GreenPanElite 4-Square Belgian & Classic Waffle Iron, Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Aluminum Dishwasher Safe Plate, Adjustable Shade/Crunch Control, Wont Overflow, Easy Clean, Breakfast,PFAS-Free,Graphite

Well made and easy to use. This is a great little machine (I got the two waffle one). The automatic cooking when making multiple batches works well and the preheat signal and done signal is loud enough to hear! Preheats fast and is quick to make multiple batches with no down time between batches. Storing the extra irons under the unit is a bit tricky so I recommend putting a paper towel between the faces of the plates so they don’t get scratched because the storage mechanism tightly presses them together. Note: there is a latch to keep the unit locked closed for carrying by the handle, and that is locked when you unbox it. The lock is under the left handle, so be sure to remember to open that because it is nowhere mentioned in the instructions. When I’m the crisp cycle it crisps/browns one side a bit more than the other, but that is inconsequential.

I've tried a lot of waffle makers over the last several years, including cheap ones from big-box stores that I actually thought worked quite well. But I wanted something with removable plates to make things easier to clean, and I wanted to avoid Teflon and similar coatings. I tried a cheaper waffle maker (Hamilton Beach ceramic with removable plates) that met these criteria but cooked waffles poorly, perhaps due to being under-powered. I had wanted to try this GreenPan waffle maker for some time, but the high price turned me off for a while -- but after deciding I had enough of the others, I gave it a try, and I'm glad I did!This is the best waffle maker I have used. I'd certainly expect something good at this price, and it didn't disappoint. It met all of my criteria -- removable plates, no Teflon/PTFE/etc., adjustable cook settings -- and makes some of the best-cooked waffles I've made. (Really, some cheap ones did a good job here, too, but some were a bit uneven, perhaps areas where the heating element didn't quite cover as well. Not this one!) The built-in timer is nice and seems to be accurate based on the settings you can adjust (waffle type, texture, and color -- or manual settings), it comes with both classic and Belgian plates that are removable and easy-to-clean, and both sets of plates have a little extra area around the sides to catch overflow, keeping the unit itself easy to clean as well.The biggest disadvantage compared to other units I've used is that this one is a bit small and takes a bit longer to cook than some others (over 5 minutes, depending on settings--I've had some cook in as little as 3 or so in cheap ones I can't adjust anything on), but whatever they've figured out with temperature and time seems to be a winning combination, so I can't complain about the results. Two of these square waffles are about like one of the larger round waffles I've made in some other machines. They make a four-square unit if you wanted to try more at once, but I didn't want to deal with the added expense or space I'd need to store that.The only other odd thing is that while the unit claims to have storage for the extra set of pans, it's not quite what you'd think: it's basically hook/bar on the bottom of the unit you can nestle the plates on while you are storing the unit (they made it sound like it might be something hidden *in* the unit you could keep there while you're using it; you really have to remove them before you set it on the counter to use). This is not practical for me, so I just keep the plates somewhere else.All things considered, I'm glad I finally sprung for this unit and wish I would have done so sooner.

I love this waffle iron. I use it for gluten free waffles. No baking spray is needed!

Heavy duty and it makes great waffles. Nobody has to wait for thrir waffle.

Amazon customer service, that is. Now when I look at the appliance on my counter, it makes me mad… because of the way that this improper double charge/return was handled by Amazon. When you make a mistake, I’m not supposed to pay for it. Need to be swift and accurate. everything that you can to make it right because your mistake. But nope. Told one thing did another. And if I can read my own previous chats, can customer Service not seeing them?? Nope causen every time. I I have to say “please let me Transfer you to my lead” And made me call back cause he couldn’t transfer me cause he was on cue to talk to senior leadership manager. Lololololo…In all. Great freaking waffle maker(when it’s new) great recipes online. Makes perfect and amazing waffles waffles (crispy) and soft luxurious soft Belgian waffles. Follow recipes to test and find your favorite. Highly recommend when it’s on sale. Follows the directions!! Make them from scratch. It’s a different dimension. Of goodness. Treat it well and carefully. Or it will never last.Sorry for the 1 stars green pan. If was just terrible customer service. You really get 5. Just had to put it in a cabinet because it was making mad when I went by it. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I love this waffle maker! Spendy, but so worth it. Adjustable for fluffy insides and crispy outside.

I would give this waffle maker three stars if it wasn't for the ease of use and convenience of this waffle maker. It just doesn't make the best waffles. My old all but broken-down waffle maker that was impossible to clean made much better waffles but was just messy.The Pros:1. The plates really are durably dishwasher safe and the waffles won't stick to them even a little2. For its size it's really light and stores nicely3. There's plenty of settings and the timer is quite convenientThe Cons1. The custom settings are a pain to use and very counter intuitive2. No matter how I try, I have a hard time getting really good waffles out of this waffle maker3. IMHO the belgian plates aren't deep enough. Deeper depressions equal better taste and more syrup holding ability.So, I'll keep this waffle maker even though I have a bit of remorse. It really is convenient compared to a big brick of a waffle maker that's harder to clean and store.
