How many of you love waffles? In my family, getting waffles was a rare treat reserved for times my mom had a three day weekend with us growing up, or when we were traveling. What I loved the most about the restaurant waffles was not just their size, but the deep holes in the waffles for syrup or extra whipped cream (yes, I’m a weirdo who LOVES whipped cream and fruit on waffles). As an adult, I was surprised how hard it was finding a good restaurant quality waffle maker, especially if I didn’t want to have a GIANT unit that cost hundreds of dollars. Recently, however, we learned of an awesome new waffle maker that was perfect for our family – the Waring Belgian Waffle Maker. After reading a bit more about the unit, I was delighted when I found out Waring wanted to send us a complimentary unit to try for ourselves.

Waring Belgian Waffle Maker: Our Thoughts
Before I go any further, I have to say we were super excited to get into the box when the Waring Belgian Waffle Maker arrived. Both my husband and I love waffles, and honestly, it had been a long time since I made them. I just didn’t really care for my old waffle maker – it was a giant mess. What confused us when we first got it out of the box, however, was that there was no way to remove the plates. That seemed odd to me but after the directions said they wouldn’t need it, especially if they were seasoned properly with brushed butter or something like PAM. So, following the directions, I sprayed the heated plates with PAM coconut oil spray and get to work making waffles. Oh, before I go into how the waffles and cleaning went, I do want to say I love the LED lights that let you know when the unit is not just on, but ready. This same light is on the back of the unit once it is rotated.
Once the unit told us the first waffle was ready, we couldn’t wait to open it up and see how it looked. In all honesty, it was absolutely a gorgeous. I mean, picture perfect and came off super easy. This happened with all the waffles as we finished the batter I made. As you can see from the picture, the waffle was a gorgeous color and very fluffy!
What impressed me the most, however, was that the directions were right – you DON’T need to remove the plates for cleaning. The only thing that was messy was the drip tray. All you need to do is wipe it with a damp cloth, and honestly, not very much came up. It looked just as clean as when we started! I don’t think I could be more impressed with the quality of the waffle maker and the ease of use. Based on our own experience, we are delighted to give the Waring Belgian Waffle Maker an A+ rating and highly recommend it to our readers!

I love waffles but hate the clean up, so I have opted not to have a waffle iron and miss out on having waffles! This waffle maker will definitely be sitting on my countertop in the very near future!
That was one of my biggest issues too. My old one was such a mess and it felt almost impossible to clean. I used it twice and put in the back of a cabinet, where it hasn’t seen the light of day for probably 5 years! I absolutely love this waffle maker and I still can’t believe that clean up is just that easy!
this looks amazing never tried a waffle maker
this would be a good giveaway. (hint, hint) lol
I want a waffle maker.
I want on of these! I’ve never owned a waffle maker for the single reason of having to keep it clean…..I could handle this one!
I’ve never had home cooked waffles. I imagine they’re much better than the frozen brands. Those taste like cardboard to me.
This looks like a great waffle maker – what waffle mix did you use? Did you make one from scratch or did they recommend one with the maker? I love waffles and need to buy one of these for sure!
This waffle maker looks and sounds amazing. Making waffles was never one of my favourite things to do but using the Waring Belgian Waffle Maker seems like a whole different experience, no mess, just enjoy!

I’ve not yet had a Belgian waffle, this waffle maker does sound wonderful, esp that you don’t have to remove the plates to clean – a dream!
We LOVE our Waring Pro Belgian Wafflemaker!! It’s slightly different from the model you have but the same deep pockets. it took a few batches before I realized what I REALLY wanted to make was yeasted waffles. Now those are like the ones you get in restaurants.
When we were shopping for a waffle maker, we knew we wanted a Belgian waffle maker that you flip over. The Waring model seemed the best out of the ones we looked at.
This waffle maker sounds amazing, I need this in my kitchen. I love waffles for breakfast.
