Overview
Cuisinart's two-sided countertop unit bakes a deep Belgian waffle on one plate and rotates to a nonstick griddle side for omelets, frittatas, pancakes or English muffins. It runs at 1400 watts with a rotary browning knob and LED and audio doneness cues, giving two breakfast items from one appliance.
The rotating hinge is the whole point here: flip the unit over instead of running two separate machines. Some reviewers found the plastic housing feels light for the price, and the cooking plates are fixed in place, so cleanup means wiping rather than pulling them out for a wash.
- 1400 watts with rotary temperature control
- Extra deep 1 inch waffle pocket
- 2 LED indicators, 3 audio doneness tones
- Limited 3 year warranty
Who it's for
Households that eat waffles and eggs regularly and want them ready around the same time will get the most use out of this. It suits anyone tired of scraping pancakes off a skillet.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who liked it praised how simply it turned out waffles and omelets and called cleanup easy, with the flip mechanism drawing specific praise for replacing a skillet. Complaints centered on plastic-feeling construction relative to the price, plates that don't remove for washing, a short cord, and at least one unit that stopped working after two uses.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cooks a waffle and eggs at the same time
- Audio and LED cues signal doneness on both sides
- Omelette side doubles for pancakes, frittatas or English muffins
- Plates don't remove for washing
- Housing has notable plastic parts for the price
- Cord runs short per at least one buyer
Performance notes
The rotary thermostat and browning knob let you dial in doneness, and two LEDs plus three audio tones flag when each side finishes, which several reviewers said removed the guesswork of judging color through the lid. The waffle pocket is built extra deep at 1 inch for a thicker Belgian-style result than a standard flat iron produces.
