Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Round Classic Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless,Silver

After testing this waffle maker for a week, I can confidently say it’s worth every penny. The brushed stainless steel design looks sleek on my countertop, and the compact size fits easily in my kitchen. But the real win? It makes flawless waffles.The heating is even—no more undercooked centers or burnt edges. I’ve used it for classic waffles, whole-grain batter, and even keto-friendly recipes, and each one turned out golden and crispy. The adjustable thermostat (from light to dark) lets me customize the browning, and the indicator lights take the guesswork out of preheating and cooking.Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the nonstick plates (a quick wipe does the trick), and the cord storage keeps things tidy. My only tiny note: It’s not the fastest waffle maker (takes ~4-5 minutes per waffle), but that’s expected for even cooking.For the price, Cuisinart nailed it. If you want restaurant-quality waffles at home without fuss, this is the one.

Great basic waffle maker. This thing pumps out waffles quick and easy. My kids prefer this kind to the thick Belgian waffles, easier to eat. The nonstick surface makes clean up super easy. So easy you can drop an egg straight into it and have a nice cooked waffle egg. Pro tip, add bacon and its an awesome protein filled breakfast.

Wow!!! This actually does NOT stick to the pancake or waffle mix!!! Comes out perfectly cooked every time and it's not required to use Pam or other release sprays. The size is perfect and the waffles come out thin enough that I can eat a couple waffles, which is about the size of a stack of pancakes. Perfect divots for syrup and butter. Even works with my protein waffle mix and does not stick! Super glad I gave this a try. Also, everyone in our house can use this, just as simple as setting the level of 'doneness' or crispiness. I prefer the highest setting to be a bit crunchier but the lower the setting, the more dense the waffle. Either way, it's super tasty, works great and very user friendly!

In the process of replacing our old waffle iron and gave this one a try. The waffles are much thinner so cook faster than the old one. This one has an adjustment that allows you to select the level of doneness you prefer. My wife likes the old slow iron, I like the new.

I purchased this item about a year ago. I tried making a waffle, but it stuck so badly. Finally I got it all cleaned and decided to try other reviewers suggestions such as use pam spray before you pour your waffle mix and put oil in the waffle mix and it still didn't work.I never used the waffle iron again. The waffles stuck so bad that it was impossible to get it cleaned. I threw it away.Why did I give it five stars? Call me crazy, but I bought another one. I thought I would give it another try. It worked. It didn't stick at all. I Here is the trick to do when you first get this waffle iron. Like another reviewer said, I used the Pam spray before pouring the waffle batter and I also added vegetable oil to the waffle mix. On my first purchase I used the Pam and added oil to the waffle mix, but the waffles stuck. On my second purchase I did everything the same (used Pam and oil in the mixture), BUT I did something different. I put the waffle dial between 4 and 5. After I poured the waffle mix in, I waited for the green light to come on. Note: you get a green light when the waffle maker is ready for you to pour the mix in and once you do and close the lid it turns red and then will turn green again after awhile). So anyways, I poured my mixture in and waited until the green light came on. Do not peek to see if the waffle is ready. Once the green light comes on...DO NOT OPEN THE WAFFLE MAKER. Let it cook for a little while longer (I waited pretty long thinking that it is going to be burnt). Then open it up. You will have a thoroughly cooked (really crispy cooked waffle that does not look appetizing). The key is the first waffle is never to be eaten. First because it helps get the new smell, newly heated waffle iron out. Second, because you cooked the waffle so very long. But that is the key. By cooking it so long the first time is like seasoning the waffle iron. If you open it too early it will separate the waffle and it will stick. So be sure to make your first waffle the throw away waffle.On your second waffle, still use the Pam and put oil in the mixture. I put the dial between 3 and 4 and opened the waffle iron exactly when the light turned green. It came out wonderfully. My third waffle (on another day) I put oil in the mixture and didn't even bother using the Pam. It didn't stick at all and came out perfect.For those who are wondering what waffle mix I used thinking that would make a difference in if it sticks or not. I used the Krustez pancake mix. Though Krustez says to just add water. Make sure you put in oil. I used a good amount of oil the first three times because I was still nervous about it sticking. Now I use some oil.I hope this helps someone. Like I said, the first one I bought it stuck every time and I had to throw it away. The second one works great and I think it is because the first waffle was my throw away waffle and I made sure it was thoroughly cooked. Finally, I can have waffles again.If this review has helped you, please comment and let me know. Thanks.UPDATE: FROM READING THE COMMENTS TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW IT SEEMS THERE IS A LITTLE CONFUSION ABOUT THE FIRST WAFFLE. I TOOK THE WAFFLE IRON OUT OF THE BOX AND I ONLY THREW AWAY THE VERY FIRST WAFFLE THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. EVERY OTHER WAFFLE AFTER THAT YOU EAT. WHEN YOU USE IT ON ANOTHER DAY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO THROW AWAY THE FIRST WAFFLE. YOU EAT THEM ALL. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WAFFLE LOVERS....FOR THE LIFETIME OF THIS WAFFLE MAKER, ONLY ONE WAFFLE WAS SACRIFICED AND ALL THE OTHERS WERE EATEN. :)

I bought this waffle maker to replace one that broke. I like that it has settings instead of one basic cook time, in order to make the waffles to each person’s preference. I will say that this waffle maker creates thinner waffles, not large/fluffy ones like a Belgian waffle maker. Heats up quickly, works as you would expect.

I have only used it once so far, but it worked well. There was a weird smell when I first used it but the manual said it was normal. The cook time was also accurate.

I must have misread before I ordered it, and thought the plates released, so I thought I was getting a waffle iron that would come apart to be cleaned thoroughly. This one does not. It's a nice size for storage. It heats a bit unevenly, but not too bad. The smell it made the first time I used it was awful (plastic, teflon, whatever it was, yuck.) It was a lot less the second time.
