Chefman Anti Overflow Waffle Maker Measuring Reviews Summary

Waffle Quality

Pros:

• "I was skeptical, but this waffle iron produced tasty crispy yet light waffles!"
• "I am very satisfied with this waffle maker, all my waffles came out great looking like i would have bought from a restaurant."
• "It's super simple to use: pour in 1/2 cup batter on setting 5 and you get a wonderfully crisp on the outside, completely cooked on the inside, dark golden brown, perfect, thick waffle."
• "I set the waffle iron on the number 4 setting and made chocolate chip waffles. They came out perfect for me."
• "The waffles come out perfect every time."
• "Makes them perfect every time! I like them soft so I keep temp low."
• "The highest setting makes the PERFECT waffle with crisp edges."

Cons:

• "The waffles do not crisp."
• "All attempts at making waffles only lead to very mushy, barely cooked waffles even on the highest settings."
• "Even on highest setting the waffle was looking like it was steamed or boiled without the crispy color."
• "If you want your waffle to have a little moisture left in them when they hit your plate you got to take them out IMMEDIATELY or else you have tasteless-dried out- crumbling pieces of cardboard on your plate that won't even soak up butter or syrup."
• "Picked highest setting. Waffle not even brown. Left it in for more than 5 more minutes. Still whimpy."
• "Waffles were not crispy. They were thin and soggy even at the highest setting."
• "It can only make a limpy, blonde waffle in five minutes."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "I liked the moat and the size."
• "I really like the overflow rim on this waffle iron."
• "The anti overflow feature is especially nice, and it stores on its side so it doesn't take up much room."
• "The anti-overflow feature... OH MY GOD! Why haven’t all waffle makers been made this way?"
• "The overflow moat works best when the user sticks to the instructions and portions indicated on the enclosed measuring cup."
• "I love the overflow well design. It’s not only catches the overflow but cooks it up with the waffle."
• "The overflow edge is a great feature too. I love it!"

Cons:

• "Really? It does a great job not spilling but that's it."
• "This isn't the best waffle maker spend a little more and get a better one."
• "Smells like burning plastic when in use! Makes broken waffles not sure if it cooks too quick or what but glad I only spent $10 on it."
• "Not 'anti overflow' as mentioned. Batter has to be in correct quantity otherwise it spills out."
• "The overflow barely works."
• "However, when I first used it I saw that I’d somehow overlooked a break in the outer shell."
• "Anti-overflow is a joke."

Usability and Cleaning

Pros:

• "I owned and used my families waffle irons. I am so happy with this one, easy to use is so clean ever baking."
• "Super easy to clean though. Nothing got stuck inside and just used a damp towel to wipe off the edges & came right off."
• "It is easy to use and cleans up easily."
• "It is easy to use and clean."
• "Clean up is a breeze, just wipe with a paper towel."
• "Wipes clean with a damp paper towel and no sticking."
• "Easy to clean."

Cons:

• "You more than likely will burn yourself trying to open this thing."
• "The 'cool touch handle' is so small and placed in such a bad location making ease of use by consumer impossible."
• "It’s a nice little waffle maker but every time I try to open it to get my waffle out, the top it’s stuck and it takes a few minutes for me to open it up to get the waffle out."
• "This is a very difficult item to clean and a bit tricky to open."
• "This waffle maker is not very good... This unit is very hard to clean."
• "This is almost IMPOSSIBLE to clean, since you can't remove the waffle irons."
• "It's beginning to stick after about ten uses."

• "I love this waffle maker so much. Fantastic NO Mess! Adjustable browning level works well! Cooks great."
• "For the price, I'm happy with it."

Cons:

• "The product looks great but it does not heat enough: I tried max temperature, and the waffles get crispy before getting a bit brown, even with oil on it."
• "I bought this product for the great reviews I read here but it failed on us big times."
• "This product is horrible! I bought this recently and have used twice each time the same result an absolute mess!"
• "I love this waffle maker but, after a few uses I noticed the waffles were beginning to stick.."

• "Really regret not returning it."
