Pros: Good looking, easy to use, makes GREAT WAFFLES!
Cons: It is NOT A COOL TOUCH for sure!
Summary: Christmas time comes once a year, and with it, comes a lot of cheer. But not necessarily just what you wanted!
Our family has gotten too large to exchange individual gifts, so my daughter came up with the brainstorm to draw names and, with a ... read more

Pros: Removable plates take some effort away from cleanup; reversible plates expand usability.
Cons: Flimsy at best; mediocre waffles on a good day; astonishingly hot exterior with inadequate handles.
Summary: I like waffles. Scratch that: I love waffles. Especially whole-grain waffles with lots of stuff mixed in. Chunks of apple or banana, a handful of granola... call them nontraditional. And batters that really test the capabilities of a ... read more

Pros: Very easy to clean, 3-in-1 appliance, cooks waffles evenly
Cons: None
Summary: For years I've been struggling to produce decent waffles with my old, unsturdy, impossible-to-clean waffle maker. I'd end up with either a burnt crisp of a waffle or a sticky, undercooked mess that stuck to the appliance. Or one that was ... read more

Pros: Has heat-range controls
Cons: Spent too much time trying to find it. Internet rocks!
Summary: Did a lot of research to match the size, controls, and options before I narrowed the choice to just one unit. I was replacing a proctor/silex tiny iron made of plastic-type covers. It did an okay job, but took forever before having enough ... read more

Pros: Variety of uses; easy clean; reversible, removable grids; affordable
Cons: Outside gets very hot - exterior is NOT “cool touch”.
Summary: My boys (currently ages 10 & 8) are waffle connoisseurs. Or as I like to call them, “Waffle Freakasauruses”. For years I had been using a cheap, hand-me down single-waffle maker. After realizing it wasn’t heating as well as it used to, I started ... read more

Pros: Portable, Makes a good griddle, Easy to clean
Cons: Short cord, Messy, Doesn't always cook evenly.

Pros: Easy to use, light lets you know when it's ready.
Cons: I love this iron!! No cons!!
Summary: I own the Black and Decker Waffle Iron and Grill and wouldn't have any other model!! I tried many others before keeping this one, and only one other iron was as good, but it was over twice the price, so the B&D model won. It has a light that comes ... read more

Pros: reversable plates for flat grilling of grilled cheese sandwhiches and quesadilla's
Cons: non-stick performance is horrible.
Summary: I purchased this waffle-iron based on the Cooks Illustrated review, which generally gave it positive marks. It is reasonably priced, and has the bonus of having reversable plates. (Waffles on one side, Flat on the other side for grilled cheese, ... read more

Pros: A versatile workhorse that should last for years
Cons: Extremely thin non stick coating on plates
Outer shell gets dangerously hot
Summary: This unit replaced a similar Black & Decker grill that gave up the ghost after a decade or so. Specifically, the heating wires in the unit started to break, and I got tired of taking it apart to re splice the wires. This unit has Calrod like heating ... read more

Pros: Makes great crisp waffles and clean up is a breeze.
Cons: My only negative remark is that it cooks the waffles slowly
Summary: After having a GE waffle iron for 20 years, it was definitely time to replace it as I was getting tired of sticking waffles. I kept asking for a new one for Christmas. Alas, I did not receive one so I took it upon myself to buy me one after the first of ... read more

Pros: Easy to clean with removable grill, multi-purpose, even heat, large cooking area
Cons: wish it had a timer
Summary: I love this waffle iron! The main reason I chose to buy this iron was for the removable grills. My last waffle iron was so hard to keep clean that I wanted to be sure my next one had removable grills. The first thing I did was season the grills ... read more

Pros: versatile: removable dual purpose grids, open or closed grilling
Cons: no cool touch exterior
Summary: Well, it's a new year, so it is time for another review. I certainly don't lack products to review, but I like to use them for awhile before reviewing them and inevitably the review falls by the wayside. Not this time, however. I'm reviewing a product ... read more

Pros: Good design, appears heavy duty, removable plates for cleaning
Cons: Poor durability, high price.
Summary: This waffle iron looks like the one my parents had and worked well for years. My wife and I carefully checked out waffle irons before we bought one - we thought we'd have it for years, too, so we thought we'd spend the bucks for it. This model cost abou ... read more

Pros: Easy to use and clean. Non-sticking cooking surface.
Cons: Outside gets very hot!
Summary: I remember growing up and my parents would use a Black & Decker Grill and Waffle maker every weekend. So, as an adult and after many years, I decided to get one too. How did I make breakfast for so long without one? It's very lightweight. The griddle ... read more

Pros: Great tasting waffles
Easy to clean - grids separate from the machine
Cons: None
Summary: I had a previous version of this waffle maker for 15 years, and finally it needed to be replaced. I bought two other waffle irons and was greatly disappointed in their performance. The Black & Decker hasn't changed much at all -the new model is almost ... read more

Pros: Nothing outstanding
Cons: Dangerous exterior temperatures
Summary: I must return this item because it is unsafe due to its dangerously high exterior temperatures during operation. By my infrared measurements, the chrome surfaces exceed 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which is sufficiently high to cause severe burns to bare ... read more
