Euro Cuisine WM520 Heart Shaped Iron Waffle Maker - Eco-Friendly PTFE and PFOA Free Non Stick Plates, Perfect for V-Day & Special Occasions, 8-Inch

Literally the best waffle maker! Safe with good material and easy to clean. The waffles, totally disengage when done so it doesn't get stuck to the machine.I love this waffle maker so much.

I bought this waffle iron in 2019, and seven years later it is still faithfully producing heart-shaped waffles like a tiny breakfast foundry of joy. It heats evenly, browns beautifully, and has survived my highly scientific cooking method of “pour batter until vibes suggest stopping.” Even when slightly overfilled, it handles the chaos with dignity. The waffles come out crisp on the outside, soft inside, and shaped like five little edible valentine cards. The heart design is also useful because you can pretend you are practicing portion control while eating all five sections. Cleanup is easy, the nonstick surface has held up, and the machine still works after years of service. In small-appliance terms, that basically makes it a war veteran. No, it does not have removable plates or fancy digital settings. It is not trying to connect to Wi-Fi, monitor your sleep, or harvest your data. It just makes waffles. Admirable restraint in this age. Five stars. Reliable, charming, and still doing its job long after many trendier kitchen gadgets would have retired to the Cabinet of Forgotten Appliances.

Wonderful for NON-Belgian style waffles and traditionally heart-shaped waffles like typically done in other European countries like Norway, Germany, etc. Not as thick as Belgian style but definitely not too thin - just right! If you are German they taste best with powdered sugar and applesauce. Or with whipped cream and cherry jelly. If you are American or Canadian they taste best with maple syrup. The waffle maker itself: I was surprised about the good sturdy quality of this 28 Dollar device and how fast it heats up. It has a ceramic non stick coating and you don't need to use any oil or spray at all, the waffles can be taken out easily with a fork when done. One waffle take about 3 minutes to get done and we like to have this little waffle maker right with us on the table at breakfast now on Sundays. The greatest thing about this waffle maker though is that it gets very hot on the outside surface. You have to teach your kids not to touch it or only to touch the handle that has been conveniently mounted by the manufacturer for exactly that purpose. If they still touch the hot surface then this great waffle maker will finally teach your kids that they have to listen to you. It should be given out to all American moms out there I think ;-)

I love waffles - and so does my daughter. Every waffle recipe book she's ever looked at had heart-shaped waffles and that's what she really, really wanted (she's four...). I already own a fancy waffle maker - one of those contraptions that can make two waffles at the same time and that can be "flipped" - but it is square and not heart-shaped and the waffles are really thick. Thus, I set out to find the perfect waffle maker - one that produces heart-shaped waffles, one that bakes the waffles at an even shade of golden brown, and one that produces waffles that are nowhere near as thick as the square belgian waffles my other waffle maker makes. I found finding such a waffle maker online rather impossible - you can't really see the contraption and thus, you don't really know how big the waffles will be nor, more importantly, how thick or thin they will be. Descriptions of this waffle maker seemed to include a lot of "the waffles are neither too thick nor too thin" - which is nice, but doesn't really tell me if the waffles will meet my expectations. I was unable to find a heart-shaped waffle maker in the store and thus, decided to simply buy this one on a whim. Well, so here I am with my new waffle maker and really like it. There's not much in terms of set-up - plug in, select shade of golden brown you want, put batter in, wait until the "ready" light comes on, and eat. This is as simple as it gets - and it should be. It's also how just about every single waffle maker I have ever owned has functioned - thus, please forgive me for not going into the specifics of which light comes on when, etc. If you've ever seen a waffle maker, you'll know how this thing works. Now, the waffles are not the biggest - but they are big enough. The waffles also do not come out with a consistent golden brown hue - instead, there is a much lighter spot in the center - I found this somewhat irrelevant but still worth mentioning while also providing a reason for the subtraction of one star. How thick are the waffles? Neither too thick nor too thin. There's really no better way to describe them and I finally grasp the other reviewers. The waffles are just right - the way you want them. I am happy and my daughter is happy - and I think you will be, too. All you need now is a good recipe book and a gym membership. Yum.

This waffle maker makes super thin and crisp waffles easy to make. I have my own batter from Healthy Flour Organic Sprouted Ancient Grain Mix Flour and added assorted nuts and seeds (grounded) and spices and sweeteners. It worked easily and made perfect waffles every time. Even pouring a little excess batter didn't matter, it did not drip over the sides. You set the dial and 5 minutes later (because of the thicker batter it was ready. If you want thin and crispy waffles the Eurocuisine is the way to go and the price point is even better now that it is in good supply everywhere.

Pros: Although it doesn't come apart, it is easy to clean with a sponge and a kitchen towel. It is small so it stores easily It makes just the right amount of waffle for one person or child (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of batter makes a waffle depending on how thick you make your mix.) It is extremely straightforward and easy to use. I'm not scared of getting burned by it like my last waffle maker that liked to close on me unexpectedly. It's sturdy and heavy. Over all it appears to be well constructed. Cons: When you first get it, run a test batch of batter through a few times, after you clean it, to remove all the chemical residue. When I first heated it up the chemical odor had me opening up windows and turning on a fan - you definitely do not want that in your cooking! My test batch of batter was 1 cup of self-rising flour, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, water. That was enough for three waffles but could have stretched it to four waffles with a thinner batter. Most appliances like this I would run a test batch of batter through first, not just this particular waffle iron. The waffles are much smaller than I had anticipated. Think - heart shaped cookies and you about have it. They vary in height depending on your batter but 1/2 inch is pushing it. Most of mine were a little less than that. The lights on the unit are very hard to see on / off. They're not very bright. Over All: Very easy to use, the easiest I've ever used actually. Would not work if you're doing a big family waffle morning, but just right for kid portions or a side item. Easy to store and clean.

Love this waffle maker! It has lasted me a couple years. I mostly just use it to make hash brown waffles, and mashed potato waffles.

I recently purchased this at the recommendation of a friend and when I attempted to use it for the first time, it began to smell like a hot glue gun. When I opened it, I saw melted plastic all over the inside. There was no visible evidence of anything that needed to be removed before plugging the waffle maker into the outlet. I reached out to my friend for her input, and she informed me that she did not experience this when she bought hers. Very strange! Very concerning. I reached out to Euro Cuisine and they informed me there was nothing they would do. To clarify, there was nothing inside the waffle maker when it was plugged in. No paper, no wax paper, nothing. Disappointed.

Calienta uniformemente. Buenos acabados y muy bonita.

First, I love how small it is. Takes up very little space on my counter. The prettiest waffles I have ever made and done in 3 minutes. Very easy to clean and I don't need to respray oil between waffles. And best of all no forever chemicals. Love it!

Los waffles quedan bien, aunque son un poco delgados. El control de cocción sirve bien aunque no hay demasiada variación entre el punto más bajo y el más alto. Lo principal que buscaba era la forma de corazón así que se llevan las 5 estrellas.

I’m going to need bigger pants….

Me gusto el diseño de la waflera, pero como leí, vienen delgados para ser wafles. A parte de mi familia le gusto el diseño y nos divertimos con ello.
