Disney DCM12 Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker, Red by Disney

Product Information

While waffles are delicious and fun to make, a machine that is hard to clean certainly makes them a less enticing option. In our testing, Breville’s No Mess Waffle Maker is the best waffle maker out there to alleviate this issue, and it features a handful of other options that we appreciate. Overall, we recommend the Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker as the best waffle maker for its unique vertical design, easy pour spout, and ease of cleaning. If you’re in the market for a more affordable option, the Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker is the best waffle maker on a budget. For the lower price point, we appreciate that it includes features like intuitive cook settings, light indicators, and rubber feet. This simple option includes one indicator light on the top to let you know that it is preheated, but there are no other indicators that let you know the status of your waffle. However, it does have other features that we like, such as an easy-to-lift handle to keep your fingers safe. It also heats up faster than any other waffle maker on our list, taking just two minutes and 20 seconds.

In terms of functionality, this waffle maker features a light indicator when it is ready to be used and another indicator to let you know when your waffle is fully cooked. The waffle maker heats the plates to the medium settings’ temperature in just two and a half minutes—faster than some of the more expensive models on our list. It can also stand on its end for easier and more compact storage Your Questions, Answered What's the difference between a Belgian waffle maker and a regular waffle maker?In testing, we found that this option does a great job of evenly and consistently browning the waffle, producing a great final texture. This is in part due to the even distribution across the plates with thermally engineered heating elements. It also features a moat surrounding the plates to catch excess batter for easier cleanup. A final simple yet excellent feature is the “bit more” button, which allows you to brown your waffles slightly more without having to restart the cycle. While this waffle maker creates a great finished product, it has one of the longer heat-up times on our list, taking four minutes and 14 seconds. Once it’s ready, the LCD screen turns orange, and it says “end” when the waffle is complete. In testing, we found that the second half of the grid takes about 30 seconds to fill up, which is mildly inconvenient, but it didn’t affect the finished product’s evenness. This mini waffle maker comes with the ability to make your waffles in specific shapes, such as a heart or bunny. The result, in our testing, is a simple device that comes in fun colors and is able to make single servings and dessert waffles.

We share your disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your patronage.

To ensure that your waffles are cooked perfectly, this option features a rotating function. It comes with six heat settings that we found to work very well and make a noticeable difference in the finished waffle. The cleanability of this product also elevates it, with a drip tray that is also very easy to wipe down. Breville’s BWM640XL Smart 4-Slice Waffle Maker features an LCD screen that allows you to adjust your choice specifically between Belgian, classic, chocolate, and buttermilk waffles, and it also includes a custom option. From there, 12 different settings allow you to further customize your waffles in terms of how light or dark you want them. Making delicious waffles at home shouldn’t have to break the bank, and Cuisinart’s WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker is proof of that. We found the cook settings of this option to be intuitive and there were noticeable differences in the finished product between all of the settings.

Red Power and Preheat Indicator Light: Power indicator light tells you when the power is on and tells you when the cooking plates are hot enough.While the Krups Belgian Waffle Maker can make four waffles at a time, features cord storage, and is easy to clean, it falls short in other regards. For starters, it doesn’t have the most aesthetically pleasing exterior, and it took too long to cook the waffles, with about a six-minute cook time per waffle. From there, it takes a while to reheat between batches. Additionally, the lower heat settings result in very pale waffles and the handle also gets hot during use.
