Overview
A compact Belgian-style waffle maker that cooks two individual square waffles at once, with a shade dial for lighter or crispier results. Nonstick stainless steel plates are fixed in place rather than removable, and the lid locks shut for upright storage in a cabinet.
The main weak point that comes up is the plastic latch: at least one buyer had it snap after just two uses, even though the waffles themselves kept coming out fine. Cleaning is straightforward despite the plates not lifting out.
- Makes 2 waffles per batch
- Adjustable shade selector
- PFAS-free nonstick plates
- Locks for upright cabinet storage
Who it's for
Fits people who want a small two-waffle maker that stores upright in a cabinet rather than sitting out on the counter. Less ideal if you want removable plates for a deeper clean or a latch built for heavy daily use.
Pros and cons
- Cooks two square waffles in about 4 to 5 minutes
- Locks shut for compact upright storage
- Nonstick surface wipes clean without much effort
- Locking clip can snap after light use
- Plates are fixed in place, not removable
- Area near the lock can get hot enough to need a glove
Performance notes
Batter goes into two square wells with a spill-proof ridge, and a shade selector adjusts the cook from lighter and fluffier to darker and crisper. Power and preheat lights signal when it's ready for batter, and the whole unit cooks a batch in about 4 to 5 minutes.
