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

I absolutely love my GreenPan waffle maker! From the moment I unboxed it, the quality stood out — it feels solid, well-built, and thoughtfully designed. The non-stick coating works exactly as advertised — waffles slide out easily with no sticking and clean-up is a breeze. It heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, so every waffle comes out golden and perfectly cooked. Whether I’m making thick Belgian waffles or thinner breakfast-style ones, the results are consistently great. The cool-touch handle and indicator lights make it easy to use, even for beginners. I also appreciate the easy maintenance — a quick wipe with a damp cloth and it’s ready for next time. Given the performance and durability, the price feels very reasonable compared to other waffle makers I’ve tried.

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. EDIT: After 2.5 years of use, I can say that I still do like this machine, but the heat distribution does seem to be a bit less consistent than I noted above (one side gets hotter/cookes faster than the other, though still usable; not sure if one of my heating elements is suffering with years of use now), which may have developed over time since I really seemed to be impressed at first. The plates may have also lost a bit of their non-stick properties, but coating them with oil (does seem like I need quite a lot now, especially for the first batch -- which also doesn't always turn out as well as later ones, possibly due to the heating) very thoroughly does help. I'm still not sure there's anything better that meet all of my criteria, and I'm still using it!

This waffle maker was a total hit for our Easter brunch! We hosted a large group, and it kept up effortlessly making plenty of waffles quickly and consistently. It’s super easy to use, every waffle came out perfect, and cleanup was a breeze. Highly recommend! Several of our guests were so impressed they’re now buying one too!

Absolutely worth the money! I have waited to purchase this for about 1.5-2 years unsure if I wanted to pay that much for a waffle pan. However, I have kids that love a big weekend breakfast and have been asking for waffles for forever. Other waffle makers I have bought in the past have a horrible metallic taste left over from all the chemicals, so much so that I had to throw them out. Love that Green Pan is PFAS free and there is no nasty taste! Just perfectly cooked waffles! 10/10 in my book!

When this machine works it's excellent and makes amazing waffles. You can tell the heating element works well and heats up evenly. But the operation is confusing. Cycling through waffle kinds (Belgian, Classic etc) is a knob but cycling through texture is a button. It beeps once warm up is done but doesn't give you time to pour the batter, it just waits a moment and starts the timer. If you push the start/stop button at this time, it'll turn off and when you turn it on again, it'll start the preheat cycle again. Preheat seems to be time-based rather than a thermostat that checks when the temp is ready. My unit also seems to have a defect. Sometimes the display won't turn on until the unit is hot (a full preheat cycle). I have to push buttons and go from memory because the screen is off. I contacted customer service in the hopes they would work with me but their reply was "just return to Amazon". I'm going to keep it and avoid the hassle, as I've learned to work around these quirks. At this price point I expected more from it.

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 really tried to fight my waffle craving but it turned into me purchasing a waffle iron. I was hesitant about buying it at first, unfortunately by being lied to (only two left in stock) I got it. Literally right after that, it magically changed to 20. Great marketing. It arrived very fast, in a brown box, great for me because I love to hide packages. Upon opening it, I noticed a few hairline scratches, it’s no big deal to me because it’s for cooking not to look pretty. I absolutely love it and how easy it is to use overall. It heats up fairly quickly and cooks my waffles perfectly based on my personal setting. I love how I can switch out the plates to whatever I’m in the mood for. Clean up is easy and it’s easy to shove it out of my way. I like to cook when no one is around to beg, the only complaint is the beeping noise lol. I plan to try every recipe I can think of, but so far I’ve been stuck on blueberry and banana nut.

We are waffle fanatics in this house and have been through SO many waffle irons looking for a quality one that would last. This is the one! Totally worth the high price. The plates seem like they will last, clean up is easy, and the waffle iron produces crisp, evenly brown waffles that taste amazing.
