paying attention and it goes four or five cycles? Well it's a darker brown, but still just fine and none more crispy. For reference, I use plain ol' Bisquick waffle batter. Results will vary, I'm sure, with different batters. So I'm giving it four stars, because of course it'd be even better if it just worked with one cycle, but now that I now its mysterious ways, I'm very happy with it. Also, it has gotten knocked around and even dropped on several occasions, and it's still working just fine. After a recent drop, one of the plastic pieces that allows it to stand up vertically for storage came off, but it's still going strong and considering the abuse it's taken in my kitchen for several years, I can't complain.

I was going to buy that stylish iron that Alton Brown made famous, but Amazon does not carry them at this time. Thought about looking elsewhere, despite having a $25 Amazon gift card, but that model makes Belgium style waffles, while the Cuisinart makes the thinner conventional style. Hmmm, actually I don't actually like the fluffy soft style in cookies or waffles. Went with the Cuisinart. Only cost me $5 (!) as I have Prime shipping. I am happy with the results. The thermostat actually works and you get consistent crispiness. Doesn't take too long. Doesn't stick (see below). Easy as possible to clean. The waffles are great. They are now a Sunday tradition and will fuel guests during the holidays. I would rather make waffles than deal with the cook to order holiday breakfast requests. The quality of your efforts will depend on the actual recipie, rather than the machine, and that is good. I wanted to make that Alton Brown-based mix, but ended up using Bob's Red Mill brand as it has both white and whole wheat flour, baking soda and powder and dried buttermilk. You add oil and eggs and water or liquid buttermilk, which is what I do. This is a good recipie and silmilar to Brown's and several reviewers'. I tried butter instead of oil, but that was not so successful. Now I use canola oil and save the butter for the topping. Overflow is always an issue with waffle irons as the mix expands when heated. I pour in about 1/4 cup and spread it out with a spatula so that it just fills in the channels, up to the top of the peaks and no more. I tried the 1/2 cup suggestion, but had to clead up a lot of overflow and I do not like the idea of any liquid in the thermostat area for obvious reasons. It is easier to add a little mix than to remove an excess. The easy way to finish them off is to fill a measuring cup with butter and maple syrup in a ratio and quality of your choice and melt it together. Sticking is an issure for many with this and all irons. I give a quick spray of Pam to start and spread it around with a paint brush. Don't try to spray the whole thing as everything near and far will be covered with oil. Doing this once seems to work all morning. Staying above 3 on the thermostat and not using butter in the mix is helpful as well. This made all of my waffles pop out easily. Cleaning is done with a towel and because nothing sticks, that isn't so hard. Storing it on end is great, although I haven't figured out how to plug it into itself to stow the cord. I think the cord is an inch too short for that feature to work. I can recommend the Cuisinart based on its performance so far. Only time will tell if it will last. All product forums are filled with complaints about things that break and that always makes me paranoid when I read those reviews.

I did a lot of research on regular waffle makers for under $100, and decided to go with this tried and true, inexpensive Amazon favorite. After all, how could 680+ reviewers be wrong? Anyway, I am a first-time waffle-maker owner, and this model has been absolutely perfect. We've made several dozen batches of waffles, 10-20 at a time, many different batters of various ingredients, and have not had a single one even come close to sticking. I like that we can adjust the darkness setting based on the batter, and this unit is so compact that it easily stores on edge. I could have spent more on a waffle maker that took up more storage space, but I didn't have to. My only negative observations (although minor) are that the instructions mention a "special latching feature" which is supposed to keep the unit locked closed for storage; ours does not "lock." There are also two slots into which the plug from the wrapped electric cord are supposed to insert; our cord is about an inch short of allowing that. Observations to share with other amateurs like myself: * As the instructions say, the first time you heat this waffle maker, you'll want to put it on high to burn off the chemical coating from manufacturing the Teflon. I actually placed the unit outside because it was pretty fumy (no smoke, just smells). We also threw out our first few waffles after the first oiling and cleaning just in case. * DON'T USE COOKING SPRAYS ON TEFLON: It's fairly well documented on the web that the propellant in non-stick cooking sprays is what leaves behind that sticky, brown gunk that eventually will ruin a Teflon surface. Instead, use regular extra virgin olive oil applied with a heat-resistant OXO Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush . Oil the hot grates once before each use and toss the brush in the dishwasher. It gets in all the nooks and crannies with ease, and you'll never have residue. Cleans up with a damp paper towel. * Instructions say 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. We've found this to vary depending on the thickness of the batter. Start with 1/3 cup; you can always add more if your waffles are coming out too small. * Steam release is a better indicator of when the waffles are done than the green/red light on the unit. Sometimes it cycles on and off twice on level 2.5 before the waffles are perfect. We find most of our batters work best between 2 and 3.

We love this little waffle maker . Doesn't take up much counter space. Easy to use.

I replaced a Krupps waffle maker because the non-stick plates were sticking. This one is smaller, easier to pull out of a drawer. I've used it with two batches. The instructions that come with the machine are not very helpful. I wish I had looked up the manual online before first use, as there are excellent instructions including the need to remove a protective coating on the plates and also to season by wiping on (not spraying) oil. The non-stick function works really well. Very easy to clean. The plates are not removable! One issue is that it browns unevenly, with the middle cooking more slowly than the edges. From the manual, I see that I may need to spread the batter before closing the top. Also, this model does not beep when the green light goes on, so you need to physically watch for the light so the waffles don't burn. I would not have bought this model if I had known in advance! Finally, the browning level selector is loose, so that there is not a difference between setting it at "3" or "4". Comments on the Cuisinart website say this is common with this model, and may get worse. I'm hanging onto the warranty card!

This is a fantastic waffle iron! I wanted it because I wanted to do the old-fashion thinner waffles. This waffle pan cooks them to perfection. More than that, it heats up in a matter of minutes, and cooks the waffles in two or three minutes (there is a dial for selecting how dark you want your waffles). The dial is absolutely consistent which is a wonderful feature. It is easy to clean and a joy to cook with. I read the reviews here on Amazon and there were some that said that the lid as loose, which concerned me. I thought my lid was loose as well but found it worked beautifully.

Is good to cook according to children's choice of crispness
