Hamilton Beach Flip Belgian Waffle Maker with Removable Non-Stick Plates

Firstly, i got a return item saved cash, only damage was the original box ... No problem. So! How does it work? Awesome! Nothing sticks to Porcelain plates! I mean nothing yet! Lol! But the food is way better tasting and more fun than work, clean up is easier than ever, because they are removable plates! So as all Waffle lovers know, we end up working more than eating time with family! This isn't about that, its faster, non stick with just oil in batters, and every kind i have used cook great and you can taste just Waffle not burned oils. So it's a item that can be placed on the table so as each comes out you can hand them... Plus be with everyone not in kitchen, trying too control everything that is not working properly! The temperature control is grea5, although its about how long you leave them more then not! Ready lights on both sides means your in control.. So if you wanna get way from Teflon coating problems like they don't work and health problems, this is the way of the future! I'm making them every few days now, not months! Yummy food moment!

The waffles from this machine are amazing. They don't stick. The size is perfect. Cleaning it is so easy. I don't have to spray it first and it was a good value. I love this waffle maker.

The waffles are crispy and airy just like a Belgian waffle should be. I love that the waffle plates are removable and they are easy to wash. I don’t believe the quality of the entire unit is where it should be as there is a lot of plastic, but because the waffles come out so wonderfully I can overlook it.

This waffle maker has several things going for it. Unfortunately, it has several things that I don't like about it. 1st off, the good.. It's a flip waffle maker, and it has removable plates that can be taken out and cleaned. 2nd, the bad: it is too expensive; with tax, it costs over $80. As far as I am concerned, the worst part is that they cheaped out on the heating element. It is only 800 watts, and no matter what you do, you cannot get your waffles golden brown. If they had put a higher-wattage heating element, it might have been worth the cost. I was going to return this Hamilton Beach waffle maker, and they offered me about 20% back on my purchase, so I decided to keep it. I wanted to update this review. I got help from all places and an AI. I told it what the problem was with said waffle and it made a number of suggestions. One of which was to make my batter thicker. I have always used a rather thin batter and never had any problem, but I tried it. The AI also suggested that I replace the EVOO that I use with coconut oil. All of that work, and I got nice golden-brown waffles. The waffle maker is still underpowered at only 800 watts. It took close to 10 minutes to reach a point where I could add my batter, and then it took almost 10 minutes before the waffle was ready.

Easy to use. The timer is spot on. It doesn’t matter what mix I use when the light turns green to tell me it’s ready, the waffle is always fully cooked.

I bought it because the plates are removable. It did not disappoint! Wonderful waffles!!

Cooks waffles beautifully and very easy to clean with the removable surface.

Here's an update to go with the pic of stuck-on waffle---- After three or four weeks of constant use, I finally took off the plates and put them in the dishwasher. Upon taking them out of the dishwasher, I stuck them in the waffle maker and began using them. Big mistake. It stuck tight. I should have sprayed them with oil first. I believe the directions say you don't have to use oil on them except the first time but I didn't find that to be true. I sprayed them once but they continued to stick. So I had to use spray every other waffle and I definitely had to spray when I had a sugary ingredient like chocolate chips. So I won't be putting them in the dishwasher again. Just being able to remove them and clean them is good enough for me. Something with almost 2,500 reviews really doesn't need another one but here goes anyway. I have never owned a waffle iron. Didn't see the point but another vacation this year with a waffle iron in the hotel lobby for the complimentary breakfast made me do it. Glad I did. My teenagers love it. I love the throw in dishwasher part although I haven't. We've been using it at least every other day. Since reading about the orange peeling off from another review after a year or so, I probably won't ever actually put it in the dishwasher. I won't be mad either if it doesn't last more than a year after so much use. It also wasn't a $100 purchase so I think if it lasts 6 months I'm good. It will probably be on sale for Black Friday anyway. Our first set of waffles were perfect. The only recipe I had called for eggs but we didn't have any so I looked on Pinterest for an eggless recipe. Found - 2 cups flour, 2 tsp sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, 4 tbl melted butter, 2 tbl water, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 cups milk and 2 tbl oil. Like I said, perfect. Light fluffy kind of crispy on outside. Started adding choc. chips, nutmeg, pecans, apples, blueberries, etc. in subsequent batches. Still perfect. Just the right thickness to hold extras. We ran out of flour so tried Hungry Jack pancake complete mix and it was edible. Just tasted like pancakes, only thicker. Won't do that again. UPDATE LESS THAN A YEAR FROM PURCHASE-MAJOR DOWNGRADE FROM 5 STARS Just overheated this morning and handle melted off. Just used it yesterday and made one waffle before unplugging it to make more waffle mix. Plugged it back up to reheat. Less than 10 minutes later see pics

Encantado con la compra!! Como verdadero fan de los waffles y hot cakes... esta wafflera es maravillosa!! Super sencilla de usar, solo hay que conectar y escojer nivel de tostado... te cocina el waffle en 4 a 8 minutos (según tostado)... se limpia MUY FÁCIL, con un trapo humedo o removiendo las placas (No se pega nada!!!)... cocino DIARIAMENTE por la tarde 2 waffles (sí, soy adicto) y PUEDES USAR HARINA DE HOT CAKES REGULAR y salen excelentes... WAFFLES GRUESOS Y BIEN COCIDOS... ESTILO BELGA!! llevo más de 1 mes usándola diariamente y funciona perfecto (tiene un mecanismo super simple tipo tostador de resistencia) Nota: ES GRANDE, MIDE 44CM DE LARGO, 25CM DE ANCHO, 22CM DE ALTO expandida (el ancho disminuye a 22CM al remover el plato de protección de chorreo y el largo a 38CM al doblar el mango oara guardarse). Espero que a largo plazo funcione igual!

I enjoy waffles and have a few waffle specific cookbooks which I try out every now and then. I wanted a maker with ceramic plates but I was hesitant to spend the money on it so was happy to get one for Christmas! It's now several months later and I've used it every Saturday morning and a number of lunches with different recipes. This gadget is easy to use and easy to clean. If the grids are dirty they just pop off and are quickly cleaned. I like that the handle folds, it makes storing it take up less space.

Me encanto, es facil de usar, quedan excelentes los wafles, y lo mejor es lo facil de limpiar, ya que se pueden remover el grid y la bandeja de residuos. Solo que los intervalos de las luz verde de prendido y apagado, al principio confunde, ya que las instrucciones no estan muy claras. Pero ya con el uso de el lo vas entendido cuando esta cocinando o cuando es tiempo de espera. Si explican mejor el tiempo de la luz verde prendido y apagado y su funcion, seria de mas ayuda.

I haven't had any problems, and waffles always come out perfectly cooked! I don't follow the light timer; instead, I use my preferred one, so I can't review that. But it's an excellent waffle maker anyway!

Works well but temperature control is harder than my previous one, probably because the plates are removable and that the temperature transfer is not as efficient. But it's easy to clean, so it's a tradeoff. Overall pretty satisfied.
