i like, works for me

I just used it and I love it! Now, I will say this, you will have to make sure you have to either butter it down or use the spray on all parts because some of the waffle will stick! Yet, at the same time as long as they are thick waffles you should have no problem!!!! I will same that it doesn't take that long to get them done but make sure you wait a minute before flipping lol, or you will have some funny looking waffles!!! Once turn I say count up to 60 or less and they should be prefect! I wish I took the pictures but it's a good product for the price! If you are not looking for cheap then I suggest you get the more expensive ones but this one works great!

Quick, easy to clean, excellent design, great waffles!

I've made waffles for 45 years now. Growing up it was Bisquick on my folks' standard waffle iron, and with that we always sprayed the iron. On my own, and then with my wife of 26 years, it's been scratch waffles--originally wheat-based, now gluten- and dairy-free (a fantastic recipe, by the way, that no gluten-or-dairy-eater will detect!). In the scratch waffles, we've always included butter (1/4 c in the current recipe). This completely eliminated the need for any spray--making cooking easier and avoiding any buildup on the classic Toastmaster iron we've used for ~34y (it still works great; we just wanted more capacity for guests). The butter-in-the-batter approach (and recipe) work perfectly on the Bella iron. As for performance, it went from a cold kitchen (63° , 17.2° C) to ready-light illuminated (on the darkest setting) in 3min 4s. I then wait ~10s to flip it. The ready light illuminated after 3min 12s of cooking. I wait until 4min 30s to get it extra dark (see photo). (And note in the picture, the oblong "spots" you see throughout are pumpkin seeds that I sprinkle on the iron before adding the batter. I add them, then close the lid for 10-15s to let them toast a bit, and then pour the batter over them.) Reheat time between batches is very quick. (I didn't time it, but it was so fast that I ended up turning the iron off between batches so I could enjoy one before cooking another!) As for design, I think that's what compelled me to write this review. They've covered the bases in my opinion. Storage volume: 14" (35.6cm) long, 4.5" (11.4cm) wide, 8.75" (22.2cm) high (with handle down, and including where cord sticks out ~1" (2.5cm). The drip plate is smartly held in place by the 4 little ribs (see photo) that secure it in place on the base. It does a great job of catching drips--which I tend to have because I want a full waffle :)--see photos. For storage, the drip plate slides into 2 groove on the sides, and one in the base (see photos). The waffles measure 6.5" (16.8cm) across, and approx 7/8" (2.2cm) thick. Mine are crispy on the outside and tender inside. The first iron we bought in our quest for more capacity (the Hamilton Beach Belgian Style Waffle Maker - 26025) was a cleanup disaster!!! We did one batch, and after spending 40 or more min cleaning it up--I added too much batter--I immediately returned it. If I overfill the Bella, it simply bubbles out the side and drips on the drip plate. And whatever is left on the outside of the grill itself--which is hot--just cooks and then comes off cleanly. Fantastic!! After use, I brushed off a few crumbs, let it cool, washed the drip plate, and put it away! Last word: if you're in a quandary regarding classic/traditional vs. Belgian, if you like them on the darker side, the former will give you a waffle that's crisper throughout--the center of the Belgian will be softer. But the Belgian is still nicely crisp outside. And don't be fooled by the size: the Belgian uses ~50% more batter per waffle than our 7" Toastmaster classic iron. So it takes fewer waffles to call it a meal (which also shortens the overall process).

Happy with my purchase.

I’ve gotten 5 uses out of it so far and it’s still working like a charm. Makes fairly big waffles in my opinion about the same size you’d get at major breakfast restaurants. After reading some negative reviews I was pretty skeptical about ordering this one, but I’m glad I did. It comes with an instruction booklet that has everything from how to operate it, how to clean it, how much batter to pour on it, and even some recipes. I cleaned it before the first use, it did smoke some only on the first use but I feel like that’s something to expect like first time operating most heating tools they all smoke some such as griddles, hair straighteners, toasters, irons, etc.

Love my Waffles

I was on vacation and at the hotel they had a waffle maker like this one. I was missing my waffles so I purchased my bella. I love it! Prefect waffles every time. Easy clean up!

My wife makes waffles all the time now.

We've tried a few - some of them broke within a few uses. This one is sturdy, easy to use and easy to clean. My wife loves coming up with new recipes. This is the best one we've found.

No warning beep when ready or done

Used it for the first time this morning. Waffles came out nice. Only problem it is hard to tell wich light is on, the seem to blend together. I had hoped for a warning sound when done.

Perfect Waffle Maker

Great item for Price. It makes wonderful, dark and crispy waffles just the way I like it. Waffle must stay 3-4 minutes to get the best quality and may require more than one flip. It was easy to use. I sprayed it with vegetable oil at first and never have to spray it again. I have no idea what the green light was doing because it stayed on all the time but I timed my waffle and took it out on my timer. Clean up was easy, light soft cloth with dish washing liquid and wiped it down and it is ready for my next use. I highly recommend this product!

Makes great waffles! Buy it! You won't regret it.

This waffle maker makes great waffles. We had one and loved the waffles it made but when it gave out we bought another waffle maker because it was on sale and we needed one right then. The waffles were just not the same. My daughter who loves waffles wouldn't eat them so we bought another one of these and now my wife and daughter are happy again. I highly recommend this waffle maker!

It's just a waffle maker....a cheap, easy to use Belgium waffle maker.

Had one for a couple years and broke the plastic stand, (be careful). Other than being somewhat fragile, it works flawlessly. 1. Plug it in, 2. wait for the green light, 3. pour in Belgium Waffle batter, 4. close the lid and rotate the waffle maker 5. the light will go off...wait 6. when the green light goes on again the waffles are done. 6. rotate the waffle maker back to the original position, and remove a perfectly cooked waffle. A couple hints: let the batter thicken 30 minutes and then adjust viscosity with a few drops of water. Use a spray on shortening to keep the waffle maker really non-stick. Enjoy!

Experiment with food

Made perfect waffles for two days The I used two pieces of ham with whipped eggs in the middle. Today I cut French bread crust off and cut bread 1" thick.dipped in egg/milk . Mix. Perfect. Can't wait to stick something else in like panini.
