Hamilton Beach Belgian Waffle Maker

Overview

The Hamilton Beach 26020 bakes four 4 inch Belgian style waffles at once in about five minutes, with deep pockets built for syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. Indicator lights show when the plates are hot enough for batter, and a covered hinge with a batter channel keeps drips off the counter.

This is a batch-format mini waffle iron rather than a single large Belgian waffle maker. The deep grid pockets are also pitched by the maker for hash browns or low-carb chaffles, which widens its use beyond a standard breakfast waffle.

• 4 mini 4x5 inch waffles per bake
• Indicator lights for power and ready heat
• Nonstick grids with covered hinge and batter channel
• Compact black and stainless design for storage

Who it's for

Suits households or small families who want several ready-to-serve mini waffles from one bake cycle rather than one big waffle cut into pieces. Not the pick if you specifically want a single large Belgian waffle.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A power light and a ready light take the guesswork out of when to pour, and the deep pockets are sized to hold fillings like fruit or whipped cream without overflowing. The nonstick grids, covered hinge, and batter channel are built to route spills away from the counter.
