Smart Planet MWM-1 Mini Flip Belgain Waffle Maker



less than impressed
I was a bit of a waffle queen in my hey-day as a young mom - four people, four waffle irons, *no* waiting, lol! We enjoyed waffles of every shape and size - Heart shaped, Belgian, Mini Belgian, and Traditional - Sunday mornings were definitely something to look forward to.

This little waffle iron was certainly interesting to me as I'm now an empty-nester cooking for one. Makes two inch waffles - too cute! Too bad though, this model did not work out for me.

The picture tells the story best - not the "picture" of something I'd be proud to serve guests. See photo added.

Cooks very inconsistently - the bottom of the waffles get significantly more browned and crispy and the tops less done, not crispy - the color from one waffle to the next even varies widely in the same batch. The picture shows burned spots on a light waffle. Really?!? It is possible this is simply a defective unit however the hot spots are not the only issue with this unit...

Good for the price
Me and my Lady love the little waffles that one of our local resteraunts offers, so when I found this, I thought that it would be a great way to make our own little waffles. Product arrived when promised and as advertised. The 2 drawbacks that we found was 1) there is not a way to remove the waffle cooking surfaces for thorough cleaning and 2) the turning mechanism is cheaply made and doesn't turn easily/smoothly. Overall, a good purchase for the occasional waffle maker, but if you're wanting to do a mass continuous production, find another one.

A Bit Confusing
I bought this when I first moved into my apartment. I must say it is a cute waffle maker, but it is not very effective; I say this because their is not a timer on the waffle maker, so you have NO idea when the waffles are ready. Now granted their is a light that turns from green to red, but this does not indicated when the waffles are done because you STILL have to turn them over!
