Key features like the intuitive darkness control and automatic timing deliver perfectly cooked waffles consistently, achieving a desirable crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Users appreciate the premium, durable construction synonymous with Breville. The effective nonstick surface simplifies waffle removal and cleanup.

Know before you buy
Waffle IQ sensors automatically detect the batter type and temperature, then adjust the cooking time based on your selected browning setting to ensure consistent results. It takes the guesswork out of timing by calculating exactly when your waffle is done.
The Smart Waffle Pro is designed specifically for Belgian-style waffles, which feature deep pockets perfect for holding syrup and toppings. While you can use various batter recipes, the plate design is fixed for that classic thick, airy Belgian texture.
You can simply press the 'A Bit More' button. This adds a short, calibrated amount of extra cooking time without needing to reset the entire cycle or guess how long to leave it in.
The non-stick plates allow for an easy release, and the integrated overflow moat is specifically designed to catch any excess batter before it hits your counter. While the plates are non-stick, we recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth once cooled to maintain the coating's longevity.
The unit measures 15.5 inches wide and 11.5 inches deep, so it has a substantial footprint. Given its 1800W power output and 4-slice capacity, it is a full-sized appliance intended for permanent counter placement or storage in a large cabinet.
The included dosing cup is calibrated to the capacity of the waffle plates, which helps prevent overfilling. By using the recommended amount of batter, you significantly reduce the chance of overflow and ensure each of the four sections cooks evenly.
