WAF-V100 Vertical Waffle Maker

Best waffle maker ever. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I don’t spray with oil and it always comes out easily. Makes fool proof waffles every time. This is a replacement for my first one that lasted many years.

I normally don’t write reviews, but decided to with this one. I had had about 3 previous waffle makers. Decided to try the standing one. Not sorry I did. I feel it’s the best maker out there. No oil or spray needed before making waffle, beeps when heated and waffle is done. Cleanup is easy. I make a lot of waffles so this is great. The only thing I would change is the design of the measuring cup it comes with. You should be able to see the lines better for amount of batter you put in, also should have a pour spout so it goes into center of maker easier. I would highly recommend this maker to anyone who loves Belgian waffles as much as we do. Thank you for this wonderful product.

I'm debating on giving 5 stars since I just used the waffle maker tonight for the first time but my experience has been great. I think I'll update this later and adjust the star rating if needed. Today I made 3 waffles. The first time I thought my batter was a bit thin and I used the # 3 setting recommended in the user guide. The # 3 setting was not crisp enough so I made another. Set on #4 and beefed up my batter. Oops, too thick! The batter only made about an inch headway down the maker so out with that one! Third time's a charm. Corrected my batter and got a much better result, golden brown and fluffy inside. I will try again on the # 5 setting because we like crispy waffles and see what happens. So I learned not to make my batter too thick and find out what setting suits my taste. Also, the cup used to fill the maker does give the absolute perfect amount to use. Don't over fill, the waffle won't look pretty and it's not necessary. The edges seal tight so the excess is at the top if you ignore the cup and overfill. Experiment the first couple of times so you can find the right consistency for your taste. This is such an improvement from a horizontal waffle maker where it's hard not to overfill. Best waffle maker I've had. I'd gladly give one as a gift. Pros: This is very easy to use. Set to the desired doneness and wait for the green light. Fill to maker using the filling cup. Wait for the beep. Eat your happy waffle. Clean up is so easy. Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe clean. I used a brush to remove a few crumbs between waffles and that worked very well. Vertical design lets gravity fill the plates evenly and the filling cup takes the guess work out of making a perfect waffle. Waffle removes easily from plates with non-stick tongs so no need to use a non stick spray. The waffle is truly a Belgian style waffle. Thick with deep set wells to hold a lot of melted butter and syrup. Fairly quick to the finish. About 3 mins for a dark, crisp waffle. The timer lights are big and easy to see and ready beeps are loud enough to hear if you step away to another area. Standing design is easier to store (in my kitchen anyway since I have limited shelf space). Excellent product with excellent price. Cons: If there is a down side so far I don't see it yet. If anything changes I'll let you know. However, you should pay attention to the user guide. The plate front/back and sides get HOT to the touch on the outside. Remember to only touch the clamp on the upper side near the funnel when opening or closing the maker. Once you are finished with the maker DO turn the setting to 1 and unplug. It does not cool down rapidly so exercise care when handling. Set it aside where you won't accidentally touch it. You want to keep the happy waffle feeling going so avoid any boo boos.

Fantastic Belgian waffle maker. Simple to operate and...just works. We've used standard box/bag pancake mix (you just add a bit of oil in addition to the required water) and legit Belgian waffle mix (egg + oil + water). The Belgian mix is better IMHO but the kids love the pancake mix version as well. I found that the highest heat/cook time setting (#5 on the dial) works best. We like them crispy on the outside which #5 handles, but they still stay soft inside which is perfect. If you go less than #4 on the heat/cook time dial you will get lightly brown waffles which can be a bit flimsy... I don't use the included measuring cup when filling the machine with waffle mix. I use a mixing bowl with spout and slowly pour in mix until I know the waffle iron is full. Don't over-fill or you'll be wiping up a mess. The mix slightly expands when heated so pour slowly and watch for the "bubble up" of batter and then stop when just about full. When cooked you're left with a bit of an edge which I just cut off so the waffle is round... Clean up is also easy. Let the machine completely cool and just brush off the left over waffle bits. The non-stick cooking surfaces don't even need any cooking spray. Just use non-scratch tongs to peel the waffle off when done cooking. Overall it's easy to use, cooks perfect Belgian style waffles, and the kids love them w/ real maple syrup. So, it's a winner in this house. We also love our Cuisinart burr-grinding coffee maker and 11 cup food processor. All great products...

*Disclaimer* I have only used this waffle maker once since I purchased it. However, when shopping for a space saving waffle maker that didn't compromise on fluffy Belgium waffles, and was a brand I trust, I decided to give this a try. First, it is simple as hell to operate, just plug in and turn on and adjust the temp nob for desired "doneness". Easy peasy. Second, fill the waffle maker using the provided scoop. This was a bit more trial and error as there is no real markings on the scoop to show max or min amount to pour. Once I figured out to get the perfect roundness one wants from their waffle, I used a full to the top scoop per waffle. Third, ease of removal. This was surprisingly super easy. The angle of the bottom plate made it easy to get under the waffle and remove it. Lastly, clean up wasn't so much easy as it is a bit of a technique curve. I'm saying this because the bottome plate opens but doesn't lay flat due to the lack of weight on this portion. This is a no nrainer as they wouldn't want a hkt waffle maker flipping over on someone everytime its opened. With that in mind I would suggest using a kitchen grade "paint brush" to swipe away left over crumbs and debris from a cooled waffle maker. There were no seen leaks nor did I experience a eaffle that wasn't cooked right. My waffles turned out fluffy and perfect every time I made a waffle. I would reccomend with the caveat it's a bit hard to clean if that matters. Otherwise it's some of the best waffles I've had at home.

Absolutely Fantastic. Tried it out this morning for breakfast and they turned out great. Deep square pockets/thick and crisp (if your recipe is right) and easy to use. without any over flow. Non stick coating is fab. No need to spray/rub any fat on the surface. Let’s you know when they’re ready.I used it on the No-4 setting as i like waffles more browned and they came out perfect. It comes with a good recipe book which i still need to go through. If you’re a true waffle fan then i highly recommend this machine.Have tried atleast 7-8 brands and acc. to me it’s the best one and is at par with the Ninja vertical one too. I prefer a round shape so that’s why i bought this. it’s a personal choice. Go for it. you will not be disappointed.

Excelente producto, me encantó la sencillez y calidad, la sencillez en el funcionamiento, casi cero derrames y la calidad es muy buena, responde a lo mencionado en la publicación

Wow! Yo estaba un poco escéptica y estoy sorprendida. Está increíble la wafflera, es muy precisa y suena cuando ya está listo el waffle. Vale la pena y su diseño está increíble, no se tira nada.

Me encantó! Los waffles quedan perfectos en muy pocos minutos

Me encanta, la taza mediadora es la medida perfecta, cumple con el dorado que le pongan y es super fácil de usar, muy práctica. La recomiendo 100%
