Waring WMK300 Professional Belgian Waffle Maker

Pros: very easy to use, beeps to let you know waffle is cooked
Cons: expensive, plates aren't removable

I've owned a few waffle makers in my life and somehow managed to lose every single one during the many moves I made in my twenties. I had been thinking about buying myself a new waffle maker but kept putting off the purchase during the past year. When ...

Pros: Easy to use; Even easier to clean; Makes great waffles
Cons: None, but I would like to see a new version that is double sided.

Breakfast isn’t one of my favorite meals. I usually don’t bother making eggs, bacon, pancakes, or any other hot food and instead opt for a bowl of cereal or a doughnut. My reluctance to making hot breakfast food isn’t because I don’t like ...

Pros: This is a high quality product that makes great waffles. Clean up is a snap!
Cons: This product takes some fine tuning to get the waffles the way you want them

In April of 2004, I was looking to buy a quality waffle iron that would give me predictable results with easy clean up. As such, I bought a Waring WMK300 Professional Belgian Waffle Maker. This waffle maker is a very professional-looking self-contained ...

Pros: Restaurant-quality performance. Fast, consistent baking.
Cons: Weak plastic used in critical parts.

UPDATE, January 24, 2008 After three years of wonderful weekly waffles, our Waring Pro Belgian waffle maker literally went to pieces. One would think the word "Pro" in the brand name, the heft and feel, and the hefty price tag would all add up to ...

Pros: This is truly a professional grade waffle iron that produces perfection consistently.
Cons: It is a heavy duty large appliance that requires a large space

Our family takes a vacation to Star Valley Wyoming every year. Each year we have stayed at the same bed and breakfast. This last year they had a new treat! Waffles and not just any waffle. These were great waffles. Their appliance of choice? The ...

Pros: Solid build, easy operation
Cons: Not space-saving

My wife gave me this for my birthday. She was reluctant to give me a waffle maker out of fear that it would be yet another small kitchen appliance that would never be used (and just take up space.) After a year of ownership, this waffle maker has been ...

Pros: BEST-TASTING WAFFLES IN THE UNIVERSE MADE EASILY BY AN AFFORDABLE TOP-QUALITY MACHINE!
Cons: SPOILED FOR ANY OTHER WAFFLE, WEIGHT GAIN FROM EATING TOO MANY DELICIOUS WAFFLES.

Ok, I don't care what you are doing right now. You HAVE to listen to me. If you like waffles, you have to buy this waffle maker. YOU HAVE TO! Do you understand me? I don't get breathless in print very often, but I'm serious. This is such an ...

Pros: The WMK300 is made to satisfy real Belgian waffle-lovers week in, month out.
Cons: The internal timer is easily confused if you leave the top up too long.

It's difficult to know where to begin in reviewing this Belgian waffle maker, so I'll begin with our 1st waffle made in it, which I still remember making. Even though we did not use a recipe from those included, yet following the other directions, the ...

Pros: Perfect waffles, no cleanup, cool professional look, rotational Karma, 1 year warranty.
Cons: Pricey, larger than most waffle makers and can smart your toes if dropped.

Had a waffle at a Ramada made with a rotating waffle maker. Loved that little round fellow, so I thought I should ask Santa for one, and got it. Here's the rundown of the pros and cons of this not so little guy and whether you should get one: 1. ...

Pros: Wonderful iron that's easier to clean than most.
Cons: Heavy, large footprint, and hard to move/store.

What can be better? Sourdough waffles with real maple syrup? To me, even though pancakes and waffle batter is pretty much the same. I guess if you want to get technical, waffle batter usually calls for a little more oil. But to me, I ...

Pros: Super easy, fast, consistent color, perfect!
Cons: Absolutely none, except getting fat eating waffles all the time!!!

I spent hours researching; hours visiting stores; hours hemming and hawing over my newest object of appliance lust..... a waffle maker. Of course my first stop was epinions. Rave reviews on this Waring. But it looked funny. Too industrial for what I ...

Pros: Good at catching drips. Heavy duty, grounded power cord.
Cons: Can't remove teflon plates for cleaning. Alarm occasionally doesn't work. Chrome dulling.

My wife purchased a Waring as a birthday replacement for a disappointing F arberware, which was nothing but trouble. Since day one, the Waring has been satisfactory. To "breakin" the Waring, and give it a chance to ...

Pros: It makes you feel like a chef.
Cons: It is a little pricey.

Waring Pro Waffle Maker actually makes cooking breakfast an exciting event. If you are at my house, though, it is much more likely we would be cooking waffles for dinner. Let’s check out the features on this snazzy appliance. Product ...

Pros: Lots of heat, cooks fast, good for cooking heavy batters such as whole wheat
Cons: Plastic hinge breaks after repeated use

UPDATE: Since I originally wrote this review I have lived with the Waring Pro for almost 1 and 3/4 years. In that time I purchased the original unit and while waiting for the warranty return (it broke) I bought another one. Since then, the second unit ...

Pros: Easy to use. Consistent each time. Non-stick, easy cleanup. Neat retro styling.
Cons: Bulky to store. Recipe included with maker is not great. A little too eggy.

We are a family of 6. I cannot begin to count how many waffle makers I have bought, and discarded because they can't make a decent waffle in an acceptable amount of time. The final straw was when I took my kids to the diner, and belgium waffles with ...
