I love this iron. It’s compact, efficient and easy to use. Also arrived on time.

I purchased this iron for my vacation. The first time I tried to use it I discovered that it would not produce steam. The steam chamber is filled through the handle. Water that entered the handle did not reach the reservoir in the sole plate. No Steam! It was defective on arrival. DOA.

I was unable to get a full refund from Amazon because more than 30 days had elapsed. (I bought the iron for vacation and had put it in the closet unused. I never expected it would have to be tested).

I later called Black & Decker about this iron and was informed that it was discontinued in 2007. No where on the website do they tell you this. The iron was Made in China and is of poor quality. Do Not Buy!

I was looking for a traditional waffle iron with non stick grates. I love this unit because it makes 6 waffles at a time. The only drawback is that you have to be really careful about how much batter you use so it doesn’t run over on the sides. It cooks evenly, cleans easily (although I wish the grates were removeable), but it doesn’t get the waffles as crispy as I would like. Overall, though, I thought it was a great purchase for the money and would recommend it to others.

For those that have complained that they wished this made thicker waffles, I say, go buy a belgian waffle iron. This one makes great tradtion waffles. I grew up with my mom making tradtional waffles several times a weak (I look forward to one day inheriting that 40 year old waffle iron that still makes great waffles). I have been wanting a quality Waffle Iron for awhile.

The comment about waiting until completely done and letting the spilled batter dry/cook for easier cleanup is on the money with the advice.

As far as figuring out how much to pour…..every waffle batter recipe is different, the amounts of baking powder can very, the altitude your cooking at may differ from someone else, so when someone says use 2 cups, or 1 1/4 cups, take that with a grain of salt. it takes practice with your favorite waffle recipe. I personally do not use a measuring cup, I pour directly out of the mixing bowl, pouring across the center of the iron…..This is how I cook and I have quickly figured out the amount to pour by watching how much batter is in the iron. I find dipping a cup into the mixing bowl and the pouring into the iron can be messy and not all the batter pours out of the cup, so how do you really know how much your pouring……….

A few people have complained about this unit not having removeable plates, I think that is a good thing. the removeable plates that some waffles irons have can be a weak point trying to keep them to stay in place properly with how cheaply most products are made overseas these days….I refer back to the 40 year old waffle iron my moms still uses to make waffles for her grandkids (and her sons whenever we get the chance)….

Now that I’ve commented about other peoples reviews…………I really like the beeper on this unit, I do not have to have it where I can constantly see the light. Even though this is not that big of a deal as I have found with my batter reciepe, I do not have time to sit down and start eating before the next batch is read, and this is with it set on 3. I expected it to take a lot longer then it does, which is a good thing. My life likes hers crunchy, so I either turn it up for a batch or just leave them in a little longer.

Cleanup was simple, I use a rag dampened with hot water and wipe. I do recommend spraying the top and bottom irons before each first us with a non-stick spray, you will not have to spray again until the next time you get your iron out to use it.

this is a rip off for this terrible product .since the paper is the same on boht sides ,making hard and dificult to see wich side is the printing side and . in the end wasting all the transfer with out finish your work. stay away fron this product

Why would I take the time to write a review of a product like this? Because I want to keep others from ordering this piece of garbage.

1. Both sides of the paper are white and virtually the same texture. The instructions that come with the product about how to put it in your printed are actually wrong. How did I find this out? By ruining an iron trying to iron the transfer part by accident.

2. Your iron has to be HOT. Like industrial hot. Otherwise it won’t stick.

3. Peeling off the backing? Not really that easy, but OK

4. The only good thing I can say is that the colors look nice if you can finally transfer your image.

The ironing board arrived a little twisted from shipping. After giving it a little tlc it is functioning. It does have a little trouble standing on carpeting though. It still needs a little adjustment. It might have been in better shape if it was shipped in a box. Other than that, it is fine to iron on.

I was looking for this item for my 77 yr old mother, she is very old fashion and likes to iron!!! She loved it…especially the area that she can put down the iron, and that it came with a cover was a plus …she loved it
