Happy Mom
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My mother had wanted this Black & Decker Grill and Waffle Maker for some time. She was excited to have old fashion waffles and not Belgium’s. Because she has limited space for new gadgets in the kitchen she always hopes for one that has multi-functionality. This matched those requirements. For Christmas we got her the grill and waffle maker, she was thrilled. I was with her for the first use and we took it all apart and washed it, which appeared easy and basic. I have an electric grill that is horrible to clean because the plates don’t come off. This one the plates come off easily. The waffles we made the first time were great! My only critiques are that it seems much less durable then it should. The hinge has a lot of movement in it so it feels cheap. If your main use will be as a grill or you have a large family you may want to find something else, the grill space is small. Mom’s happy with it.. and isn’t that all that counts!?

Great multi-function grill
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The Black & Decker Grill/Waffle Maker is a great multi-function grill. The only negative is the cleanup.

Disappointed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
We bought this waffle iron based on "America's Test Kitchen" review, which gave this "iron" top ratings. We bought it on-line because we could not find it sold locally.

Our first waffle was "excellent", but the next one was slightly less done on the half near the hinges. The third and fourth ones from this batch were unevenly browned and changing the temp setting made no difference.

We waited a week (for our weekend waffle treat) and thought we should give the "iron" a second chance. Total disappointment. By the fourth and final waffle of the day, it was completely "white" when the light went out, indicating it was done. This was on the highest temp setting. (Note: Made in China, of course) Never tried the "Grill" option.

Bottom line: Returned for refund and are looking for a higher end product to purchase locally.

waffle baker
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This waffle baker was a replacement of a very old waffle baker of the same manufacturer and design that was no long reliable. The new waffle baker does not bake the waffle evenly. One side is under-baked even though the finished light indicates it is ready.

Horrible waffle iron
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Don't buy it. After the first couple of waffles no amount of oil can make it non stick. Also, the clips that hold the iron in place are horribly weak and unsafe. That combination results in either a ripped apart waffle when you open it, or the top iron staying attached to the waffle and since this thing gets so hot you have to wait about 20 minutes until you have to pry it open.

Save your money and buy something else.

B & D waffle iron review
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Was a little smaller than I expected. Does not cook as fast as my 50 year old Sunbeam which I was replacing. Waffles turn out flatter than old one I suppose because it doen’t cook as fast. Wish I had my old Sunbeam back but I can make do with the new one especially since I don’t want a Belgian maker and didn’t want to pay a fortune.

like the concept; not so much on performance
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Loved the idea of combining a waffle maker and a grill/griddle in one appliance. I’m trying to unclutter my kitchen, and keep only things that serve a multi-purpose or will get used all of the time. This item seemed like the solution. It was, briefly. But like some of the other reviewers I had problems with having to crank it up to high, and the waffles still not being browned. I had problems with my waffles sticking (yes, I tried oil, butter, cooking spray- none made a difference), so that when you opened the machine you had 1/2 a waffle on the top, 1/2 on the bottom. You then had to carefully peel both sides off and smoosh them back together to have a waffle. The final straw was when making pancakes on the grill, and the one side was so much hotter that they were burning, and the other side was taking double the time to cook. I had to keep switching the pancakes from side to side to try and even it out. And that was it!!! It was too late to return, and I wouldn’t wish it on the good folks at Good Will, so I consigned it to our township recycling heap. If you want crispy waffles- try the Villa Ware waffle maker. It’s excellent. If you want a grill/griddle, try the Cuisinart Griddler. It’s excellent.

B&D Waffle Baker
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Waffle maker worked well, made good tasting waffles and which cooked fast after unit was properly warmed up. Be careful to not use too much batter otherwise it’ll spill over the sides. Clean was easy but you need to get into the grooves to get “baked on” batter. I would definetly recoment this product to others.

The Best For The Least $
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Simply put, this is the best waffle maker, the most versital and easyest to clean up for the least money !!! I’ve read some of the other reviews, about the non stick coming off, but if you are carefull and gental, it will last for a long time, as goes with everthing these days. All in all a great product for the money

good grill
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The product is good. The picture of the machine on some site showed me bigger waffle plates which is why i chose this. However, this one is the regular size machine with 4 waffle makers. Anyway, thats the only thing bothering me. Otherwise its a good machine. The waffles come out very nice.
