Ranked #5 in Best Waffle Makers

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

3.9

2 sources1 derived$11as of Aug 1

The Dash Mini is the cheapest pick here and the one with the narrowest job: a single four-inch waffle at a time, no controls beyond an indicator light. Reviewed rates it 4.3 out of 5 and TechGearLab scored it 71 out of 100 as one of the better mini-style makers. It cooks unevenly in a single cycle and cannot feed more than one person, but at this price that is the deal.

Strengths

— Named one of the best mini-style waffle makers by Reviewed and TechGearLab
— Tiny footprint stores in a drawer and heats up quickly
— No buttons at all: plug it in and watch the indicator light

Watch-outs

— Makes one small four-inch waffle at a time
— Can cook the top unevenly and leave the centre underdone in one cycle
— No browning control or timer

Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker

4.4

2 sourcesall derived$61.99as of Aug 1

The Presto 03510 FlipSide is the best budget Belgian flip maker and America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy. Its professional-style 180° flip and ceramic nonstick grid produce thick, well-browned waffles "almost an inch and a half high," and it stores slim on its side for around $65. It handles only one waffle at a time and can drip condensation when flipped. For cheap, genuine Belgian waffles it is a proven value.

Strengths

— America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy Belgian maker — "well-browned waffles almost an inch and a half high"
— Professional-style 180° flip for thick, even Belgian waffles
— Ceramic nonstick grid wipes clean and stores slim on its side

Watch-outs

— Can drip hot condensation when flipped
— Only makes one waffle at a time
— Browning control is a timer dial, not a heat setting

How they stack up

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

By far the smallest and cheapest maker here, sized for single four-inch waffles and chaffles rather than breakfast for a family. It cannot approach the output or the browning control of the Breville BWM640XL Smart Waffle Pro, Cuisinart WAF-F40 Double Flip, Presto FlipSide or Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic.

Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker

The budget Belgian flip pick: makes nearly inch-and-a-half-tall waffles like the Cuisinart WAF-F40 Double Flip but cheaper and slimmer to store, though it makes one at a time and uses a timer rather than heat-level browning. Far thicker Belgian output than the basic Cuisinart WMR-CA or the tiny Dash Mini; far cheaper than the Breville BWM640XL Smart Waffle Pro.
