Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This wafflemaker appeared very sturdy, was as easy to clean as any one-piece wafflemaker, and was easy to use. The only problem was that its performance was very poor. I got it to replace my trusty but large and cumbersome 10-yr-old Waring Pro flip wafflemaker. At first I had great hopes for the Cuisinart- it was good-looking and sturdy, made thick waffles, and was from a trusted manufacturer. After trying numerous waffle recipes, however, I returned it. The major problems were 1: the center of the waffles were burnt while edges were raw, 2: one side was dark and crisp while the other side was pale and soft, and 3: it took 8 or more minutes to cook a waffle. I am back to using the Waring at home (fast and cooked perfectly) and a smaller, less expensive, regular-thickness Cuisinart wafflemaker at a vacation home. The latter actually makes the best and fastest waffles.
