In tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this waffle maker proved to be the best in every category and consistently produced waffles with crisp exteriors and soft, moist interiors. Unlike lesser units that only make one waffle at a time, the best unit makes two 7 1/2 diameter x 1 1/4 thick Belgian waffles in five minutes. The specially designed dual waffle plates rotate to ensure the fullest expansion of the batter, resulting in golden brown waffles with minimal gaps. No other unit scored higher for capacity; the best waffle maker accommodates up to one cup of batter and made the largest waffles of any model tested. A channel along the edge of the plates catches batter and prevents overflow, you can set browning levels and baking time at the touch of a button, and the LCD shows time remaining in a cycle. Nonstick plates wipe clean; stainless steel exterior. Plugs into AC. 13 H x 13 W x 19 D. (21 lbs.).
