Buying Waring Pro WMK300A Professional Stainless-Steel Belgian Waffle Maker

I had been looking to purchase the Waring Pro WMK300A Professional Stainless-Steel Belgian Waffle Maker for some time, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay nearly $200 for a waffle maker. I have no idea what brought about the drop in price from Waring, but I think this price point is much more reasonable for the functionality and quality of the device.

We were always big fans of waffles. The old chrome waffle iron we used for more than forty years made nice crispy (thin) waffles. When it finally died a few years ago, we just did without for some time. After deciding to get a new iron we started looking at the options. We decided to go with the thicker "Belgian" style waffle maker and after further study we decided on a "flip" type model. We looked hard at the Waring Pro but as I said it was too expensive. We ended up getting a Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker. It worked great with just a few drawbacks. When we had a chance to pick up the Waring Pro, we went for it.

The Waring Pro has proven to be a great performer. The flip function allows the batter to coat both the upper and lower grids evenly and simultaneously. This creates a better crust and a lighter fluffier interior. Using the waffle maker couldn't be easier, just plug in, turn on, wait for the iron to preheat, spray a light coating of non-stick cooking spray on both plates (first waffle only), using the included measuring cup pour on the batter, close the maker and flip. The machine will tell you when the waffle is done, just flip again and remove.
The maker has several great features:

1. On/Off switch
2. Stainless steel drip tray
3. Batter measuring cup
4. Browning level selector
5. Finish alarm

We have used the waffle maker twice and are very pleased with the results. After reading some of the reviews, it appears the model has had some problems with longevity. If I find that to be the case for us I will return later and update this review.
