Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker
Customer Review: Delicious Waffles!
Summary: 4 Stars
I started waffling with this iron the day I got it. It's very simple to use, and the "done-ness" adjuster is very handy since I like toastier waffles but my family tends to like lighter ones.
I have no complaints about this iron, I haven't had any of the burning or sticking problems other people have mentioned because I read the manual and I always grease the iron a little bit with Pam or some margarine before I use it. I have yet to encounter a truly non-stick surface on any kitchen product, especially a high-temperature surface like a waffle iron, so I always err on the side of caution and whip out the PAM.
The one picky thing I'd recommend is putting a tinfoil lip over the control slider, as batter sometimes oozes over the edge and threatens to get into the groove that houses the lever.
Customer Review: A Sticky Problem
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this waffle iron after reading all the great reviews it received. I have not had problems with it falling apart. My big problem with it is that the waffles stick and split in two leaving half the waffle on the top iron and half on the bottom. For me, it has done this from day one. The only way to keep it from sticking is to spray the top and bottom irons with cooking spray each time I pour the batter. Even then I still have to use a fork to pry loose the edges to make the waffle release. I have to use a pot holder on my left hand to prevent steam burns as I partially open the iron to keep the waffle from tearing and and then pry it loose with the fork. The extra cooking spray prevents the waffle from getting crisp and makes more of a mess to clean up. I would not recommend this product.Customer Review: Buy this waffle iron if you want your waffles to stick to the grill

Do not buy this puppy. As you can see it has been around for a while. I made waffles according to the receipe in the instruction book. Put the shade setting on 3 as recommended, waited for the light to go green as recommended. Waffles stuck to grill!!!!! Nothing was mentioned about spraying the waffle iron grill as it should be non stick. The waffle maker also does not have a large surface area so get enough waffle for more than one serving.
You cannot remove the waffle grill surface for cleaning. Not good. My old GE waffle iron has removable grills for easy cleaning when necessary.
I have an old GE waffle maker that is still making great waffles. The surface area is large enough for making two waffles about 6in x 6in. Actual size since is about 6in x 12in.
Customer Review: To the Nay Sayers
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first went to find myself a waffle maker, I noticed all of the negative reviews. I was considering another waffle maker, but then realized many folks complained the waffles stuck to their machine and that was the biggest issue. Well, I am no rocket scientist, but I can make waffle batter just fine. I used the recipe from the box! I've used this once a week since I purchased this waffle maker two months ago. Not ONE waffle stuck. I have no problems whatsoever with this product. I had to write a review just to bump up the average stars on this product. I am so irritated with the reviews of low-fat waffle eaters destroying the good name of a wonderful appliance. If you want a non-fat/low-fat waffle, just buy the frozen junk at the store. It will taste about the same anyway.Customer Review: Perfect waffle iron for the two of us:

This waffle maker works fine. It's easy to operate, easy to clean and can be stored vertically. It comes with recipes for several kinds of waffles.
This is a classic waffle maker with the standard size indentations your grandma's waffles had, not huge indentations that hold to much syrup and butter.
The first time I made waffles for hubby and I there were five waffles left over to freeze. They reheat beautifully in the toaster oven. You can nuke them but they loose their crispness. For the two of us, I make a half recipe of batter.
Even though the handle is cool touch, you'll want to wear a "hot" mitt when you open the lid. Or, raise the lid about an inch and hold it for a few seconds before opening it all the way.
