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

It works great! Doesn’t take up much space, heats up quickly, and makes phenomenal waffles. We’ve already used it on at least 8 separate occasions. Makes a quick breakfast simple and doesn’t take much time. Easy to wipe out afterwards, although I haven’t had any issues with sticking.

I ordered this waffle iron after trying another brand that I didn't like at all. I found this one to be very easy to use and the batter scoop is a nice addition. I started with a 1/2 cup of batter in the scoop, as the instructions recommended, and that seemed to work well. The anti-overflow moat seemed to work as intended. I only had a little overflow into the moat using a 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Perhaps users who had a bad experience with overflow used more than a 1/2 cup of batter? Also, the nonstick plates functioned well and were easy to clean. I sprayed them with avocado oil spray on the first two waffles I made, but tried it without spraying them for a third waffle and had no issues with sticking. I used the "2" setting of doneness, which seemed to cook them nicely. I might experiment with other settings but 2 was suitable. I switched to this waffle iron after a disastrous experience with another brand (that is one of the top search results on Amazon), where the waffle stuck very badly, and it was a nightmare to clean after a significant amount of overflow. I like this iron much better and had a dramatically better experience using it than the first iron I bought. I recommend this one!

I don’t know what people are complaining about with this waffle maker. A lot of reviews say it’s a “burn hazard.” You can’t just grab a hot toaster wherever you want either. So I don’t know what those people are complaining about. Anyway this thing makes great waffles. They’re somewhere in between a Belgian waffle and a regular waffle. I like the “moat” this waffle maker has. If you put in the recommended amount of better then it doesn’t overflow on to your counter like another machine I bought previously did. The only reason I’m giving this product four stars and not five is because I would prefer my waffles to be a little thinner and the squares to be smaller. Also, it cooks the waffle, a little bit unevenly. Overall, a huge improvement over the previous one I bought.

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.

I absolutely love this Waffle Maker, it was very easy to understand how it works and it will make your waffles taste delicious!

The best waffle maker I ever had was made in Italy, maybe in the 80's-before Belgian waffles became so popular. These waffles were nice and thick, & cooked perfectly. I have spent a lot of money over time trying to another perfect waffle maker. Wow! The Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle maker is a perfect replacement. The waffles are thick, but not Belgian waffle thick, cooked perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Use 1/2 for batter, or use the cup included then the overflow will contain the extra bit of waffle. I like the 7 heat settings, the sturdy build of the waffle maker, the working cord holder as well as the good size of the waffle. The way the waffle maker cooks seems just right, not too fast and not too hot. Also the top and the bottom of the waffles were cooked evenly, unlike many of the waffle makers I have tried.

I have been using the same iron for almost 30 years. I bought this hoping it would make my life easier (damaged my old one with spray). My end thought, I will use this some more but I am not dumping my old one yet. Sure it is messier and I have to deal with Teflon problems. But it browns evenly. Cons: Don't go past 4 settings or they are burnt. It does not brown evenly no matter which setting you use (Didn't try max, but I'm not in to charcoal). Puddling batter in the middle will NOT make it disperse evenly. Do not rely on the internal "ready" light. Time your best waffle and use a different source for timing. Had to thicken my batter, the overflow filled up while there were still holes in my waffle. If your are a stickler for clean, put some towels down, there is a lot of condensation. Pros: Cooks 2min 20sec vs my older model that I was at 5min 30sec. (Which is actually a pain now, no time to sit!) Teflon worked well (first time using it ....) No fat added to my batter in anticipation and they came away clean. **Love the overflow**. No batter to clean up from the counter!!!!

I already had a waffle maker that worked very well, but only made 2 small square ones at a time, which ultimately was a time-intensive endeavor when making them for more than myself. I opted to upgrade to this one to speed up the job. The outer lip that prevented overflow was certainly no insignificant factor that led me to selecting this one. It does, in fact, make excellent waffles and cleans up easily, too, BUT don’t even bother pretending that the outer overflow lip is going to save you from having batter dripping down the sides. Resign yourself to the reality, place it on a surface that’s easy to wipe down, and have a damp sponge or paper towels handy to clean off the exterior while you’re at it. Easy enough! The one small downside is the EXTREMELY short electrical cord on the appliance. While I understand the “safety” rationale, it dramatically complicates where you can use it, and truthfully, necessitates using a power strip if you have the routine gamut of kitchen appliances you use daily already competing for counter space. Not ideal, but reality rarely is. All in all, while not the revolutionary “mess-free” waffle maker of my dreams, it is a solid, consistently-performing one that makes tasty waffles and that’s what matters most to me!

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.

Excelente producto, al inicio me costó trabajo saber qué tan tostados quería que salieran, pero es fácil de utilizar, una maravilla

This is the first waffle iron I've owned and I'm very happy with it. It works great for such an inexpensive appliance. I was expecting the first few batches to be trial and error as I experimented with batter amounts and temperature settings, but I set the knob to 4, filled the included measuring cup to the recommended line and the first waffle I made turned out just the way I like it. I've been hesitant to get a waffle maker all these years because I thought they'd be a pain to clean, but the non-stick coating makes it easy. Just wipe it with a damp cloth and it's ready to go for the next time.
