As with all of my Cuisinart kitchen appliances, I really love this waffle maker. The waffles come out consistently uniform every time and they are delicious. Put the batter in, close the lid and, after a few seconds, a red light appears. When the light turns green again, the waffles are finished… no more setting a timer. The unit also comes with a generous recipe collection (included in the instruction book). A FANTASTIC waffle maker!

It's a very basic waffle maker. Plates do not come out for washing. It would be nice if there was some kind of indicator as to how much batter to use. I'm an idiot and never made waffles. I made a mess. LOL

Thank you for sharing your experience! For best results, we recommend filling the waffle wells about two-thirds full to avoid overflow, and a little practice goes a long way—making waffles is a learning process for everyone.

My waffle iron quit, it was almost 20 years old. My new one, Cuisinart, is wonderful. I was quite leary about most of the new ones out until I found this one. The size I wanted and it has a new feature to me. I can pick the degree of brownness in the finished product. So now, not everyone can have the waffle they want.

Hi there, we want every waffle from your Round Classic Waffle Maker to be perfectly cooked. For best results, preheat the waffle maker fully before adding batter, and avoid opening it too soon while cooking. If you continue to need assistance, please contact our Customer Service team at 1‑800‑726‑0190 for guidance and support.

Still playing with the amount of batter to put on the waffle iron to get full coverage and uniform thickness. The instructions don’t recommend enough batter. We’ve only used it twice but like being able to make waffles at home. As with any new product practice makes perfect. I’m sure that once we figure out the batter it will be great

I had wanted to replace my old waffle maker for a while, as it made the Belgian style waffles, while I prefer the thinner classic style waffles. Plus the old one had a Teflon type non-stick coating, which I want to avoid due to toxicity issues. This product had a ceramic type coating which is of less concern. This product makes perfect crispy-on-the-outside waffles. I just set the thermostat all the way up to “5”, and let the batter go through one cycle. When the green light comes on again it’s pretty much done the way I like it - every time. One thing I noticed is that the thermostat lever feels loose, like it has a bit of play it it.
