Know before you buy
Yes, the plates are removable and dishwasher safe. Because they feature a non-stick coating, they are also very easy to clean by hand with a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
The steam release system prevents moisture from getting trapped inside the iron. This ensures your waffles have a crisp, golden-brown exterior while remaining light and fluffy on the inside.
Yes, the unit is specifically designed for upright storage. Its compact footprint allows it to stand on its side, making it easy to tuck into a cabinet or pantry.
The waffle maker features audible alerts that notify you when the unit has reached the correct temperature for batter and again when your waffles have finished cooking to your selected shade level.
This model is designed for Belgian-style waffles, which are thicker and feature deeper pockets to hold syrup and toppings.
You have six distinct shade levels to choose from. This allows you to customize the crispiness of your waffles, ranging from a light, soft texture to a deep, crunchy golden brown.
