Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle Maker w/Shade Selector, Temperature Control, Mess Free Moat, Round Iron w/Nonstick Plates & Cool Touch Handle, Measuring Cup Included, Black

After reading various mixed waffle iron reviews, I ordered this Belgium Waffle Iron 4/3/23 and received it 4/4/23. I'm writing this review on 4/5/23. Couldn't wait to use it, as I've never had one before. This morning I made delicious plant-based waffles (I'm vegan) out of oatmeal from a recipe I found online. Just throw the oatmeal, plant-based milk and nut-butter, applesauce and other minor ingredients into a blender and blend. Couldn't have been easier. The recipe suggested throwing out the instructions for any waffle iron regarding using a light/beep, etc. for the waffle being done, so I decided to take that advice, which was to wait until there was no steam coming from the iron (to determine readiness) and to wait an extra 5 minutes after the light notes being ready before pouring in the batter. My waffles were perfect!!! Very crisp. After each one cooked, I placed it on the oven rack (no plate) to maintain crispness at 200 degrees. My only complaint is the measuring cup that comes with the iron is crap. The directions say something about ml readings on the cup, but the actual cup reading isn't metric. I just used a ladle I had and used 2 full scoops of the ladle to pour into the iron. It worked fine. I didn't take off for this. I didn't use any oil, as the iron is non-stick. Just make sure the iron is very hot before pouring the batter. Clean up was easy. Also, I like the way the iron can be stored on it's side for minimal storage. I know I have only used the iron once, but very surprised how the iron performed and how reasonably priced it was. If I have any issues with the iron in the future, I will update this review.

First off, I love this waffle maker. The waffles never stick to it and it's super easy to clean. The only thing that is slightly annoying (not worth taking a star off) is that the waffle batter will overflow before it fills in all the holes. Wish it was designed to not do that, but still works fine.

I have been looking for a waffle maker that had an adjustable cooking time, and this one offers that. I like my waffles to be crispy, and this one does the job very well. It is very easy to use. Just plug it in and off it goes. The dial that adjusts the cooking time is simple, easy to use. This waffle iron the perfect size. It doesnt take up an enormous amount of counter space but make perfect sized waffles. Highly recommend.

great waffle maker! my only complaint is the condition in which i received it. i ordered it “used-like new” (my fault for trying to save a couple bucks) but the description said and i quote “looks and performs as if it were new” but it had SEVERAL cosmetic issues including cracks, scratches, and scuffs. all that said it performs just fine and made perfect waffles. i found setting 3&4 to be perfect. it clicks green when it’s heated and ready to use, then off. then when your waffle is ready it clicks green again. and the best part, it’s actually non stick!! had zero issues with that.

I purchased this and used it to make my Breakfast for my co-workers. I made waffles for over 2 hours and The waffles came out perfect every time and the waffle maker set up is easy and the clean up was super easy! I would definitely recommend this waffle maker!

Finally—the waffle maker of my dreams. Shipped in secure packaging without a lot of wasted materials. This is the second Chefman product I’ve purchased. been impressed with both. I appreciate the attention to functionality. This product stands on end for storage making it very space-efficient. It has a lock that keeps the item from flopping open. There is a power light that illuminates when plugged in. There’s also an illuminated Ready button along with a selector for levels of doneness. Level 4 is (for us) perfect—golden, crisp outside, tender inside. Now for the REAL MAGIC—nothing sticks! Breakfast waffles, savory cornmeal/jalapeño waffles, even the compressed foam pad that came inside! That was a major oops and I feared I had ruined it but, no! The melted mess fell off with zero sticking. I couldn’t be happier with this attractive, affordable and easy-peasy waffle maker.

You can't avoid over flow, you just can't. Good product tho, its quick and it cooks well

I purchased the Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle Maker and ended up using it for more than just traditional waffles. One of my favorite uses so far has been making waffle sugar cookies, and they turned out amazing. The results were evenly cooked, crisp on the outside, and perfectly shaped every time. The anti-overflow design works well and helps keep messes to a minimum, which is especially helpful when experimenting with thicker batters or cookie dough. The shade selector and temperature control make it easy to customize how light or crisp you want the final product, whether you’re making classic waffles or something more creative like cookies. The waffle plates heat evenly, and the finished cookies released easily without sticking. Cleanup was straightforward, and I didn’t have issues with batter or dough spilling out onto the counter. The appliance feels sturdy and well made, and it heats up quickly, which is convenient when making multiple batches. I also appreciate how user-friendly it is. The controls are intuitive, and it doesn’t take much trial and error to get consistent results. This makes it a good option for both everyday use and experimenting with fun recipes. If there’s one minor consideration, it does take up some counter space, but that’s expected for a waffle maker of this size. Overall, this waffle maker is reliable, easy to use, and versatile. It’s a great choice for anyone who enjoys both classic waffles and creative baking ideas.

