I love this waffle maker! It is so easy to use. It does take a bit longer to heat up than I had expected, but it's no big deal. I did find that a sourdough waffle batter cooked differently than a boxed waffle mix, so you need to check on them after a couple of minutes to be sure they don't burn. The sweet spot for my waffles have been between 3 and 4, depending on what batter I use.

I love the way this waffle maker works. The paddles that are removable not only make for multiple uses (waffles or pancakes), but also allow easy clean-up!

This is a replacement for a larger cheaper brand four square waffle maker that made great crispy waffles. The timer was going bad so I wanted to replace it. This CUISINART maker makes terrible chewy waffles. I already threw away the receipt and box so I am stuck with this. I can't believe how expensive this maker is. Terrible product. Big mistake.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the waffle plates are not staying securely in place, as they should lock in firmly when properly aligned and pressed down until you hear or feel them click. We recommend removing and reinstalling the plates to ensure they are fully seated and that no debris is preventing them from locking. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can assist you further.

I bought this a few days ago. It makes great waffles. Tried cooking eggs on the pancake plate but they stuck even after seasoning as recommended. Disappointed that there’s no way to lay the two sides of the waffle iron down so that the two plates that aren’t for waffles could be used at the same time. I bought this to replace the one I had for 15 years that died and had removable plates that could be flipped and used as griddles. Cuisinart could modify the design to allow customers to get the most use out of their purchase.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the waffles. For cooking eggs on the pancake plates, we recommend preheating fully, lightly coating the surface with cooking spray or oil just before adding eggs, and allowing them to set before attempting to flip to help reduce sticking. While this model is designed primarily for waffle-making with interchangeable plates, we appreciate your suggestion regarding expanded functionality and will be sure to share your comments with our product team.

Heats quickly, evenly. Cooks well. Great timer tone for when waffle is done. Love the removable plates. Although theyre quite lightweight (and not heavy like the oney parwntd had from late 1960s).
