Hinges and Hinge Caps break too easily

We bought this product to start making homemade waffles, and after our first use, we were pleased. But I also noticed (AFTER ONE USE) that both hinge caps had fallen out as they were sitting next to the appliance on the shelf. Then after the second use, the top piece was completely disconnected from the bottom unit. Hinges had either broken or also fallen out.
Now it's not like this is an appliance that gets banged around. It got used, wiped/cleaned, and put back on the shelf. If you go to the Customer Care-> Parts section for it, the ONLY parts available are the Hinges and Hinge Caps. Coincidence? Probably Not. And the fact that those parts costs MORE than the unit did is a joke. B&D needs to replace those free of charge.
The unit works as advertised, but very low quality on the secondary parts. I would not buy the hinges or a replacement unit...I'll buy another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Piece of junk

I've used this twice and already both hinge pins have broken. The handles also seem a bit weak although the are still in tact. It cooks a good waffle if it would only stay together.

Hinge clips broken
on April 14, 2012

Used only for the third time and both snap-in plastic hinge clips broke. Now the upper half is only held together by the upper heating element wires. More to come on how B&D supports this hungry customer : (

Product inferior

We have purchased two of these waffle makes months apart at two separate stores and each time the hinge has broken the very first time we used them. We thought the first time was just an isolated incident, and were annoyed to have the second one do the same thing! Checked on Google and there are numerous reports from others about the very same thing. Product needs to be recalled and problem solved before placing them on the market again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used it 3 times with the same result. Top doughie, bottom over cooked and it sticks even after spraying with vegetable spray. See pic. Very unsatisfied. Throwing this way and finding a different brand. I wish I had my mothers old one 1960 I should have changed the plug.

Yummy waffles

I have had my Black and Decker Belgian Waffle Maker for almost 7 years. It has served it's purpose well. my only complaint is that it doesn't have a reservoir for overflow. Because I like LOTS of batter. Also...After years of opening and closing... The little plastic pins or knobs in the hinge are worn out/cracked. This makes the top lid wiggle a bit too much. I will probably buy another one unless I could buy those parts to fix it. The griddles are well seasoned and the waffle maker is always a huge hit when my grand babies are around! THANK YOU Black & Decker.
I would recommend this to a friend!
