KRUPS 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker: Stainless Steel, 5 Browning Levels, Audible Ready Beep, Removable Plates, 1200W, Silver/Black - Perfect for Family Breakfasts

The best of the best. I have one same brand 7 years old and still working perfectly except the alarm that is a little weaker than some years ago. But I don’t care as I use a timer on my watch. I like my waffles all medium brown, crunchy outside and soft inside, to my taste it takes about 5/6 minutes. A tip to know if the waffle is ready no more steam should be seen coming out from the waffle maker. It means it’s cooked, but sometime I have a look and it still needs a little more times . An advice: never let the waffles wait inside the machine once it’s cooked at your taste , you would ruin them, take them out and enjoy them. They can be frozen still warm in a glass container and you will get them as freshly cooked if you put them in a good toaster on defrost and watching to get them like they were when freshly baked. I make now only GF by obligation and they’re are amazingly delicious and nobody ever notice before I reveal it. I recently bought a second one being afraid than the tariffs could affect the prices too much and they could be more difficult to get if my old would decide to be retired! The new one has a strong alarm and works as well as its ancestor and they are precious when more family members arrive and claim vehemently please make your waffles, please, please! So much so I ask myself do they really come for me or my waffles? 😅 oh! I almost forgot , cleaning is a breeze, I never put the waffle plates in the dish washer and wash then only using a soft sponge with soap and warm water. For cooking I rarely use butter on them but a good avocado oil that I apply with a silicone brush for pastry. Enjoy!

I love this waffle maker!!! It has the removable waffle plates, easy to clean, and… The machine is easy to clean, not so many crevices where food can hide. I had a similar waffle maker from a more expensive brand that worked for my family for many years, then it just quit. We checked the fuses, and all of the parts, couldn't find the problem. So I ordered this wonderful item, and so far I am very happy with it. I love the simple dial feature for different levels of heat, and, I especially like the beep feature. I have made small hash brown patties in it, and I noticed the beep sounded according to the moisture level of the patties. When the waffle iron first heated, it beeped at five minutes, nice brown patties. My other batches brought me six minutes, no burnt hashbrowns! So you could say this is a "smart waffle maker!" It makes really nice waffles too. If you really want a delicious waffle, separate your eggs before mixing, fluff the egg whites into a foam with a little bit of sugar at the end, then fold them into your waffle batter. Make the waffle batter scoopable rather than a liquid pourable viscosity. Then you could put about 1/2 cup of batter in the center of each of the quadrants of the plate. There should be no overflow with this amount. You will have a delicious, crunchy, soft in the middle waffle. This waffle maker is nice and compact for its size, has a short cord that rolls up around the pegs in the back. It is a low profile appliance that can be stored on its feet or on its end.

I love this waffle maker! I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to upgrade to it. It makes Saturday morning waffles a breeze. It makes a good amount at once and the timer makes it so easy to make the perfect waffle. I like to keep some in freezer for a quick weekday morning treat for my kiddo. I’ve found the best way to do this is to cook them on #3 so they aren’t too brown. Let them cool completely and then freeze. Pop them in the toaster and they are perfect! I have a standard sized toaster and they fit perfectly.

On my first picture you will see the waffles came out so so at setting setting 3 , then the next time I put it at setting five, which is the highest or for more brownness and it came out pretty good no sticking and final product on the last picture. but one thing I noticed the handle is really hot so you have to use a oven glove.

This is a great waffle maker! It is easy to control the darkness/crispiness of the waffles. The waffles are big.

The KRUPS 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker has been a great addition to our kitchen. It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes four full-size waffles at once, which is perfect for family breakfasts (especially when you’ve got hungry kids waiting).The 5 browning levels let you customize the crispness — I like mine golden and fluffy, and it nails it every time. The audible beep is a small but super helpful feature so I don’t have to hover and guess when they’re done.Cleanup is surprisingly easy thanks to the removable plates — they pop right out and rinse clean without much effort. Plus, the stainless steel design looks sleek and feels durable.If you’re looking for a reliable waffle maker that balances performance and convenience, this is a solid choice. Definitely makes weekends feel a little more special.

Very satisfied with this product. We have homemade waffles almost every weekend. The Krupps waffle maker consistently delivers perfect waffles with almost no effort. Easy cleanup, too. The plates are dishwasher safe. I usually hand wash and dry them, but I have put them in the dishwasher on several occasions with no ill effects or issues.

Just know that the top plate usually drops down when you open to get your waffles. It takes a bit of finagling to put it back for the next batch as it's very hot but it's doable. Other than that it makes great waffles. I make fresh ground whole wheat waffles.
