Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle Maker w/Shade Selector, Temperature Control, Mess Free Moat, Round Iron w/Nonstick Plates & Cool Touch Handle, Measuring Cup Included, Black

I ordered this waffle iron after trying another brand that I didn't like at all. I found this one to be very easy to use and the batter scoop is a nice addition. I started with a 1/2 cup of batter in the scoop, as the instructions recommended, and that seemed to work well. The anti-overflow moat seemed to work as intended. I only had a little overflow into the moat using a 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Perhaps users who had a bad experience with overflow used more than a 1/2 cup of batter? Also, the nonstick plates functioned well and were easy to clean. I sprayed them with avocado oil spray on the first two waffles I made, but tried it without spraying them for a third waffle and had no issues with sticking. I used the "2" setting of doneness, which seemed to cook them nicely. I might experiment with other settings but 2 was suitable. I switched to this waffle iron after a disastrous experience with another brand (that is one of the top search results on Amazon), where the waffle stuck very badly, and it was a nightmare to clean after a significant amount of overflow. I like this iron much better and had a dramatically better experience using it than the first iron I bought. I recommend this one!

I already had a waffle maker that worked very well, but only made 2 small square ones at a time, which ultimately was a time-intensive endeavor when making them for more than myself. I opted to upgrade to this one to speed up the job. The outer lip that prevented overflow was certainly no insignificant factor that led me to selecting this one. It does, in fact, make excellent waffles and cleans up easily, too, BUT don’t even bother pretending that the outer overflow lip is going to save you from having batter dripping down the sides. Resign yourself to the reality, place it on a surface that’s easy to wipe down, and have a damp sponge or paper towels handy to clean off the exterior while you’re at it. Easy enough! The one small downside is the EXTREMELY short electrical cord on the appliance. While I understand the “safety” rationale, it dramatically complicates where you can use it, and truthfully, necessitates using a power strip if you have the routine gamut of kitchen appliances you use daily already competing for counter space. Not ideal, but reality rarely is. All in all, while not the revolutionary “mess-free” waffle maker of my dreams, it is a solid, consistently-performing one that makes tasty waffles and that’s what matters most to me!

Not bad. Definitely worth its money. It does the job and waffle comes out perfect and fast. I think the temperature setting might be slightly off just a little bit. And I mean very little bit. Otherwise, it is very good for what its intended for.

The best waffle maker I ever had was made in Italy, maybe in the 80's-before Belgian waffles became so popular. These waffles were nice and thick, & cooked perfectly. I have spent a lot of money over time trying to another perfect waffle maker. Wow! The Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle maker is a perfect replacement. The waffles are thick, but not Belgian waffle thick, cooked perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Use 1/2 for batter, or use the cup included then the overflow will contain the extra bit of waffle. I like the 7 heat settings, the sturdy build of the waffle maker, the working cord holder as well as the good size of the waffle. The way the waffle maker cooks seems just right, not too fast and not too hot. Also the top and the bottom of the waffles were cooked evenly, unlike many of the waffle makers I have tried.

I purchased the Chefman Anti-Overflow Belgian Waffle Maker and ended up using it for more than just traditional waffles. One of my favorite uses so far has been making waffle sugar cookies, and they turned out amazing. The results were evenly cooked, crisp on the outside, and perfectly shaped every time. The anti-overflow design works well and helps keep messes to a minimum, which is especially helpful when experimenting with thicker batters or cookie dough. The shade selector and temperature control make it easy to customize how light or crisp you want the final product, whether you’re making classic waffles or something more creative like cookies. The waffle plates heat evenly, and the finished cookies released easily without sticking. Cleanup was straightforward, and I didn’t have issues with batter or dough spilling out onto the counter. The appliance feels sturdy and well made, and it heats up quickly, which is convenient when making multiple batches. I also appreciate how user-friendly it is. The controls are intuitive, and it doesn’t take much trial and error to get consistent results. This makes it a good option for both everyday use and experimenting with fun recipes. If there’s one minor consideration, it does take up some counter space, but that’s expected for a waffle maker of this size. Overall, this waffle maker is reliable, easy to use, and versatile. It’s a great choice for anyone who enjoys both classic waffles and creative baking ideas.

Over Thanksgiving, my son gave me a recipe for pumpkin waffles. Little bit of cinnamon added. So so good. They just had to be cooked on a Belgium waffle machine because the deeper holes hold more syrup! I love this machine. Simple, easy to clean, works well, accurate heat. And I get to eat pumpkin waffles, ..more often than I should.!

This is a great waffle maker and a great value. Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting a lot based on price. This waffle iron is AMAZING. Set the control for medium, the green light comes on when done. The waffle comes out perfectly…..every time. I would recommend this waffle iron without any hesitation.

