Cuisinart WAF-F20 Double Belgian Waffle Maker

Family-Friendly Breakfast

The double-decker design of this Cuisinart makes it an excellent option for serving the whole family. With several cooking settings and powerful design, you can't go wrong with this model.

The WAF-F20 has it all. The dual waffle chambers get the job done quickly since you can cook two waffles at one time. To ensure each waffle is a hit, there's a six-setting browning control knob that cooks waffles to perfection. The settings range from soft to crispy and everything in between.

There are 2 LED indicator lights and 3 audio beep signals that alert you when your waffles are cooked. When you hear the beep, you'll turn the rotary handle, grab your waffle, and you're ready for breakfast time!

Unlike some waffle makers, this one has 1-inch waffle pockets that are deeper than most on the market, so your waffles will be tall, mighty, and utterly delicious.

Key Features

  • 6-setting browning control knob
  • Nonstick coated grid
  • 1-inch waffle pockets
Best Square Waffles

Hamilton Beach 2-Slice Non-Stick Belgian Waffle Maker

Convenient Upright Storage Capacity

We love this offering as it's easy to get perfectly cooked waffles to your liking thanks to the "Select Your Shade" setting. Power and preheat lights lets you know when it's time to start cooking!

What's not to love about this double square waffle maker from Hamilton Beach? The machine has Belgian-style grids that are over an inch deep, making each waffle filling, fluffy, and perfectly textured. In case you prefer your waffle cooked a certain way, you can utilize the shade selector that toasts your waffle to your liking. Plus, a power and preheat button on top cuts out the guesswork so you know when the grid is perfectly heated and batter is ready to be added.

Unlike most waffle makers, this one can lock into place and be stored upright when you're done making breakfast, so your maker is out of sight, but not necessarily not out of mind!

  • Premium stainless steel exterior
  • Side-by-side nonstick grids
  • Shade selector ranges from light to brown to crispy
