Customer Review: This is the best waffle maker I've ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone through a few waffle makers and wanted to upgrade to something that could make belgian waffles, and also something that could get a number of waffles out faster. I very nearly bought two waffle bakers from another brand until I discovered this KitchenAid ProLine baker that cooks two waffles at the same time in just one appliance.
This is a double-deck baker. Open the upper section and pour in some batter, then close it and rotate the iron. You can now open the iron *again* and pour a second waffle, close it and re-rotate the iron to spread the batter.
The controls on the front have an on/off button, timer start & reset buttons, a large timer control knob, and an LCD display which is illuminated either red or blue to indicate if the iron is ready or if a waffle is over-baking. The baker also has an analog thermometer on one of it's two lids.
Once the batter is in, poke the 'start' button on the timer and it will begin counting down. When it reaches zero the display will flash and begin counting up, the display will also glow red (so you know it's done and the waffles need to be removed) and an audio tone will start beeping to alert you (in case you weren't paying attention). Poke the 'reset' button to acknowledge & silence the alarm and remove the waffles. If the reset button isn't pushed within 5 minutes the baker will shut down for safety.
The challenge with fresh waffles is that most bakers can only cook one at a time. Given that most waffle irons can only bake one waffle about every 3 minutes, it could be a while before you could make enough waffles to feed everyone. By baking two waffles at once, everyone is served in half the time.
I'm also very impressed with KitchenAid's ProLine warranty service. My brother has the ProLine espresso machine. More than year after getting it, one of the guages started to steam up. When he called to request service, they sent him a new replacement machine -- no questions asked. He wasn't expecting that... he thought they'd have him send it in for service. They don't seem to do "service" on these... if a ProLine appliance develops a problem they seem to just replace them. About a year later, the second machine developed a leak in the steamer (couldn't be shut off and would always drip water). He called them and, again and they sent him yet another new machine -- no questions asked (he jokingly calls it the gift that just keeps giving). All "ProLine" appliances have a two year "no hassle" replacement warrranty. When they call it the "no hassle replacement warranty" they really mean it.
This is definitely a high-end appliance. It's very well made. Apart from the buttons, knobs, and handles to open the lids, everything is metal -- there's no cheap plastic. Though it certainly does cost more than most waffle bakers, I can say that it is noticeably better than any other waffle baker and KitchenAid really does stand behind these appliances.
