GreenPan Elite 4-Square Belgian & Classic Waffle Iron, Healthy Ceramic Nonstick Aluminum Dishwasher Safe Plates, Adjustable Shade/Crunch Control, Wont Overflow, Easy Cleanup Breakfast, PFAS-Free,White

I have tested this waffle maker making Belgian Waffles, Regular Waffles and Liege Waffles. There is a little learning curve in the sense you need to decide how crisp you want the waffles and how dark. All the waffles turned out amazing. The Liege waffle was pure perfection. Cleanup was super easy. This waffle maker is nonstick and nothing sticks. After each use I wash it in soapy water and rinse. It is so easy to clean, I would not subject the plates to the dishwasher. Make sure you use regular vegetable oil and not Pam and those aerosol sprays will ruin a nonstick surface. I found I needed hardly any oil to prep the grates and after the first waffle I didn't grease it again and they all released beautifully. I was nervous spending so much money on this waffle maker, but it is worth every penny. I also like the fact there are no harsh chemicals. It is big, so keep that in mind. Mine sits on the countertop, but I do make waffles pretty frequently. Highly recommend.

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.

Awesome and easy to clean. Five stars out of five stars.

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.

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!
