Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro Express Waffle Maker, Traditional Five of Hearts Reviews
Waffles are one of the favorites of mine from my childhood. I bought a waffle iron years ago and had a lot of problems with it sticking and just turning out bad waffles. I've been hesitant to buy one since then. After reading all the good reviews, I finally bought one and I am thrilled. For a novice waffle maker, I was making great waffles in five minutes. No problem sticking and the waffles were beautiful. I was making them too fast for everyone to keep up with them. There was a pleasant little couple of beeps to let you know it was ready. br /br /I loved the heart shapes, but there is something to consider in that there are five sections instead of four as in the round waffle maker. That means the sections are pretty small. It's a little tricky toasting them again if you freeze them as the size is a bit awkward. (And they do taste just as great toasted as when they come fresh out of the waffle iron.)br /br /A trick that I read is that you can keep them in a 200 degree oven separated on the racks, if you want to keep them warm and serve all at once. Just putting them on a wire rack afterwards for about 20 seconds will keep them from steaming on the plate and loosing the crispness. Make sure you have a plastic knife or something similar to get your waffle out, as you don't want to damage the non-stick coating.br /br /Play around with the levels and the two controls - crispy outside, light inside/ or evenly cooked throughout. I prefer pretty crispy waffles, so I found I actually liked the evenly cooked option, but most will probably prefer to take the crispy outside, light inside option and play with the different levels for breakfast waffles.br /br /

Perfect present for Mom. - C. Kolk - White Lake, MI
I made waffles with this iron and my mother loved them so much that she asked me for one for Christmas! I have even recommended this iron to folks shopping for a waffle iron in the store. We use this waffle iron almost every other weekend for amazing waffles. Cooks Illustrated recommended it and they haven't been wrong yet.
Cheap paint, great waffles - Stephanie Wilsen - Massachusetts
This waffle maker makes great waffles, but on the first day I used it, the white letters / labels ("baking", "ready", etc.) all smeared when I went to clean it with a damp paper towel. Now I have to guess at the waffle texture, too. Cheap paint on a good product. Hopefully they'll fire the paint supplier and replace my waffle maker with one that's worth the money.