We purchased this to replace our favorite waffle iron that I accidentally broke. It’s good, but I’ll highlight some pros and cons. Pros: *It’s very clean! Because it sits flat, no oil from the cooking spray drips out. *It’s very easy to use. *The overflow prevention is seriously amazing! That’s a huge benefit compared to our old one. *Its very clean heats up very quickly. Cons: *The waffles are *very* thin, as opposed to our old one that made very thick, fluffy waffles. *The waffles don’t get very crispy even on the higher settings. It’s a well-made waffle maker with some great features, but I’d probably take more time selecting one next time to ensure we get one that makes bigger, fluffier waffles.

La uso para mi negocio, estamos en mayo 2022 y la llevo usando desde diciembre 2021. Calienta súper rápido y muy bien, parejo. Al principio fue difícil encontrar la medida exacta de masa para evitar derrames, pero luego encontré el modo y ya no se derrama nada. Con mi receta basta con cubrir totalmente la base para que quede perfectamente bien cubierto todo el molde pero no derrame. Tienes que experimentar un poco para saber qué cantidad, ya que depende mucho del tipo de masa que uses y lo espesa que esté. Otro tip, al principio no confiaba en la luz azul, así que revisaba el waffle cada cierto tiempo, pero luego vi que no es necesario, se enciende cuando está a la temperatura ideal, se apaga cuando echas la masa y cierras, cuando vuelve a encender el foco azul está completamente cocido al nivel de tostado que elijas, sin necesidad de estar revisando. Leí que a muchos se les ha quebrado por el “abrir y cerrar”, pero a mí me ha funcionado bien, por si las dudas he tenido el debido cuidado al manipularla para evitar que se dañe, ya que ciertamente se siente un poco flojo, no está muy ajustado, afortunadamente sigue en buenas condiciones. Es fácil de limpiar y no necesita grasa (mantequilla o aceite), no se le pega nada y es fácil quitar los residuos cuando está totalmente fría con un trapo limpio y húmedo, no es necesario lavar. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.

This waffle maker cooks waffles to perfection. And the waffles are so big. The anti-overflow works amazing. I don’t know what other people are talking about that said it didn’t. Maybe they have an older model. But mine works great. All it is, is an extended cooking surface so any batter that goes outside of the waffle grooves just gets cooked rather than making a mess. I liked it having a bit of an extra edge from the anti-overflow surface, it made it easier to get the waffle out. And if you’re worried about presentation you can easily cut or pull the edges off for a cleaner look. It’s fool proof. It tells you when to put the batter in and when the waffle is done. It has multiple level setting based on how browned you want your waffle. I cooked mine on level 3 (medium) for reference. It’s compact and light. It’s easy to clean, I just wiped it down with a cloth, nothing sticks to it. It was so easy to use my 5 year old was making waffles with my supervision.

Fácil de usar, la recetas incluidas pueden mejorar, pero eso es prueba y error y al gusto de cada quien. Se siente bien construida, con acabado negro mate que permite manipularla sin riesgo de caída, sin embargo ese acabado hace que sea dificil de limpiar por fuera; las planchas tienen un excelente antiadherente (no aplicar ninguno nunca), sólo hay que pasar un paño húmedo cuando esté fría. Lo mejor es el regulador de dorado del waffle, yo lo pongo en un punto antes del máximo para un buen dorado. Lo único que podría ser mejor es el seguro de cierre que es muy pequeño, se siente un juego (movimiento) entre la tapa superior e inferior, pero entiendo que es para evite derramar en caso de exceso de polvo para hornear. Pero 100% recomendado!

I love this thing! It makes nice large waffles and they look perfect! It’s really quick and easy to use and there is no spillage thanks to the inside rim. I use spray cooking oil to grease it before use and I find this helps with cleaning. I just use an antibacterial rag to wipe off and can get my finger into most of the crevasses. For the smaller crevasses I use a chopstick and a cloth. Works great and is quick to clean since not much sticks to it. This has been a great addition to our kitchen especially with low-carb recipes. We make lots of “chaffles” and it makes it so easy. The lights work well at signaling when it’s done or ready to add ingredients. There is a little click when the blue light comes on so that’s nice to have. The latch has gotten stuck once or twice but I just make sure to clean the latch with every use now and it’s been fine since doing that.

Soy fan de los wuafles , hago constantemente y está maquinita es una maravilla , fácil de usar, limpiar y hace unos wuafles perfectos , no derrama nada siempre y cuando uses la medida correcta que trae incluida y si pones de más la mezcla se queda en las orillas de la wuaflera , y el sabor depende la forma en que prepares tu mezcla, y si los gustas crujientes solo es cuestión de dejarlos más tiempo al que marca y a una temperatura media para que no se quemen.