La uso para mi negocio, estamos en mayo 2022 y la llevo usando desde diciembre 2021. Calienta súper rápido y muy bien, parejo. Al principio fue difícil encontrar la medida exacta de masa para evitar derrames, pero luego encontré el modo y ya no se derrama nada. Con mi receta basta con cubrir totalmente la base para que quede perfectamente bien cubierto todo el molde pero no derrame. Tienes que experimentar un poco para saber qué cantidad, ya que depende mucho del tipo de masa que uses y lo espesa que esté. Otro tip, al principio no confiaba en la luz azul, así que revisaba el waffle cada cierto tiempo, pero luego vi que no es necesario, se enciende cuando está a la temperatura ideal, se apaga cuando echas la masa y cierras, cuando vuelve a encender el foco azul está completamente cocido al nivel de tostado que elijas, sin necesidad de estar revisando. Leí que a muchos se les ha quebrado por el “abrir y cerrar”, pero a mí me ha funcionado bien, por si las dudas he tenido el debido cuidado al manipularla para evitar que se dañe, ya que ciertamente se siente un poco flojo, no está muy ajustado, afortunadamente sigue en buenas condiciones. Es fácil de limpiar y no necesita grasa (mantequilla o aceite), no se le pega nada y es fácil quitar los residuos cuando está totalmente fría con un trapo limpio y húmedo, no es necesario lavar. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.

This waffle maker cooks waffles to perfection. And the waffles are so big. The anti-overflow works amazing. I don’t know what other people are talking about that said it didn’t. Maybe they have an older model. But mine works great. All it is, is an extended cooking surface so any batter that goes outside of the waffle grooves just gets cooked rather than making a mess. I liked it having a bit of an extra edge from the anti-overflow surface, it made it easier to get the waffle out. And if you’re worried about presentation you can easily cut or pull the edges off for a cleaner look. It’s fool proof. It tells you when to put the batter in and when the waffle is done. It has multiple level setting based on how browned you want your waffle. I cooked mine on level 3 (medium) for reference. It’s compact and light. It’s easy to clean, I just wiped it down with a cloth, nothing sticks to it. It was so easy to use my 5 year old was making waffles with my supervision.

What a great little machine!!!! When it arrived, I removed the plastic protector between the plates that is used to prevent rubbing when in transit. I wiped down the interior and then put the protector back. Big mistake! For those of you with a working brain, remove the plastic film and if desired replace it with an old towel or micro-cloth when storing the unit. As I was saying, remove the plastic before heating the unit. I forgot that the plastic was there, since it does not stick out. I opened the unit to add the batter, and it looked like a spider web inside. I left it open to go cold, and then wiped out the plastic webs. No, it did not damage the plates. They are non-stick and did their job. I then added batter. I have a recipe for a single waffle. Guess what! It can make about one and a half waffles. I could hear a squeaking sound coming from the unit. Batter was oozing out the sides. The overflow groove can only handle so much. I cleaned the counter, and waited for my waffle to finish cooking. It tasted wonderful. After another complete cool down I wiped off the outside of the unit. It heats up quickly and cooks quickly, wonderful unit.

Soy fan de los wuafles , hago constantemente y está maquinita es una maravilla , fácil de usar, limpiar y hace unos wuafles perfectos , no derrama nada siempre y cuando uses la medida correcta que trae incluida y si pones de más la mezcla se queda en las orillas de la wuaflera , y el sabor depende la forma en que prepares tu mezcla, y si los gustas crujientes solo es cuestión de dejarlos más tiempo al que marca y a una temperatura media para que no se quemen.

Great quality. The baking dish is deep and batter does not spill out as it did with different models. When you are done you can keep it upright, saving some counter top space. I like the little plastic measuring cup included, convenient and easy. Five different settings. (There was no recipe booklet included, it would be a nice touch.) Overall I am very happy.
