Hamilton Beach Waffle Maker, Pro, Smart, Non-Stick, 7 Browning Levels, 5 Programmes, Family Size, Digital Display, Overflow Protection, Silver - HB5403T

Very good waffle maker. Quite heavy but seem reliable and good quality. Waffles comes super nice crunchy and setting options are very handy so you can adjust it to your liking. Non stick! you don't need any fat at all or just a bit. Also I like the dripping tray around it so it stay nice and clean. Very easy to clean just wipe, no necessity scrubbing etc. Pricey but worth it if you want proper waffles.

Only had it for 10 days, used about 4 times for few batches of classic waffles from the enclosed booklet. Cannot obviously comment on longevity, but more on power and functionality. It is a powerful machine at 1600 W. Prior to this we had SALTER waffle maker, which was only 900 W and it required turning over the waffles with tongs to make sure they were even. After 7 years of serving us the old machine stopped being non-stick and we had to throw it away as nothing helped. So I knew I need something at least 1000 W or more and after few months of research came across this one. Pros: -very powerful, heats top and bottom, waffles are browned evenly, no need to turn - due to the enclosed measuring cup it was easy to work out what amount to use to prevent overspill. I only used it once to compare with my silicone spoon I mix the dough with and convert the measurements as silicone spoon is easier to pour from and to clean afterwards - it does lock like the other machine we had so the steam and gasses escape through side when the dough is raising. It is much better than with the other machine, which was locked for the cooking process and I had to open it momentarily to let the steam out Cons: - it is fairly heavy so a bit tricky if you need to store it in the tall cabinet like

Absolutely incredible value! I saw this exact same model at Currys for £129, so getting it at this price felt like a steal. More importantly, the performance is top-notch it makes perfectly golden, delicious waffles every time. Easily the best waffle maker I have ever owned.

I'm one of those people who rarely leaves reviews online, but I always read them before buying anything. The fact that I'm leaving a review here means something important has happened. Namely, I've fulfilled my childhood dream of making perfect waffles at home, which until now I had to pay someone to make for me. This fantastic machine makes perfect waffles every time. Every time! And I can have as many as I want. Every time! I recommend this waffle maker, but it's only been my first day of use, so I can't advise on long-term use. Greetings to all fans of delicious homemade waffles!

Not disappointed. This is by miles the best waffle maker. You just cannot get them wrong. If you do standard waffles or protein, gluten free, keto friendly - all of them will come exactly as you want them. Fluffy inside and crispy outside or all the same with uniform texture. This machine is worth every penny!!!

I used this waffle maker today and I’m honestly impressed. The waffles came out perfectly golden, crispy on the outside and soft inside. It heats up quickly and cooks evenly, so there’s no guessing or burnt spots. Super easy to use and clean as well. I’m really happy with the results — definitely recommend it! 😊

Some major issues with the design, it is exceptionally hard to clean vs other waffle makers I have used and seems designed to make a mess. The main problem there is a huge channel cutout in the sides between the waffle section and the overflow trough so waffle mixes that are not extra stiff flow out as they rise making a huge mess. Never had maker with that on before and thinner batter mixes that rise well practically squirt out all over the counter and down the sides. Even trying mixes that the included recipe booklet includes is a little too thin for it. Because it is deep fill and sticks worse than my old sage and a salter both of which eventually packed in the waffles usually rip in half when trying to open too. I have had other makers do that and extra oil in the mix and stiffer dough can help but just wish it was as none stick as sage/breville plates. None removable plates I can live with but this is very hard to clean with many unreachable cracks around the plates AND with the design made to overflow so easy means I will likely give it to one of my family instead. The pros are it is fast, really even results, pretty cheap and if you use thicker oily mix and slightly under fill at the edges it is not bad. For me it isn't fit for purpose though.

This isn’t just another waffle maker, this works better than any I’ve ever had. Once heated, you select your waffle type and doneness level, open the lid, pour in the batter, just so it only just covers the bumps. Close the lid, clip it shut, no guessing, this has a timer and beeps when it’s done. Out comes a perfect waffle, easy to remove, utterly non-stick (there does need to be oil in the batter!) Pour the next, close and the timer starts again. Simple. These things are like the very best waffles I’ve had in Belgium that I never thought I’d have again, here I am making them whenever I want. I’m reliving memories of fresh waffles made at the top of the Europa Tower in Oostende back when the cafe was open. There’s no need to clean, there’s nothing left to clean out. If there’s any overspill, there’s a moat around the waffle that catches and cooks it. Use a silicone spatula to remove the waffles, it just slides out. Clips closed and sits upright so it doesn’t take up much space. Very happy with this.

Very good product

I’d really like to give this 4 stars. But I can’t get crisp outside and soft inside waffles It looks just like my Breville waffle maker at less than half the price. I would have given it four stars, except for the tiny moat. It’s far too narrow. I tried twice. I got a messy overflow that I had to clean up. So , I thought, maybe I added too much rising agents? I happened to have my trust old Breville, with the extra wide moat and thought I’d compare. I was so surprised to see no overflow at all! So, the waffle chamber must not be as deep. The waffles are okay, but the problem is I’m comparing them with my old machine. At the price, it’s good enough. I wish the designers would redesign the moat .. it’s too small to be of use
